Winkelmann to Wichita. His appointment as Bishop brings to this diocese a religious leader who is at once a scholar possessed of advanced ideas' on social welfare, and an executive eminently capable of putting those ideas into practice. His formal installation on March 4 marked the beginning of his episcopal rule over the Wichita Diocese. Bishop Winkelmann, in addition to being a learned man, is also an out- standing lcader of his people. A resume of his life'si activities reveals his admin- istrative ability and leadership. His early life was spent in the devout home of Iohn Winkelmann, a humble German shoecobbler, in Carondelet section of St. Louis, in which daily religious devotions were held. His teachers in the parochial school of the parish recognized in him a promising student. Serving as altar boy in the church, he decided early to devote himself to the service of God. Always an enthusiastic individual, his adherence to a rigid routine of active sports is, no doubt, responsible for the stalwart physique and almost boundless energy he possesses today. Bishop Winkelmann came here from the St. Louis Archdiocese, where he served as auxiliary bishop since 1933, and pastor of St. Francis de Sales Church since 1929. During twenty-four years of work in rural parishes, he acquired a deep understanding of the problems of rural people. In the archdiocese he was the guiding spirit of a rural life program, designed to aid Catholics on farms and in small towns. The successs that has attended. his years of service insures for him a successful administration in his new duties. I I Despite the fact that Bishop Winkelmann- has received high honors during recent years, that he was auxiliary in one of the most influential archdioceses in the nation and pastor of a prosperous urban parish, he cherishes the common man, the poor, and the humble. Unfortunates have always found in him a kindly support, and a Warm Welcome to his home awaits rural pastors, farmers and workingmen. With an understanding of his benevolent disposition, there is no mystery in the selection of his coat of arms, adopted at the time of his consecration, which bears the motto: In Omnibus Caritas. Bishop Winkelmann's well-rounded experience in general church work, his sane and effective approach to-. particular problems, his broad viewpoints on matters outside the church sphere, his active participation in St. Louis and in other communities in secular activities, mark him as an able and experienced civic leader, who will be an asset to the community as well as a spiritual guide. It is with enthusiasm that we will follow his leadership.
