Would it be one of those classic freshman answers that makes Father Drew smile? Father derives great enjoyment from his teaching. A true friend and spiritual father to the young people of St. James Parish is Father Albert Drew, our new curate, Our gain was a loss for Queen of Angels, Newark, from where he was transferred to St. James last year. Father Drew serves on the faculty of our school as instructor in religion for the freshmen, a fortunate group of students, In addition to teaching, Father has all the usual parish duties which he performs with Christ-like zeal. Father, besides being spiritual director, likes to take an active part in our games and fun. The altar servers look up to him for guidance and example. Boys from the fourth grade through high school are always willing to lend their friend a hand any time he needs them. The public high school boys and girls need not live in ignorance of their holy faith, for Father Drew holds classes to instruct them in the chief truths of religion.
