Father Dennis was selected by Sister Ann Louise, OP to be Pope on in October 1955 at the annual parish Mission Sunday event at Saint Teresa of the Little Flower Church in Woodside, Queens. You can see he is surrounded by a Bishop, a Cardinal, a Monsignor, a Priest, a Swiss Guard, an Altar Server, a First Communicant, and yes even the Blessed Mother came for this one! He is also being carried around the neighborhood by the 8th grade boys in the same way Popes were carried before there were PopeMobiles (you'll see the front of a 1953 Chevy on the far right). And then Father met the Pope 50 years later in 2005 at the last private audience Pope John Paul II had.
