                  They had besides prepared fourteen priests for holy orders, 
             whose names are as follows.
             F. Gouesse            Thos. Flynn               N. Gillespie
             R. Shortis            Ed Kilroy                 L. Letourneau
             Ch. Shilling          A. Brisard                P. Gillen
