DIOCESE OF DUNEDIN

What promises to be an enjoyable concert will be given in the Sacred Heart Schoolroom, North-East Valley, on next Saturday evening, March 1, in aid of the fund for furnishing stalls at the approaching garden fete, now being promoted in the interests of the Catholic school in that portion of St. Joseph’s Cathedral parish. An excellent programme will be presented, and it is hoped liberal patronage will be extended to the concert. - The Sisters of Mercy, South Dunedin, gratefully acknowledge a donation of .£1 towards the orphanage from Mrs. Lavelle, West Plains. In observance of the Month’s Mind of Sister Mary Aquinas, Solemn Requiem Mass was celebrated at St. Joseph’s Cathedral on Wednesday, in the presence of a good congregation. Father Woods was celebrant, Father Kaveney deacon, and Father Ardagh subdeacon. The incidental music was impressively sung by the Dominican Nuns’ Choir. The St. Patrick’s Night Concert Committee met on last Sunday evening after devotions, Mr. J. Hally presiding. The programme sub-committee’s report showed that many well-known and favorite vocalists had consented to contribute national items, and that the prospects of a successful and enjoyable concert were assured.
