Thousands of Americans flocked to Rome as Pope Paul VI prepares to declare John Nepomucene Neumann a saint, the United States first male saint. Vatican sources cite over 20,000 Americans expected in St. Peter's Square, with 10,000 already arrived by Friday including 5,000 Philadelphians led by Mayor Frank Rizzo and Cardinal Krol. Neumann, fourth Philadelphia bishop at his 1860 death, built churches and schools in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey after emigrating from what is now Slovakia in 1836. The ceremony concludes a long inquiry into his life, begun in 1886 by Archbishop Patrick Ryan. Previous American saints include Mother Cabrini and Mother Seton.
