The Quiver Is Full Enough

Ups and Downs

•

With 15 new Monsignors and 55 new Knights and Ladies of the Holy Sepulchre, the honors and recogniti on pe r- meating this diocese in recent weeks makes a very f~l quiver. I could not possibly hope to deal adequately with each, so a subjective selection is the only way out. We are all human e nough to fi nd recognit ion of achievement a fu lfilli ng

La Jolla, which still has retired Msgr. Joseph Clarkin among its citizens, now includes two more elevated priests - pastors of both churches there - Msgr . J ames Gil- fillan , who has the church in " downtown" La Jolla, and Msgr. Edward Creighton, who has the one on top of Mount Soledad. There was one " rector" among the pastors elevated. Msgr. Anthony Giesing is rector, because the Cathedral is his bailiwick and the Bishop has the Cathedral as his of- ficial seat, of course. Such are the subtleties of church designation. Incidentally, all the new monsignors have the honorific of Rev. Msgr. No longer do we have the Rt. Rev. or the Very Rev . as distinguishing and confusing prefixes. Two Doctors in the House Among the new nobles of the Holy Sepulchre are the two doctors Doyle, William and Anita. Though she is perhaps best known as Dr. Anita Fi uere , an a lumna of the Sacred Heart an ac 1ve as a member of the board of the women 's part of USD. There's always a doctor in their house - two, in ta'ct. And a man very much conce rned with communications around here whose talents have been recognized by his investiture into the Knights is William Quirk, whose position as vice president and general manager of the Pacific Telephone Company puts him at everyone's demand. Bill Quirk and his wife Josephine live at Rancho Santa Fe and are prominent in all community activities. -.Not far away are their n · bors, the Be nard Mehrens, also m Rancno ~anta e, w ose generos1 y o rn:iny Catholic causes Is well known, among which is a family remembrance in laboratory equipment in USD 1 and in many churches in the diocese. One of the nation's busiest men and one who commutes from company to company is new Knight of the Holy Sepulchre James R. Kerr, president of Avco, an orga n- iza_tion which must be among the b iggest in the na tion . I need really say no more except that his wife Coleen is an active parish member in La Jolla where she stays while he r husband is crossing the nation from co ast to coast on his multitudinous business ventures. It's That Name Again I somehow wish I 'd never written about Dolans and Nolans. The letters still come in. Someone signing them- selves " A sympathetic parishioner" writes from Palm Springs to say I left one out, namely, " Father Michael Nolan who has been slaving away in our diocese for 23 years and more than deserves the distinction of being in- volved in the confusion," says my correspondent. I am happy to make confusion complete, but if my " sympathetic parishioner" from the desert would read my first piece again it would be seen I was referring only to the namesakes and name-likes on the Alcal a Park campus. There is a link, however, in that Father Neal Dolan was assistant to Father Michael Nolan for three years in the desert parish. That really must have been confusing. Fowever, there is relief at last - Father Michael Nolan is now one of the new monsignors. Altar Boy Makes Good In these days when altar boys are not quite so necessary, I sometimes wonder where our future priests will come from. Typical of the success story called "from altar boy to monsignor" is new Msgr. Rudolph Galindo, pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in San Bernardino. ·Not only has he traveled that route , but he became a monsignor in the same list as the priest for horn he once served Mass, Msgr. Daniel O'Donoghue, the kindly Irish- man who rules over the domain of St. Mary Magdalene in Clairemont, San Diego. _ Msgr. "Dan" puts on a fi ne show of being a stern and sometimes hard nut to crack. But, believe me, 'neath

Msgr. O'Donoghue, Bishop, Former Altar Boy that heavy jowl and solemn face there lies a warm, sen- timental heart that is abundant in charity towards others .. stories that cannot now be told. Newspapers and Executives My old friend and former colleague on the San Diego Union, Milford Chipp and his wife Rosanne became member s of the noble order Sunday, too. Mil, as he is known, reigns over the editorial direction of the Copley newspapers in San Diego . It was good to see Dr. and Mrs. Harry Collins, friends and fellow parishioners at the investiture, and the man who is intimately connected with building so much church proper ty in San Diego, Lambert J . Ninteman. He can keep you regaled for hours on stories of Bishop Charles Buddy and his ideas on building and construction. Makes your hair stand a little on end. Up at Redlands a few weeks ago I was talking with Father Henry Keane, not to be confused with Father Patrick Keane at Colton. Little did I know that the very next day he would become a monsignor - Henry, not Patrick. Redlands prelate other pastors find . Are the fall aways now returning, a fte r the initial shocks of liturgic al a nd othe r cha nges? Way Out East Not quite the farthest east of our parishes, we find the new Msgr. Lu is Bald e r as, self-effacing kindly pastor whoseMexican-American background finds itself so much at home in that borde r pa rish of Calexico's Our Lady of Guadalupe. Msgr. Mark Doran is director of the growing apostolate of the Catholic Family Service with all its problems, while Msgr . Patrick O'Dowd has the distinction of having been at two of our Blessed Sacrament parishes - the one in Twentynine Palms and his present one in San Diego. Another product of Ireland, as are most of the new 1 monsignors, is Msgr Thomas Moloney, who first served in England before coming to San Diego, and now is pastor at Our La dy of Grace. Even the one chaplain, Msgr Thomas McDermott, is Irish . Msgr. Keane has been at Redlands long enough to be settled in a parish which he has watched grow over th e ye an, and where the slight drop which took place a few years ago in attendance has now lev- ele d off and is beginning to climb again. It would be inte resting to know what

and satisfactory state of af- fairs. And presumably to become the recipient of one of the Church's titles is just such an occasion. Maybe, for Buzzie Bavasi, it will help his Padr es to swing a little more accu- rately a nd not lose so many games by one r un. Buzzie, my frie ndly fel- low parishioner at All Hallows, was also named as co-chai rman wit h his charming wife Elizabeth of t he 1970 Christmas Seal campaign in Sa n Diego and Imper ial Counties.

Padres Knight He's been in professional baseball since 1939 - before many of his pres ent team were born. He is also on the Bishop's new board to help run the affairs of Boys Town of the Desert a t Beaumont. Bringing Light to Bear e 's arenee ~tep,-,--a-n<>W Knight- of the oly Sepulchre, wit"li' his w1 e Frances. He took over the floodlighting from the old Chicago Exposition, way back and subsequently made a big busi ness in floodlighting, from stadiums to homes. The result has been an enterprise which has been generous to Catholic charities in Chicago and elsewhere, including the Un iversit of San Die o whe re he plays a big part in the e i erat10ns o t e oa rd . The Steber Educational Development Center is a result of his generosity, and he is firmly wedded to helping the expanding university under its new, unified form. Cha~e From Sun City It was the new Msgr. Sean Murray who pointed out to me at lunch the other day what a "different" parish Sun City is. He s tarted it. Now he is at St. Michael's in San Diego . "At Sun City you have no worries like CCD or schools. And you can have meetings during the daytime because all your parishioners are retired and have all day to spare. " But here at St. Michael's we have all the usual worries of a pastor, from CCD to parochial school. And parents are too busy to meet during the day, so all your meetings are at night," he sa id . He wasn't complaining, only commenting on the dif- ference. The lunch, with the ladies of the Diocesan Council of Ca tholic Women, South Bay Deanery, was calorific and · ame Is Elegance Of course, the one odd man out in the monsignors, in the best possible way , is Msgr. John R Pprtman,1 the only one who is at USD . With elegance of style and diction, Msgr. Portman homilizes (if there be such a word ) to seminarians and students on campus and heads the religious studies department. He has been Very Rev . for some time as chairman of the diocesan ecumenical commission. An ,i:x-USD priest, now pastor at St. James in Solana Beacli is Ms;- William S~ain who built the parish of St. Mark in Sanarcos. Badon tfie early sixties, Msgr. Spain was on the fund-raising side of the university's operations. His mother Mrs . Hose D. Spain of San Bernardino, be- came one of the new Ladies of the Holy Sepulchre at Sun ay's investiture. pleasant. :Middle
