Title: The church and the Kennedys.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-30269 THE CHURCH AND THE KENNEDYS Memorable days for a Catholic family. Below, Richard Cardinal Cushing, Archbishop of Boston, is shown after baptizing Christopher George, son of Attorney General and Mrs. Robert F. Kennedy at Hyannisport [sic], Mass. The President’s warm smile reflects the family’s happiness. Above, Mars 20, 1939, when U.S. Ambassador to England Joseph P. Kennedy, his wife and children were granted an audience by Pope Pius XII. The President-to-be is second from left, back row. Tragedy stalked the Kennedys: the oldest son died an air hero of World War II; a daughter was retarded; a daughter died in a plane crash; and most recently a nation shared their grief upon the assassination of the second son, John Fitzgerald, 35th President of the U.S. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-11E-63-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. Kennedy Jr. Foundation, were used for four archdiocesan projects. The foundation was named for the President’s older brother Joseph, killed in World War II. In this photo, Ted Kennedy is at left, Robert at right. Below, the first Catholic president of the United States receives a gift from Pope Paul VI at Vatican City. The gift was a model of the Pieta, Michelangelo’s masterpiece which will be exhibited at the Vatican Pavilion during the New York World’s Fair. The Pope lauded Mr. Kennedy and the U.S. government for its efforts to promote racial equality. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-11E-63-W)

Title: Priest war hero dies at 58.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-30748 PRIEST WAR HERO DIES AT 58 WORCESTER, Mass. -- Father Joseph T. O'Callahan of Worcester, the only American military chaplain to get the Congressional Medal of Honor--the nation's highest and rarest decoration for courage--died at the age of 58. Left photo shows the priest receiving the Medal of Honor in 1946 from President Truman at the White House. Father O'Callahan, a faculty member of Holy Cross College in Worcester for nearly 20 years, died on the eve of the 19th anniversary of the Japanese suicide attack on the aircraft carrier, Franklin, off the coast of Kobe on March 19, 1945. He received the medal for his heroism during that attack--beyond the call of duty--in helping to save the ship and the lives of men. The priest's exploits on that day were later subjects of a book, several magazine articles, a movie and a Navy training film. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (OJM-WOR-3D-64-NAB)
