 Speakers declared that regardless of how high Father Lynch goes on the journey of life. he can always look back on the parish of Mt. Carmel in this city as his best work. He was lauded by fellow clergy men, judges, doctors, lawyers, city officials, newspapermen, civic lead CTS, and by the officials of the socie- ties which he organized, and by rep rcsentativeS of the children of the parish whom he loves so dearly.
 ParishiOners Represented
 In his talk which climaxed the evening, Father Lynch declared that whatever has been done on Town Plot is due to the creditable work of the parishioners who supported him in whatever he decided to do. He said that the charities of the parish during the depression were commendable. The parish, he said, has supported 93 families from its own budget. Father Lynch en- phaticaly stated that during his pastorate there were little difficult ties which were settled quickly. He asserted that he had always con- sidered the welfare of all of his flock, not his friends, not any cer- tain few. In so doing he said some may have been displeased at times but even in the life of Christ 1t was proven that 1t is impossible to please everyone all the while. "In all my priestly career, he said, never ex- pect to meet better class of people. It is hard to say goodbye to you who have meant 50 much to me, but since the bishop has told me that this parish reflects credit to the diocese, am satisfied that you par ishioners and friends have done your work well. I urge you to con- tinue, and to pray for me-"
 The sentiment of the parishioners were explained thoroughly by At torney Michael J. Galullo, who has been 6 trustee of the parish since the time of its organization. He said that the church was in sound financial standing, thanks to Father Lynch who would not accept dol- lar of his meager salary if it could be used in the church. When Father Lynch later in the evening was pregsnted with purse which he offered to leave with the parish, it was Attorney Galullo who asked that the pastors last request be refused as a Darting gesture.
