VATICAN CITY, APR 19, 1999 (VIS) - Made public today was a Latin-language letter from Pope John Paul to Cardinal Hyacinthe Thiandoum, archbishop of Dakar, Senegal, upon the celebration yesterday of the 50th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. The letter was dated February 24, the same day on which Cardinal Thiandoum was ordained a bishop in 1962.
