The Rev. Father Galerne, during his late visit to the North Island, was met by a number of West Coasters, who presented him with a framed photograph of the monument erected in Victoria Square, Normanby, in memory of fallen comrades during the troublesome times of the ’sixties. On Sunday evening, after devotions, representatives of the congregation assembled at the presbytery for the purpose of bidding good-bye to Mr. Henry Orpwood, who was to leave next morning for Trentham. On behalf of the congregation. Rev. Father Galerne presented Mr. Orpwood with a wristlet watch a purse of sovereigns, at the same time paying a tribute to the departing member’s many good qualities.
