July, 1976 fHE EIGHTH TRIBE Page 7 Pilgrimage to Mindszenty’s Burial Place at Mariazell The pilgrimage to Mariazell was scheduled for May 15 and 16, coinciding with the first anniversary of Mindszenty’s death. It is of interest to note that this date was also the 300th birth date of Ferenc Rákóczi II, the first distinguished Hungarian in exile, and it also coincides with the 20th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Freedom Revolt. The tombstone at Mariazell, which was contracted for by the Mindszenty Foundation, had been completed by the time of the pilgrimage. József Széplaki: With faith from his soul he reached out, to hold and to embrace The Eighth Tribe. In purple and armor sullenly determined unpliant like the steel, unbending but snapping! * # # Translated by Dr. György Bistey. ☆ ☆ AMERICAN HUNGARIAN FOUNDATION RECEIVES GRANT MINDSZENTY In purple and armor sullenly determined, unpliant like the steel unbending but snapping. Vi itli deptli and with faith disappointed but with love he prayed Lord forgive them ... ... for they know not what they are doing! Patriotism and profession, a broken life, still he bravely carried the steel crucifix. From America to Canada From Africa to Australia he spread the Word: Love! Love! Love! I am happy to report that the Rockefeller Foundation has awarded our Foundation a grant of $15,000 which will aid in developing the Edmund Vasvary Collection — the foremost collection of material on Hungarian immigration in America since colonial days. Your dollars are needed now to further our scholarship and research programs. For example, a gift of $500 will pay for a half-semester scholarship for a student in Hungarian studies. Your gifts are needed to expand our educational and cultural programs, to maintain our museum and library collections and to support publications and research grants. Recently retired after eleven years of professional football with the New York Giants, and as one who was born in Hungary and reared in he United States, I was pleased and delighted to “kick-off” the 21st year fund drive. Our goal for 1976 is to raise $100,000. I hope you will join with the thousands who recognize the importance of the work of the Foundation. Gifts from $25 to $5,000 are needed. We need your special help. Your gift will make a difference.
