Timaru

(From oar own correspondent.) v ° . ** ' March 8. Rev. Father S. Mahony, of Wanganui, and Rev. Father Edge, of Auckland, were in Timaru during the week. ■ , On Sunday, at the early Masses, the women of the Sacred- Heart Society made their monthly Communion. At 11 o’clock there was a Missa Cantata, sung by Rev. Father Mahony, after which there was Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament until the evening devotions, when the usual procession, in which the various sodalities of the parish were largely represented, took place. Great interest is being taken in the concert which is to be held on the evening of St. Patrick’s Day. The programme, which is now almost completed, is a varied and high-class one, and promises to excel any that has been presented on similar occasions in Timaru. Besides singers from Christchurch and Dunedin, the children of both schools are to contribute items, consisting of songs, drills, and Irish dances in costume.
