     REV. GEORGE J. CAMPBELL.  A well known representative of the Catholic 
clergy in Portland is Rev. George J. Campbell, rector of the Cathedral of the 
Immaculate Conception. A native son of Portland, he was here born April 23, 
1888, his parents being Daniel and Cecelia Campbell, who came to Oregon from 
Prince Edward Island, Canada, in 1878. Daniel Campbell, who is now living 
retired, was for many years successfully engaged in the building and 
contracting business in Portland. His wife is deceased.

     George J. Campbell received his early educational training with the 
Christian Brothers in his native city and subsequently entered St. Patrick's 
Seminary at Menlo Park, California, which he attended to the time of 
graduation. Thereafter he went to Rome, Italy, where he completed his 
preparation for the priesthood in the North American College and was ordained 
October 28, 1913. Returning to Portland, he served as assistant priest of the 
Church of the Magdalen for four years, after which he filled a pastorate at 
Forest Grove, Oregon, for fourteen months. In 1919 Father Campbell was 
appointed assistant rector of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in 
Portland and in 1925 was made its pastor.
