Plan to Spur Vocations Underway Plans for selling up a fou r. year program for boy inte r- ested in the priesthood are be- ing formulated in connection with the Pre.seminary De pa rt- ment at Un ivers it y H ig h School recently e tablished by '.tost Rev. Franc1sJ. Furey, The director of the new d e- partme nt. ~'at her Pat rick J . O Kceffe, has completed visita lion of all parochial schools i n the city and co unty of Sa n Diego and . tates the new pro- gram has been e nthusiastica l- ly received by teacher·, stu• dent , and parents. With the cooperation of the pasto r , parents club and parish or- gamzation have had the pro- gram explained to them. Father O'Keeffe used as a ba is for talk . both to the children and their parents, the idea that if the boys "th ink, pray and inquire now a nd throughout their high school years , they will come to know of and preserve a vocation to the priesthood. if God so WJII ... It 1s hoped through special cour ·cs to acquaint those in the program with the life of a priest. as a teacher, counselor, d1spen er of the sacraments and the aviour of. ouls. They also ¼ill take the college preparatory course which every student takes at Uni- versity High, Periodic Afternoons of Re- collcctton will be planned throughout the year and the boys will be encouraged to take a more active part in their own parishes, serving .\fa,s and helping their pastors wherever needed. The boys also will take part in all phases of high school activity, academic, athletic. and social. Requests have been made to dioce ·an organizations for grants to help boys who are financially unable to enroll rn this program. Private dona- tions have been received with which a pre-seminary burse ha~ been established. With the . help of the Serra Club, a lay speakers committee will endeavor to acquaint Catho- lics with the dire need for vo- cations to the religious state. Plans are being made to use the Serra Club's films in the Parish Grade Schools and High Schools of Religion. If the response warra nts it, the program will be made avail- able on weekends for boys.

A Great Churchman

Charles Buddy wa s enthroned in th is same sanctuary as the first Bishop of Sa n Diego, he fashion ed his own epitaph. These a r e his very words: "In the mid st of all , our re- joicing this morning there must neither be misgivings nor fa lse notion s about the futu re. One thought stays with me: soone r or later the ring that now encircles thi s finger will encircle nothing but du st and as hes." Epitaph Verified Today this epitaph is veri- fi ed in our eyes. We commend hi s mortal remains to the kind earth;_ we present his memory to be ens hrined in the hearts of those who have known and loved him; that which is sym. bolized by hi s ring to see en- trusted to his successor, for he takes to wife this diocese as a man hi s brother's widow. His soul we commend to God. May he be united to his fellow-laborers and friends who have gone before him in the sign of faith a nd slee p the sleep of peace. To th em, O Lord, and to all those who rest in Christ we pray you to grant a place of refreshment, light and peace.

CARDINAL PRESIDES - His Eminence James Francis Cardinal McIn- tyre, Archbishop of Los Angeles, presided at the Solemn Pontifical Ma s of Requiem for Most Rev. Charles Francis Buddy, first Bishop

of San Diego, bffered by Most Rev. Francis J. Furey in St. Joseph's Cathedral last Friday. Some 20 Bishops from throughout the west and south attended, along with more than 400 priests.

Like the proverbial pebble cast into the center of the pool, all the content of it is affect- ed for weal or woe. Th e re is no shelter from its discontent, no diverting from its enduring love. Bishop Buddy was such a man , designed by nature and graced by God , to have been the center of the jurisdiction's movements for now thes e 30 • years. NoMan Justified What he is in th e s ight of God is not ours to j udge. In God's sight no man is justi- fied. The last farthing of our failures must be paid before we can enter into the joy of the Lord. It is for this inter- stice we plead r prayers and sing our requiems. On February 3, 1937, when
