In 1945 St. Mary parish was transferred from the Dio- cese of Cincinnati to the Diocese of Columbus, under the care of Michael J. Ready, newly con- secrated Bishop of Columbus. In 1948 Father Spickerman celebrated his fortieth anniversary as c priest. His pastorate has been striking for the breaking down of preiudice toward Catholics.
