THE MAORI MISSION

Very Rev. Father A. Lightheart, of Whangaroa, Superior of the Maori Mission, requests us to publish the following acknowledgment :—: — To the Catholics in the diocese of Auckland :— ' I have the pleasure to inform the Catholics in the diocese of Auckland that the collection taken up for the Maori Mission on Pentecost Day amounted to £40, which amount has been forwarded to me by his Grace the Archbishop of Wellington. ' I take this opportunity to express my Bincers thauks to the pastors and their respective flocks for their united efforts to make this collection a success, which affords a strong proof and an edifying example of their practical sympathy with their less fortunate brethren in the holy Faith, the poor natives in the diocese.'
