pastoral charge of Brussel congrega-

(liras was resorted to bin :—
RossDEAR FATHER.—We, your
parishioners of the congregation of
Brussels church, have . heard with
much regret that you have given no
the charge of - this pnrtion of your
parish which His Lordship our Bishop
is about to constitute nudely another
pastor.
\•Ve do not by any algals doubt or
call into question the wisdom or be-
nevolent intentions of the Bishop in
making this change, which we accept
with submission, nevertheless, we
cannot help recognizing our great loss
when we are being deprived of the
precious services of a devoted and
self-saorificing priest'. who for dearly
ten;yeftrs has exerted all his energies
toward advancing our interests, both
spiritual and temporal.
During the past decade you have
made many sacrifices, driving a long
distance over rough roads, and in the
most inclement .weather to
preserve
ve
the Faith 'milting us by giving ie the
opportunity to' assist at the holy
sacrifice of tbemass,'aud :to profit by
your eitoeliett.and eloquent instruc-
tions Olt, Christian : doctrine, much
more' frequently than we were entitled
to and without any adequate retnrn
on our part. Your zeal has been
manifested in the manner in which
you have kept our church supplied
with all things needed for Divine ser'•
viceiu the paternal care with which
you have •iustructed the children of
this congregation in the faith once de-
livered to the saints and iii the extra
Devotions you 'have provided for us,
especially on the Festivals when all
Catholics are exp kcte
!, lel or required
P q to
mance manifest their• faith byreceiving
the sacramenIs. g
You have also greatly improved and
beautified our church and church
pretnises aid made provisionfor our
spiritual welfare by establishing the
Altar Society ; the League of etlle
Sacred Heart and Holy Nance Society,
all of which will greatly contribute
towardsnourishing the faith and piety
of the congregation.
We wouldgladly art this occasion
make it special offering to you lir
testimony of otic affection and respect
but we have learned that it is not your
wish that we should do so. We aye
obliged, therefor 110 muwtantill nan'selves
