pr. MOore's Farewell To PariShIOnerS In
 New Britain Church

The Rev. pr. Moore, new pastor of the sacred Heart parish, moved many of his New Britain parishioners to tears when on Sunday he bade them a touching farewell pr. Moore is ac- counted one of the most gifted pulpit orators in the Diocese of Hartford. He said:
 My Dear Brethren: = With the reading of this brief report ends my administration of St. Joseph's parish. The voice of authority has called me to the Sacred Heart church of Bridge port, where larger labors and graver responsibilities must enlist my best energies for the glory tof Cpd and the salvation of souls. MPenefrated as l am with a due sense of its sacred inn portance I humbIy ask your united prayers for that heavenly wisdom and strength without which there can be no appreciable measure of success. I leave you indeed with the sincerest re- grets, and with a profound sense of gratitude for your devotion to me per sonally, also for your parish 1oy- alty and what is of the supremest inn 2 portance-for the noble and generous sacrifices so frequently made by you for God and Mother Church. Some consolation, indeed, will be mine if, in my new field of labor, I chance to find a people as good and devoted as you have proved yourselves to be.
 
 nay almost improbable to meet any where a people of similar numbers and means with a better parish record. During 4he- seventeen years, that it was my pleasure to have labored among you. your loyal cooperation with me in every parish enterprise has become a matter of public note and comment This, in very truth, was the secret of your many successes. It gave me, be assured, the enthusiasm 9ecesSary to undertake many a bold venture and the necessary fortitude to master tn many crosses and losses that are ever incidental to the hum ble beginnings of a newly formed parish. Your sympathetic help, forsooth, was especially marked in the cradle-days {. of St. Joseph's, when, without a home for God and without a home for His J priest, I had to make frequent and repeated demands upon your reSour- ces and bountiful was your generosity. This notwithstanding, when the debt on the church lot had been paid there was the stupendous debt of thirty-one thousand dollars to greet you when you entered your new and beautiful church However you were not dis heartened. Its artistic attractiveness and its many spiritual beauties and comforts served only to heighten your enthusiasm and deepen your generos- ity. In a few short years you saw this heavy mbrance half paid Then with a courage born of heaven you were ready to spurchase new land and to inaugurate@ aSnevF work that 1: was vital to the future life and faith of your children and incidentally tn that of the entire parish. As a re- suit, a convent-home for the teaching sisters was built and with the open ing of the parochial school there dawned upon the parish a new era of Catholic faith and life.
 After an experience of a decade of years. ~we3 have Fvftnessed it's spiritual results if the edffying piety and de- vetiOn of the children. no less than
