For Sixty Years.-Richard Murphy
bass singer at ST. James Church, Bos.
ton, more than sixty years, sang his
last Mass Sunday, July q, and on
! Wednesday babe farewell to his
friends of the parish, many of whom
he has watched grow from infancy to
old age. The veteran soloist, who has
been singing in one long uninterrupted
career for great many years, will
spend the remainder Of his days in
the quiet of a pleasant home in the
suburbs. During his long period of
service in the Catholic churches of
the city the aged singer has made the
enviable record of not missing a Sun

Nonagenarian Pastor.-Very Rev.
Dean William McNulty, Grand Old
Man of Paterson, N. j., whose record
of sixty-two years priest and fifty
six years rector of St. John Church,
probably is not equalled by any other
clergyman of the day, has reached his
ninetieth birthday anniversary, and
all Paterson is celebrating the event
Catholics from all parts of New Jer-
sey are also observing the anniversary
and joining with the members of ST.
John parish in making big success
of the celebration given in honor of
the deans birthday. Dean McNulty,
who is probably the best known Catho-
lie priest in New Jersey, is still in fine
health and active head of st. John
parish, which is one of the largest in
the state. He attributes his longevity
to regular hours, plenty of sleep and
moderate eating.
To Enlarge Academy.-The Sisters
of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
at Boulder, Colo, are preparing to
make great Increase in the capacity
of Mount St. Gertrudes academy.
Plans are being drawn by a Denver
architect for an extension of the pres
ent building, as we'll as for a chapel
and auditorium, to be located in a
building separate from the main
academy, but connected with it by
passageway. This latter structure will
also connect with the convent bunga-
low nearby. 1t is only several years
since the Sisters increased the size of
their academy, but the institution is
growing so rapidly that it is impera-
tive for them to get more room. So
many applications from prospective
boarding students have been received
in recent months that the work must
be rushed through as soon as possible.
Sister Oswald is head of the school.
