His Excellency, Bishop James Morrison of Antigonish, a native son of the parish. Tragedy struck on January 19, 1934 when the parochial house, the home of Father MacLellan, was completely razed by fire. Although 83 years old at the time, the courageous priest took rooms in the village and carried on his work, undaunted by the destruction of his dwelling and personal effects. Work on the present brick and wood structure was begun in May of the same year and pushed rapidly to conclusion by contractors Rogerson and Bradley. The eighty-five year old church was itself con¬ sumed by flames on the night of January 20, 1946. A heavy blow to the parish which had, thereby, lost a place of worship, hallowed by the as¬ sociations which had gathered around it over the years, the destruction of such a fine example of Gothic architecture also constituted an irreparable loss to the Island's artistic heritage. While arrangements for a new church were being made, services were held in the nearby parish hall. October 1, 1952, an important date in the chronicles of St. An¬ drew's, marked the retirement of a beloved pastor, eighty-five year old Rev. Terence Campbell , from active parochial work. Born at Mill Cove , near Corran Ban , he was the son of Michael Campbell and his wife, the former Katherine O' Brien . After teaching school at Souris for a short time, Father Campbell began his advanced studies at Uni¬ versity, graduating in 1893 as a member of the first class on whom the honour of Bachelor of Arts was conferred at that seat of learning. Con¬ tinuing his studies in this country and in Europe, he was ordained in the Basilica of St. John Lateran , Rome, on June 5, 1898. On his return to Canada, he joined the staff of Saint Dunstan's University where he taught until 1904. In that year he was assigned as pastor at Kelly's Cross where he ministered until 1909 when he returned to the university as rector. It was there that his scholarly attainment, coupled with a kind and gracious manner won for him the deep and lasting regard of his students. In 1915 he began his pastorate at Alberton where he remained until 1937 when his appointment to St. Andrew's was announced. On June 6, 1948, he was honoured by the parishioners on the occasion of the 50th anni¬ versary of his ordination. At that time he celebrated a solemn High Mass , and the sermon was preached by Rt. Rev. R. V. MacKenzie , Rector of St. Dunstan's . An address on behalf of the parishioners was read by Senator J. P. Maclntyre and a presentation made by Mr. D. J. MacDonald . Father Campbell lived to celebrate his 60th Jubilee. He died on September 7, 1961, in his 94th year. The Guardian for May 25, 1960 announced that M. F. Schurman Co. Ltd. had been awarded the contract for constructing a new St. And¬ rew's Church. A break with tradition was made in that the new building was not erected in the community of St. Andrew's but rather on the site of the old John Roche Bourke mansion in Mount Stewart . Supported on exposed wooden arches, the frame structure has cathedral windows and a fifty-three foot spire topped by a six foot cross. The interior is done in textured plywood and the sanctuary in oak. As was the case with its two predecessors, it was dedicated to St. Andrew the Apostle, the patron saint of Scotland . With the destruction of the second St. Andrew's, the grave of Bis¬ hop MacEachern was again exposed to the elements. Plans for erecting a memorial chapel over the spot were announced on March 14, 1970 by Rev. J. P. E. O'Hanley of Summerside , committee chairman. Contractors Fitzgerald and Snow fashioned the building out of sandstone with an interior designed to achieve a rustic effect by the use of flagstone flooring, —82—
