On Anzac Day a special’ Requiem Mass was celebrated in St. Joseph’s Church by. Rev. Rather Moloney, S.M., at which there was a very largo attendance. Father Moloney also preached. During the Mass suitable hymns were sung by the choir, and at the conclusion of Mass the “Dead Mass” from “Saul” was played by the organist (Miss C. Goughian).
