May he be filled with the good things of Your house, the holy things of Your temple. On January 25, 1965, Lawrence Joseph Shehan, Archibishop of Baltimore, was elevated to the status of the cardinalate. Preceded only by James Cardinal Gibbons, he is the second native Baltimorean to become a prince of the Church and was the sole American among the twenty-seven named by Pope Paul VI. Shy by nature he feels that The honor would not have come to me if there were not approval of my work in racial justice and Christian unity, Under his direction, numerous anti-discrimination measures have been effected in the archdiocese and efforts toward Christian unity have been accelerated. In addition to archdiocesan duties, he was elected by the American bishops to organize a national commission on Christian unity in conjunction with the National Catholic Welfare Coun- cil. Since his return to Baltimore after reception of the red hat, Cardinal Shehan has looked towards further fulfilling his motto All things in Charity. 9
