His Excellency, Iohn I. Cantwell Archbishop of Los Angeles ARCHBISHOP LOS ANGELES NATIVE of Ireland he was educated at Crescent College, Limerick, and at St. Patricks Col- lege, Thurles, the Alma Mater of legions of missionaries, who have brought the light of the Gospel to the farthermost ends of the earth. Ordained to the priesthood in 1899, he came to Cali- fornia and was assigned as assistant Pastor in Berkeley. l-lere within the shadow of the University of California he founded the Newman Club. l-le was appointed Secretary to the Archbishop of San Francisco in 1999 and ten years later Vicar-General of the Archdiocese. Trained, broadened, and deepened by the administrative offices which he filled with distinction, he was a likely candidate for episcopal honors, and in 1917 he was appointed Bishop of Monterey and Los Angeles. To his new field he brought the ardor of the pioneer and the zeal of the apostle with the result that the extraordinary development of the territory under his jurisdiction, both in the material and spiritual order, is one of the memorable chapters in the history of the Church in America, and stands as an imperishable tribute to his deep faith, dynamic vigor, and persevering courage. Named first Archbishop of Los Angeles in 1936 when the Diocese was elevated to the dignity of a Metropolitan See, he continues to exercise his pastoral office with an energy and fervor worthy of emulation. Dear to his heart is the toilsome task of education and Loyola University, dedicated to the training of youth, has been the recipient since the first moment of his coming into our midst, of his fatherly interest and generous help.
