Foley. She says he left Ireland in 45 or 46 and didn't mention his age. Anybody have access to history of Archdiocese of Boston that could see if there was a Bishop or auxillary bishop by that name. And give me the full name and perhaps I can find him in a census. Thanks in advance >> Hello Joan, I found two priests in the History of the Archdiocese in Boston: Rev. Peter J. Foley, at St. Luke's Chapel, in the Waverly Section of Belmont, 1915. He began a building fund which ultimately resulted in the erection of St. Luke's Church in 1934 in Waltham. Fr. William J. Foley, at St. Mary's in Weston had maintained a mission there since 1914. Under Fr. Foley a parish was established and St. Julia's Church was erected in May, 1922. No bishops named Foley were listed in the index. Janice Boston
