! On Tuesday evening the Rev. Father . Tuohey, C.SS.R., commenced a five days' retreat for the Children of Mary. The weather, with the exception of one day, was beautifully fine. The members of the sodality took full advantage of the weather conditions, and attended excellently. An impressive ceremony was witnessed on _ Sunday night, when Right Rev. Mgr. O'Leary received several new members into the confraternity. The sodality thus augmented is one of the strongest of the country parishes of the diocese. After the reception an appropriate exhortation was addressed to the members by Monsignor o*Leary. An eminently successful retreat was brought to a close by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. :••--'.'--...-•..-.,_■ _ ._.
