In an address infused with humor, gratitude and Scripture, Pittsburgh's new Roman Catholic bishop spurred members of his flock to "get excited" about living and sharing their faith each day.

Following his installation as leader of the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh, Bishop David A. Zubik rose to stand above the altar of its mother church and to challenge its 764,000 members to "be excited about our faith, and how we live it."

With ringing of bells, pealing of brass instruments and an 80-voice choir soaring above two organs, the ceremony began at 2 p.m. with a 30-minute procession of sword-wielding members of Catholic orders in flowing satin capes and plumed hats, clergymen in flowing white vestments and other dignitaries.

Bright beams of afternoon sunlight pierced the cathedral's stained-glass windows as the procession made its way down the center aisle and turned at the altar to await the bishop's entry.

Worshippers packed pews and jammed white folding chairs that had been set up in rows to permit 1,700 people to fit into the cathedral. About 750 others watched on closed-circuit television next door in Synod Hall.
