Last Saturday Archbishop Ireland, at
the conclusion of the retreat at St.
Thomas Seminary, elevated Father L. E.
Caillet, of St. Mary's church, ST. Paul, to
the position of Vicar-G General of this
diocese. The present Vicar General,
Father Ravoux, is growing old, and the
selection of Father Caillet il, designed TO
assist and relieve him, The new selec-
tion is one merited by Father Caillet.
He has been in charge of st. Mary's
church for more than quarter of CEN
tury, and it was thought year ago that
he would have been placed IN cha ge of
st. Thomas Aquinas seminary. He has
great executive ability, and is very
learned man. The new Vicar-Geperal
was born in Lyons, France, in Septem-
ber, 1882, and is therefore, sixty-one
years old. His early education was &C.
cured in France. He came to st. Paul
in 1854, being then twenty two years old.
His education was continued at Lazarus
seminary, in Perry county, Missouri, near
St. Louis. He was consecrated to the
priesthood in 1907, and lived ten years at
the cathedral, in st. Paul. He took
charge of st. Mary's parish in 1867, and
has been there ever since. This is one Of
the strongest parishes in the city, and its
building up is the result Of the executive
ability, piety and learning OF Father
Caillet. His promotion is we'll merited.
