Thanks for all the kind words. I have to thank Tommy, Geoff Shackelford, Paul Turner, Jim Finegan and TE Paul. I think it well known that TE and I have had our differences, which ironically lead me to write this essay, his admiration for it says something, I think, about both of us.

I did look at Simon Carr's parishes...all eleven of them. Church of the Annunciation, Vistitation BVM, St. Patricks, St. John the Evangelist, St. Peters (Reading), St. Joachim's, Most Precious Blood, St. Veronica's, Our Lady of Holy Souls, and St. Joan of Arc. In 1924 he was named rector of Our Lady of Consolation (appropriately) where he remained pastor until September 1951.
