-lOP OCONNOR OFFICATES AT MASS IN
:. and n1cELEBRATIoN OF COMPLETION OF E. o. CHURCH.
FoUr

of the Newark Roman Catholic Diocese,
discussed the relationship existing among
the East Orange people, as exempllned by
the presence at dinner of Mayor william
Cardwell, of that city; Judge James b.
Dill, of the New Jersey Court of Errors
and Appeals; the priests of the church ana
laymen who We're guests of the Rev. John
p. CallaghaD, rector of the Church OF our
Lady Help OF Christians, after the solemn
mass of thanksgiving at the church, the
tall splre of which was recently compleleo,
yesterday morning. The men assembled IN
the old parish church, which was dtscon-
tinued as a religious edihce when the
handsome new marble structure was
reared, and an excellent menu was dls-
cussed by the guests. Bishop OConnor
congratulated Father Callaghan. upon the
successful work he had accomplished, ana
the beloved rector followed with z hrie1
address, In which he spoke Of the pleasure
and qualification he enjoyed at the COM
pletion of the church.
Bishop O'Connor in his talk said further:
The church is doing what the beautiful
spire. pointing ~heayenward,, symponzes,
stand here in beautiful East Orange, point
ing the way to heaven"
Father Callaghan in his address ex-
words, and said it was the aim and am
bition of every Catholic priest to build a
church. All build spiritual churches, he
stated, but not all are fortunate enough to
edifices.
A pleasant feature Of the dinner was a
reunion held by the Rev. Father Maurice
p. O'Connor, rector of the Church of the
Holy Cross. Harrison. with some former
parishioners. The priest twenty-five years
ago was pastor of the then little parish,
and he remembered many of the men
whom he had known in their younger life.
The priest also told the reason for selecting
the name Our Lady Help OF Christians
for the church. A non-Catholic had been
taken to st. Michael's Hospital mortally
injured. He was a railroad engineer ana
had been injured in a wreck, and the
priest on his rounds met him and consoled
him. Father O'Connor went away after
spending some time with him and prayed
for the poor fellow, whose life was fast
ebbing away On the day following the
man asked to be admitted to the Catholic
Church, and after giving him instruction
Father O'Connor baptized the dying man.
The following morning the victim died
and Father O'Connor suggested to the late
Bishop Wigger that as he had prayed to
the Mother of God for the conversion OF
the man to Catholicism and the prayer had
been answered that the East Orange par
ish should be named Our Lady Help OF
Christians, n the bishop acquiesced.
