Giving Everything

Joseph T. Adams of Montclair, N.J. was a businessman, and a good one. Four years ago, at 45, he was president of the Manhattan Refrigerating Co. and the Union Terminal Cold Storage Co. in New York City. But Bachelor Adams, a Roman Catholic, was not satisfied with his life; he found himself giving more & more time to his church.

Eventually, he decided to give everything he had. In 1947, he exchanged his business suit for the hooded brown habit and sandals of a Capuchin friar, and his prosperity for monkish poverty. In Boston last week, Joseph Adams was ordained a priest. This week, he celebrated his first Mass in Saint Catherine's Chapel at Westfield, Pa., which was built 45 years ago by his family.
