Monsignor Wood
Officiates at Jubilee
Celebrates Mass Marking
50th Anniversary of the
School Where He Once
Taught
(Special to The Bulletin)
A1IDDLETOWN, N. Y.—The Bt.
Rev. Msgr. Charles DuBois Wood,
P. A., was celebrant of a Solemn
Pontifical Alass in the Church of
St. Jean Baptists in New York
City, commemorating the golden
jubilee of St. Ann’s Academy,
where at one time he was a mem
ber of the faculty.
When the Marlst Brothers ar
rived in this country from France
fifty years ago to establish St.
Ann's Academy, they were greet
ed by a young man, Charles Du
Bois Wood, of Aliddletown, N. Y.,
who was about to begin his studies
for the priesthood. At the request
of the Brothers and with permis
sion of his superiors, he remained
at St. Ann’s during its early years,
serving despite his youth as a
member of the faculty and
counsellor.
Now a Prothonotary Aposto'Hc
Ad Instar, Monsignor Wood pon
tificated at the Golden Jubilee
Alass of the Academy, with His
Excellency the Most Rev. Francis
J. Spellman, D. D., Archbishop of
New York, presiding.
When Alonsignor Wood was a
young man, Bishop Lynch, of
Charleston, whom President Jef
ferson Davis sent to Europe as a
representative of the Confederacy,
went to Middletown to dedicate St.
Joseph's Church. . With him was
his secretary, Father Henry Pinek-
ney Northrop, who described the
missions of the South so impres
sively that he planted the seeds of
a vocation in Monsignor Wood's
heart.
Later when Bishop Lynch’s sec
retary had succeeded him as
Bishop of Charleston, the then
Bishop Northrop adopted the
youth from Aliddletown as a stu
dent for the Diocese of Charles
ton. and he was ordained nearly
forty-five years ago.
The then Father Wood founded
St. Mary’s Church at Georgetown,
S. C.. and during the Spanish-
American War was port chaplain
at Charleston. He built the church
and rectory at Sumter. S. C., re-
tored St. Peter’s Church in
Cheraw, built the church and rec
tory at Florence, and restored the
old St. Alary's Church in Charles
ton. where he became pastor in
1923.
-Most of the construction work
Alonsignor Wood has effect was
done with his own private means;
he has been a generous benefactor
also of many other efforts, includ
ing St. Francis Xavier Hospital,
Charleston and St. Patrick's paro
chial school in Charleston.
He was made a Domestic Pre
late in 1932, a Prothonotary Apos
tolic Ad Instar in 1935, and a
Knight Commander of the Order
of the Holy Sepulcre''the same
j ear.
Still a priest of the Diocese of
Charleston, Monsignor Wood is
now living in retirement in his
boyhood home town of Middle*
town.
