- Description
- On July 5, 1962, Vatican City issued three stamps to commemorate the centenary of the death of Pauline Jaricot (1799-1862), French foundress of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. The stamps reproduce a portrait of Pauline Jaricot that, at the issuance of the stamp, hung in the Great Hall of the Superior Council of the Pontifical Organization for the Propagation of the Faith in Rome. Pope John XXIII (1881-1963) commissioned the portrait in 1921, when, as Msgr. Angelo Roncalli, he headed the Italian branch of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.
- Marie-Pauline Jaricot was born at Lyons, France, on July 22, 1799. Even as a youngster, she was exceptionally pious. While still in her teens, she worked actively among her friends and fellow citizens to stimulate interest in missionary work. She remained actively interested in the missions throughout her life, and in 1822, she founded the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. Four years later, she founded the lesser-known Association of the Living Rosary. She died on January 9, 1862.
- Instituto Poligrafico dello Stato Italiano printed the stamps in panes of forty. They measure 30 x 40 mm and were printed by rotogravure on paper watermarked with the papal Crossed Keys design.
- Vatican Notes 11, no. 1 (July-August 1962): 5.
