Pope Paul VI lays his hand on the head of a Congolese girl, as he confirms her during a solemn ceremony in the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, Feb. 26, 1965, in Rome. The pontiff also baptized and gave the Holy Communion to the girl and to eleven other Congolese converts. The ceremony took place during a memorial service in the Basilica, for Roman Catholic missionaries killed in the Congo and elsewhere in recent years. (AP Photo)
