A Venerable Prelate.

We find in the New Orleans
Picayune of last Sunday N Interest,"
ing account Of the golden jubilee Of
Rev. Father G. f. Mittelbronn, a
Catholic priest who was stationed
here in 1850 and 1852 and is still
remembered by some Of our older
citizens. "Fifty years of priestly
life! Fifty years of noble self-scarific-
ing labor in the masters vineyard
such was the golden rosary of years
that the venerable Father Mittel-
bronn, of St. Rose de Lima's church,
counted on Wednesday, Aug. 10.
To few priests is it given to reach this
honored milestone for the life of the
priest is a hard and laborlous one,
and years of continued effort will tell
On the strongest constitution. To
few again is it given to count the
golden years with such a beautiful
record as that which stands to the
credit of the beloved Father Mittel-
bronn. In July, 1850, the diocese of
New Orleans became an archdiocese,
and Bishop Blanc became the first
archbishop. On the feast of the
Assumption, Aug. Is, 1850, Father
Mittelbronn was ordained a priest by
Archbishop Blanc in st. Mary's
church, which is attached to the arch
bishopric in this city. Giving him.
self wholly to God, he asked nothing
better than to be sent where no vas
most needed, and in few days after
his ordination he was sent to the
parish of st. John the Baptist as as
sistant Of the venerable Father
Modesto Vita Nina. He remained
in this ancient parish six months,
when he was scent to AbbeVille, La,
and after serving here for two years
he was made pastor of the parish of
Pointe Coupee. Polnte Coupee was
then an immense parish and covered
a large area. The earnest young
priest set to work to make it q model
parish. During thirteen years Of
faithful work in this ancient Creole
parish, he won the love and esteem of
all with whom he came in contract.
