The funeral of Reverend Father Bric took place on Wednesday morning of the next week, every avenue of approach to the church being packed by people. The various parish organizations of men, women and children assembled with full ranks and wearing mourning emblems, half a hundred priests from all sections of the Diocese occupied seats in the sanctuary and in the front pews, while scores upon scores of non-Catholics were scattered throughout the congregation. The officers of the Solemn High Mass of Requiem were: Celebrant, Reverend Father McCabe of Woonsocket, R.I.; Deacon, Reverend Father Campbell of Hartford, Conn; Sub-Deacon, Reverend Father Kinnerney of Providence; Master of Ceremonies, Reverend Father Kane of Valley Falls, R.I. Right Reverend Bishop Hendricken pronounced the absolution and gave the final blessing, following a touching eulogy by Reverend Father Walsh of Waterbury, Conn. The body was then interred in a specially-constructed tomb in the basement of the new church, directly under the main altar. Reverend Father Bric's survivors of today are a brother, Thomas M. Bric of Newport, R.I., and a sister, Katherine Bric of Hingham, Mass.
