DIOCESE OF CHRISTCHURCH

(From our own . correspondent.) . . November 8. His Lordship the Bishop made an episcopal visitation at Lincoln on Sunday. , As usual for Carnival Week there is a large influx of visitors to the city, and as a consequence the congregations at' the Cathedral and other Catholic churches were considerably augmented on Sunday. A- contract for the erection of the permanent Nazareth House on the property of the Sisters of Nazareth, ' The Grove, - Sydenham, has been entered into with Mr. John Smith, builder, of this city. Mr. T. O'Connell is to be" clerk of works, and probably in the near future the foundation stone will be laid by his Lordship the Bishop. The annual appeal in aid of the funds of the Cathedral Conference Society of St. Vincent de Paul was made in the Cathedral on last Sunday. The matter was referred to .at the early Masses, and at the 11 o'clock Mass the occasional charity sermon was preached by Ihe Rev. Dr. Kennedy.
