(From our own correspondent.) August 6. A meeting of the parish committee of the Catholic Federation was held on Sunday last, Mr. J. F. O'Brien (vice-president) presiding. Mr. F. J. Holley, of St. Mary's branch, Christchurch, gave a short address on Federation matters generally, and advised all to work strenuously together to combat the forces now working so insidiously against Catholicity.
At the 9.30 a.m. Mass last Sunday all the men of the parish approached the Holy Table, thereby demonstrating the magnificent spirit of faith now so fully aroused in the parish. There was Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, and throughout the day large numbers attended in adoration. In the evening after the holy rosary Rev. Father Hoare discoursed on the Blessed Eucharist to a large congregation, and stated that if he could foster a great love for the Blessed Sacrament amongst the people he would regard it as one of the crowning works of his mission. The customary procession, participated in by the various societies and sodalities, was then held, followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
