Br. James Connor (1839-1909) Bro. James of the Mother of God, in the world named Patrick Connor, was born on 30th November 1839 in Killough, Ireland. Obeying the voice of a religious vocation, he entered our novitiate, and after having passed the time of probation, was professed a lay brother in our Retreat of St. Saviour's, Broadway on 12th February 1891. He was an edifying religious, Simple and pious in his manner and charitable towards the sick. He cheerfully performed the various duties imposed on him by obedience. Having been appointed to the office of Questor, for several years he per- formed this arduous duty. Some years ago his strength broke down but al- though the infirmities of advanced years much enfeebled him, he gave much edification by his cheerful bearing of the affliction to which he succumbed on March 6th 1909. He received the last sacraments with resignation to God's will and accepted death in the same spirit of resignation. R.I.P. Holy Cross Ardoyne Belfast
