Confraternity Moderator, Ralph Desimone, and his wife Brigitte had the privilege and pleasure of representing the Confraternity at the recent Installation Mass of Bishop Vigneron as 5th Archbishop of Detroit. As Bishop of Oakland, the Archbishop erected the Confraternity which continues to claim him as its first member.
The Archbishop's guests from Oakland were all treated to
extraordinary hospitality—much warmth in the freezing snow
of Detroit. The Holy Mass at the Cathedral of the Most
Blessed Sacrament was beautifully done, and the
Installation ceremony was very impressive. As the new
Archbishop ascended his cathedra, he was met with a
thunderous standing ovation by all present.
As hearts of parents, family and old friends welcomed him
home, other hearts were breaking with sadness at his loss.
