which contains an account Of a Cath

Very favorable mention is made Of
the pastor Rev. Father Aid. The
Express says: Wednesday evening
Father Aid gave short lecture on
The Ideal Young Man. Father
Aid is highly educated, mild manner
ed, and very impressive speaker
The success Of the
fair is largely due to his efforts. 1t
is stated, on authority, that the Cath
olics will shortly build new and
handsome cdifcc on the site OF the
of the present church. Father Aid
is. without question, one OF the most
popular pastors ever at st. Mary $,
