Cardinal Dougherty announced that Albert M. Greenfield, well-known real estate broker and banker, had been honored by Pope Pius XI by having conferred upon him the order and title of Commander in the Order of Pius XI.
Mr. Greenfield is the first non-Catholic in Pennsylvania to be thus honored by the head of the Catholic Church. The award was given him by the Pope in recognition of Mr. Greenfield’s services to the Catholic Diocese of Pennsylvania.
The award was given to Cardinal Dougherty when he was in Rome during the course of his recent trip around the world, and was brought to this city by the Cardinal himself when he returned last week in company with Bishop O’Hara, who accompanied the Cardinal on his world tour. The title was bestowed upon Mr. Greenfield by the Cardinal yesterday.
Mr. Greenfield is a member of the Keneseth Israel Congregation. The list of his donations embraces many faiths.
