in 1845. He was ordained a Catholic priest in Buffalo, New York in 1849 and his first
assignment was to become the first permanent pastor at “Church in the Woods,” later
becoming Mother of Sorrows Church at the corner of Mt Read Blvd and Latta Road.

Autographed copies of his book will be available for $11.00 (including tax)
