VH RITHS Our Pastors OUR by hour, day and night, year in and year out, amid the sorrows and joys of the past, the hopes and fears of the present, and the shadowy future, stands a kindly shepherd surrounded by his flock, tenderly ministering in sickness, ever vigilant, ever tending, ever guiding the stray to fthe fold. . C ., The shepherd of his flock -how aptly it applies to him, who for twelve long years has administered to the wants of a growing parish. As the voyages of Columbus were an adventure to him, so too, the openingof St. Theresa mission was an adventure as well as a duty to Father McCabe. Like Columbus, our pastor made a tremendous discovery. But the appre- ciation shown toward the satisfaction and contentment that accompanied so great a mission was entirely unlike that manifested toward the great navigator. Columbus not only failed to see America as an acknowledged colony, but died disheartened, in ignominy and even in chains. Ilow unlike our pastor's reward. Twelve years ago, there was built a tiny church, supplying ample space for the few parishioners. Gradually, under the supervision of Father McCabe, a Sunday school flourished, then, with the ever-increasing number of parishioners, a large school and chapel were erected, and now, as a finishing stroke, the magnihcent House of God. Under our pastor's guidance the small flock has developed into a huge, systematic, smooth-running organization. The eritfire plan, now completed, is as large and as beautiful as any parish ever builztfg Z Does not all of this do honor to him who has devoted his life to the Honor and Glory of.God'? We also owe a tribute to Father Carroll, to whjtgn the duties of assistant in St. Theresa's have fallen. Those numerous te iiius tasks which occupy the entire day, and must be carried out fullygandlfaithfullypgarehis. But, together with his laborious duties, Father Carroll hastgsstixfiedtthe role of professor in religion. The students have found in hirni a fairfiiigd, broad- minded teacher, whose minute explanations relieve manyfa religious prob- lem. From the Hrst, the advent of Father Carroll has brbughlt fortune upon us. f C .Ti'fffg.,,,nQ V Father Mereto is a man of tact. Although not long in our lrrfiidst, the children, as well as the older parishionersfhave been captured by his jolly smile and the kindliness that radiates about him. il 7 iq 3 V ' !
