Gal., accord- ing to word received here by John J, Goodl'ich. Bishop Buddy is the first bishop of the San Diego ' diocese and was appointed while !l serving as pastor of St. Joseph's i Cathedral here. The episcopal resi- dence is said to be one of the fin- " est homes in San Diego. Although Bishop Buddy had de- sired a less pretentious home, the > committee of priests and promi- nent Catholics who had interested them~elves in securing a permanent s episcopal residence considered r their selection to be an ideal dwelling suited to the dignity of • the position and one that would t serve many years. The propert~• was purchased from an insurance company at a price said to be about one-third of its actual value. The house has ocean frontage and is a block in , depth. The third floor is a recrea- tion room. Since moving to California. in February, Bishop Buddy has Jived in a home at Sunset Cliffs, which was found to be too far from the center of San Diego.
