Welcomed Cardinal Mindszenty Continued from page l.

John Szabó of South Bend, Ind., after which Cardinal Mindszenty circled the church sprinkling holy water on the edifice while reciting a “blessing.

School children formed a ring around the church during the ceremony.

Inside the church, the prelate celebrated Mass with the Rev. Julian Furzer, 58, the pastor, and single handedly served communion to 350 persons.

Seats in the church were reserved for elderly parishioners and dignitaries, including representatives of the Hungarian Protestant clergy and Ukrainian Ca t h o 1 i c Church.

Other guests watched on closedcircuit television in the church basement and school.

People in the streets listened to a loud speaker system.

For young and old, the cardinal’s visit

signified an event of great importance.

”His visit is a great honor and joy for the entire community, most particularly for that part of our citizenry with roots in Hungary,“ said new Brunswick Mayor Patricia Q. Sheehan. ’It’s a tremendous privilege and thrill for them for he not only is a priest, but a prince of the church.

Groups from all sections of New Jersey and several other states made up the crowd.

Forty members of the Cardinal Mindszenty Society, an organization dedicated to the preservation of Hungarian culture and customs, came by bus from Washington, D.C.

And a priest from Omaha, Neb., timed his two-week vacation to the visit.
