In a dramatic spectacle, the consecration of Bishop Lihert Hubert Bocynaems took place at St. Mary’s Cathedral in San Francisco on July 26, 1903. The ceremony, attended by a who’s who of the clergy, was a poignant reminder of the reverence and devotion that once reigned in the city’s ecclesiastical circles. Among the clergy in attendance was Archbishop Riordan, whose altar throne was a testament to his esteemed position.
