The archbishop of Paris says the archbishop of New York has accepted an invitation to pray with Jews next year on Yom Hashoah, Holocaust remembrance day.

The Jewish-born Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger, whose mother died at Auschwitz, says he extended the invitation to Cardinal John O'Connor "in the spirit of penance and an act of faith in the Lord of the living and the dead."The commemoration would take place April 13.

Lustiger was in New York where he and Rene-Samuel Sirat, chief rabbi of France, were honored for their work toward interreligious understanding.

Pope John Paul II has made improving relations between the religions a cornerstone of his papacy.
