Who is this?

Last week we took down the picture of Archbishop Curtiss that was hanging in the parish office and replaced it with a picture of Archbishop Lucas. In the process, we discovered this picture was behind the picture of Archbishop Curtiss.

Do you know who it is?

  2. Monsignor O'Donnell? or maybe Arch Bishop Shehan since it was behind Arch Bishop Curtiss' picture?

  3. OK, here is my reasoning:

    If you look at the large version of the photo, the book in the lower right appears to be Latin. Also that looks like a Communion rail behind the priest. So, I'm guessing this is pre-Vatican II, which was 1962.

    Since it's color, it's most likely 1950's or early 60's. Based solely on the dates in Eldon Lauber's history of St. Columbkille (http://www.saintcolumbkille.org/aboutus/history.asp), I'm going to guess that it is Fr. John Stears.
