Her immediate task will be to di- rect a_ six-months study otf all Cath- olic education in the diocese.

The first layman to hold an admin- istrative post in a Catholic secondary school in New York State, he is be- lieved to be the first layman in the nation to become the chief school of- -ficer in an instrtotton owned by a religious congregation. v Born and educated in Plattsburg. N.Y., Tessier is a graduate of St Mi- chael's College in Wlnooskl, Vt, has a Master's degree in education from Elmira College and has pursued graduate studies at Cornell Univer- sity. \\' He is certified by New York State as a math teacher and a secondary school principal. •- •&?

She has made post gradu- ate^studies at Cornell and the Uni- versity of Massachusetts. She hopes to enter a law school in September, 1970, after the special project for the diocesan Education Office is finished. \I believe .there is much legal re- search to be done to clarify and estab- lish the civil rights for-children, My work in education, with adolescents, and recent experiences in Elmira with the Urban Task Force provide a unique background for legal studies.\ Revealing that she has had a life- long ambition to study law, Sister said that the needs of the Mercy Congre- gation and the Church in this diocese might be well served by having a Sister conversant with legal princF - pies and techniques. \I see a need for religious congre- gations to 'have at least one member who can serve as a bridge to the sev- eral federal and state agencies cur- rently wrestling with Church and State problems in education, taxation and social welfare legislation. — \The reform of penal practices and institutions, probation and parole pro- cedures, bail practices for the poor, rehabilitation for criminals and other social issues are of great concern to Christians. I believe that the needs of young people, the Church and my own Congregation coincide with my aspir- ation to begin legal studies.\ JFYOUMOVE. .. , let us khovv-abeuLits6D_sc can—: Jceep ysour Certifier corning^ yout on time.

Sheen who only five weeks ago vacated that throne. The installation' took place just minutes after a score of archbishops and bishops, as co-consecrators with the Apostolic Delegate—bad silently imposed their hands upon the bishop- elect in the consecration rites. r \ «• Bishop Hogan was ordained a priest in this same sanctuary on June 6, 1942.- An overflow congregation and un- counted thousands of Jelevision view- ers witnessed this climax of the im- pressive rites between the Gospel and the Offertory ^xf the ordination Mass. Jhe Bishop's mother, Mrs. Michael WJHEC-JV, Rochester's Chan- nel 10, which televised the en- tire 2-hour ceremony will pre- sent an edited replay of high- lights of' the consecration of Bishop Hogan from 8 to 8:30 to- night (Friday). Channel 21. Rochester, will air a 60-mlnute interview with Bishop Hogan on Saturday eve- ning at 10 p.m. Hogan7~84, of Lima, and his three sis- ters and two brothers were present. A large number of relatives and Lima neighbors were among -the 600 lay guests of Bisnop Hogan. Nearly 400 priests and religious were present. At the conclusion of communion time in the Mass, Bishop Hogan left the sanctuary to greet his mother and family seated in the front pew. He then walked the length of the center aisle and returned giving his first blessing to the people.- (A special supplement honoring Bishop Hogan included with today's Courier-Journal contains many photos and articles about the new Bishop's life and family, diocesan history and the ordination ceremonies .) In his sermon at the very end of the ceremonies, Bishop Hogan said that he \joyously\ accepted the bur- dens of being \Shepherd of my flock\ because he had such trust in the as- sistance xA Almighty GodL _____ \I rejoice in the power of the Holy Spirit offered to me today with the same love with which He confirmed the first Bishops and the Infant Church in the first Pentecost\ Admitting the tensions of the times which threaten religion, the new Bish- op warned the diocese of future trials: \Whd.le holy in its divine di- mensions and doctrines the Church will ever remain throughout its pil- grimage a body of sinful men ever tempted to alienation from God and ever in need of renewal in Christ.\ \The pain of this hour,\ he said, \will be a prelude to renewed life only if we accept\ it with faith, cour- age and love.\ The Task of the Bishop and the priest and the Christian today is im- possible, -he-statedj if it depends sole- ly on human strength and ingenuity. \But I believe with St. Paul, There is nothing I cannot master with the help of the One who gives me strength.'\ 1 \The \ Bishop feelingly pledged his trust in the loyalty of the priests, re- ligious and laity of the diocese. To the priests he said: \We priests above all others must reflect what the Church is meant to be — a Com- munity of Charity ~- of men united with God in Christ. \United in Christ there is—prac=— Wcally no limit to what we can ac- complish in the cause of Christ. Di- vided we can be only a stumbling blook — a scandal — to the whole community.\ Declaring that religious and the laity have a \vital role in the mission of the__urch and the redemption of the world, the Bishop said that the' task of bringing the \Good News\ to the community entails \living the word\. \We must have a deep and con- tinual concern for the dignity of all men: to hunger and thirst for univer- sal justice; to extend the hand of Christ's mercy and love whenever and to whomever we are able.\ &He concluded with a moving quota- tion from the late Dag Hammarskjold: \Do what you can — and the task will rest lightly in your hand, so lightly you will be able to look for- ward to the more difficult tasks which may b& awaiting you.\ (Full text of Bishop Hogan's ser- mon will be found on Page 6.) Retiring Archbishop Sheen who di- rected the diocese for almost three years was an important figure in the installation ritual as assistant conse- crator. He was to leave\ Rochester Friday evening by' plane for New York City where will live in what he predicted to be \a busy retirement.\ Bishop James II Kearney, 85, fifth Bishop of Rochester for 29 years, who retired from diocesan duties here in October, 1966, had a place of honor in the sanctuary and was a co-conse- ' crator of the new bishop. He was particularly pleased to be on hand, he said, because he had or- dained -Bishop Hogan to the priest- hood 27 years before in the same cathedral and had personally given him every assignment in his priestly (Continued on Page 3) Bishop Hogan stands at the cathedral throne-chair, seat of his diocesan authority, awaiting the approach of representatives of diocesan laity and religious who came forward at his installation <}e^enu}nle& to pledge the loyalty and affection of his people •Tgi 1 _i ..i,'-•/ai -_, JLi-e ./\\'.^r .v.. • v '* \ .:(!&' i -*ni -^ .T iJ i_r '\v x .
