Han- ley, formerly assistant at Holy Rosary church in San Bernardino, was appointed during the past week to or- ganize a new parish at Ramona, California, some 40 miles north- east of San Diego. Father Hanley found an en- thusiastic people to welcome his arrival. For the past six months His Excellency, the Most Rever- end Bishop, has held conferences with groups of Catholics in and near Ramonia relative to estab- lishing a Catholic center there. The Woman's Club (non-sectar- ian) of Ramona generously offer- ed their club rooms until a church edifice could be built. Different parcels of land have been considered and the Catholics of this thriving community have already shown a spirit of coopera- tion. Pending the appointment of their pastor to thoroug-.c1Iy investi- gate the most suitable location, no ground has as yet been selected for the compound. Father Hanley will acquire a residence in Ramona and imme- diately start the construction of a church. Heretofore the Franciscan Fathers in charge of the Indian missions have offered Mass in Ra- mona on Sundays and have organ- ized a convert class there. A commission of neighboring pastors has been formed to de- I termine boundary lines for the new parish, which will enjoy a wide area of several hundred square miles. Ramona has grown \ The Rev.

Of general interest among the many messages of congratulations received by the Most Reverend Bishop are the following: Cabrillo Council, Knights of Col- umbus, sent His Excellency this message: RESOLUTION Adopted by Knights of Columbus, Cabrillo Colll!.cil No. 2891 At a regular meeting of Knights of Columbus, Cabrillo Council No. 2891, held on January 17, 1947, the following resolution was adopted: "RESOLVED, That February 5, 1947, marks the tenth anniversary of the elevation of His Excellency,

Temple Beth Israel \ Signed by Rabbi Morton J. Cohn and Mr. Nathan F. Baranov, presi- dent of Temple Beth Israel, the I following telegram was received by the Most Reverend Bishop: "The Members of Temple Beth Israel offer warm congratulations on the tenth anniversary of your installation. Your consecrated leadership has elevated the relig- ious life of our entire community and made for brotherhood among men of all creeds. May you be spared for many more years of de- voted service to the glory of God and the welfare of humanity."

BRAWLEY HOSPITAL COMMITTEE PRAISED AS PLANS DEVELOP BRAWLEY-Preceding his ad- dress to the Knights of Columbus here, the Most Reverend Bishop met with a group of citizens to form a special committee to fur• ther the erection of a hospital in or near Brawley. Reports of the committee show that lawyers have been employed to check state and federal laws governing h o s p i t a 1s. It was brought out that according to fed- eral regulations, the Valley district of more than 60,000 people is en- titled to government subsidy, es- pecially in view of the urgent needs of a completely equipped hospital, In advising the committee, the Most Reverend Bishop made it clear that he did not approve of attempting to sail under false col- ors. The hospital would be definite- ly a Catholic institution, pursuing Catholic ideals and observing mi• nutely Catholic ethics. The San Diego Ordinary mad~ it clear to the committee that the Church would have no part in a hospital unless it had complete control of its management and its ethical policy. His Excellency expressed deep satisfaction and commended the committee for their serious ef• forts and interest in the project, Plans have been laid out and the intricate problems of the under• taking are under careful research. The Most Reverend Bishop has provided for the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth to staff the hospital. This religious order also are in charge of St. Mary's hospital in Chicago. Measures have already been adopted by the lay committee for the complete financing of the in• stitution so that when the Sisters take charge they will be free from the problem of finances.

Begin Building Addition to San Ysidro Academy Construction has begun on an addition to San Ysidro academy, which is expected to bring relief for the overcrowded conditions there, according to Sister Rosa- mond, Mother Superior of the in- stitution. The several thousand dollar pro- ject, which is scheduled to be com- pleted by September, will include the building of two additional classrooms, a cafeteria and a meeting place for the Catholic Boy Scout troq,p. The new buildings will be joined with the present academy struc- ture by archways to form a quad- rangular structure. Enrolled at the academy are nearly 350 children in the first eight grades. Last year 100 child- ren were turned away because of lack of classroom facilities but with the added two rooms now as- sured, and possibilities of more next year, Sister Rosamond, Moth- er Superior, is looking forward to being able to extend the educa- tional program for ninth and tenth grade work. The academy now has a new movie projector, for use il). visual education projects, and a new elec- tric refrigerator has also been pur- chased for the cafeteria. Further progress is also being made on the practice :field for the academy football team. Grading operations have already started < and two large palm trees have < been removed from the field.
