Catholic Standard we CLEAN the following:
Few events will remain more strongly
impressed upon the memory of the good
Catholics than those which took place in
st. Patrick's Church on Sunday, the Doth
nit, on the occasion of the installation of
the Rt. Rev. Bishop Shanahan. The cere-
monies were performed by Rt. Rev. VIM.
O'Hara, D. D., Bishop of Scranton, in strict
accordance with the ritual prescribed for
that solemn occasion. Shortly after ten
o'clock the procession moved from the
pastoral residence. Rev. DR.. O'Hara con-
Quoted the new bishop to his episcopal
throne, where the clergy of the diocese who
were present advanced and kissed his ring,
as sign of their respect for and obedience
to the one appointed to exercise the office
Of chief pastor over them. After the in
stallation, Rt. Rev. Bishop Shanahan vested
for Pontifical mass. After the Gospel had
been sung by the deacon, Rt. Rev. Bishop
O'Hara, having invoked the aid .of the
Holy Spirit, assembled the altar and deliv-
cred an eloquent and impressive sermon.
Before giving his solemn benediction the
bishop delivered very brief but truly
eloquent address. t.b
