Bishop Rafferty Gets Cheque For Seminary At C.W.L. Rally
Father Fahey Is 50 Years A Priest One of the most learned and popular priests of the Archdiocese celebrated his sacerdotal golden jubilee on May 25. He is the V. Rev. John Fahey, R.I., D.S.O., parish priest of Cottesloe. Father Fahey is a noted theologian and serves as diocesan examiner in dogma and as a diocesan consul-
tor. He is also a profound classical scholar, whose attainments do not conceal an exquisite sense of humour and a rapier -like wit.
Father Fahey's popularity stems alike from a charitable disposition and an extraordinarily fine record in World War I, in the course of which his chaplaincy and valour earned him memberIn his address which in- ship of the Distinguished augurated the afternoon Service Order.
