				REV. LOUIS JOSEPH SCHREIBER. 

	Rev. Louis Joseph Schreiber, of the Eudist Fathers, is the priest 
in charge of the Catholic church at Woonsocket. He was born July 26, 
1872, at St. Anne d,Auray, Brittany, France. His father, Pierre 
Schreiber, a native of Germany, went to France in 1868 and in 1871 
wedded Marie Vigne. Their son, Louis Joseph, pursued his education at 
Ploermel, Brittany, and was graduated with the Bachelor of Arts degree 
in 1891. He joined the Eudist Fathers and completed his theological 
studies at the Seminaries of Vannes and Rennes in Brittany. After his 
ordination he was sent as professor to different colleges in charge of 
the Eudist Fathers to teach Latin, Greek and German, till a new field 
of action was assigned to him by his superiors. He went to Woonsocket 
on the 4th of September, 1903, and attended the missions in that 
vicinity until 1914, when he took charge of the Catholic church of 
Woonsocket in the month of August. With Rev. Schreiber three other 
Eudist Fathers reside at Woonsocket and have charge of the neighboring 
missions.
