DIOCESE OF AUCKLAND

(By Telegraph from Our Own Correspondent.) November 1. There was a procession- of the Blessed Sacrament" at. the Cathedral on Sunday evening. The net result of the bazaar at _ St. Benedict 's will, it is said, amount to something near £1,000. Rev. Father Cremin, Bendigo, who was here last week, was in college in Ireland with .Rev. Father Cahill, Ngaruawahia, witli whom he spent several days. He left for Sydney, this evening. Rev. Father Creagh, C.RS.R.. and Rev! Father Hunt, C.SS.R., open a mission in the Cathedral next Sunday morning, and- will be assisted by thS'Very Rev. Father Clutfe, C.SS.R., who will arrive a few days later. The Bishop is expected to be back from Gisborne in time for the opening. His Lordship the Bishop has purchased suitable sites for churches and schools in various parts of. the" diocese — Morrinsville, "Puriri, Hikutaia, and Helensville. Five sites have been "secured. At the latter place twenty acres, with a large building, were purchased in the middle of the township. The land is- quite level, and is considered a good bargain. Widespread regret was felt "by^our" Catholic community at the news of the sad death of Mrs. SomeTfield in a railway accident at Rakaia. She was formerly : Miss Delia Lynch, of this city, and was foremost in every Catholic and charitable work in Auckland. Her mother, sister, and.brothers received many messages of condolence in their bereavement. — R.I.P. A special meeting of the HrA.C.B. Society is called for" to-morrow evening* to discuss, the advisability of the formation of a North New Zealand-District. It has been urged that . it would benefit the Society as a whole, as the continued unrest manifested every three years, it is claimed, is inimical to the best interests of the Society. With a view to ending this, the Auckland Branch is moving in the direction -indicated. A very successful musical and dramatic entertainment was givon by the students' of the Sacred Heart College, assisted by the" Pitt Street Marist Brothers' pupils, in St. Benedict's Hall last Friday evening. There was a very large attendance, including many of the clergy of the city and suburban parishes. It -was ,a very successful entertainment, and reflected great credit on the brothers and pupils. The following was the programme': — Overture,. College orchestra; chorus; recitation, Master Lionel Grimstone; chorus; solo and chorus; song (comic),.
