C. Fontaine, for many years past parish priest of the Roman Catholic Church, Singleton, has resigned his office owing to continued ill-health. Some few weeks ago the rev. gentleman was absent for a brief space on leave, in order to recruit his failing health, but unfortunately with but indifferent success. The Rev. Father Mealey, for some time curate to the Rev. Father Fontaine, has been removed to a similar position in the parish of Gunnedah, where his duties will be such as can be best undertaken by a gentleman of his active and energetic disposition. As a token of the respect and esteem entertained for them by their congregations it is proposed to present each of these rev. gentlemen with testimonials on an early date. The Rev. Father Finn, of Murrurundi, has been appointed to succeed the Rev. C. Fontaine in Singleton, while the Rev. Father Mealey's place will be filled by the Rev. Father Lynch, now of Bathurst, where he received his clerical education.—Singleton Argus. |
