Auckland
(By Telegraph from our own correspondent.) His Lordship the Bishop administered the Sacrament of Confirmation to close on two hundred and fifty candidates at St. Benedict's Church last Sunday afternoon. Right Rev. Mgr. Gillan and Rev. Fathers Hunt, Gilmartin, Brennan, and Carran were present. Candidates were present from Helensville, Makarau, Henderson, Reweti, Waimaka, and Avondale, and some had come a distance of fifty miles. When his Lordship visited these places some time ago he met a number of the children, and on last Sunday he received them, after Confirmation in the 1 sacristy, spoke kindly to them, and gave each a nice medal as a memento of the ceremony. Among the number confirmed, fifty were adults.
