Catholic diocesan synod planned for September 1878

The article doesn’t state when Galberry made the appointments, when the appointments were announced, or what the purpose of the synod was, other than that it was a “diocesan synod.”

During the evening on June 22, 1878, a 40-hour devotional service ended at the cathedral.

This morning, there was a pontifical high mass celebrated at the Cathedral of Saint Joseph.

1. Hugh Carmody, a priest in New Haven, had accompanied Francis McFarland to Virginia as McFarland attempted to regain his health in 1874.

3. P. A. Murphy was a priest in New Haven.
