  REV. LEO G. BAILEY, pastor of St. John's Roman Catholic Church, of Altoona, 
has occupied this charge for nearly ten years.  John A. Bailey, his father, was 
born at Pittsburgh, Pa., and spent the greater part of his life as a machinist 
with the Pennsylvania Railroad at Renovo, Pa., where he died in January, 1911, 
his wife, Mary (Buckley) Bailey, a native of Lockhaven, Pa., dying in 1910.  
Father Bailey was third in order of birth of a family of eight children, of whom 
the others are: William D., Francis E., Blanche M., Thomas J., Robert J., Helen 
E., and Julia A.  Born at Renovo, September 3, 1883, he attended St. Joseph's 
Parochial School, Miss Baird's Private School, and the Renovo High School.  He 
pursued his theological studies at Mt. St. Mary's College, Maryland, and was 
ordained June 29, 1918.  He was assistant pastor at St. John's Catholic Church, 
Johnstown, Pa., and then became secretary to Bishop Garvey, of the Altoona 
Diocese, occupying a similar position for a year and a half with his successor, 
Bishop McCort.  On July 1, 1921, he was made pastor of St. John's Church, 
Altoona, and has since held this charge.
