EASTER SERVICES IN WAIKATO.

Special Divine Services were performed by our worthy resident priest, the Rev. Father Golden, at Rangiaohia and Kihikihi on Easter Day, after which he delivered most impressive sermons at each place, which were listened to with marked attention throughout by large and attentive congregations. The offertory, wo learn, was large.

THE NEW CHUECH AT OHATTPO will be completed, Father Golden informs us, in about a, fortnight. The church building is situated in a most commanding position, and will, when finished, be an ornament to Ohaupo and the Waikato, The new church will shortly be formally opened with due solemnity, of which we shall take care to advise our readers. It is exceedingly gratifying to see the congregation of the faithful in Waikato so fully alive to their own spiritual necessities, and the advancement of the Holy Mother Church, as they have repeatedly shown themselves. It is only a few months since we were pleased to notice the endeavors of our Catholic fellow-settlers to provide for themselves a place of worship at Taupiri, and now it is our pleasing duty to record a similar act of zeal in such good work in another part of the district. — ' Waikato Times.'
