Fourteen THE BOSTON DAILY GLOBE TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1948 Boston Pilgrims Recall Personal Contacts With Late Pope Pius By WILLIAM S. AIXAHAX people of Italy have already elevated that beloved sovereign Pontiff of the Catholic church to sainthood in their own minds. Bishop John Wright of Boston pointed out to Pilgrimage members on the ROME. Aug. 31 Although canonical and theological processes are necessary before it possible to hail the late Pope Pius as a saint, the old Cleveland pilgrim, returning to Lourdes for the second time In 52 years, recall the having had two audiences with the then Pontiff; 'He was heavenly I was simply awe struck," she said today in recollection.

The church chain of events leading up to the possible canonization of Pius may take 25 years. His death in 1914 was hastened by the outbreak of World War I. He had no desire to succeed to the Papal throne and even bought a two-way transportation ticket when leaving Venice to participate the conclave of Cardinals. After the election he gave the unused return ticket to a member of a Scandinavian royal family as a souvenir. Papa Santo! to Italian Bishop Ryan continued.

"Those were the days of long hours and hard labor and the Italian immigrant was threatened with exploitation by ill-advised employers seeking low paid laborers. "Pius had two desires, one was to encourage parish priests 4o preach simple homilies at Sunday masses based on the Gospel; the other to see that children received adequate instruction in the church catechism "It was Pius who 're-introduced the then abandoned practice of allowing little tots to receive their first Holy Communion. In those days befor he put out a directive, a child would be 13 or 14 before its initial reception of the Blessed Sacrament. Today youngsters of seven kneel at the altar rail to receive." Mrs. Frederick Schmoldt, 71-year- second of a five day stay in the Eternal City today.

Bishop Wright said, "with the directness of popular affection have long since accomplished the venerated Pope's 'unofficial canonization' by the simple means of changing one letter in his family name, so that Papa Sarto (Pius! family name was Sarto) is universally called by his countrymen Papa Santo: the Pope Saint."
