A ESQ!! ?ftXSZQ,B.- Deer Reverend Sisters and pupils of Immaculate Conception Consent, Havre Boucher: Q I wish to congratulate the High School pupils of Havre Boucher on the project of' a 'slear Book which they are pref- paring as a tribute to their Pastor, Reverend FlB.'bh61' James Kiely, who is now absent from his parish, due to illness. The project. is typical of the Havre Boucher spirit, where the good people cherish, their pastors, past and present, with a great and abid- ing affection. Even the memory of Father Vincent, the sairrbly founder of the Monastery of La'I'rappe at Tracadie, whose name :ls found onthe Baptismal Records of St. Pauls Church, Havre Bouch- V er' writtenin the early twenties of the nineteenth century - ia stillheld in grateful remembrance at Havre Boucher and passed on . and on and down to succeeding generations. 'In memoria aeterns ' , erit Justus. - A . ' . I am glad of this opportunity off, expressing my own word of appreciation of Reverend Father Kiely, whose fine priest- ly character will be thought of with honor and gratitude asylong V as memory lasts. No one will ever say of Father Kiely, - what he , is drowns out what he says . To his fellow priests he has given the example of energy and constancy in labor, of courage in the . fulfillment of duty, of sympathy with the suffering and sorrowfull, of kindness and gentleness to all, of perfect unselfishness. May people who lament his ,b-sence? l e- , - ' f 4 . The best ami happiest years of my own priestly life were spent at Havre -Boucher which I left only on command of my Bi- shop. It is a parish where people of different racial :e't.oekgs live in harmony and peace, whore they strive to solve their social ani' economic problems through mutual trust and cooperation, where fee-t rnily life-and social life are wholesome, for Clzriist is the radiant. centre thereof. . - e A D when think of the szmpls 'faith and prayorful lives of the people of Havre Boucher, I recall the words of the poet a- bout another group of Acadian people: 'Wien whose lives glided on like rivers that water the woodlands darkened by shadows of earth but reflecting the image of Heaven. ' A Q God in His goodness and mercyprestore him soon to his sorrowing AL
