(From cur own correspondent.) June 19. On Sunday about twenty children from the convent made their First .Communion. The Very Rev. Dean Burke appropriately addressed the children, and altogether the ceremony was a very pleasing and impressive one. In connection with the-Coronation’ celebrations and in compliance with the instructions contained in the circular letter by the Bishops to the clergy throughout New Zealand, a Solemn High Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, the 22nd inst., at in a.m. The officiating priests will be the Very Rev. Dean Burke, V F Very Rev. Father O’Donnell (Gore), and Rev. Father Kavanagli There was a. very large attendance of members at the opening of the Invercargill Catholic Chib on Tuesday the 13th inst. The Rev. Father Kavanagh (president) occupied the chair, and the subject for the evening was a lecture by the patron of the club, the Verv Rev. Dean Burke, V.F. on ‘Spain.’ In a very interesting and instructive manner the Dean traced the history of Spain during the last century or two to the present time, pointing out clearly the causes that have resulted in the present unsatisfactory state of affairs in the country. The address was listened to attentively, and at the close a hearty vote of thanks was carried by acclamation. '
