Relic o·f Saint Andrew Returned To Orthodox -Metropolitan by Pope
The precious -relic of the head of St. Andrew, the Apostle, will be, returned to the
Orthodox. "God be praised!" exclaimed the Orthodox Patriarch of Patras, "I thank His Holiness Paul VI who, i,nspired by the Holy Spirit, has decided to restore the relic of St. Andrew. For five centuries the sacred skull has been preserved in the Vatican with respect to devotion."
Refugee_ Apostle Prayer Answered
Unity Concern Again Stressed
In a brief historical back ground, Vatican Radio outlined the events in. history that brought the precious relic of St. Andrew to the Petrine Basilica. Sacred Scripture tells us very little of the apostolate of St. Andrew. Ancient Christian tra dition does fix his area of work to Asia Minor, the Crimea, Southern Russia, Greece, Ithake, and Achaia. Tradition continues to tell us that after a fruitful ministry, the Apostle suffered martyrdom-by crucifixion on an "X" cross-at Patras on the western entrance of the Gulf of Corinth. We do know that the body of S1. Andrew remained in Patras until 356 when it was transport ed to Constantinople by the Emperor.

"We must help developing countries because our own wel. fare demands it," the executive director of Catholic Relief Serv. ices-National Catholic Welfare Conference told the 22nd annual Serra International convention here. "It takes no great gift of fore sight to realize that unless there is progress and unless there is growing satisfaction of just de sires, there will be discontent and there will be restlessness. The developing world would soon be a cauldron of Violence, hatred and revolution without some assistance." The prelate, who is Auxiliary Bishop of New York, said that in "the 112 or more nations ill our world, only six of them have an average income of as much as $80 a month - Sweden and Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand, Canada and the United States." He added that two. thirds of the world's people have an income of less than $8 a month.
