A long Catholic ceremony in Worcester and surrounding sees gathered clergy from Holy Cross College and multiple New England dioceses to mark a silver jubilee. Rt. Rev. Healy led the Mass at the cathedral with a large procession, addressing the crowd on duty and devotion to the diocese and its missions.
A Maine Catholic milestone recounts Rt. Rev. Healy’s quarter century as Portland’s bishop. It credits his leadership with expanding churches, schools, and religious orders, noting prior bishops built foundations and Healy’s role in diocesan growth from Portland to Madawaska, with honors from Boston clergy.
After the Grand Jubilee Mass, visiting clergy led by Right Rev Bishop Healy attended a banquet at Kavanagh Hall. Rev Father Wallace of Lewiston served as toastmaster as bishops Healy Williams Bradley and Harkins spoke of diocesan unity and past service, thanking supporters for their devotion. The gathering concluded with travel home for many attending clerics from states including New England.
A long tribute recalls Bishop Healy’s Maine mission, noting 19 churches rebuilt or moved, religious houses established, and Jesuit influence. It says 7 priests served, with 5 Jesuits, and highlights his cautious health and humility as he accepted the bishopric after years of service.
Despite advancing years, the bishop remains clear minded and eloquent. His vigorous intellect endures, and he continues to influence, teach, and lead, earning honor and respect for a lifetime of service.
The funeral for Albert V. Jackson, who drowned in Portland harbor six weeks ago, was held yesterday at 171 Lincoln Street. The Atkinson Furnishing Co. story, where he once worked, closed during the services. Rev. Luther Freeman officiated and floral tributes included a wreath from his former employer.
