FATHER cASEY'S
SILVER JUBILEE.
Pastor Of Worlds Fair Parish Re-
ceives Addresses From Clergy
and His Parishioners.

The Reverend Father Edmund
A. Casey, surrounded by promi-
nent clergy of this city. including
the Archbishop, and many from
out of town, Sunday celebeated
the twenty fifth anniversary of
his ordination with ceremonies
that covered almost the entire day.
during the course of which the
clergy presented him with purse
of $500 and the parishioners gave
him an elaborateiy ornamented
parchment scroll bearing an adj
dress.
Father Casey became especially
well known during the Exposition
on account of the fact that his
parish included the Worlds Fair
grounds, and he became per-
ally acquainted with most of
the exposition people, having
long been a personal friend of
Governor Francis.
Father Casey was ordained
Trinity Sunday, twenty five years
ago, at ST. Patrick's College,
Carlow, Ireland, and came to
America soon after his entry into
the ministry, and was assigned to
the missions of Northwest Mis-
souri,, following closely in the
footsteps of Father D. S. Phelan,
the present editor of the Western
Waterman.
Solemn high mass, sung by
Father Casey. opened the exer-
cises at 10 a. M, at which Father
Joseph S. English, who was
graduated last year in Rome, and
who is relative of Father Casey,
acted as master of ceremonies.
Father Casey has served under
three Archbis shops-Kenrick, Kain
and the present incumbent.
Archbishop Glennon. Father
Casey has spent considerable time
at Monroe, Shelbina, Hunnewell
and Lakenan, Mo-, doing pioneer
work in each place and establish
ing new churches in several Of
these towns.
During the afternoon Father
Casey was kept busy receiving
congratulations from friends,
many of whom had come from his
former country parishes to wish
him well on the occasion of his
silver jubilee.-St. Louis Republic.
Father Casey had charge of the
parish at this place some eight or
ten years ago and is well known
here.
