DIOCESE OF AUCKLAND

(By telegraph, from our own resdent.)

July 26. The Grey Lynn parish social in St. Benedict's Hall on last Thursday evening proved eminently successful. Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament took place after the 11 o'clock Mass at the Sacred Heart Church, Ponsonby, on last Sunday. In the evening there was a procession, followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. : Rev. Fathers Taylor, Flynii, Bleakley, and McConnell, recently ordained for this diocese in Wexford and Kilkenny, are to leave Plymouth next September by the Remuera, which is expected to arrive in Wellington early in November. The annual meeting of the united school committees of St. Benedict's parish, announced to be held last Sunday evening, has been, in consequence of the wet weather, postponed until Sunday evening, August 1. The devotion of the Forty Hours' Adoration will begin on Sunday, August 15, at St. Benedict's. His Lordship Bishop Cleary sent a message to the Right Rev. Mgr. Brodie this week through his medical adviser, stating that the operation took place on June 28, and lasted nearly three hours. [The other particulars in the message regarding Bishop Cleary's condition are similar to those in the report sent to us from Sydney, and published elsewhere in this issue.] A general meeting of all the conferences of the St. Vincent de Paul Society was held at St. Bonaventure's Hall, Parnell, on Sunday afternoon. President Little was in the chair. . Right Rev. Mgr. Brodie, V.G., and Very Rev. Chancellor Holbrook, and a very large number of members of the various conferences were present. The greatest interest in the magnificent work of the society was evinced. The representatives of two new branches, one for men and the other for women in Parnell, attended, and were welcomed by the president.
