Cardinals esidence,
Baltimore, Md, Sept. 16, 1895
Dear Rev. Father:
On September 20 the Italian government
will celebrate the twenty-fifth celebration
of the annexation of the Roman provinces
to the kingdom of Italy. While public
demonstrations are thus being carried on
in memory of this occupation OF what had
for centuries been papal dominions, the
Holy See desires that the faithful children
If the church throughout the world should
unite in praying for the freedom and indie
pendence of the Pope.
You are therefore requested to publicly
recite on that day in your church, at the
mass which is most fully attended, the
litany of the saints, praying, according to
the intentions of the sovereign pontiff,
that Providence may soon vouchsafe to
grant to the church and her visible head
the liberty SO necessary for the exercise of
their divine mission. Faithfully yours,
j. CARDINAL GIBBONS.
At st. Aloysius' Church the services will
be very solemn, the vestments being purple
and the litany will be chanted by the full
vested choir. At st. Matthew'S, being
the diplomatic church of the city, it will
be a more quiet affair. The Italian am
Baron Fava, and his family attend
ST. Matthew's, also all the members OF
he legation who are Catholics. A solem-
nifty of any note would not be very cour-
teous to those sojourners on our shores
who are necessarily in sympathy with King
Humbert's celebration.
