countries in 1858, he reported were
S9, ,992, ,554, as against S8,0O0,26 in
1852.
Most of the increase, il was
brought out, was due TO the lsrs-
er contribution from the US. So
eiefy for the Propagation of the
Faith. In 1883, Archbishop Nisris
stated, the American society ex-
eeeded its 1852 contribution by

many refugees from various Red
dominated lands representing their
prosecuted brethren.
The crowd which oVerfIowed

roof too and filled every avail
able window overlooking the
massed thousands. So great were
the crowds that even people
with special tickets began taking
their places about six hours be-
fore the ceremony started, in or
der TO be sure of their spots at
this memorable ceremony.
The ceremony began with the
great papal procession at $50, as
the bright sun began to dip down
behind the majestic dome of st.
Peters Basilica. Over 500 members
of the Hierarchy were in the color
full line.
Following the Order priests
came the diocesan clergy from all
the baSilicas and collegiate church
es in Rome, the members of the
Sacred Congregation of Rites -
which processed the cause of the
new saint-and representatives of
lay confraternities and other per-

Next came the papal court itself
with lay and clerical attendants,
chamberlains, chaplains, prelates of
the signature (the Church's SUI

Master of the sacred palace.
Then came the papal cross borne
by Judge of the Sacred Rota, the
confessors of st. Peters Basilica-
headed by Father Giles Kaczmarek,
an American Conventual, the Alb
bots General and Abbots Nullius,
Bishops. Archbishops, Patriarchs
and then the Cardinals.
The members of the Sacred Col
Iege were followed by the Holy
Father who was carried in the cam
opied gestatorial chair, flanked
by two great 'flabelle" or ostrich
plume fans.
The Pontiff carried a lighted
candle in his left hand, using his
right to bless the tremendous, ju-
bilant crowd shouting "Viyas" for
the Pope.
Arriving at the great center door
of st. Peters Basilica the Pontiff
took his seat on the special throne
erected there. Other members of
the procession took their places on
both sides and in front of the
throne.
Then Cardinal Cicognani ap-
