2025 Easter Message
from the VPS Webmaster

Vatican City
Stamp Release

I hope everyone is having a great Easter weekend! Behind the screens, the VPS Website Team has worked through the process of getting our web server upgraded with additional disk space. This has positioned the VPS website to have additional graphic images in our daily emails and on our webpages. We have also begun to make some minor changes in some of the daily features, as you will soon notice.

Continual development of the Vatican Philatelic Society is only possible because of the support received from the VPS membership. Thirty to thirty five percent of VPS funding comes from donations. The source for the rest of our funding is membership dues. The Vatican Philatelic Society is also sustained by the non-monetary time and talent various VPS members give to the society. Each VPS member who sends a quick email message or graphic image surely helps to keep things moving fotward. Each contribution is truly appreciated, and I personally want to thank all members who have made contributions to VPS Website projects.

No doubt Vatican stamp collecting is being challenged by the suspension of the Vatican Postal CFN sales website. Hopefully, this situation will change soon and we can get back having new stamps, covers, and postmarks to put into our Vatican City collections. Meanwhile, it is a good time to get Vatican stamp material from past years. There is lots of good material available from stamp dealers all over the world, so, enjoy searching the internet for good deals. And, keep telling friends and family how great it is to collect stamps from Vatican City, and about the benefits of being a Vatican Philatelic Society member.

Finally keep checking the VPS website at http://vaticanstamps.org . The website team continues the evolution of Vatican stamp collecting information. Almost every day some minor change is made to the website. We really, really thank you for reading our material and for your continued support. HAPPY EASTER!
