DIOCESE OF AUCKLAND

(By telegraph, from our own correspondent.) May 24. Rev. Brother Clement, who for the past six years has been Superior of the Sacred Heart College, Auckland, has been promoted to the position of Provincial of the Marist Brothers in Australasia. No better selection could have been made. The college, its students past and present, and our Catholic community in this and other dioceses of New Zealand can never adequately repay the many obligations which they owe Brother Clement. Into their spiritual, temporal, and social life he unostentatiously entered, and upon all three he has left his mark. His sterling work shall ever remain with us. While heartily congratulating him on his

promotion, Ave part with him ;- regretfully. , Brother Clement leaves for : Sydney on May 31. : ">:.:; ■•■: The 11 o'clock Mass on-next Sunday at St. Benedict's will be celebrated for the repose of the souls of Catholics killed during the present war. > , t ' Rev. Father O'Sullivan, C.SS.R., is, at present conducting missions at Northcote and Takapau. He will afterwards give a mission at Te Awamutu. ' w- ' Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament took place at the Sacred Heart Church on Sunday from the last Mass untinl after Vespers. . Many of the parishioners visited the church throughout the day. A bazaar in aid of the Ellerslie parish funds will be opened on Thursday, June 3, by the Right Rev. Mgr. Gillan, V.G. Great preparations have been made for the undertaking, and everything points to its success. The annual diocesan collections in aid of the Maori Mission were inaugurated as far as the city and suburbs are concerned, at Remuera last Sunday. Very Rev. Dean Van Dvk, Superior, made a powerful appeal to the congregations at the Masses. The people responded liberally. Collections for the same purpose were taken up at St. Benedict's and in Grey Lynn. Dean Van Dyk will appeal next Sunday at Parnell.
