(From our own correspondent.)

The Feast of' the Holy Rosary (the... first since i the opening of the new church) was celebrated, in : a befitting manner. At the first Mass a berautjful sight was witnessed, when a great number of school children, aspirants, and Children of Mary in regalia, received Holy Communion. The music of the Mass was sung by the children, their rendition of • it being most creditable to the Sisters of the Mission. From the last Mass until after the evening devotions there was Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. A most beautiful life-sized statue of our Lady of the Rosary has lately been presented to the church, and the Lady Chapel was very tastefully decorated with white flowers. At the evening service, after the recitation of the Rosary, and a short discourse by. the Very Rev. Dean Darby, thirtyseven aspirants were received into the sodality of the Children of Mary. The Dean explained the object of the ceremonies used in the admission of members. Suitable music was rendered by members of 'the choir, under the able direction of Mr. T. M. Simpson, whose fine composition for the ' Divine Praises,' made a fitting finish to the day's ceremonies. \ "- {r On October 2 the members of St. Mary's Young Men's Club were the guests of the Children of Mary at a social evening. This was % a return for the many pleasant evenings which the young men have given to the ladies of the parish. The hall was tastefully decorated for the occasion, and much praise has been extended to the committee, which consisted of Misses M. Ryan (secretary), T. McCarthy (treasurer), C. Casey, B. Jones, L. Flynn, v E. Chamey, and A. McCarthy. .The ladies went to a great deal of trouble in the matter, and the guests were loud in their appreciation for the enjoyable programme provided for their entertainment. ■ ; : '
