 Among this great gathering of pre- lates and priests, which space does not permit to print all names of those present, we find among them the tor of St Johns, at Onawa, la, and who for many years labored at St Roses Roman Catholic church here, as curate under the present rector, Rev Patrick Fox. The parishioners of St Roses as we'll as the many friends he made during his stay here, will be pleased to learn that since his change to the Western diocese that he is now pastor in the diocese of Sioux City, la., under Right Rev P. J. Garrigan, and is in charge of the lOna- wa parish, which also includes three llOurshing missions, viz Blencoe, Monroe County, Whiting, Monona County, and Hornick, Woodbury County.E Since being in charge of this parish for the past three years, the zealOusly and has brought about the erection of a new church ln Blencoe, Ia., and although the congregation is scattered and not large, either a veal thy one, their interest and zeal has never Jagged in the determination to assist their loving pastor. This little church is one of the neatest in the missions which for decades will remain a monument to his zeal and enter prise and pride to his people, and one of the most joyous events that ever took place in this little village, was the dedication of this church, on October 2, 1903, by the Right Rev Bishop P. J. Garrison of Sioux City. In the other mission at Hornick, the little chapel under his direction is be- ing thoroughly renovated and the pa rishioners are looking forward with pleasant anticipation to the re-dedica- tion of thiS little church, which will be one of the ncatest in the diocese. At his home parish the Rev Pastor has already purchased a site for another stately ediiCe which bids will soon be let. The best possible condition now prevails and with an increase of spirit ual interest for which the Rev pastor so earnestly works, it will only be a matter of time before new and more fitting place of worship will be erect ed It is the earnest desire of his pa rishioners, friends and relatives there that the Rev Pastor will decide to re- main with them and become perma nent rector at St Johns and the mis sions of OnaWa. When his old parish. toners here, learn these tidingS of one who labored here, and so long among them they will surely congratulate hin thousand times on his great and no ble work.and his many successful un dertakings.- [*
