Silver Bells ring out their delight On June 6th of this year Msgr. Leo Keating will complete his first twenty-five years in the priesthood. The calibre of his work for God, His Church, the diocese and the Cathedral parish is well attested to by the fact that he has been honored by the Holy Father by having been made a Domestic Prelate, and by the Bishop of the Diocese of Grand Island by having been made the Vicar General of the Diocese and pastor of St. Mary ' s Cathedral parish. We students of Central Catholic High School wish to pay particular tribute to Msgr. Keating for his interest in and unselfish work for Catholic Education in Grand Island during these twenty-five years. Havig been appointed assistant at the Cathedral a bare six months after his ordination, four and a half years later administrator of that parish, and in 1947 its pastor, it is obvious that the growth and present place of prominence of the Catherdal parish is in large measure a living tribute to Msgr. Keating. And one of the most important parts of the Cathedral parish today is its school. Throughout these twenty-five years he has spent as much time in the classroom as his other duties would allow. Finally and of paramount importance to us at Central Catholic, after having been superintendent of St. Mary ' s High School for many years, when it became evident that a Central Catholic High School would more efficiently serve the Catholic high school needs of the growing Grand Is- land area, he gave his own personal support and that of the Cathedral parish to the establishment and building of Central Catholic, without which support it could never have come into existence. His continued support of and interest in Central Catholic is one of the important factors in its continued growth in size and excellence. For all that he is and for all he has done for the Church, but most especially for what he has done for Central Catholic and so for us, its stu- dents, we wish Msgr. Keating God ' s choicest blessings and graces and many more years in His service before joining Him for eternity.
