Bishop Buddy has an opportun- ity to absorb folk lore of the earl- iest Americans, the Indians. for he has four Indian parishes as well as seven Mexican parishes. This historic atmosphere-in the land of the firsv Spanish padre.s to Christianize the Western shore of America-has invigorated the prelate spiritually and physically, and he is in excellent health dese- pite much traveling about his dio- cese. which contains 34,000 squar~ I miles. Last Sunday Bishop Budd,· dedicated a new Mexican cburcr. I at Uplands, Calif.. and he is con- s'.antly on the move throughout California, attending conference~ connected with his work.
