DIOCESE OF DUNEDIN

Rev. Father S. Mahony, S.M., of Wanganui, was on a brief visit to Dunedin in the early part of the week. A general Communion of the members of St. Joseph’s and St. Patrick’s branches of the Hibernian Society takes place at the 9 o’clock Mass on Sunday at St. Patrick’s Basilica, South Dunedin. At St. Joseph’s Cathedral on 1 Sunday there was Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament from the last Mass until after Vespers, when the usual procession, followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, took place. Solemn High Mass, Coram Episcopo, will be celebrated in St. Patrick’s Basilica, South Dunedin, at 9.30 o’clock on St. Patrick’s Day. Rev. Father Liston (Rector of Holy Cross College, Mosgiel), will be celebrant, and the Very Rev. Father O’Donnell (Gore) is to preach the panegyric of Ireland’s National Apostle. The following students of St. Dominic’s College, in addition to those whose name were published in our last issue, were successful in the teachers’ certificate examination in the classes indicated:—Passed in fotxr subjects in Class C, Mary T. Wall; first section in Class D and partial pass in second section, Mary Gertrude Carolan. The national concert in the Garrison Hall on the evening of St. Patrick’s Day is sure to attract a very large audience, and it would be well for intending pat-

rons to secure their tickets at once so as .to avoid disappointment. ■ Apart from the sentiments associated with the day, there is a further reason why the support extended to the concert this year should be more than usually generous, and it is this, the proceeds are to be devoted to the building fund of the Christian Brothers’ School. Among those who have promised to contribute to the programme are Mrs. R. A*. Power, Miss Dennehy (Timaru), Messrs. T. J. Hussey, J. Leech, and J. A. McGrath, the Christian Brothers,’, Boys’ Choir, and the Kaikorai Band. To add to the attractiveness of the entertainment there will be an unique exhibition of step-dancing, including a four-handed reel. CATHOLIC SEWING GUILD.
