Thrice before had this French-born prelate visited North America as Superior General of the Order of Servants of Mary (Servite Fathers). Raised to the purple in 1927, Cardinal Lepicier was shortly made head of the Congregation of the Religious?the Vatican's ministry in charge of all Catholic nuns and brothers.
