■ SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Some
gifts are gold, some are gaudy and
Bme Pope John Paul II will never
Be.
■ Texas bishops will decide this
Beek what the official gifts for the
pope will be, but worshippers from
Bross the state already have sent in a
\qumo's pen ftriety of gifts for the pope, who will
election candHe in San Antonio on Sept. 13.
M * 1 PP“*lB 7 he gifts sit on a rollaway cart in a
Bnall room in the Catholic Chancery
Bid each night, archdiocese archivist
Bdward Loch puts them into a vault.
I “Some are nice, but some are
»udy,” Loch said. “Some of these
tmings I wouldn’t buy. They’re what
By mother called dust-catchers,
Bings that she didn’t want around
Be house.
I “But I guess it’s just a matter of
Bste.”
I The gifts include a 24-karat gold
Ing donated by a local jeweler.
I Its design is similar to the altar
from which the pope will celebrate
Bass. Other well-wishers have sent
■ a foot-high madonna, photo
graphs and paintings of the Alamo,
a book on the Soviet Union, a mag
azine on Texas, self-portraits, poems
and other paintings.
Also included is a set of cattle
horns, a gift from the Sisters of the
Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacra-

a tree blooming from within a map
of Texas.

“Some are nice, but some are gaudy. Some of these
things I wouldn’t buy. They’re what my mother called
dust-catchers, things that she didn’t want around the
house.”
— Edward Loch, archdiocese archivist
'ad
lelc
ment in Victoria. The centerpiece is
padded and embroidered with the
words “In my name shall his horn be
exalted” and “From Texas With
Love.”
Sister Perpetua Hawes of Victoria,
said, “Our sisters wanted to give the
Holy Father something that was
uniquely Texan and we thought
these horns would be appropriate.”
A quilt, which will adorn the
Lettering around the map says
“The Early Builders of Texas Cul
ture.”
The Czech-American nun died in
July at the age of 90.
“This preoccupied her time dur
ing the last months of her life,” Sis
ter Hawes said. “Sister was a histo
rian and she prided herself on her
knowledge of Texas history. She
prided herself on her ability to show
others how all these people blended
to make it a great state.”
Perhaps the most talked-about
Texas gifts — a pair of $4,000 boots,
an $800 belt buckle and $1,000 cow
boy hat — still continue to attract the
curious.
Jimmy Villareal, a bootmaker
whose family owns Economy Boot
and Shoe Repair, said the papal
boots at his shop have attracted new
customers.
“We have people who come in
here and they think this is already
part of him,” Villareal said. “People
come in here and say prayers in
front of it.
“They do the sign of the cross and
they want to touch it, but it’s in a
glass case.
“It’s like he’s already owned them
or he’s been in them.”
Archbishop Patrick Flores is
scheduled to give the ruby-studded,
24-karat gold-decorated boots to the
pope sometime during his visit, pos
sibly during a lunch with Texas bish
ops.
