As the puff of white smoke arose from the Sistine Chapel, the throng cried out in unison - Viva Il Papa. Once again, the Roman Catholic Church had chosen Her suc- cessor to St. Peter. The mourning for Pope Pius XII gave way to joy and gladness as Angelo Guiseppe Roncalli announced to the concourse, I have chosen John. Pope John XXIII has served the Church for more than half a century as author, teacher, diplomat, administrator missionary and pastor. The city of Berganio knew Roncalli as a vigorous, young, parish priest following his ordination in 1904. During the World War I, Father Ron- calli served first as a Sergeant in the Italian medical corps, then as a Chaplain. Following the war he combined his scholarly interests with a deep concern for the welfare of young people, and organized the first Student's House at Berganio. This provided free assistance to children of middle class families. He established the first school of Religion in the Berganio Teacher's College and established the first Cultural Conferences in the University of Berganio. Named president of the Italian Society for the Piopagation of the Faith in 1921, he centralized its work and gave it a new consititution. In 1925 he was named Titular Arch- bishop of Areopolis and Apostolic Visitor to Bulgaria and thus began his successful diplomatic career of nearly thirty years. His appointment as Papal Nuncio to France came in December 1944. He was elevated to the Sacred College of Cardinals in the consistory of January 12, 1953. His designa- tion as Patriarch of Venice arrived three days later, Angelo Guiseppe Roncalli chose John XXIII on October 1958 as the 262nd Pope of Rome. AO multos AIIHOSI
