Description:
Pope John Paul II celebrated a spectacular mass on Boston Common On October 1 1979, an unforgettable day.
For those who braved crowds and a heavy autumn downpour, it remains a shimmering moment in time, a bright memory of a historic event. The Oct. 1, 1979, visit to Boston of Pope John Paul II occurred less than a year into his pontificate and at the height of his popularity. The Holy Father to New England's large Catholic community received a tumultuous welcome.
The papal liturgy was the highlight of the pontiff's Boston visit, his first stop on a seven-day, six-city US tour, following a three-day pilgrimage to Ireland. It was a remarkable event in the city's history. Not only was Boston host to the leader of Roman Catholicism, the city welcomed the entire church hierarchy of the United States and Canada, 200 leaders of Orthodox and Protestant denominations, and Rosalynn Carter, wife of President Jimmy Carter, who offered the nation's greetings after the pope landed at Logan International Airport and kissed American soil at 3:02 p.m.
The security and logistical planning were extraordinary. From Logan, the papal motorcade drove through Boston neighborhoods on streets often lined several deep with spectators and signs, first to the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in the South End, where 2,000 priests at-tended a prayer service; then to the Common; and finally to the archdiocesan chancery in Brighton, where the pontiff dined and spent the night at the stately granite residence of Cardinal Humberto S. Medeiros.
