Father Carroll attended public school in the fifteenth ward of Allegheny City, and later that at Herman, Butler Co., Pa., and is a grad- uate of the college of St. Fidelis, at Herman. From there he entered St. Vincent Seminary, in Westmoreland county, Pa., where he com- pleted his theological studies, and he was or- dained priest June 26, 1896. Following this he became assistant priest at Connellsville, Pa., continuing there for two years, when he was transferred to Wilkinsburg, and still later was placed in charge of the church at West New- ton, Pa. During the great strike at Monessen, Pa., he was in charge of the Catholic Church there, and for a time was assistant priest at Irwin, Pa. During the typhoid epidemic at Butler, Pa., he was transferred to that city, and did heroic work among the sick and dying, working day and night regardless of creed. Probably no one man did more to relieve suf- fering, soothe the pillow of the dying, and finally stamp out the disease, than he. His heroism, kindness of heart and purpose and knowledge of sanitary requirements will long be remembered by the grateful people of But- ler. In 1904 he was placed in charge of St. Mary's at Kittanning. Here, as elsewhere, his efforts have been rewarded, for the parish is in a flourishing condition. When he took charge his congregation consisted of about forty families, but at present he has two hun- dred enrolled as members of the church. In 1907 he built the parochial school edifice, a four-room brick structure, with four sisters of St. Joseph as teachers. There are two hun-

An earnest, devout man, Father Carroll is also a good business manager, and his parish shows the results of his energy and foresight on every side.
