Holy Father Grants
Private Audience to
IV. C. C. W. Delegates
VATICAN CITY—(Radio, NC)
His Holiness Pope Pius XII mani
fested the deepest interest in the
work of the National Council of
Catholic Women when he granted
a private audience to the official
delegation from that organization
to the Congress of* the Interna
tional Union of Catholic Women’s
Leagues.
The Pope’s reception of the
American delegation is considered
a particular and most unusual
honor, in view of the fact that all
delegates to the Congress had
been previously received in a gen
eral audience.
Mrs. Henry Mannix, president of
the National Council of Catho
lic Women, was first received in
the Holy Father’s private study
and she, in turn, introduced the
other members of the delegation,
explaining their position and par
ticular field of activity within the
N. C. C. W.
Those received in addition to
Mrs. Mannix were: Mrs. Joseph
Boillin, Mrs. Thomas J. Smith,
Mrs. P. J. Currier, Miss Margaret
Hughes, members of the board of
N. C. C. W., and Miss Ruth Craven,
executive secretary of the organ
ization, as well as three American
youth observers who attended the
meeting of the Youth Section of
the International Union.
In a lengthy conversation with
the members of the delegation,
who were seated around the Holy
Father’s desk, he inquired about
the progress made in the work of
N. C. C. W. and its participation
in deliberations of the Congress.
He requested that N. C. C. W.
officers and members throughout
the country be informed of his
deep appreciation of their work
and their generous support of the
charitable activities of the Vatican.
At the end of the audience, the
Holy Father imparted his special
blessing to Mrs. Mannix, the mem
bers of the Board and staff of N.
C. C. W., and their families.
The American delegation was
also singled out for particular
honor in the address with which
His Eminence Giuseppe Cardinal
Pizzardo, protector of the Inter
national Union, opened the de
liberations of the Congress. He
greeted them as representatives
of America’s Catholic women,
“whose charity in bringing relief
to war sufferers has reached
throughout Europe and who have
shown such great loyalty to the
Holy Father.”
Cardinal Pizzardo greeted about
400 representatives from 32
countries, including England, Aus
tria, Belgium, Spain, France, Li
thuania, Luxemburg, Malta, Nor
way. Netherlands, Czechoslovakia,
Switzerland, Portugal, Scotland,
Ireland, Italy, Argentina, Brazil,
Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico,
Peru, Venezuela. Ecuador, Hon
duras, Guatemala. Panama, Santo
Domingo, Philippines, Canada and
the United Stales.
Presiding at the first session
of the congress was Miss Anne
Sarachon Hooley, member of the
Bureau of the International Union,
and assistant executive director
of the National Catholic Com
munity Service.
Delegates from Latin-American
countries and wives of Latin-
American diplomats accredited to
the Holy See were guests of
honor at a reception arranged for
them by Mrs. Mannix. president of
N. C. C. W., and Princess Chris
tina Giustiana Bandini. foundress
of the International Union. Dele
gates from Argentina, Brazil,
Chile, Cuba, Mexico, Ecuador,

Women, Miss Alba Zizzamia. pro

“THE CHURCH in our country
now enjoys agreater freedom than
ever before,” declare the Japanese
Bishops in a joint pastoral, iust
issued, which brings religious op
portunities and needs in Japan
into sharp focus. “While destroy
ing many evils, the new era has
also brought new dangers,” the
Bishops state, as they call on
priests and laity to spread knowl
edge of Catholic social action
teaching, join in works of charity,
and to promote intellectual apost-
olate.
