INDUCTED TO OFFICE
(Continued from page one)
' Elect with the ring and crozier and
tile final enthronement were some of
the outsanding features of the so
lemnities. The new Bishop made a
profession of his belief in the doc-
trines o fthe Church and took the
oath of his new office before the
consecrator'Bishop Chartrand.
In the sanctuary of the beautiful
Convent Church one of the finest
specimens of Italian Renaissance ar-
chitecture in the country and in the
nave of the Chapel were gathered
some of the highest dignitaries of the
Catholic Church in the Middle West.
The ceremonies were in charge of
the Rt. Rev. Joseph Chartrand Bi
shop of Indianapolis a very intimate
friend of the new Bishop. Bishop
Chartrand occupied the principal
throne i nthe sanctuary and celebrat-
ed the Consecration Mass together
with the Biahop*Elect at the same
altar. He was assisted throughout the
ceremony by Bishop Van de Van of
Alexandria Louisiana and Bishop
Lynch of Pallas Texas.
The eloquent sermon for the oc-
casion was preached by the Rt. Rev.
Mpns. Ffancis C. Kelley LL. D. of
Chicago president of the Catholic
Extension Society and one of the
ablest orators of the Church of Ame-j
rica. Bishop Ledvina has been asso-
ciated with Consignor Kelley in the
capacity of general secretary of the
same Society for the past fourteen
years.
About 300 dignitaries and members j
of the clergy were attracted to St.
Mary-of-the-Woods for the occasion.
The most distinguished among these
were the Most Rev. Archbishop
Gaorge Mundelein of Chicago the
Most Rev. Archbishop John Shaw of
Now Orleans La. and the Most Rev.
Albert Dacger O. F. M. Archbishop
of Santa Fe New Mexico. \

Preceding the service in the
church the long procession formed in
the corridors of Guerin Hall one of
the residence buildings of Saint
Mary-of-the-Woods College where
all the visiting prelates hnd clergy
were quartered. It was led by a
crossbearer ahd masters of ceremo
nies. In its ranks were a body of
Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus
in full dress uniforms followed by
representatives of the clergy both
; secular and religious from practic-
ally all parts of the country a nume
rous delegation coming from the
Diocese of Corpus Christi Texas.
The habits of the various reiigiou*
orders represented the surplices anti j
cassocks of the secular clergy the j
more gorgeous vestments of the pre |
lates and lastly the Bishops ami!
Archbishops with a number of little
boys for train bearers lent an air 1
of pieturesqueness to the procession
as it moved along the winding walks
and ami dthe oak groves and spacious
lawns of the college campus that
will not soon be forgotten by those
who witnessed its splendor.
A feature o fthe ceremony was the
singing of the Choir of SS. Peter and
Paul's Cathedral Indinapolis one of
the finest church choirs in the coun-
try. Their rendition o fthe different
parts o fthe Mass was the subject of
enthusiastic comment on ail sides.
Particularly interesting was the pro-
cessional “Ecce Sacerdos” composed
by Elmer Steffen Director of the
Choir and inscribed to the Rt Rev.
Joseph Chartrand. which was sung
for the first time at St. Mary of-the-
Woods. Miss Frances Byrel Spencer
presided at the organ.
The visiting clergy and laity were
entertained at noon with a banquet)
given in honor of the newly conse
crated Bishop in the magnificent now
dining hall of the college. This struc-
ture was recently completed at a cost
approximating $200000 and was
use*f for the first time on Tuesday. It
hasVi seating capacity of r»00 people
and Is equipped with every facility
for prompt and efficient service. The
music at the banquet was splendidly
rendered by the Cliff Lowe Orchestra
of Terre Haute Indiana.
The program of speakers at the
banquet included Archbishop Munde-
lein Archbishop Shaw and Monsig-
nor Gavisk Father William O’Brien
Vice-President of the Church Exten-
sion Society of Chicago acted a>
toastmaster.
A generous amount of credit for
the* magnificent setting for-the cere
.- e_
monies o fthe day is due the Sisters
of Providence of Saint Mary-o the-
Woods. No pains or expense were
spared to make this one of the most
memorable occasions in the ecclesias-
tical history of Indiana. The Rev-
erend Mother Mary Cleophas Sup
erior General of the Sisters of Pro-
vidence was present at the ceremo-
nies togethe rwith over 200 nuns
of the Order among whom were j
some of the former teachers of the
newly consecrated Bishop.
Bi*hop Ledvina was born October
28 !8(>8 in Evansville Indiana the
son of George and Mary Ledvina.
After finishing his primary educa-
tion i nthe schools of St. Louis and
the parochial schools of Evansville
he entered St. Meinrad College and
Seminary. Graduating front that ins
titution he was ordained a priest
March 18. 1893. by the late Francis
Silas Chatard D. D. Bishop of In-
dianapolis. His first appointment wa-
ns a curate in Evansville and later
he was made pastor of the Catholic
Church in Princeton Indiana where
he built the present church edifice.
It was at this place that his genius
for organization and system attracted
the attention of Monsignor Francis
C. Ktjlley who was then orgat#ig the
Catholic Church Extension Society
of America. Father Ledvina was
with much difficulty induced to re-
sign his charge at Princeton and take
up the larger fiel dof work as gen-
eral secretary of the new Society in
which capacity he has served over
fourteen years.
Although the loss of Bishop Ledvi-
na will be keenly felt by the priest*
of the Diocese of Indianapolis his
generous artd truly apostblic admi
nistration of the Secretary-ship of
Extension will be misse deven more
keenly by the poor Missions in the
sputhwest of the United States and
even in M c?fcco and Alaska. Nume-
rous communications arriving from
the farthest outposts o fthe Church’s
activities in all Norfti America bear
eloquent testimony to the apostolic
zeal and impartial generosity of the i
Bishop.
