IN TEARS 1T THE
PROSPECT Of
LEAVING PARISH

Fitchburg, Mas. June 19--With tears
coursing their way down his cheeks at
the thought OF leaving the parish whcn
owes much OF its present strength TO the
labors OF his head and heart. Rev Daniel
II. Feehan. pastor OF St. Bernard's Ro-
man Catholic church, cried like child
here yesterday at the prospect OF leaving
this city In order 10 assume his new du-
ties as the head OF the Fall River See as
its bishop.
1T simply can't be true" declared
Bshop-elect Feehan when he received the
news from Rome that he had been APP
pointed by the pope 10 succeed Bishop
William Stang In the FAN River See. Il
hope there has been a mistake. The
thought OF leaving ST. Bernard's is un-
bearable."
Throughout the city of Fitchburg
among Protestants as well as among
those of iBshop-elect Feehan's new relg-
ious faith, expressions of sorrow and OF
q sense OF loss In the departure of FIR.
the announcement OF his appointment as
bishop and his prospective removal 20
Fall River became known. Throughout
the course OF his labors In st. Bernards
parish embracing a period, almost un-
broken OF % years, his standing as cit
iZen OF Fitchburg has been the highest
while In the performance of his pastoral
gan, now bishop OF Siox Falls. and later
as the permanent rector of st. Bernard's.
he has endeared himself TO every man,
woman and child in his great parish.
Particularly among the children is FIR.
Feehan loved. for he has lavished much
attention upon the training Of the little
ones OF the parish, a duty in which he
found extreme joy For years he has
been a frequent visitor at the schools of
the city in his capacity as a citizen and
there are few children in Fitchburg who
do not know and love the whte-haired
priest who has been so solicitous 10
their welfare, whether they were OF his
parish or of other faiths.
When FIR. Feehan first came TO st. Ber-
nard's curate there were less than 300j
persons I'm the parish. Within the same
limits there are now five prosperous par
ishes, embracing more than 10000 commu-
nicants. The French Canadians OF the
Fall River diocese will find friend In
Fr. Feehan. He speaks French fiuently
and is particularly well liked by the COM
municants OF Canadian nativity in this
city
cause in which the bishop-elect has
shown more than passing activity during
his life In Fitchburg has been the ad-
vancement Of temperance. He is known
as one of the most ardent and successful
temperance speakers in the Springfield
diocese.
Although his hair is frosted, FIR. Feehan
Is a man OF splendid physique and Is
pleasant and vivacious In his manner. 1t
is expected that the first official notih-
cation OF FIR. Feehan's appointment In
the diocese over which he will preside
will be to MgT. Hugh smythe of New
vicar general of the diocese.
