DIOCESE OF CHRISTCHURCH

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

September 7. As a icsuU of the recent ' Living Floral Carnival,' St Mary's parish, Christchurch North, is, I understand, cleared ol all liabilities. At a social gathering on Wednesday evening next the balance sheet is to be presented.

The Rev. Father Nouyoux, M.S.H., is at present in charge of the Kumara parish, Westland. His Lordship the Bishop, who r is at present on an episcopal visitation in the North Canterbury parochial district, was at Cheviot on Sunday. On Wednesday of this week he will administer Confirmation at Brackenbridge, and at Oxford on Thursday", where a mission is being conducted by one of the Redemptorist Fathers. His Lordship will make a visitation at Leeston on next Sunday, after which he intends to proceed to Westland.

There was Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament from th: 1 1 o'clock Mass until after Vespers in the Cathedral on Sunday, and many attended at Adoration during the afternoon. In the evening a very fine discourse on the mission of our Divine Lord was preached by the Rev. Dr. Kennedy in the presence of a large congregation. Procession of the Blessed Sacrament followed, in which the various confraternities and societies participated.
