Monsignor John F. McDonough, archdiocesan administrator, will cele brate the Mass. Rev. Viktoras Dabusis of St. Petersburg, FI. will give the homily. Sister Igne of the Immaculate Concep tion Sisters, Putnam, Conn. and Rev. Dabusis will give a presentation on the jubilee. The anniversary has received recent attention from Pope John Paul who was barred by Soviet authorities from visiting Lithuania for the celebra tion earlier this year. In an apostolic letter the pope urged the youth of Soviet Lithuania to “joyfully and trustfully” assume their Roman Catholic heritage. The Holy Father beatified Archbishop Jurgis Matul- aitis, a native Lithuanian who was trained and taught in Polish seminaries, at a June 28 Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica. Catholics of the archdio cese are invited to par ticipate in this celebration of Lithuanian’s conversion to Christianity and demonstrate their solidari ty with those who struggle today in that Baltic Sea country for human rights and religious freedom.
