Gur Bishop His Excellency BRYAN MCENTEGART Bishop of Brooklyn Brooklyn welcomes a new Bishop this year. Thursday, une 13, 1957, was a memorable day, for Bishop Bryan J. cEntegart hecame the fourth Bishop of the Diocese of rooklyn. He is wholly worthy of the high honor conferred pon him and is deserving of the hest affection of his flock- riests, religious and people. His Exeellencys impressive record of remarkable admin' 'strative ability, as Rector of Catholic University of America, is learning, his unseliishness and his Christlikeness well exemplihes what one educator said of him, Bishop MeEiitef gart seems to think and act as did Cur Divine Master. Who could ask Z1 greater trihute7 We at St. Josephs extend our heartful welcome and pledge our unfailing loyalty, our deep love, and our complete obedif ence to our new Bishop and we ask Cur Lady of Lourdes in this centenary year of '58, to bless and make fruitful his efforts in the Cause of Her Son, Christ.
