Loma, where with the aid of an assistant pastor, he will reside and conduct 'the affairs of that parish, while his diocesan office will be located n.t the chancu·y office. Besides the classic languages of Latin and Greek, the new c,han- cellor speaks Spanish and Portu- guese fluently, which will greatly aid him in his work, and efpeci- ally in the pas!-Orate at Point Lo- ma, where the majority of the parishioners arc of Portuguese descent. During his seven years as pastor in Redlands, Father Forristal has attended the spirit- ual needs of a large Portuguese colony resident there. Father Forristal was born at Thomastown, County Kill{enny. Ireland, December 19. 1894, and received his early education there , receiving his B. A. and M. A. de- grees at the National University of Ireland at Dublin, in 1915. Graduate work in Rome in 1921 and 1922 was along lines that will be of great advantage to Fatlwr Forristal as chancellor.
