Letter from +Delargey to +McQuaid giving details of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations for +Liston. Annotated by +McQuaid.

21-23 July 1958 Correspondence between +Levame & +McQuaid stating that 1959 marks the 20th anniversary of the accession of the Holy Father to the Throne of Peter and also marks the Diamond Jubilee of his ordination. The Secretariat of State wishes these days to be acknowledged in the form of religious celebrations, with the recitation of the ‘Pro Pontifice nostro Pio’. The Nuncio suggests that a special ceremony be held in the Pro Cathedral on 2 March and on 2 April to hold a special Mass under the presidency of Cardinal D’Alton in a church in the centre of Ireland, which can be selected at a later date. +McQuaid states he will arrange the ceremony at the Pro Cathedral and will inform the Nuncio of other celebrations in the Diocese in due course.
