New Diocese Rumor Denied by Hartford Bishop
Bishop John J. Nilan of Hartford said reports of creating a separate diocese in Fairfield County are baseless. He noted vacancies in five key pastorates, including St Peter's Danbury, and that action on a new pantry at St Augustine's may occur within a week or 50. The death of Rev Nihill prompts changes. Danbury and several parishes face permanent vacancies and reassignments.
