December 9. On Monday night, December 1, at the Sacred Heart Church, Rev. Father O'Sullivan, C.SS.R., commenced a week's mission. The six and seven o'clock Masses every morning were very largely attended, and large numbers approached the Holy Table daily. On Sunday morning almost the whole congregation received Holy Communion, which was an edifying sight, and most pleasing to the zealous missionary. In the afternoon Father O'Sullivan addressed a special meeting of the 'Children of Mary, and in the evening preached to a very large congregation. On Monday, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, large numbers again approached the Holy Table, and after the Mass and in the evening the Rev. Father preached on the life of the Blessed Virgin. At the conclusion Of the ceremonies Rev. Father Galerne thanked Rev. Father O'Sullivan for the good work he had accomplished during the week, and hoped that Father O'Sullivan would again visit Reef in the near future.
