Promotion Of Father
 NihiII Is Pleasing
 To His Parishioners

Rev. James B. NihilI, pastor of St. Patrick's R. c. church, and who mas been appointed permanent rector or St. Augustine's church by Bishop NJ Ian, will assume his duties at his new parish in the course of a week or so-
 The appointment Of Father Nihiu to St. Augustine's is a Ge1ing recognition of his untiring work in the building up of St. Patrick's parish from few scattered inhabitants to one of the best parishes in the city.
 A few months ago. St. Patricks par ish celebrated it's silver jubilee and this was a Joyous occasion for the present pastor who. after 25 years of strenu- ous and unremitting labor. saw his work completed in the erection of one of the finest and most beautiful, edi- fees in New England.
 When Father Nihill first assumed rectorship of St Patrick's parish. he had no church in which to say mass His home was on Lindley street and on every Sunday through the courtesy of the city officials he was granted the privilege of saying mass at the Grand street school. He celebrated mass there for a year or so when in the year 1890 the late Bishop McGahon laid the cornerstone of the basement structure of St. Patrick's parish. Two masses were celebrated in the church every Sunday by the pastor. In the spring of 1908 the pastor announced that the work of building a new church would be started very shortly.
 A year later, in the early part of June, the cornerstone Of the super structure was laid by Bishop Milan with impressive ceremonies. The work on the new structure proceeded livery rapidly under Father Nihilrs careful guidance
 l On November g. 1913. Bishop Milan dedicated and blessed it's sacred walls The day of the dedication was su- prerne joy to Father NihiII. First the work that he had started was com pieted after an arduous struggle and secondly the priest who celebrated the solemn mass and those who assisted him were former altar boys of the par ish
 I The people of St Patriclz.s parisE tregret very much to see their belovee Ipastor leave them but since it means Ia deserved promotion for him aftel
 many years of toll, sacrifice and self. ldeniaI they are eIated to think thai
 the bishop has honored one so richly deserving. His many friends wisf
 him many years of success and hap
 piness inIhis new parish.
