Medeiros, Diocesan Chancellor, because an altar to be consecrated must be "fixed"; that is, made of concrete, marble, :01' some iuch permanent material. Most altars are constructed of wood, with a movable altar stone, he said. The altar at St. Anne's is of four differenl marbles: red Ali_ cante, yellow Siena, Botticino , and onyx dore of Africa. Made in Italy, it was imported by the Ada Prato Company o£ Boston.
