The herald., 1918-06-27


the people of the parish had the un-
usual pleasure and honor OF having
one of their own young men ascend
the altar and offer the sacrifice of the
mass in a solemn manner for himself
and for them. The young priest was
assisted by Rev. Father Cassagne. 1t
was for Father Cassagne case or
return of past favors, for few years
ago the young priest was an altar boy
of the Holy Name of Mary Church and
in this capacity assisted the present
acting pastor of the parish in saying
mass many times. Rev. Butin, S. NJ,
| d. D., who taught Father Howe Scrip
ture at Marist College, Washington,
d. c., was deacon, and Rev. Father
M. ]. Larkin, S. NJ, classmate OF
his, was subdeacon. Ed Stenger and
Willie Judge were acolytes, Harold
Healy was censor bearer, Lawrence
| Gerretts was cross bearer and 1gna-
thus Stenger was assistant master of
ceremonies. These are all old-time
friends of Father Howe. Very Rev.
T. ]. Larkin, s. NJ, preached the SER
mon. He extolled the dignity Of the
priesthood, from the idea that he is
the ambassador of Christ. He ex-
planned the qualities and requirements
| necessary to become a good. active
and God-fearing priest, and then he
gave credit and praise to the young
priest who had labored and studied
and prayed for so many years to pre-
pare himself for the great work that is
now ahead of him. He assured the
people that, judging from the record
that the young priest had made during
his long years of studies, for piety
and learning and activity, there was
no doubt but that he would make
name for himself; that he would be
source Of pride and consolation to
mother and family, a credit to his
friends. and most useful member
of the Society of Mary.
The church was filled to overflow
ing, thereby showing the appreciation
of the parish for the great honor con-
ferred upon it on this occasion.
In the evening a surprise was given
Father Howe. when he was called out
on the porch for a few moments and
presented with beautiful gold
chalice, the gift of his friends and ad-
mirers. His Honor, Mayor Behrman,
made the presentation speech. He
expressed himself very happily and
wished the young priest success and
happiness in his new field of labor
Father Cassagne also made a speech
in his usual strong and witty style
Father Howe, S. NJ, calm and COL
lected, accepted the token of love Of
fered him by his friends and thanked
them from the bottom of his heart
for the pleasure given him on this
great day in his life by his friends of
the Holy Name of Mary parish.
1t was a great day, one long to be
remembered, and one that should en-
courage more of our young men to
prepare themselves for a life that is
given up to such noble purpose and
doing good to men.
