Boston auxiliary"bishop dies BOSTON (CNS) - Retired Bishop John J. Mulcahy of Boston, 71, died April 26 in Salem Hospital after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage April 23. He had been in failing health with kidney disease for several years. In 1992, Pope John Paulll accepted his resignation as auxiliary bishop. Boston Cardinal Bernard F. Law celebrated the funeral Mass April 29 at Holy Cross Cathedral. "J ohn was always a mild-spoken gentleman who enjoyed people and loved sports," said Msgr. William Glynn, pastor of Holy Family parish in suburban Duxbury, who was in the same ordination class. "I don't think he ever had an enemy in the world." Ordained in 1947 in Holy Cross Cathedral, Boston, by then-Archbishop Richard J. Cushing, the bishop served for 15 years as associate pastor in two suburban Boston parishes. In 1962, he entered seminary work for II years, first as spiritual director of Cardinal O'Connell Minor Seminary, Jamaica Plain,
then as rector of Pope John XX III National Seminary, Weston. He was pastor of St. Mary parish in Lynn from 1973 to 1975, at which time he was appointed bishop. "John was all priest. He's been a wonderful friend since we were curates together in the '50s," said retired Bishop Joseph F. Maguire of Springfield. "He was always such a deeply spiritual fellow and yet so thoroughly human. I'll really miss him."
praye~BOX Our Lady of Brezje Mary, help of Christians, you show us how to be Christian, how to "hear the word of God and keep it" (Lk 11 :28). Help us to respond to God as you did, that his power work in us, that the Spirit form Christ in us, and that his mind, his heart, his will be ours. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

first recipient of what is intended to be an annual award for interreligious understanding presented by a new foundation honoring the late Rabbi Marc M. Tanenbaum. The award was presented before more than 1,000 people at the New York synagogue, where Rabbi Tanenbaum was affiliated. At the same event, New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, a Catholic, discussed his view of the relation of faith and politics in what was billed as the first annual Tanenbaum Memorial Lecture. Former CBS news anchor Walter Cronkite was master of ceremonies.

Continued from Page One tors replaced the head of the bone, where it fits into the hip, with a metal prosthesis. Navarro-Valls said the fall was a common mishap and he ruled out fainting or dizziness as the cause. Doctors said they did not plan any further medical tests on the pope, who is expected to make a full recovery. According to members of Gemelli's medical team, the pope would wait about 10 days before taking his first steps - being careful not to put too much weight on the right leg. He was to use a walker at first, then crutches and laoler a cane. The point at which a cane becomes unecessary depends on the individual, but doctors are optimistic about Pope John Paul's recuperative powers. "I n July he can go to the mountains and walk, but he certainly cannot ski. It would be good if he did some swimming instead, because the prosthesis needs muscle tone in order to function," said Dr. Gianfranco Fineschi, who performed the surgery. Fineschi said the operation had gone "more perfectly than one could imagine." The bone head was replaced with a long-life part as opposed to a cemented replacement that lasts only 10 years, and is routinely used in patients' over age 80. The pope has missed the final week of the African synod and will - miss a meeting of the world's cardinals May 9-10, unless it is rescheduled. The pope also had to postpone a trip to Belgium in mid-May. Cardinal Godfried Danneels of Brussels, Belgium, told Vatican Radio that the trip and the beatification of Father Damien de Veuster would be rescheduled, possibly for September. In the noon blessing broadcast by Vatican Radio May I, the pope seemed to take his latest health setback in stride. Commenting on the May I European celebration of Labor Day, he said he was praying for the many unemployed in a period of worldwide economic difficulty. He also thanked those who remembered him with messages and prayers. The Vatican said hundreds oftelegrams, phone calls and flowers had arrived at the hospital from religious leaders, heads of state and individuals.
