<p>FOND MEMORIES OF A BELOVED BISHOP</p> <p><strong>I will always treasure the memories of our Alaskan cruise and cruise to Nova Scotia when Bishop Boland was along. The word spread quickly that there was a Catholic Bishop on board ship with an Irish accent!</strong></p>

<p>Seafaring chaplain</p> <p>Bishop Boland gave wonderful homilies, filled with good theology and wonderful stories. It was a privilege to work with him in the Chancery in the Office of Worship as Music Director. Enjoying being a chaplain for cruises, he requested a CD of hymns be made from the seafaring hymnal so that people could sing during the services.</p>
