12 Friday, October 15, 1993 Bishop Ganter dies Oct. sister lives in Hutchinson BEAUMONT, Texas (CNS)- Bishop BernardJ. Ganter, third bishop of the Diocese of Beaumont, died early Oct. 9 after fighting a brain tumor for more than a year. His funeral Mass was scheduled for noon Oct.

15 at St. Anthony Cathedral in Beaumont, with Archbishop Patrick F. Flores of San Antonio as principal celebrant and Cardinal Bernard F. Law of Boston as homilist. Interment was to be beside the cathedral in the Bishop's Garden, next to Bishop Vincent M.

Harris, founding bishop of the Beaumont Diocese. Bishop Ganter, who turned 65 on July 17, underwent surgery for a malignant, tennis-ball-sized brain tumor on Aug. 21, 1992, at Beaumont's St. Elizabeth Hospital. Because the tumor was too large to remove completely, Bishop Ganter underwent a series of 1 radiation and chemotherapy treatments since then.

He was able to resume limited duties and office work despite the incapacitating effects of the therapies. On June 28, 1993, Bishop Ganter underwent a routine magnetic resonance imaging scan which showed the tumor had begun to grow. Because of its deep location, further surgery was not ordered. The bishop spent the last three months at his brother's home near Galveston. Bishop Ganter was named bishop of Beaumont in 1977 after serving four years as the founding bishop of the Diocese of Tulsa.

Born July 17,1928, in Galveston, Bernard James Ganter studied at St. Patrick's parochial school and Kirwin High School there. He attended Texas University and St. Mary's Seminary in La Porte, Texas, before being ordained on May 22, 1952. He is survived by his mother, Marie L.

Marian library grows in Dayton DAYTON, Ohio (CNS) Here's one to stump trivia buffs. If you were a scholar researching the Immaculate Conception or a television news producer compiling details about alleged apparitions of Mary, where would you go? You could make a pilgrimage to the Vatican Library in Rome or you could travel to Dayton, where the Marian Library on the University of Dayton campus contains the world's largest collection of literature on Mary, the mother of Jesus.

From a modest beginning 50 years ago, when Marianist priest and university president Father John Elbert donated the first book -one he wrote called "Devotion to Mary in the Twentieth Century" it's grown to include 85,000 books and pamphlets in some 50 languages, dating from the 15th century. Although the Marian Library began "very humbly, it was always more than just a library," said Marianist. Father.

Father Elbert wanted to establish something living and active, a contribution to the mission of both the University of Dayton and the Society of Mary. He decided a library devoted explicitly to gathering literature on Mary would be a useful way to mark a triple centenary: the coming of the Marianists to the United States in 1849; the founding of the university in 1850; and the death of its founder, Father William Joseph Chaminade, in 1850.
