REV. F. RECTOR
hood by the Most Rev. William J.
Hafey, D. D., Bishop of Raleigh.
An ordination ceremony usually
takes place at the Cathedral Church
of the Bishop of the diocese, but the
Most Rev. Bishop, wishing to honor
the young neophyte who is the first
native son of Salisbury to be ordained
to the priesthood, and his relatives
who were among the pioneers of Ca
tholicity in North Carolina, decided
to confer holy Orders in the local
church.
Rev- John Francis Rouecbe, born in'
Salisbury November 7, 1906, is the son
of the late John Patrick Roueche and
Margaret Taaffe Roueche, and a
grandson of Francis Richard Roue
che who, coming from France, made
Salisbury his home nearly one hun
dred years ago—in 1838. The young
Levite was baptized, received his
first Holy Communion, and was con
firmed in the same little mission
church in which he is now to offer
his priestly vows to God and dedicate
his life to the work in the Master's
vineyard, his native state of North
Carolina. After finishing the grades
in the local parochial school he made
his classical studies at Belmont Col
lege, Belmont, N. C., and completed
his theological course at St. Mary’s
Seminary, Baltimore Md. Of the
numerous relatives, descendants of
Francis Richard Roueche, of whom
ever cne hundred are living in North
Carolina and other states, many were
present on this occasion to see one of
their own raised to the dignity of the
priesthood. The young priest will
celebrate his FiTSt Solemn High Mass
the following Sunday. June 18, at
St. Matthew's Church, in Washington,
D. C., where his immediate family
have been making their home for
some years.
Rev. William John Kuder, who will
be ordained on the same occasion,
was bora in New York City cf par
ents whom he lost in early childhood.
Baptized in Holy Cross Church in
New York City, he made the gram
mar grades in the schools in Cleve
land, Ohio, completing his classical
and theological . studies under the
Benedictine Fathers in the West and
in North Carolina. Several of his
near relatives from Tarry town, N. Y..
were present at the ordinaion cere
mony. The young priest will cele
brate his First Solemn High Mass in
All Saints Church in Mercer, Penn
sylvania his mother’s home town-
Both young men will' be ordained
for the diocese of Raleigh and assume
their duties in the course of the sum
mer. subject 1o the assignment by
the Most Rev. William J. Hafey, D.D.
The Rev. William Regnat, O.S.B.,
pastor of Sacred Heart Church, and
the Rev. Cornelius Selheber, O.S.B.,
rector of Belmont Abbey College,
were assistants to Bishop Hafey at the
ordination, and the Rev. Nicholas
