When several months ago a committee of priests approached the Bishop with well laid plans for an elab- orate celebration, His Excellency made known his wishes that any- thing of a public or formal char- acter be omitted and that instead, both priests and people offer, privately, prayers to thank God for the blessings of the years. Our Most Revered Bishop was ordained in the Basilica of st. John Laternn, the Cathedral of Rome, Sept. 19, 1914, and read his first Mass on the Tomb of St. Peter the following day. He was appointed first Bishop of San Diego by the late Pope Pius XI, on Oct. 31, 1936. The Bishop, assisted by Dioces- an clergy, will chant a Solemn Pop.tifical Mass of Thanksgiving next Tuesday morning at 11: 00 a.m. There will be no sermon. A clerical choir under the direction of the Very Rev. Francis c. Ott, V.F. , will sing the Gregorian Mass of the Angels. No formal invitations have been issued but all are welcome to the church ceremony,
