There are six horizontal stripes of the Borrnmeo court of arms, St. Charles Borromeo being Bishop Buddy's baptismal patron. A gold lion on a green background rep.re- sents the arms of the Farrell fam1lY, to which the bishop's mother be- longed. The crest also contains an olia, or stewpot, the symbol_ of. San Diego (Saint Didicus) to md1cate his boundless charity, and three nails in memory of the Christ. The new bishop's motto is "In Consilio Sanctorum" (in the Assem·- bly of the Saints) and is taken froi:i the Scripture verse, "God, who JS glorified in the assembly of the Saints." Born on Feast Day. Bishop Buddy comes from the diocese of st. Joseph, in the prov- ince of St. Louis. He was born on the feast of St. Francis of Assisi. The diocese of San Diego is in the prov;nce of Los Angeles. Hence the appropriateness of the motto. . At the close of the consecration service, Bishop Buddy bestowed _his blessing upon the assemblage, first upon .the clergy, then upon his rela- tives and lastly upon the congrega- tion. The consecration was followed by a dinner in the crystal room of Hotel Robidoux at which Bishop Buddy was ho~t to the visiting clergymen. _____ .., ____
