Roman Catholic Archbishop James Peter Davis (left) and Episcopal Bishop Richard M. Trelease met for ecumenical talks at St. Francis Cathedral, Santa Fe, prior to the start of a Liturgical Celebration of the Feast of St. Nicholas. Trelease and members of the Episcopal Cathedral staff were invited to participate in the ceremony by Archbishop Davis. The event marked another first for the two churches in ecumenical relations. In December, 1971, Archbishop Davis participated in consecration ceremonies for Trelease on his arrival to the diocese from Ohio.
