Day of Glorification for Greeley Catholics
A warm day saw the cornerstone ceremony for a new Catholic church in Greeley. The procession led by Detep Mit featured priests in ecclesiastical robes, with oratorical remarks by Judge Garrigues, X Snyder, and Father O Ryan praising law, school, and church, and urging unity of Christian civility while opposing church state fusion. The pontifical address framed the stone as symbol of life and civilization, linking it to law, order, and obedience and to virtues embodied by the cross and flag.
