GOLDEN JUBILEE OF THE RIGHT REV. J. E. FITZMAURICE.
AN IRISH-AMERICAN BISHOP. HIGHLY HONOURED.
We take with pleasure the following excerpts from an American contemporary to hand, namely, "The Erie (P.A) Daily Times," whose columns are teeming with extravagant eulogiums and appreciative records of the Right Rev. J. E Fitzmaurice, Bishop of the diocese of Erie, P.A., U.S.A., who, we might mention, is the brother to the highly-respected and esteemed occupant and proprietor of Ballydonoghue House, Tarbert, as well as of Mrs Scanlon, of Leitrim, Newtownsandes, and consequently the distinguished uncle of her popular son, Mr John F Scanlon:—
"To-day (16th Oct) the Catholic Bishop of Erie, Right Rev John E Fitzmaurice, D.D., celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood in the presence of one of the most notable gatherings the city has ever seen, and with the greetings and congratulations of the city’s foremost men still ringing in his ears and warming his heart for the wish of each one who spoke- the words of felicitation at the public reception hold last evening was so evidently sincere and straight from the heart that it must have brought to the recipient a pleasure that will linger many years. For fourteen years the Right Rev John E. Fitzmaurice has held the highest ecclesiastical office in the diocese of Erie, and these years have been seasons of progress and activity, of high aims and splendid achievements. The diocese has marched steadily forward each year, seeing new work accomplished, new burdens added to those already borne, new plans for developing and expanding the very effective work done week by week month by month, and year by year. In every work that has, meant betterment of the conditions in his diocese or for the community. Bishop Fitzmaurice has lent his influence and his means. "With a breadth of vision that saw not alone the good of the moment, but the need of the future he studied the problems that confronted him in the years of heavy work that have passed, and when his decision in each matter was readied it was found to be a just one an able one, and one that built for time to come as well as giving encouragement to the workers of the present. Bishop Fitzmaurice came a stranger to his people, and his fourteen years with them as bishop and religious leader have taught them his fine worth, his great ability, his kindliness, his firmness and the great nobility of his character. It is with a sincere appreciation of his gifts, and his works, that his people united in making the Golden Jubilee of his ordination the greatest event in his life, a celebration that will remain in the memory of all as a very great and a very wonderful occasion and will bring to him whom they honour the message of Joy—loyalty and affection. The Right Rev John E. Fitzmaurice, Erie’s fourth bishop, was born in Newtownsandes, Co. Kerry, Ireland, in February, 1837, and is one of four brothers who have devoted their lives to the service of the Master in His Church. At the age of 15 he entered a law office in Dublin, and four years pursued his studios in the law. In 1839 he came to this country, and giving up the profession he had chosen, listened to a higher call to the priesthood. Ordained Dec 22 1862.

GIFTED YOUNG PRIEST DEAD REV. THOMAS F. TROY PASSES AWAY.
(From The "New World," Chicago).
When the death of Rev. Thomas F. Troy, assistant pastor of Our Lady of the Angels, was announced last week it brought genuine sorrow to the hearts of the host of friends who loved and admired him for his many splendid qualities of head and heart: A scholar, a poet, a linguist, a historian, and above ail, true priest of God, of high, pure and lovable character, he was a man whose career was unfolding before him with great promise and whose death is a distinct loss to the archdiocese .Father Troy was a literary man of rare ability and attainment, and it may be mentioned in passing that when seized by the illness that proved fatal he was preparing a series of classical stories for children for The New World. We have some of his original poetry which we may publish at a later date. Being of a retiring disposition, the many high, scholarly and literary attainments of Father Troy were known only to those friends who were, very close to him, He was a great book lover, and notwithstanding his other duties and occupations—he found time to collect rare books from all over the world.
Father Troy was born thirty nine years ago in Listowel, Kerry County, Ireland, and went to St. Michael’s. College near his native place. He afterwards went to All Hallows College, and then, having come to this country, to St. Mary’s Seminary Baltimore, he made a very brilliant theological course at St. Mary’s, and was made a Bachelor of Theology at the end of his studies.
After his ordination he was temporally appointed assistant at St. Patrick’s, Chicago, after which he was assigned to St. James, his first permanent appointment, where he remained for eight years. While there he showed rare genius for organization, and the results of his work! Remain to this day, evidenced by the affection and regard in which his memory is cherished by the people of that parish. For the last eight years he had been at Our Lady of Angels Church, and here, too, he had won his way into the hearts of all. Father Troy took sick three weeks ago Wednesday. At the time that this occurred he had just had the happy experience of seeing his younger brother admitted into the holy priesthood. There were three brother’s in holy orders, and on one occasion was witnessed the edifying sight of three brothers priests, officiating on the same altar at the same time.
Closely following this happy event, Father Troy was taken ill with pneumonia, and he died on Friday, July 4th, his death was like his life , The last words he uttered in his delirium, was a sermon on Christian love. Father Trey was consoled during his last illness by a visit from His Grace the Archbishop.
The funeral services were held on Monday from Our Lady of Angels Church. The Mass was celebrated by His Grace, Most Rev. Archbishop Quigley, the assistant priest being Msgr. Flavin, V.G., rector of the Cathedral Des Moines. The deacon was Rev J A Quinn, pastor of Holy Angels Church, Aurora, who had been associated with Father Troy for eight years at St. James. The Sub-deacon was Rev William Cahill a lifelong friend of deceased. The deacons of honour were Revs. Joseph Reilly and Peter Shrewbridge. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Thomas V Shannon. (Break)
INTERESTING CEREMONIAL AT OUR LADY OF ANGELS. On Sunday, June 22, an impressive and perhaps somewhat unusual ceremony was witnessed by the congregation of Our Lady of Angels Church it was on the occasion of a Solemn High Mass in which the three priests officiating were brothers and which was rendered all the more impressive by the fact that the celebrant was saying his first Mass. Rev. John J Troy, the newly ordained priest, was celebrant, Rev. Thomas F. Troy, assistant at Our Lady of Angels, was deacon, and Rev. James J. Troy, pastor of St. Patrick’s Church, Lenox, la., was-sub-deacon. Rev. Jas. A Hynes, the esteemed pastor of Our Lady of Angels Church, was assistant priest. Rev. Michael Enright of Springfield Ill., was master of ceremonies.
Rev. John. J. Troy was ordained June 17, at St. Mary’s Seminary, Baltimore, Md., and came to Chicago before leaving to visit his parents in Ireland in order that he might have an opportunity of offering his first Mass as a Solemn High Mass with his brothers as deacon and sub-deacon. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Thomas B. Shannon, pastor of St. Francis Xavier’s Church, Wilmette. Ills. At the end of the Mass the Rev. James Hynes, pastor of Our Lady of Angels, also made an address.

"This year the moon will be near new moon, it will be a crescent, which means it will set before the Perseid show gets underway after midnight," Cooke also told Space.com. "The moon is very favorable for the Perseids this year, and that’ll make the Perseids probably the best shower of 2018 for people who want to go out and view it."
