gium and France, the culmination of
fifteen years of study in the Jesuit
Order, returned to Augusta last week
for the first time since his ordina •
tion and officiated Sunday at. a Sol -
emn High Mass at Sacred Heart

that he went to undertake his studies
for the priesthood. He made his
novitiate at St. Stanislaus College,
Macon, his classical studies at Macon
and St. Michael’s College, Sookanc,
Wash., and his studies in philosophy
at St. Michael’s. He then tauebt in
the Jesuit schools at Tampa and New
Orleans, leaving five years ago for
Europe for his studies in theology at
Enghien. Belgium. The past year he
spent in special studies at Amiens,
France.
In addition to his studies in the
ology. Father Maher has made grad
uate studies in English and French
literature and in other fields. He
was ordained a year ago in Dublin,
and during the past year he has given,
missions and preached in England,
Ireland, France and elsewhere. He
has traveled extensively in Belgium,
France. Switzerland. Italy. England.
Ireland and other countries; he sailed
to the United States from Naples after
a visit to Rome, where he was re -
ceived by the Holy Father and by
the Father General of the Society of
Jesus.

pastor of the Church of the Immacu
late Conception, a friend of Father
Maher since boyhood, was the deacon

has died since he went away to make
his studies for the priesthood, and to
his family for the sacrifices made to
enable him to achieve the desire of
his heart, to be a priest. He referred
also to the beneficient influence of
the Jesuit Fathers, especially Father
Salter, who was his boyhood pastor,
his master of novices at Macon and
his provincial at the time of his death
in the spring. He lauded the faifh
of the people of Augusta, a faith he
said was reflected in the number of
vocations, the greatest blessing which
can come to a person judged by the
true standards of eternity instead of
the varying and erroneous standards
