DIOCESE OF CHRISTCHURCH

(From our own correspondent.)

June JO. The members of the Christchurch Catholic Club held a social evening in their rooms, Wiltshire Buildings, on Tuesday, the 24th inst., which was very well attended. A good programme of songs and recitations given by members and friends was greatly appreciated. Rev, Father Long, Adm., Greymonth, has been visiting Christchurch during the week. I am pleased to note the success of St. Bede’s College in the schools’ Rugby contest. They are holding their own, and up to the present are leading in the competition. The Marist Brothers’ Old Boys in the League contest have had an unbeaten record. On Saturday last the game against Sydenham stood 12 to nil at half-time against Marists, but they played very well in the second spell and put up a score of 13 points, thus winning by 1 point. Very Rev. Father Morkane, Rector of Holy Cross College, Mosgiel, preached at evening devotions on Sunday evening at the Cathedral. Rev. Father Cullen, S.M., St. Bedes’ College, preached at St. Mary’s. The drawing of the art union in connection with the Lewisham Hospital garden fete has been postponed from July 2 to August 15. and will take place in the Caledonian Hall. , The Catholic Entertainers had a very auspicious gathering on Friday evening, when about 80 members were in attendance. Rev. Fathers Hanrahan, Adm., Long, and Joyce were present. The Misses K. and M. O’Connor were in charge of the musical arrangements. -1-
