O'Brien to wear historic cross at installation

[nhboy]

"Ahead of the installation Mass this afternoon in which Archbishop Edwin F. O'Brien is installed, the new leader today received a historic gift from his predecessor.

Cardinal William H. Keeler presented O'Brien with the pectoral cross used by Baltimore's first archbishop, John Carroll. At a news conference today at St. Mary's Seminary, O'Brien said he would wear it at this afternoon's installation ceremony at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen.

O'Brien said today is a busy day, but also one of prayer."
