The Consecration will be at the Ca- thedral, at the altar where Father Buddy, twenty-two years ago, started his career as the youngest priest in I the St. Joseph Diocese. Father Buddy returned last Friday 1 from Washington, where he paid his respects to the Papal Delegate of the United States, the Most Rev. Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, Titular Archbish- op of Laodicea. He discussed plans for the San Diego Diocese with the Papal Delegate. A number of priests who were stu- dents with Father Buddy at the North American College at Rome are coming here from all parts of the United States for the service. The Consecration will be the first in ·St. Joseph since May 1, 1928, when Bishop Francis Johannes was conse- crated at the Cathedral. Father Buddy will not leave for San Diego until about mid-January. He will be installed as Bishop of that dio- cese about Feb. 1 at a Church cere- mony.

the Most Rev. Charles F. Buddy, Bishop-elect of San Diego, has been set for Dec. 21, Feast of St. Thomas the Apostle. Many members of the Hierarchy have already indicated their intention to attend the solemn cere- monies. The Benedictine Monks of Conception Abbey have kindly ac- cepted the invitation of the Bishop- elect to take charge of the singing and music for the Consecration Mass. Archbishop John J. Cantwell of the newly created Archdiocese of Los An- geles has informed Father Buddy that he will come to St. Joseph for the Consecration. He will be Father Buddy's immediate superior in his new assignment. Archbishop John J. Glennon of the Archdiocese of St. Louis and several other Archbishops are expected to at- tend the Consecration service here, which, from present indications, will also be attended by about thirty Bish- ops, several Abbots and hundreds of priests.
