THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1963 GEORGIA BULLETIN PAGE 3 OFFERS HELP Pope Paul Praises Press For Vatican Coverage VATICAN CITY (NC)—Pope Paul VI praised the press for its coverage of Pope John’s death and the conclave, and told newsmen he will do all he can to help them cover and under stand the coming second session of the ecumenical council. The Pope greeted members of the press as *’colleagues and friends” when he received about 1,000 newsmen in an audience (June 29) in the Vatican’s Cle mentine Hall. RESPONDING to brief greet ings of spokesmen for the fore ign and Italian press associat ions, Pope Paul spoke in It alian, thanking them for their services to the Church and ex pressing his appreciation of the problems of their tasks. The Pope singled out two re cent events—the death of Pope John and the conclave— to compliment the journalists for a report to the world “which was on the whole so dignified and reverent.” He said the press and other communications media in re- C & S REALTY COMPANY “Specialists in Commercial and Industrial Real Estate” Suite 200 Henry Grady Bldg.

Having seen that it is generally considerate and benevolent toward the Holy See, We give it willingly the re ward of Our public recognition and Our gratitude.” Pope Paul observed that there is a comparison between "the relations, existing or possible, of Our apostolic ministry and your profession as journal ists.” He added that he would not go into the subject in this discourse, seeming to promise a further development of the matter at a later time. Then he recalled that his fat her, Giorgio Montini, was a journalist and that this made him feel a special affinity to those in the audience. He said: “IT IS true that Our father was a journalist of another time, and for many years editor of a modest but courageous pro vincial daily. But, were We ask ed to say but what professional consciousness he was animated and by what moral virtures he was sustained, We believe that, without being swayed by affect ion, We could trace the pro file of a person who considered the press as a splendid and courageous mission in the ser vice of truth, democracy and progress, in a word, in the ser vice of the public welfare. “We refer to this fact, not simply to give praise to that most worthy man so very dear to Us, but to tell you, gentle men of the press, how predis posed is Our mind to sympathy, esteem and trust for what you are and for what you do. We can almost say that Our family education makes Us one of you. It makes you Our colleagues and friends.” THE FIRST AMERICAN CITY St. Augustine Will Mark It’s Founding VriiinspictionYcall CE. 7-8694 Fifty-five years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, 210 years before the American Revolution, St. Aug ustine was established on the Florida shore.

A large number of Indians watched these proceedings and Imitated all they saw done.” Father Lopez then offered a Mass of Thanksgiving. It was the first parish Mass and the first community act of Christ ian religion in the United States. After the Mass was over the ex plorers set to work building an American settlement. In quick order Menendez and his men made friends with the Indians, moved into the “great House” of the cacique, or vill age, built a moated fortificat ion, and mounted twenty-four brass cannon. THEY called the settlement St. Augustine because they had first sighted land at Cape Can averal on the feast day of that saint. They called the site of their landing Nombre de Dios- Name of God - because they had claimed the land in God’s name. From that time on §t. Augus tine and Nombre de Dios were regularly occupied. The settle ment became a town, then a city. From Nombre de Dios A mission was founded, from which hundreds of priests and laymen went out to Christianize the continent. Both city and mission stand today as the cra dle of American Christian civi lization. Today, on the old mission grounds a rustic altar com memorates that firstMass.

The United States is familiar territory to His Holiness Pope Paul VI He was a leisurely tourist here in 1951 and return ed in 1960 for a quick trip to several major cities. The new Pope’s first trip to North America was, by his own description, a holiday tour. He told newsmen then that it was the fulfillment of a long-stand ing wish to see the United States and Canada. IN THREE weeks, then-Msgr. Giovanni Battista Montini, Sub stitute Papal Secretary of State, covered several thousand miles, much of it by automobile. He was here August 20 to Sep tember 9. He flew from London to Mon treal. After four days in Can ada, he entered the United States through Niagara Falls, N.

The citation at Notre Dame praised him as “the Archbishop of the Working Man,” noting that he earned this title be cause of "inexhaustible aposto lic vigor to the strengthening of the Christian world.” ON THAT trip, the new Pope also visited New York, Chica go, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington. He was accompan ied by Frank Folsom, a promi nent Catholic layman who is chairman of the executive board of the board of directors of RCA. The only other public cere mony in which the Pope parti cipated in 1960 was the dedi cation in Boston of a huge sta tue of “Madonna, Queen of the Universe” at the Don Orione Shrine. Earlier, on March 30, 1959, he had sent to Richard Cardi nal Cushing, Archbishop of Bos ton, a relic of the True Cross. The relic was placed inside the cross he helped dedicate in 1960. On his first trip, the new Pope attracted little attention. HE SHOWED a great appetite to see North America, acting like a typical tourist, stopping his car to get out and see the sights, eating at roadside res taurants and mingling quietly with crowds of Canadians aid Americans. While in Canada, he visited the Shrines of Ste. Anne and Cap de la Madeleine, Ottawa, Kingston and Toronto. One of his stops was at a jamboree of 3,000 Boy Scouts at Van- dreuil near Quebec.
