The new presbytery at Omakau is to be opened on St 1 atrick s Day, when there will.be a special religious service and sermon appropriate to the occasion. The many friends of the Rev. Father O'Reilly will be Pleased to hear that he has again taken up his duties in the Cathedral parish, and that his health is fully restored. • J The following students of Holy Cross College, Mosgiel have passed the matriculation examination of the Otaco University:— James Faulkner, John Hanrahan, Francis Delargy, and Daniel McLaughlin. tti xi The^? n ny,. y , New Zealand friends of the Very Rev. Father O'Neill (Milton) will be interested to learn that Jie some weeks ago received the sanction of his Lordship the Bishop to apply for membership of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, commonly known as the Redemptorist Fathers. Father O'Neill has been accepted by the heads of the Irish province of the Order, and after a stay in the South of France he will enter the novitiate at Limerick m March. A very old-standing desire of the \ cry Rev. Father thus gives promise of realisation. But Ins rellow-clergy of the diocese, to whom he had greatly endeared himself, and great numbers of the laity amon'e: whom he worked so fruitfully, will greatly miss him; and oven outside his own faith there are many who will miss his genial ways and his ready wit, which was never known to wound.
