Show Consecrated Bishop of Mobile. ..Washington, September 21. The consecration conse-cration of Rev. Jeremiah O'Sullivan, pastor of St. Peter's Catholic Church of this city, as Bishop of the diocese of Mobile, Alabama, took place at that church to-day. The ceremony cere-mony of consecrating the bishop usually takes place in the Cathedral, but at the urgent request of : Father O'Sullivan, the Archbishop consented to perform the ceremony cere-mony at the church of the Bishop elect, in the presence of his congregation. Therefore, the same ceremony which for more than eighteen hundred years has at intervals been performed in various parts of the world, was to-day performed for the first time at the Capitol of the nation, and in a little unpretentious church in the Capitol. |
