Long Beach, Calif. --01-03-12 - A fundraiser held at Michael's on Naples Ristorante in Long Beach, for Cardinal William Levada, a graduate of St. Anthony High who has risen to become the highest ranking American in the Vatican, is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his ordination as a priest. On Tuesday, Levada joined a celebration to help in the effort to endow a $1.8 million William J. Levada Chair in Systematic Theology at St. John's Seminary in Camarillo. Levada attended the seminary after graduation from St. Anthony. Levada was ordained to the priesthood Dec. 20, 1961, by Archbishop Martin John O'Connor. Since then Levada has consistently risen through the ranks of the Roman Curia, or central governing body of the church. In December, Levada celebrated the anniversary in the Vatican at St. Peter's Basilica, where he repeated his priestly vows. Levada, the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, was elevated to his current position in 2005 when he was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI. He was named to the College of Cardinals in 2006. Stephen Carr/ Staff Photographer
