24 AT RE, COMNELY MADE MONSIGOR Colorful Ceremonies Mark Elevation of Local Catholic Rector. Colorful ceremonies last night marked the elevation of Right Rev. Eugene J.| Connelly to the rank of monsignor by | Archbishop Michael J. Curley of Balti- | more before more than 1,000 persons in | St. Peter's Catholic Church, Second and © streets southeast. In congratulating the new prelate, Archbishop Curley told of the excep- tional work done by Mgr. Connelly since he became a nriest 27 years ago. He added that he had been counseled re- peatedly in recent years by the new monsignor. It was pointed out that Mgr. Connelly had been unusually suc- cessful as rector of St. Peter’s Church for the past six years. A papal brief investing the rector with the robes of monsignor was read by Rev. Edwin Leonard, diocesan di- rector of charities. The brief compli- mer:ted Mgr. Connelly on his accom- plishments under the late Cardinal Gibbons and under Archbishop Curley. In response Mgr. Connelly thanked the archbishop and asked him to inform Pope Pius XI of his appreciation. He expressed regret that his parents and his boyhood teachers were not present. He also praised the members of his parish for co-operating with him in his work. A procession of acolytes, secular and religlous priests, monsignori, and the archbishop filed through the church at the opening of the ceremonies. Among the 10 monsignori and 70 clergymen were Mgr. James Ryan, rector of Cath- olic_University, and Mgr. Edward Pace of the same institution. The celebration of benediction, con- ducted by Mgr. Connelly, brought the services to a close. An informal recep- tion then was held in the parish hall. Sonora, Mexico, Group Sponsoring $25,000 Project.
