He studied and received a master's degree in chemistry at the University of Buenos Aires, but later decided to become a Jesuit priest and studied at the Jesuit seminary of Villa Devoto. He studied liberal arts in Santiago, Chile, and in 1960 earned a degree in philosophy from the Catholic University of Buenos Aires. Between 1964 and 1965 he was a teacher of literature and psychology at Inmaculada High School in the province of Santa Fe, and in 1966 he taught the same courses at the prestigious Colegio del Salvador in Buenos Aires. In 1967, he returned to his theological studies and was ordained a priest on December 13, 1969. After his perpetual profession as a Jesuit in 1973, he became master of novices at the Seminary of Villa Barilari in San Miguel. Later that same year, he was elected superior of the Jesuit province of Argentina and Uruguay. In 1980, he returned to San Miguel as a teacher at the Jesuit school, a job rarely taken by a former provincial superior.

Marge has been a “first impression” of the Church for almost 20 years starting at the “old digs” on Church St. and for the last several years at the new Peter Yorke Way address. “I’ve loved every minute of it,” she told me while taking some final calls at her desk in the Pastoral Center’s front lobby just before the Christmas break. Marge and her husband, Joe, a retired City firefighter, took their vows at St. Emydius Church on September 19, 1959. For the last “many, many years” they have been members of St. Finn Barr’s. The good news is that Marge will be back “in a relief capacity” at least several days during the year!!!… Prayers please for the continued recovery of Father Kieran McCormick now undergoing treatment for lymphoma and his brother Msgr. Mickey McCormick who has recently undergone heart by-pass surgery. Father Kieran, former pastor of St. James, San Francisco; St. Timothy, San Mateo and St. Charles in San Carlos, was ordained in 1964 and lives now at Serra Clergy House, 455 W. 20th Ave., San Mateo 94403.

  • A DOMINICAN HERITAGE 1850 – 1979 the Dominican Fathers and Brothers Came to California in 1850
    SACRAMENTO DIOCESAN ARCHIVES Vol 4 Father John E Boll, Archivist No 2 A DOMINICAN HERITAGE 1850 – 1979 The Dominican Fathers and Brothers came to California in 1850. Their first foundation was in Monterey which survived only four years. It was completely abandoned and the community moved to Benicia in 1854 and put down roots there. Throughout the intervening years, Benicia served as the source of the Dominican heritage in California. Benicia became one of the most important centers of the Church in the West and a source of great influence especially along the river. On March 17, 1979, Saint Dominic Parish in Benicia celebrated its 125th anniversary. In preparation for this anniversary, LeNoir Miller compiled and wrote a short history of the journey of the Dominicans from Spain to Monterey and then to Benicia. This and the next two articles are taken from LeNoir’s short history called A Dominican Heritage, 1850 – 1979. The Archivist A Dominican Heritage, Part I By LeNoir Miller Saint Dominic Parish, Benicia, California March 17, 1979 Answering God’s Call to Serve Him The languid days of the early Californian were swept aside in the wake of the ‘49er’s wild scramble to reach the “promised land” of gold. In that teeming exodus to the Pacific shore were many Catholics for whom the Holy Father felt a great concern. There had been no bishop in California since the death of the Franciscan Bishop Francisco Garcia Diego y Moreno in 1846 whose See was San Diego. Father Joseph Alemany, a Dominican, whose See was at Monterey, was appointed in 1850 to succeed him.

Lisska, Denison University (Concluded, from Vol. XXX, No. 9) Alemany Named to the American Hierarchy In Rome in 1850, Alemany was named the founding bishop of the Diocese of Monterey in northern California, from which he began his illustrious career as the pre-eminent Roman Catholic leader in the western states during the third quarter of the nineteenth century. On May 31, 1850, in a Papal Brief entitled Apostolatus offi cium, Alemany was named the Bishop of “the Church in Monterey in Upper California, United States of America.” He was consecrated in Rome a month later, June 20, 1850, the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul. His appointment to the California see was appropriate in several Benicia Priory ways. O’Daniel notes that “his knowledge of the Spanish language and character adjusted him for Carey also notes that there was some “opposition directing the strong Mexican element still existing in California.”18 Patrick Carey remarks in a from the Mexican government to his 20 similar fashion about Alemany’s suitability for the appointment,” but fails to inform his readers of California appointment: what that opposition consisted. His knowledge of Spanish, French, and English Alemany was in Rome in 1850 in his role as as well as his American administrative experience provincial of the Province of St. Joseph in order within a religious order made him a likely to attend the meetings of a General Chapter of episcopal candidate to help resolve some of the the Dominican Order, which, in effect, were problems associated with the erection of the never held.
