ST. BRIGID’S CHURCH.
The end of next month sblmld see the completion of the handsome new church which is being' built at the corner of Monmouth and Derby Streets to replace the old structure on the opposite side of the road, known as St. Brig-id's. The new St. Brigid’s. which is being built out of publicly raised subscriptions, possesses many features of striking design and the red tiled roof certainly sets off to advantage the ornamentation contained in the body of the structure. The Rev. Father Cahill announced on Sunday, that the church would be opened by Archbishop Redwood, on August 16, and arrangements were being made for the students of the Marlst College, at Highden, Awahuri, to sing the Mass at the ceremony. Thanks to the personal efforts of Father Cahill, the shrubs surrounding the new church are growing profusely and by the opening date, they should go’a long way towards beautifying the surroundings.
