f af her B. F. Ross Is Newly Appointed Secretary lo Bishop The Rev. B. Francis Ross, for- merly assistant at Our Lady of Guadalupe_ parish, Chino, was dur- ing the past week appointed secre- tary to His Excellency, the Most Reverend Bishop to succeed the Rev. Douglas A. Moore who held the position with distinction and efficiency for four years. Father Moore's failing health forced his resignation. This zeal- ous priest had made various trips to restore his health, and later when periods of weakness began to develop in both the morning and evening he was forced reluc- tantly to enter .a hospital for treat- ment. The Most Reverend Bishop a-nd the Chancery personnel have ex- pressed regrets to see Father Moore retire from the Curia staff. Father Ross brings to his new position a record of outstanding scholarship together with the val- uable experience of a country cur- acy. He automatically joins the Cathedral staff and will make his residence at the Cathedral rectory.
