Holy Mass was celebrated by the Rev. Joseph Gluchowski, C. R., in the presence of the Bishop and a number of Polish speaking priests, two of whom assist the Bishop in his Curia. · Bishop Preaches The event was high-lighted by the Most Reverend Bishop's ser- ll'lon. In plain-spoken language His Excellency brought to light Poland's adamant refusal against odds to compromise truth in the face of a foe threatening her deeply Catholic culture and free- dom. After the services in the cath- edral, the delegation and all guests lunched at the EI Cortez hotel, where again His Holiness stressed the conviction that "just as Our Lord's crucifixion was fol- lowed by His resurrection so too, --Poland shall see a:dothe; Spring of resurrection."
