.Yen hrs REV. MICHAEL HEALY Father Michael Healy, pastor of St. Mary's Parish, Tiffin, for over forty-five years, was ever the faithful and devoted shepherd of his people. When Father Healy came to St. Mary's in 1859, the little parish had a debt of S6,000. He liquidated this in less than four years. Because of a fire in the old building on Madison St., there was need of a school. Father Healy purchased a two story frame building which was used for twenty years until he pur- chased a brick building, built on Franklin St. In 1863, by the request of Father Healy and Father Bihn, four Ursuline nuns arrived in Tiffin to teach in the Catholic schools. When the purchase of a new cemetery became nececssary, Father chose five acres on Green- field Road as the site. Rev. Thomas F. Conlon arrived in Tiffin in 1899 to be Father Healy's first regular assis- tant. Father Healy found now there was a great need of a new church because of the growing number in the parish. He started collecting funds but, upon the advice of Bishop Horstmann, put the project into younger hands. Father Healy celebrated his Sacredotal Golden Jubilee in 1901. In August, three years after his jubilee, he died. He was simple, kind, and true. Comforting those in time of need, he had many friends who mourned his death. Catholics are fortunate to have had such a great priest as a builder of the faith in Ohio. ll

Rehgfbn Since our Religion is the basis of our life and everything we do depends upon it, we find it outstanding in the activities of Calvert. To start the year out right and to put the students on a straight course to heaven, Father Gabel said the opening Mass of the Holy Ghost on Sept. 4, the first day of school. Father stressed the importance of a good student working for Christ. To help us practice our Religion, Rev. Cyprian Terwood, O. F. M., Conv., and the Rev. Aidan Witte, O. F. M. Conv., conducted by the annual retreat Oct. 13-15. The Franciscan fathers stressed the importance of charity to our fellowmen, and showed the value of cheerful- ness. The retreat was a time of silence and gave the students the opportunity to think and realize the real purpose of life. Taking the place of the mission parties, each home room brought in its quota for the missions by self-denial, raffles, and bake sales. 'These projects were supported wholeheartedly by the students and proved to be more successful than the traditional mission parties. 10
