Lyttelton

(From a correspondent.) On Sunday, the devotion of the Forty Hours’ Adoration began at St. Joseph’s Church, Lyttelton. The celebrant of the Missa Cantata, preceding the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, was the pastor (Rev. Father Cooney). The sermon on Sunday evening was preached by Rev. Father Long, of Christchurch Cathedral, and that on Monday night by Rev. Father Bridgwood, M. 5.11., Lincoln/ The devotion concluded on Tuesday morning after a IVlissa Cantata by Rev. Father Bridgwood, and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The parishioners approached the Sacraments in large numbers, during those days of grace, the members of the archconfraternity of the Blessed Sacrament, about thirty in number, being conspicuous among them.
