(From our own correspondent.) 'April 11. At St Patrick's, Church, Waimate, on Easter Sunday a Missa Cantata was celebrated at eleven o'clock by the Rev. Father O'Connor, who also preached on the Gospel of the Day. The choir, under the baton of Mr. C. J. Goldstone, rendered special rmusic for the occasioji. The church was beautifully decorated with wreaths, garlands, foliage, etc., for the occasion, thework being done by the Sisters of St. Joseph, who deserve every praise for the way in which they carried it out. In the ervening the Rev. Father Regnault preached on the feast of the day. The Church was crowded to the doors on both occasions. On Thursday the annual outing of the children took place. About 250 children and friends journeyed to Oamaru by the excursion train, and an enjoyable day was spent. The children, who were in charge of the Rev. Fathers Regnault and O'Connor, visited the woollen mills, free7ing works, gardens, etc., and all returned home well pleased with their outing.
