ST. COLUMBAN’S MISSION
WELLINGTON HEADQUARTERS (P.A.) Aug. 28.
Wellington has been selected as the New Zealand headquarters of St. Columban’s Mission Society. A seminary for the training of missionary priests is to be built. The Rev. Father J. McGlynn, formerly rector of the missionary seminary at Essenden, Vic toria, arrived recently, and has taken up his duties. The missionary districts are China. Korea, Burma and some areas in the Philippines. He says that although it was unlikely that the seminary will be built until after the war, the society’s work would be carried on meanwhile in an existing establishment. He mentioned that the Rev. Father Francis
llerlihy, D.L.C.. had been appointed to the staff. Father Herlihy is at present detained in Korea, where he was working before Japan entered the war.
