(1892) FATHER DENNIS O. MULCAHY. The reverend gentleman whose name appears above, was born in Kingston, Ulster County, N. Y., March 4, 1856. He is a son of James and Margaret (Manning) Mulcahy. His father was a stone-dresser by occupation, and an honest and industrious man. Our subject was brought up in his native city until his third year, when his family removed to Michigan. He was sent to school in Holly, this State, attending the common schools of the city. His family afterward removed to Hazelton, Shiawassee Country, and there he pursued the course of study begun before. Later he went to the Flint High School, and remained there until eighteen years of age. From Flint our subject went to Ontario, Canada, and attended the Assumption College, finishing his course June 21, 1886. From there he went to St. Mary's Seminary at Baltimore, being in attendance there for one year. Thence he went to St. Mary's of the West, at Cincinnati, and there finished his theological course, February 11, 1890, receiving his ordination March 9, 1890. On first beginning his pastoral career, our subject was appointed an assistant curate at Kalamazoo, of St. Augustine Church. He remained there until June 1, 1891, and was then ordered to take charge of the mission at Gagetown, where he has since been. The convent here, which is a delightfully located institution, has four sisters in charge. It was founded by Father F. B. Krebs, in 1886. The institution accommodates about ninety pupils.
