Power have returned to Sydney after an extended holiday in the Old World. ■; y v The Sacred Heart parish, Darlinghurpt, will be administered by the Rev. Father P. J. Sheehy, of St. Patrick’s College, Manly, during the absence of the Right Rev. Mgr. O’Haran. C o^'^ His Lordship the Bishop of . the -Bismarck Archipelago, the Right Rev. Dr. Louis Couppe, arrived in Sydney the other day. He is on a recuperative trip, and is staying at the Sacred Heart Monastery, Kensington. There was lost to the sacred cause of Catholic education recently, Brother Bernardine, of the Marist College, New Norcia, W.A., who died after a long and painful illness at the Hospital of St. John of God, Suhiaco, Perth. Rev. Brother Fogarty, who was in charge of Gregory Terrace School, Brisbane, has been transferred to Perth, West Australia. Brother O’Donoghue, of Perth, succeeds Brother Fogarty. Brother Egan, who has been stationed in Brisbane, returns to Adelaide. Rev. Father Mimnagh, who was Mayor of Bundabcrg last year, was again nominated for the position this year, but declined. This is an indication of the confidence his fellow-aldermen have in him to discharge the duties of principal magistrate of the city. The Rev. Brother Duggan, Principal of the Christian Brothers’ College, Kalgoorlie, West] Australia, who formerly held a similar position at Nudgee, Queensland, died at Lewisham, Sydney, on February 24. He was 49 years of age, a native of Tipperary, and possessed high scholastic attainments. The cause of death was hemorrhage, contracted while on a visit to Sydney from Kalgoorlie in December last. The Rev. Father M. Sherin, priest in charge of St. Canice’s, Darlinghurst, and chaplain to his Grace Archbishop Kelly, has been transferred from the ecclesiastical staff of St. Mary’s Cathedral to Chatswood, taking the place of the Rev. Father William Barry, who has left for a year’s holiday trip. As pastor of Chatswood, Father Sherin will cease to be chaplain to the Archbishop of Sydney.
