Heehas been faf f,sI t;y;p his parishioners by whom he is be- loved and was held in high esteem by people outside his parish as well.
 The young priest. immediately after his assignment in the Silver City. be- came a great help to the pastor. Father Ceppa, in the church affairs. He organized the St. Stanislaus Boys club and St. stanisaus Alumni and also reorganized the Silver City Fife and Drum corps.
