Historic Paul VI chalice given to Mundelein
To thank him for saving his life in Manilla in 1970, Pope Paul VI gifted Chicago native Archbishop Paul Marcinkus with a chalice. That chalice is now in the collection of Mundelein Seminary.
Bishop George Rassas and Father Brad Zamora examine a chalice that belonged to Archbishop Paul Marcinkus and was given to the seminary by the Sisters of St. Casimir. Archbishop Marcinkus was a Cicero native and seminary graduate but was best known for his tenure as President of the Vatican Bank from 1971 to 1989. In 1970, Marcinkus overpowered an attacker armed with a knife who lunged at Pope Paul VI at the Manila Airport, during a papal visit to the Philippines. (Karen Callaway/Chicago Catholic)
