NATION/WORLD UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Thursday, October 5, 1995 7A Pope's first stop: Newark Residents there hope the pontiff will bring peace to poor barrio The Associated Press NEWARK, N.J. — Gazing up at the cathedral on a hill above his drug-plagued neighborhood, Carlos Zhaghay thought about the last time he saw the pope, in 1855, just before he left Ecuador in pursuit of his American dream. "Something very beautiful entered into me then that I haven't felt here at all," said Zhaghay as he awaited the pope's visit yesterday to Sacred Heart Cathedral, the start of a five-day U.S. tour. He and hundreds of other neighborhood residents and faithful from around the region gathered outside the magnificent hillside cathedral to glimpse the pope's motorcade. "He'll be preaching for peace, for the homeless and the poor," said neighbor Frances Downing. "These are his people." John Paul II left Rome yesterday morning for a trip that will include an address to the United Nations and outdoor Masses in New York, Newark, N.J. and Baltimore. Aboard his plane, he told reporters that it is "wonderful that all the ethnic groups live Pope's U.S. visit Pope John Paul II It is visiting New Jersey, New York, and Maryland beginning yesterday.

SOURCE: United States Catholic Conference New Jersey counties it serves. the diversity and charitable works of the Catholic Church are themes the archdiocese has stressed in its preparations for the pope's visit. Today, the pope is to address the United Nations General Assembly "To see him is something special. We know he is the only truth." The Newark Archdiocese, with 1.3 million Catholics, is among the most diverse in the country, with Mass celebrated in 14 languages at parishes both wealthy and indigent. Filipinos, Poles, Indians, Colombians, Chinese and Haitians are among recent immigrants who have moved into the four northeastern Patrick McKenna construction worker and staff, then return to New Jersey for an evening Mass before about 86,000 at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford. By midday yesterday, the Newark cathedral was surrounded by hundreds of police officers in full-length blue raincoats. Plainclothes agents with earphones patrolled the plaza in front of the cathedral. Inside, a children's choir tuned up for the evening service. Hundreds of the faithful maintained a soggy, but upbeat, vigil behind barricades on surrounding streets. They sang, played tambourines and hoisted banners nam ing their churches and welcoming the nontiff. Among them was Patrick McKenna, 37, a construction worker from Queens in New York City, who skipped work to see the pope. He came with his wife and five children, two of them in strollers. "I can talk about it, but to see him is something special. We know he is the only truth," McKenna said. Zhaghay, 28, said he was poor when he lived in Quito, Ecuador, but felt safe in the bosom of his family and church. Here, he's richer but more alone and afraid, and rarely thinks about God. Zhagayh, who lives a few blocks from the cathedral, said when he looks out his window, "I see people sticking needles in their arms." "I see 8-year-olds with cigarettes in their mouths. It's an ugly, frightening thing," he said. A majority of U.S. Catholics disagree with the church's positions on abortion, birth control and the ordination of married priests. But such issues were far from the minds of Zhaghay and Delgado, who simply wished for the pope's blessing. "I hope he brings us some peace and tranquility," chaghay said.
