Father Gallant Vicar General, Juneau Diocese

The Reverend G. Edgar Gallant, pastor of Skagway, has been ap- pointed Vicar General of the new Diocese of Juneau, it has been announced by the Most Reverend Dermot O'Flanagan, Bishop of Ju- neau.
 The Vicar General is the highest official in a diocese. He has juris- diction over the entire diocese in spiritual and temporal matters to the extent of the bishops ordinary jurisdiction, except in those mat ters which the bishop reserves to himself or which by church law require a special mandate from the bishop. He governs the diocese when the bishop is absent. By virtue of his office he merits the title Right Reverend Monsignor.
 Monsignor Gallant is the senior priest of the diocese in years of service. He was ordained in Juneau in 1918 by the late Bishop Joseph R.. Crimont, s. J., and has been pastor of Skagway throughout most of the 33 years since then. He was born in Prince Edward Island, Can- ada, in 1894, and is naturalized U. s. citizen. tlf

Ann, about 70 children have been cared for each year at the mission since it opened in 1892. A disastrous fire destroyed the mission in 1945, making it neces- sary for the Sisters and children to live in old army barracks for more than two years. Monsignor Gallant has completely rebuilt the mission, almost doubling its form CT capacity.
 In addition to his new duties as Vicar General, Monsignor Gallant will continue to direct the parish and mission at Skagway. His as- sistant there is the Reverend Ray mond w. Mosey.
