FarewelltoFatherReidy,Bridgetown

Thesaddeathsoftwoofourpriests havealreadycausedmanychangesand manytransfers,anditwaswithfeelingsofdeepregretthatthepeopleof BridgetownlearnedrecentlyoftheintentionofHisGracetheArchbishopto transferFatherReidyfromtheirmidst tothecityparishofMidlandJunction. Justtwomonthsago,inthemostunostentatiousmannerpossible,Father Reidycelebratedthe25th.anniversary ofhisordinationtothepriesthood.Of those25yearsnineteenhehaspassed, andpassedveryhappily,ashehimself testified,intheglorioussurroundings ofhillsandvalleys,andappleorchards ofBridgetown.Atthetimeofhis appointment,in1911,hewasapparentlybynomeansinrobusthealth,but onethinghewasblessedwith,and thatwasanabundantsupplyofenergy.Fortunatehewas,too,inbeing thesuccessorofapriestofthezealof Father.PatBrennan.Impatientof delay,FatherReidywassooninharness,andfirst*bysulky,and,laterby car,muchofhistimewasspentonthe road.Howmanythousandmileshe musthavetravelledduringthe19years onlyhehimselfcantell.Atonetime ahughpileofemptypetroltinsgave somesmallindication,tilltimeand petrolbowsersrobbedusevenofthat sourceofmeasurement.Aparishof 80milesfromendtoend,intheextremityoftheSouth-West,withthe severityofitswinterincoldandrain, wasnoeasyone,evenforthestrongestman;and,hardestpartofall,for yearswhenhedidreturnfromhis journeystohiscentreatBridgetown, therewasnotmuchcomfortawaiting himintheoldshantythatgloriedin thenameofthepresbytery.Itsroof madeunsuccessfulattemptstokeep outtherain;ofastormynightthe windwhistledthroughthecrevicesbetweentheboards.Since1922,when theparishgrewsobigthatithadto bedividedintwo,andManjimupand.

Norwasitonlyintheir"Easter Duty"thatthemenofNewYork showedtheirdevotionandfaith.The churches"down-town"-or,aswe shouldsayinLondon,the"citychurches'-were businesscrammedtothedoorswith menatthedailymiddayMass, celebratedtogivethemanopportun- ityofexercisingtheirdevotiontothe HolySacrificeduringthelunchtimeintervalfrombusiness.ThoughI didnotpersonallystayuporgetup toinspect,Iheardgreataccountsof thecrowdsatMassescelebratedbefore dawntoenableprinters,newspaper men,andothernight-workerstohear Massbeforegoingoffhometobed.
