Tribute Paid Cardinal
Muench At Requiem Mass
His Native Milwaukee
(N.C.W.C. News Service) *
MILWAUKEE—Tribute was paid to the memory of a distinguished churchman
when a Solemn Pontifical Mass of Requiem was offered here for Aloisius Cardinal
Muench in the cathedral of his native city.
The greatness of his contributions to the cause of religion in varied assign
ments as priest and bishop was detailed by Bishop William P. O’Connor of Madi
son, Wis., at the Mass offered by Archbishop William E. Cousins of Milwaukee.
The Cathedral of St. John
was filled to capacity with
clergy and lay friends of the
Cardinal. Many of the priqsts
were his former students at St.
Francis Seminary here. Card
inal Muench was professor of
dogmatic theology and later
rector of the seminary from
1922 until he was named Bish
op of Fargo, N. D., in October,
1935.
“He has returned to this city
of his birth to receive the tri
bute of his many friends
among the clergy and laity/’
said Bishop O’Connor, an asso
ciate of the Cardinal on the
seminary faculty for 13 years.
“He left a part of himself
here as seminary professor and
rector,” said Bishop O’Connor.
“The imprint of his greatness
in priestly zeal and learning is
still fresh among many of our
clergy in Wisconsin and other
northwest states.
“He left something of him
self in the Diocese of Fargo,
North Dakota, a See he ruled
with rare insight in the prob
lems of the rural community.
He had the vision to see and
emphasize the importance of
the social sciences among
priests and people.
“When called to assume the
heavy burden and the heavy
responsibility of a diplomat of
the Church, he accounted him
self with great distinction even
though he had no diplomatic
training. He left a great part of
himself in Germany, to whose
survival and revival he con
tributed so much.
“Finally, when called to
Rome to receive the honor and
dignity of Prince of the
Church and to assist in its
government he left something
there of that great priesthood
which we in this city and state
of his birth had known and
loved and admired in him.”
Cardinal Muench’s remains
were brought here (Feb. 19)
from O’Hare Field in Chicago
after a flight from Rome
where he died (Feb. 15). The
body lay in state in the Cathe
dral of St. John (from 3 to
10 p. m., Feb. 20).
Following the Requiem
Mass, Archbishop Cousins im
parted the absolution. The re
mains were then flown to Far
go for solemn funeral services
(Feb. 23) in the cathedral of
St. Mary.
In a tribute to his memory
Archbishop Cousins stated that
“there is a real mourning in
the Archdiocese of Milwaukee,
since his relationships here
were so strong and because he
kept them so fresh-
“The early part of his min
istry was dedicated to the ser
vice of the Church in this area
and his tenure at St. Francis
Seminary made him well-ac
quainted with many of our
priests.
Many were his personal
friends from seminary days
and many remember him well
as the rector who presided
over their preparation for the
priesthood.
“These were associations
that meant much to him. For
he came back to Milwaukee
often to renew them after his
duties took him to Fargo.
“Wisconsin as a state has
lost one of its outstanding cit
izens, one who brought new
honor to her name in the field
of diplomacy as Papal Nuncio
to the new Government of
Germany. He carried into that
work principles and standards
reflecting the American values
to which he was so deeply
dedicated.
“His many friends here, in
the priesthood and in lay life,
will hold him in revered
memory for many years.”
Albert Cardinal Meyer,
Archbishop of Chicago, recall
ed that “it has been my privi
lege to have known Cardinal
Muench for many years. As a
young priest I served under
him when he was rector of St.
Francis Seminary. We had
many things in common. We
were both born in Milwaukee
and we were both ordained for
the archdiocese of Milwaukee.
“We were fellow professors
at St. Francis Seminary in
Milwaukee, where both of us
also served as rector of the

seminary. His loss is that of a
dear personal friend, whose
friendship I have cherished
through many years.
“It is not for me to attempt
to assess the greatness of his
contribution to the cause of re
ligion. Everywhere—whether
as rector or Bishop or Papal
Nuncio — his work has been
recognised as outstanding.
Particularly, I would say he
was gifted with a keen, ana
lytical mind, with a sureness
and soundness of judgment,
and with a kindly and friendly
disposition.
“I am confident that when
his biography is written — as
it surely deserves to be writ
ten — he will be recignized as
one of the truly great church
men in the history of the Cath
olic Church in the United
States.”
For a little over a year,
Cardinal Muench had held the
title of Cardinal Protector of
the School Sisters of Notre
Dame, the community of nuns
who taught him as a boy at
St. Boniface school here.
“We deeply regret that his
term as our Cardinal Protector
was so brief,” said Mother
Mary Antonice, Provincial Su
perior. “From the days of his
boyhood at St. Boniface, he
was a sincere friend of the
School Sisters of Notre Dame.
“We are grateful for the pri
vilege of having known so
well this kind and unusually
discerning prelate. Fatherly in
terest and quiet encourage
ment marked his relationship
with our congregation.”
