DIOCESE OF AUCKLAND

(By Telegraph from our own correspondent.) August 8. A meeting will be held at the Cathedral on Wednesday next to make arrangements for the reception of the Right Rev. Dr. Cleary. At the Cathedral on Sunday there was Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament during the day, and the usual procession in the evening after Vespers. The devotion of the Forty Hours' Adoration will commence at St. Benedict's on Sunday week, the date of the consecration of the Right Rev. Dr. Cleary. Very Rev. Father o' Sullivan, S.M.A., delivered the last of the series of interesting lectures in the Choral Hall to-night, the subject being Palestine and the Nile Valley. The Secred Heart Convent, Remuera, reopened after the winter vacation last week. The number of pupils is greatly on the increase. The work connected with the new building is going rapidly ahead. At St. Benedict's, on the Feast of the Assumption, 200 children will make their First Communion at the 8 o'clock Mass. Great preparations are in progress, and the event will be worthy of the great festival. At a meeting of the bazaar committee yesterday afternoon in St. Mary's Convent it was decided to postpone it until next year in order to obtain the use of the new Town Hall, which is expected to be ready by that time. Claremen resident in Auckland, at a meeting, decided to forward an address to Mr. William Redmond, M.P. for East Clare, thanking him for his persistent and consistent action in bringing about the alteration of the obnoxious oath, and extending to him their hearty appreciation and congratulations. Though it was found unnecessary to proceed with his motion in the House of Representatives concerning the Accession Oath, the thanks of Catholics are due to Mr. Arthur Myers, member for Auckland East, for his initiative in the matter in the Dominion Parliament. Locally he has been warmly thanked by the clergy and people for his action. His Grace Archbishop Redwood addressed the Confraternity of the Holy Family at the Cathedral on last Tuesday evening, and described the proceedings about to take place at the Eucharistic Congress at Montreal. His Grace celebrated Mass at the Home of "the Little Sisters of the Poor, and afterwards visited all the religious institutions .in and around the city. He left on Wednesday night by the Moura, to catch the Vancouver steamer. His Grace Was seen off by several of the local clergy.
