Title: Pieta's safe arrival.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-30877 PIETA’S SAFE ARRIVAL NEW YORK -- Pieta, the Michelangelo masterpiece depicting the dead Christ lying in the arms of Mary, arrives safely in New York after its long and, thankfully, uneventful trip from Vatican City. Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York, who secured the permission of the late Pop John XXIII to bring the statue to the U.S., is shown at right after he had blessed the Pieta aboard a barge in the harbor. Pope Paul VI also approved the cardinal’s request. Bound for the World’s Fair where an estimated 15 million people will view it at the Vatican Pavilion, the masterpiece was insured for $6 million while in transit. Another statue, “The Good Shepherd,” also brought from Vatican City, was insured for $2 million. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (BB-NY-4C-64-W)

Title: Gifts to be remembered.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-30270 GIFTS TO BE REMEMBERED The Church was very much a part of the life of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Above, the Kennedy brothers are shown as they presented a check for $1,178,000 to the then Archbishop Richard J. Cushing of Boston. The funds, from the Joseph P.

Title: Priest given title of Protopresbyter.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-30710 PRIEST GIVEN TITLE OF PROTOPRESBYTER NEW YORK -- Pope Paul VI has conferred a rare title -- that of Protopresbyter -- upon Father Andrew Rogosh, assistant secretary of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association. He is the only Protopresbyter in the United States and one of the few in the Catholic world. Title is a distinction in the Byzantine-Russian Rite which resembles to some extent the rank of Protonotary Apostolic in the Roman Rite. It carries with it certain privileges of dress and precedence, including the right to wear the mitre [sic. miter]. The papal honor was in recognition of Father Rogosh's 20 years of service with the welfare agency. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (R-NY-3B-64-W)
