Taumarunui

(From our own correspondent.) April 7. The 'services of Holy Week were well attended. Mass on Holy Thursday was celebrated at nine o’clock, a large number of the congregation approaching. the Holy Table. At the conclusion of Mass there was. a procession of the Blessed Sacrament to the Altar of Repose, which had been very tastefully decorated- by the Sisters. The evening devotions consisted of Rosary, sermon, and Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart. The ceremonies on Good Friday were Mass- of .‘the Presanctified and veneration of the Cross at -V nine o’clock, Stations of the Cross for the children in the afternoon at three, and in the evening at seven Stations of the Cross again, followed by an appropriate sermon. - On Easter Sunday a Missa Cantata was celebrated in Taumarunui by Rev. Father Duffy at 11 o’clock. The choir, under Mr. McKenzie, deserve to be complimented on its excellent rendering of the “Mass of the Good Shepherd,” also for its rendering of the Easter hymns and the Benediction music at the evening devotion*.
