DIOCESE OF DUNEDIN

Since the recent, mission at St. Joseph's Cathedral, the membership of the Confraternity of Our Lady of Perpetual Succor has increased very considerably, some 550 women being enrolled. . ; Each Wednesday ' evening the Cathedral has been completely filled. On Wednesday, last, the solemn consecration and enrolling of new members took place, and it was most edifying to see the great numbers that -approached the altar rails in order to be placed under the special protection of Mary the Immaculate Mother of God.' The women of the parish have responded magnificently to the appeals of Father Herring, and also to the appeals of his Lordship the Bishop, whose earnest wish is to see all the women of St. Joseph's parish assembled at the weekly meetings of the Confraternity of Our Lady of Perpetual Succor.

The ladies of the Refreshment Stall in connection with the St. Vincent's Orphanage fair will hold a jumble sale on Friday week next, November 3, in the. Old Post Office Buildings, Princes Street, commencing at 10 a.m. A large quantity of new and second-hand goods, provisions, etc., will be offered, and buyers. are assured of an excellent choice, of goods at very moderate prices. As the opening date of the fair is now close at hand, few if any such similar opportunities, besides those already notified, will be possible.

A euchre and- "500" card evening, in aid of the funds of the Children of Mary Stall at the St. Vincent's Orphanage fair, was held in St. Patrick's School hall last week, and in keeping with previous functions, was enjoyed by the largo number present. Prize-winners during the evening were Miss Woods and Mr. J. Plunket for euchre, and Mrs. Donnelly and Mr. Allen for the "500." During the evening musical items were capably rendered by Misses N. Bradley, A. -Flannery, Johnston, and MacDonald, Miss M. P. Noonan, L.T.C.L., being accompanist. Forthcoming attractions for the above stall include a euchre party in the school hall on the 31st inst, under the auspices of the St. Patrick's Harrier Club; an open-air concert by the St. Kilda Municipal Band at the Ocean Beach rotunda on November 1, and a jumble sale in St. Patrick's School on November 4.
