Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I noho a Lyons ki te Whare Wānanga o Boston mo te wa poto noa iho, i mua i tana whakataunga hei tumuaki o te Whare Wānanga o Gonzaga. I whakawhiwhia e ia te tūranga i te Hakihea 27, 1908, i muri i a Joseph J. Himmel. I muri noa iho i tana urunga mai ki te tari,
I patua e te ruu a Messina, Itari, a i whakahaeretia e te kura he mihi nui mo nga patunga, i whakanuihia e te Pihopa Diomede Falconio, i waiatahia e Bonaventura Cerretti. I tae atu a Pihopa Denis J. O'Connell, te Kaiwhakarite Ture a Charles Joseph Bonaparte, te karere Itari ki te Hononga o Amerika, a Joseph Himmel, me nga tohunga o nga tikanga Dominican, Franciscan, me Paulist. I whakahaerehia he hakari hei whakahonore i te perehitini hou i te Hui-tanguru 10, i tae atu a Congressman William Bourke Cockran. I mutu te wa o Lyons i te Hurae 8, 1909, i te wa i whai mana ai a Eugene DeL. Ko McDonnell.
