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.
