Investiture

Kaišiadorys, Lithuania, about 1926. In 1926, the Pope appointed Juozapas Kukta as the first bishop of the newly created Diocese of Kaišiadorys. My Dad's older cousin, Henry, and his wife, Suzanne, lived in that vicinity. They—or their Parents—must have been friends of the Bishop because this snapshot landed in their small family album.

 

Thanks to Henry and Suzanne's Granddaughter—my Kaunas Cousin—for making this photo available to us.
