In preparation for his vocation, he attended the North American College in Rome. In the seminary, he became director of the choir, a Work he en- joyed. Since he was ordained in 1893, May 27 of this year will mark his golden jubilee. His first appointments brought him to Buffalo, Where he became pastor of Saint Theresa of Avilals par- ish. His next step was an important one. He became superin- tendent of schools in the Buffalo Diocese and carried on many admirable projects in this position. On March 25, 1919, he was consecrated Bishop of Albany, an office which he has executed faithfully for the last twenty-four years. He should be espe- cially indebted to him for his Wisdom and foresight in advocating, organizing and promoting Catholic Central High School, our own Alma Mater. His present favorite project is the Diocesan Mission Aid, which he organized to help the poor parishes in our own diocese.
