Willebrands said, then the Orthodox Churches of Bulgaria, Rumania and Yugoslavia might follow suit. He reported that the secretariat at the direction of its president, Augustin Cardinal Bea, S.J., first approached Patriarch Athenagoras in November, 1961. He said he then went to the Patriarch's Istanbul headquarters hoping that it could help him contact the Russian Orthodox. Patriarch Athenagoras ranks first in the whole Orthodox Church. Mgr. Willebrands also reported that he then established informal contacts with the Council of World Churches, a predominantly Protestant and Orthodox body, at its headquarters in had

that the Greek Orthodox
bishops are expected to reconsider their refusal to send observers in view of the fact that the Russian Orthodox Church has sent representatives to the council. ID Athens, it was announced that the Holy Synod of the Greek Orthodox Church was meeting to set a date for an assembly of all Greek Orthodox bishops to discuss the question of sending an observer to the council. Earlier, it had been announced that the synod

to the Middle East and visited the heads of the Coptic, Ethiopian, Armenian and Syrian Churches last April. He reported the first direct contact with the Russian Orthodox Church was made with Metropolitan Nicodemus, it representative at the Parish meeting of the Central committee of the World Council of Churches in August. At that time, he said, Metropolitan Nicodemus, who heads the international department of the Moscow patriarchate, asked him to go to Moscow to explain council preparations. The monsignor said he accepted and spent six days in the Soviet Union in late September and early October, visiting Moscow and Zagorsk.
An estimated 15,000 people took part while the onlookers were in some cases three to four deep on the route of the procession and massed on the banks of the main oval for the Benediction. Traffic u as one of the worst problems. Though the police and the parking marshals did an excellent job, the number of cars was far in excess of any other year. The procession had to be delayed while cars which had been held up were able to park. After the procession had started, members of various groups could be seen joining their sections on the way. Organisation for the procession went smoothly from assembly to dispersal, all the groups co-operating with the marshals. Practically all Religious
Orders in the Archdiocese and all Lay Societies and Sodalities were represented among the marchers. Religious habits and distinctive banners made a colourful display. First Communicants and Holy Angels marched again this year near to the Blessed Sacrament. The Blessed Sacrament was carried by Rt. Rev. Monsignor Kennedy, E. Vicar General and parish priest of St. Josephs, Subiaco. He was assisted by Rev. P. McCrann and C. OMalley as deacon and sub-deacon. The sermon was preached by the Very Rev. Father Alphonsus, 0.D.C., who developed the theme of the
Kingship of Christ demanding loyalty, tax and service from all His subjects. Father Alphonsus said that we were all made citizens of Christ's Kingdom by Baptism and that because of this we should give service and loyalty to Him. The preacher pointed out that the Moral Law should be the code in our life even though it was the fashion of the Twentieth Century to deny the Moral Law, claiming that it was out of harmony with modern living. Father Alphonsus said that Christ's law was immutable and that the true test of our allegiance was our obedience to it.
