NOVICES RECEIVED
The chapel at St. Mary's Convent, Ponsonbv, was the scene of much beauty yesterday afternoon when the habit of the Sisters of Mercy was received by Sister M. Annette (Miss Kathleen Lanigan, Thames), Sister M. de I'azzi (Miss Lorna Simpson, New Plymouth), Sister M. Christina (Miss Agnes McDavitt, Johnsonville, Wellington), and Sister M. Claver (Miss Gladys Scholium, Auckland). Bishop List on, assisted by the Right Rev. Monsignor Ormond and the Rev. K. McGrath, S.M., performed the ceremony, and spoke feelingly to those about to dedicate their lives to the service of God. Music incidental to the occasion was devotionally rendered by the convent choir, the ceremony concluding with the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Afterwards the rev. mother and the sisters entertained the clergy, relatives and friends of the novices to afternoon tea.
