Cardinal leads large confirmation at church ceremony
Children were confirmed first before adults as His Eminence presided at solemn mass at 11 o'clock. The cardinal urged children to keep church commandments and become good Americans while new pledges to abstain from alcohol or tobacco until age twenty-one were given to the boys. A guard of honor lined the rectory door to the sanctuary as clergy and acolytes processed. After the service the cardinal commended Dr. Stafford's work and noted the gathering as a good omen for Catholic prospects, with Haydn and other music performed. Outside, a crowd formed along F to G streets blocking Tenth street.
