THE POPE
JUBILEE OF FIRST MASS. RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES ARRANGED. London, December 21. The Rome correspondent of The Times states that Pius XI celebrated at St. Peter’s the commencement of the jubilee of his first Mass which was served at the Church of San Carlo in 1879. Eleven cardinals, several bishops and priests, and the Vatican Diplomatic Corps made a small pilgrimage from Lombardy, the Pope’s natal province, to attend. Pius XI ascended the Papal Chair to the triumphal march of silver trumpets and served Low Mass while ecclesiastical students sang hymns. He also administered Communion to 120 children. Subsequently he opened the Vatican Library, also the Belvedere Courtyard which was recently renovated. Many religious ceremonies are to follow. Rome gives the Pope a throne for installation in the Sistine Chapel.—Times Cable.
