| With all the beautiful ceremony OF
the Roman Catholic church, Bishop
James McGolrick blessed Calvar,
cemetery before 500 people last Sun
day afternoon. The service took placs
in the center of the cemetery shortly
after 4 o'clock. A little before that
hour number of priests, headed by
the bishop, formed at the group OF
statuary in the burial grounds and
marched through the main avenues.
Then the procession returned to the
statuary again, where the blessing
took place. Bishop McGolrick's
prayer was simple one. The bishop
also spoke at some length upon the
efficacy Of prayer and announced that
it had been decided to set aside a
day every fall, to be known as Gem
etery Day." throughout the diocese of
Duluth. The day will probably be the
iirst Sunday in September. All the
Catholic churches of the city were
represented at the cemetery, and
there was a large attendance at the
ceremonies. The pastor of each
church stood at the head of his flock
during the prayer and Rev. Father F.
Kosmerl addressed the members of
the German congregation in their ma
tive tongue. At the conclusion of the
| ceremonies the crowd fingered to dec
| crate graves or to rest on the grass
| which will SO soon lose it's wonderful
shade of green.
