The collection also contains newspaper clippings related to Father MacIsaac's golden anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood in 1979, notices of his death in 1980, a copy of his obituary, telegrams offering condolences on his death, and a copy of the eulogy which was read by Father Gary Killion at his funeral.
