AN APPEAL TO IRISH FAITH AND LOVE OF ST. PATRICK RAETIHI In the raging bush fire that swept this district in 1918 our little church (St. Patrick’s) at Raetihi was burnt to the ground. We are now making an attempt to -raise funds to replace that little church in a permanent material which will withstand the brunt of future fires as the Irish' Faith has withstood the brunt of the fires of persecution. To us, -who have the Faith from Ireland, the name of Patrick is sweet music to our ears. Here, is a practical way. :> to show our gratitude for our Irish Faith and our love for St. Patrick, by helping to raise a church worthy of pur Faith and of our glorious Saint at Raetihi. Send- a brick; (5/-) to-day for St. Patrick’s Church, Raetihi. All donations acknowledged in the Tablet. : Address for donations — •' : ; —V - - FATHER GUINANE, : " v- .. r ...>. %■>. ... . Ohakune.
