Albert was assigned to Saint Cyri1's, where he was head of the English department, prefect of discipline, and originator of the Urifiamme magazine and year- book. VVhen the new high school was built, Father Albert was one of the prime movers in having the name changed from St. Cyril's to Mount Carmel High School. ln 1921 Fr. Albert left St. Cyril's to take over the devotion to Saint Therese, started by the Carmelites nine years before. After organizing the Society of the Little Flower, he received the title of The Apostle of Little Flower Devotion in Americaf' Fr. Albert preached Little Flower novenas in all 48 states and most of the provinces in Canada, establishing shrines in more than 40 American cities. Because of poor health, Fr. Albert was made director of the Eastern Shrine in New Jersey, in 1931, where he died on January 22, 1951, of a heart ailment. Father Albert is enjoying the heavenly roses of St. Therese, because in his humble way he was truly an apostle of the Little Flower, for whom he gave his life to bring greater love on earth. 10
