Speaking at the annual Communion breakfast of the Irish National Foresters in Sydney, his Grace Archbishop Kelly said it was desirable that it should be mad© known that the Apostolic Delegate, Archbishop Cerretti, was the representative of the Holy Father for all Australasia. His life would be very much like the life of the Under-Secretary of some State Department. He would have his staff, and be in communication with -all who wished to communicate with him. First he had to settle Providence had fixed his residence among them, and enabled them to find a good sit© for his Excellency’s residence and Delegation. The news of the splendid reception they had given the Delegate had gone to Rome, and no doubt the Holy Father would send them back his blessing for it. Regarding the official character of the Apostolic Delegate, he was not for attending public functions, but for other purposes. Individually all would find his Excellency a most delightful citizen wherever he went. While he was here —for he did not suppose Archbishop Cerretti would always remain in Australia, although the Delegation would —they hoped that he would enjoy good health, the sunny climate, and the warm-hearted and grateful people who inhabited this continent.
