DIOCESE OF CHRISTCHURCH

(From our own correspondent.)

July 18. Rev. Father Mangan, C.SS.R., is at present engaged in conducting a retreat at Mount Magdala. A lecture on “Ireland as I saw it” will be given at the Sacred Heart Schoolroom, Addington, on Thursday evening, July 28, by the Very Rev. Dean Hyland, Rangiora, who recently returned after an extended tour of that and other countries.

Right Rev. Dr. Whyte, Bishop of Dunedin, and Very Rev. Father Coffey, Adm., St. Joseph’s Cathedral, Dunedin, were guests of his Lordship Bishop Brodie last week, on their return from the North Island.

Timaru

(From our own correspondent.)

July 18. His Lordship Bishop Whyte and Very Rev. Father Coffey, Adm., Dunedin, broke their homeward journey at Timaru last week, and were shown the Catholic institutions. The visitors were entertained by the pupils of the Sacred Heart Convent, and during a motor drive were enabled to view our picturesque and progressive town.

On Sunday evening, the Rev. Father O’Ferrall, S.M., preached a fine discourse on the Providence of God to a large congregation. An “Ave Maria” composed by the organist (Mrs. Mangos) was artistically rendered by Mrs. T. W. Lynch. That a just and lasting peace may be arranged between the leaders of the Irish nation and the British Government at the conference now being held in London, is the intention for. which the Holy Rosary is recited in the Sacred Heart Church each evening at present. c
