 Effective July 2Sth
 The appointments made by Bishop McAuliffe take effect on Saturday, July 2Sth. It is seldom in diocesan history that priests stationed here now or previously or who have many contacts in this city have been transferred or promoted in such large numbers. All of the priests mentioned are all well-known in this section Of the state.
 Rev E. J. Brennan
 Chief in importance to Water- bury is the loss of Rev Edward J. Brennan, who came here "A years ago this fall to organize and build the now flourishing St Margarets s parish. His contributions to the civic and religious life of the city have been many and varied. There have been but few worthwhile en- terprises which have not won his active and continued support. 4 Most remarkable and most uraiseworthy has been his success in guiding the growth of his church. Tn the "A years of his pastorate he has seen the once infant parish expand beyond the fondest dreams \ of it's early members.
 N The Rev Edward J. Brennan is a native of New Haven, being born 4here September 2S. 1866. After re- ceiving his early education in the public grammar schools. he entered < St Charles college in Ellicott City, Maryland, for the study of the classics. His courses in pilosophy and theology were made at St Mary's Seminary, Baltimore. He was ordained at the Cathedral in Baltimore on December 22, 1894.
 The following January he was assigned as curate at St Francis church in Torrington. Six years later, on February 27. 1901. he was named assistant at St Johns, New {, Haven. In the fall of that year he enrolled as a chaplain in the United States navy, and continued for the next eight years, returning to the diocese in August, 1909 He was appointed temporary adminis- trator of St Johns. Noroton. in March, 1910, and few months later became pastor of the newly formed st Margaret's parish in Waterbury.
 Father Brennan, to Waterbury, represents a pastor 'tof the old school" Always close at hand to him have been the lives of his uarishioners; each communicant at his church became his devoted friend. His going means a loss to { Waterbury and to St Margaret's church.
 Rev w. J. O'Shea
 Perhaps no other priest in the dioceses, however, is so we'll euuipped to handle the destinies of st Margaret's as Father Brennan's successor than Rev William J. o. Shea, now pastor of St MichacIs church in the Waterville section, and brother of Rev Francis M O. Shea, administrator of the church of the Immaculate Conception.
 Al native of Deep River. the Rev william J. O'Shea received his 4fammar and high school training {here, passing thence to Niagara |Hnfversity, Niagara Falls, New Ifork. for his college course. He studied philosophy at Bastonge, Belgium, and theology at the American College, Louvain, Bei- &iuna. His ordination took place &f st Joseph's cathedral, Hartford, Sn May q. 1908.
