MOST REV DIOMEDE FALCONIO.
Biographical Sketch of His Excellency
fh e Apostolic Delegate.
In view of the approaching visit of
the apostolic delegate to San Antonio
to preside at the ceremony of the lay-
ing of the corner stone of the new ec-
clesiastical seminary of the Oblate
Fathers the following biographical
sketch will be of interest to our
readers:
His Excellency Most Rev. Diomede
Falconio apostolic delegate to the
United States was born SeptemU- 20
1842 at Pescocostanzo a parish in the
diocese of Monte Casino in the Abruz-
zi in Italy. At the age of 18 he en-
tered the Franciscan Order (Septem-
ber 2 1860). On the completion of his
studies he was sent as missionary to
the United States (Nevember 1865.)
and was ordained priest there on the
4th of January 1866 by Mgr. Timon
Bishop of Buffalo. During this first
stay in America Mgr. Falconio filled
several important positions in the or-
der; he was first appointed professor
of philosophy and vice president of
St. Bonaventure’s college at Allegany
N. Y.( 1866); then professor of theol-
ogy and secretary of the Franciscan
Province of the Immaculate Concep-
tion (1867): Anally in 1868 he became
president of the college and seminary
of St. Bonaventure in 1871 at the re-
quest of the Bishop of Harbor-Grace
he was sent to Newfoundland by his
superiors and the year following Mgr.
Clarfagini chose him as his secretary
and as administrate;- of the cathedral.
Mgr. Falconio left Harbor Grace in
1882 on his departure receiving the
most touching demonstrations of es-
teem and affection.
Having spent one year more in the
United States he returned to Italy in
1884 where he was elected provincial
of the Franciscans in the Abruzzi. He
was successively reelected provincial
and at the same time charged with
the office of commissary and visitor
general of the Province of Naples
1888 synodal examiner for the Diocede
of Aquila commissary and visitor. gen-
eral of the Franciscan Province in
Puglia 1889.
In October of the same year the
general chapter of the Franciscan Or-
def held In Rome unanimously chose
him as procurator-general and whilst
occupying this post he was several
timse charged with important mis-
sions such as commissary and visitor-
general in various provinces of the or-
der (1889-1892).
On the 11th of July 1892 when pre-
paring to visit the provinces of the or-
der in France he was preconized bish-
op of Lacedonia and consecrated on
the 17th of the same month at Rome
by his eminence. Cardinal Monaco La
Valletta dean of the Sacred college.
He made his solemn entrance into the
diocese of I Macedonia tho 2nd of Feb-
ruary. 1893 and at once work
winning the respect and affection of
clergy faithful and the civil authori-
ties. A few years later the 29th of
November 1895 the Holy Fathw
raised the Bishop of Lacedonia to the
'United Archieplscopal See of Accer-
enza and Matera in Basilicata —in
which there are 156000 Catholics.
Hence in the midst of the universal
veneration of the people. Leo XIII.
called Mgr. Falconio. and by brief
dated the 3rd of August. 1899. appoint-
ed him at first apostolic delegate to
Canada.
He took . possession at Quebec oh
