Formal Entry Impressive
Meanwhile, Monsignor Michael ]. La
velle, rector Of the cathedral, had
waited at the door formally to greet the
new archbishop. Bearing the crozier,
symbol of his Office; wearing upon his
head the mitre of white and gold and
clad in his other episcopal vestments,
Archbishop Hayes moved slowly up the
aisle, bestowing his blessing upon the
faithful to either side. Directly be-
fore him, as one of the prerogatives of
his Office, was borne the professional
arch-episcopal cross, with two hori-
zontal bars instead of one. He was ac-
companied by his deacons of honor,
Monsignori Mooney. Mclean and Flood,
and Fathers Joseph F. Smith and Cor
nelius Crowley. Papal Knights of ST.
Gregory and members of the lay com
mittee followed the archbishop.
Apostolic Delegate Bonzano was
similarly escorted up the aisle. He
wore the ermine cappa magma of an
archbishop, with which Archbishop
Hayes was soon to be invested.
The Pope's appointment of Arch
bishop Hayes, received by cable and
certified TO by Archbishop Bonzano,
was read from the altar in the original
Latin and in English. The new metro
politan knelt, chanted prayers and was
then led to the arch-episcopal throne
by Apostolic Delegate Bonzano.
Invested with Cappa Magma
The two archbishops stood facing
each other on the steps of the throne
and exchanged the kiss of peace and
then the Pope's representative crossed
the sanctuary and seated himself upon
4 throne opposite. Archbishop Hayes
was divested Of his episcopal vest
ments, invested with the cappa magma
and he then bestowed his benediction
Upon the congregation.
Archbishop Bonzano arose and ad-
dressed Archbishop Hayes. He paid
! tribute to the memory Of Cardinal
Harley, remarking that it was signih-
ant the Holy See had confirmed the
ardinal's choice of an auxiliary by
aaming him as his successor.
The papal delegate said:
Archbishop Hayes begins his ad-
ninistration at moment that is crit
cal for America and for all mankind.
