Requiem Mass For Leo Xiii

A solemn requiem mass for the repose of the soul of Leo XIII was celebrated Wednesday at St. Thomas church by Rev. Fr. Kelly. The church was appropriately draped in mourning for the dead pontiff and the service was beautiful and impressive. Music for the occasion was furnished by the regular choir. After the mass, Fr. Kelly delivered an eloquent and feeling eulogy on the pope, reciting his life and work and the growth and progress of the church under his leadership.
