    Rev. Timothy J. Deasy, the learned and greatly beloved pastor of St. Cecelia
Catholic church, at Cincinnati, has been in charge of this pastorate since its
establishment in 1908. He is a native son of Cincinnati, and was born July 13,
1874, his parents being John and Margaret (Kirby) Deasy. His primary educational
training was secured in the parochial schools of St. Patrick's parish, following
which he commenced a course of study at St. Xavier's College and duly passed his
final examinations. Having decided to enter the priesthood he made a trip to
Rome, Italy, where he attended the College of Propaganda, and June 4, 1898, was
ordained a priest of the Catholic church. His first charge was as professor of
Scripture, an incumbency which he retained for five years, subsequently spending
a like period as professor of Philosophy. July 15, 1908, he became pastor of St.
Cecelia Catholic parish, which was established at that time, being erected from
St. Mary's parish of Hyde Park and St. Anthony's parish of Madisonville. The
church, located on Gilmore avenue, was completed during the same year, but in
1913 a new church and school were completed on Taylor avenue, Oakley, and
dedicated in July of that year. The church edifice was erected at a cost of
$52,000. The parish now consists of 500 families, approximating 2,000 souls,
while 360 pupils are in the school, taught by nine Sisters of Mercy. Assisting
Father Deasy is Rev. August F. Bernard. Father Deasy has been a very useful
pastor and will long be remembered for his kindly counsel and advice, for he is
not only priest to his people, but business guide and loving friend.
