f United Press Association.] Tfmaru, Feb 6. The foundation stone of the new Sacred Heart Church was laid this afternoon by Bishop Grimes, of Christchurch. There was a very largo attendance of members of the Roman Catholic Church and the public. After a procession, which included a great number of clergy and members of tne Hibernian Society, the Bishop laid the stone with all due ceremony. Addresses followed, and were given by the Rev Father Tubman, the vicar of the parish, Bishop Grimes, and others. A special collection realised a large sum. The church will cost £20,000 finished, being built of concrete with Oamaru stone facings and ornaments.
