The crypt in this famous church houses the mortal remains of six great Archbishops and one Cardinal of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. They are John Carroll, Ambrose Marechal, James Whitefield, Samuel Ecclcston, Francis Kenrick, Martin Spalding and James Gibbons. Within its walls have been held three plenary councils, ten provincial councils, and nine diocesan synods. Three cardinals have there been invested. MIRIAM LORENZ, 46 The year 1946 marks the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the Blessed Virgin Mary conceived without sin as patroness of the United States. The Sixth Provincial Council, held in Baltimore May 10, 1946, solemnly declared that ourselves and all entrusted to our charge throughout the United States arc placed under the special patronage of the Holy Mother of God.” This declaration—which issued from the Council at which one archbishop, Samuel Ecclcston, and 22 bishops were present—is the document which Rev. John J. Duggan, of the Cathedral, is holding. Looking at the document are: Miriam Lorenz, prefect of the Sodality, Lorraine Kernan, Mary Selway, Shirley Unkclbach, and Marie Amrhein. The benign face that looks down upon this little group is that of Arch- bishop Ecclcston. He was a native of Maryland, and a convert to the Faith. As the fifth Archbishop of Baltimore, he contributed largely of his own means toward the building of the Cathedral. He was a Sulpician, and was 33 years of age when he succeeded to the See of Baltimore.
