The Benedictine monks have had the leading part in the great work of restoring to their pristine form the marvelously rich and varied liturgical chants of the Catholic Church, which came into being in the early Middle Ages. The monks of Conception Abbey sing the.se chants daily at their conventuai mass and the cho..... 1 recitation of the Divine office in the abbey chu1·ch and a.re for this reason ideally fitted to render them with the fullness of their intrinsic ar- tistic beauty. Dom Gregory himself is not only a highly accomplished organist, but also a church musician of national eminence. He is the editor of The Caecilia., a monthly magazine de- voted to Catholic Church music, published in Boston, Mass., as well as a regular contributor to The E Catholic Choirmaster, the official c organ of the St. Gregory Society of s America. He will accompany the o Schola Cantorum at the organ and will play a number of organ volun- tari~s at various I points in the Special Numbers Arranged. Two musical numbers have been specially arranged for the solemn processional entrance of the clergy and prelates into the cathedral s preparatory to tte actual consecra- tion ceremony. Both numbers will i be for organ and a brass choir con- sisting of two trumpets, French s horn and trombone. The first, ?: titled "Fle.stive March,'' is by .A 1- :r,, phonse Ma.illy. one of the greatest Belgian organists of tbe nineteenth century. ', The second entrance number, in E an identical arrangement, is from I the pen of an eminent Benedictine c composer, Dom Dominic Wan- ., densshwyler of St. Benedict's Ab- bey, Mount Angel, Ore. Brother Stanislaus Thomas, O. S. B., instructor in instrumental music at Conception College, Is the at·ra.nger of both these numbers. The organ pa.rt will be played by Dom Gregory, assisted by four St. Joseph musicians, Frank C. Alum- baugh, Wilis C. Maupin, W. E. Rob- inson and Smith Turner, who will play first and second trumpet, French horn and trombone. The proper of the mass of the day, which is the Feast of St. Thomas Apostle, will be sung by the Schola Ca.ntorium. The "Kyric" and "Agnus Dei" of this mass are compositions of the tenth century, while the ''Gloria" and "Sanctus" are of thirteenth century origin. The "Credo'' will be No. III of the "Vatican K)•riale," a relatively n1od- crn chant composition in the fifth mode. Orders to Be Represented, service.

I' BISHO -ELECT 1 A CIVIC LEADER A word picture of San Diego's bi:hop-elect is reprint- ed from the St. Joseph Ne,vs-Press, in paragraphs gleaned from the editorial column, "Timely Observa- tions," as follows: The honor that comes to the Very Rev. Charles F. Buddy, bishop-designate of the newly created Catholic diocese of San Diego, will bring pleasure to the priest's many friends, and they number men and women of all creeds and of none. Father Buddy is what we all like to consider our ideal spiritual leader, a he-man '\\'1th the courage of his convictions who retreats not an inch where fundamentals of faith are concerned, yet withal so con- siderate, so thoughtful of the opinions.of others that his tenderness in dealing with those other creeds is one of his most striking characteristics. San Diego, will receive a civic leader when Bishop Charles F. Buddy assumes his bishopric, if the new pre- late follows the example he established as a St. Joseph priest. Notwithstanding his onerous duties at St. Jo- seph's Cathedral the priest found time to devote to civic affairs. His sponsorship of St. Vincent's cafeteria in the early days of the depression probably will be remembered in this city for many years to come. The priest never dis- closed the fact himself but it was known to a few that St. Vincent's cafeteria was made possible through the gen- erosity of his mother, Mrs. C. A. Buddy. She donated the building which housed the cafeteria. The civic activities of Father Buddy included work every year in the Community Chest, the Civic Music ·As- sociation and other groups. More recently he accepted appointment to the municipal board of health under Mayor Phil J. Welch, and has been a constructive force in the present administration.
