REV. FATHER LEAHY WILL
RETURN TO WORK IN WEST

WOODBRIDGE, Jan. 20. - Rev.
William p. Leahy. who has been
spending a month here with his par
ents Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Leahy in
255 Green street, will leave for his
parish in Quinn. So. OAK, tomorrow
morning. He viii be accompanied
by Timothy Ronayne, of Wasta, So
Oak.
This is Rev. Father Leahy's first
charge and he is devoting his time
to missionary work. The parish at
Quinn is a poor one and although
there is food aplenty, money is
scarce. When he left for his visit
here, Rev Father Leahy. was busy
building a rectory. for his parish. A
few days ago he was informed that
a fire had visited the town and $125
worth of the lumber to be used in
the new rectory had been destroyed.
This means a renewed struggle when
Father Leahy returns. but never
theless he is hopeful that the rectory
will be erected according to schedule.
Rev. Father Leahy is a former
resident of Perth Amboy, his parents
having lived in that city while he at
tended st. Mary's Parochial school
there. Before leaving for his parish
in South Dakota, Father Leahy de-
sires to thank those persons who
have contributed to aid the work in
his parish.
