PRIEST FOR NORTH DIES MONIES
Rev. Father MuIvehllI of AdaIr Is
Appointed.
HAGBERG G. HARRINGTON,
1924 East Main st.

Des MONIES. April 14.-Rev. Father
Daniel F. Mulvehill of Adair, has been
appointed pastor of the New North
Des Moines Catholic parish. He was
in Des Moines yesterday to consult
Very Rev. Father M. Flavin of St.
Ambrose church and some of the lead
ing laymen. He will come to Des
Moines on April 80, and assume
charge. May he will Immediately
begin the organization of the new
parish and make arrangements for
the erection of church. Until
temporary quarters may be secured
or the new ediflce built, the North
Des MONIES Catholics will continue to
worship at st. Ambrose.
Rev. Father Mulvehill yesterday ex-
pressed his opinion that the site at
Nineteenth and University avenue
which had. been considered was not a
good location for the new church. He
is DESTROYS of securing location more
central for the parish and one that will
b eof easy access from all parts Of the
parish considering the future growth
of that section of the city. An option
had been secured on the site at Nine
teenth and University which is owned
by Mr.. Casady of Norwalk.
The selection Of Rev Father Mulve-
hill for the new parish Is. gratifying to
the leading laymen. He was well
known in Des Moines. He has been
stationed at Adair for the past eight
years. He was formerly at st. Am
brose college in Davenport.
No appointment has yet been made
for the new South Des Moines parish,
considerable difficulty being encoun-
tered in the attempt to secure priest
who is proficient in Italian and En-
glish.
Rev. Father Robert Nolan, of Mich
OILS, formerly of Ottumwa, will proba-
bly, succeed Father Mulvehill at Adair
