New Britain Presents Purse to Rev. J. w. Barry Now
 of Canaan

The following account of the fare we'll reception given to Rev. J. w. Barry by his former parishioners at New Britain, last week, appeared in the Hartford Courant:
 Rev. Joseph W. Barry, pastor of the Catholic Church in North Ca naan, formerly curate at St. Mary's Church in New Britain and princi- pal of St. Mary's Parochial School, was given a farewell reception at St. Mary's Church Thursday even ing and was given S1,000, of which $143 was contributed by the school children. The remainder was given by St. Mary's congregation. William Watson and Miss Helen Lynch of the class of 1920 presented the mon ey from the school children. Thomas w. Pagan, senior trustee of the church, made the presentation on behalf of the church.
 Father Winters, pastor of St. Mary's Church, expressed to Father Barry the we'll wishes of the con- gregation. The people of this parish will miss Father Barry, said Father Winters, because the two years of his curacy here were crowded with useful work, and the school children, too, will feel his absence because of his work among them. Father Barry thanked the children and the congregation for the gift and ex- pressed appreciation of the spirit in which it is given. He found a warm welcome in North Canaan, he said, and feels that he will be pleased with his new field.
