The Investiture of Monsignor Gillespie E On Sunday morning, October twenty--seventh, a ceremony of great interest to the people of Keokuk was enacted at Saint Peter's Church. Father Gillespie, recently honored by His Holiness Pope Pius Xl, and invested in the robes of his newly acquired monsignorial rank, was the central figure. A mighty throng, filled with love and loyalty unsurpassed, gathered at the church to honor a beloved pastor, whom the Great White Shepherd had declared worthy of the dignity of Domestic Prelate. Twenty years previous to the date of his investiture, Monsignor Gillespie had been appointed pastor of the Saint Peter Parish, and dean ofthe clergy in southeastern lowa. His zealous workin the parish makes his life as shepherd of his flock a notable one. Monsignor Gillespie, with the unanimous co-operation of his parishioners, has maintained the unusual work accomplished by Father O'Reilly during his pastorate, namely: the construction of the church, rectory, school, and recreation center. These achievements stand out prominently as enduring monuments to their effec- tive zeal. Cn the morn of the investiture, a Solemn Pontifical lNlass was cele- brated. The Right Reverend Henry P. Rohlman, Bishop of Davenport, acted as celebrant. He was assisted by the Reverend Thomas F. Galligan, arch-priest, Right Reverend Thomas Loftus, deacon, the Reverend john Courtney and the Reverend Francis Cleary, deacons of honor. The Reverend joseph B. Code served as master of ceremonies. Very Reverend Vllilliam Hannon, P. R., delivered an inspiring and impressive sermon on The Kingship of Christ. Nlany other priests from near and from distant points were present in the sanctuary. In this volume of Tllli GA'l'EKEEPliR, the first since the investiture of Monsignor Gillespie, we, his devoted children, the students of the Saint Peter High, wish to express our deep respect and admiration for our beloved pastor, and our pride in the honor which the Church has bestowed upon him.
