DIOCESE OE DUNEDIN

The annual appeal for funds to enable the Cathedral Conference of the St. Vincent de Paul Society to carry on its charitable work in this city will lie made on next Sunday, when collections for this worthy object will be taken lip at the Cathedral and at the churches at Mornington and Kaikorai. Distinguished Visitors to Rome Distinguished visitors here recently (writes the Rome correspondent of the London Catholic Times) were his Lordship the Bishop of Aberdeen (Right Rev. George Bennett) and his Lordship the Bishop of Dunedin, New Zealand (Right Rev. James Whyte), both of whom were present at the Beatification ceremonies of the Blessed Robert Bellarmine. The Bishop of Aberdeen stayed at the Scots' College, and the Bishop of Dunedin at the Irish College. His Lordship Dr. Whyte is making his first nil limina visit. He is a native of the City of Kilkenny, and was ordained

for the archdiocese of Sydney, where he labored for many years. Three years ago he was called-from the care of a large and busy parish in that diocese to the heavier cares of the New Zealand diocese. In his early years in Sydney he was attached to the staff of Manly-College, the famous diocesan seminary which Cardinal Moran founded more than a score of years ago. His Lordship .intends going to Ireland to visit his old home.
