Forty Hours Devotion
 Closes Impressively
MOnsignOr, Over Forty Priests Take Part in Solemn
 Exercises at St. StanisIaus KOstka Church

Rt. Rev. Monsignor gtanislaus Musil of Hartford headed Q delega- ton of more than forty Polish priests who took part last evening in one of the most impressive church ceremonies witnessed in Wa. terbury in recent years. The exer- cises climaxed the Forty Hours De- votion, which opened last Sunday morning in St. Stanislaus Kostka church, and which has been the iil- spiration for pilgrimage for hun- dreds of devoted worshippers from all sections of the city. Special masses and special evening services were held Sunday and Monday.
 Last evening 1t is estimated that more than 1000 persons witnessed the closing ceremonies. Members of the various church societies joined with the clergy, consisting of over two-score of priests, in the solemn procession. The latter took part in the chanting of the Litany of Saints.
 Rev. Theophilus Kotowslsl of Moodus was celebrant; Monsignor Musil arch priest; Rev. Marion Kar- acki of Hartford and Rev. Walter Kiczuk of Ansonia, deacons. The sermon was preached by Rev. Ber- nard Nielowcki of Derby. Rev. John Balasa, pastor, and Rev. Walter Sier- acki, assistant pastor, also took part in the ceremonies.
 Reports on the recent Polish Cler- ical Conference in Detroit were given by Very Rev. Anthony Mazurkiewicz of New Haven, were given ct 8 supp per for the clergy held prior to the church services. Two Polish priests who escaped capture by the Nazis when the latter invaded Poland were in attendance.
 Father Balasa was congratulated on the splendid attendance during the Forty Hours and on the spir. itual manifestation of his parish- toners.
