(From our own correspondent.) October 2. The quarterly Communion of the members of the Hibernian Society took place at the 7.30 o’clock Mass on Sunday, when there was a good attendance. The members of the sodality of Children of Mary also approached the Holy Table in very large numbers. Mr. J. S. McGrath, an old boy of the Mari-st Brothers’ School, who has spent some ten years in the East, has been visiting his home in Invercargill. Ho leaves next week on his return to Burma. Last week, Mrs. Fulton, of / Waikiwi, gave a. very enjoyable evening at her residence in aid of the bazaar funds. There was a large number of visitors, who were enjoy ably entertained by the hostess. The much-talked-of bazaar will commence in the Victoria Hall on Wednesday evening, the 4th inst., and will be continued until the following Saturday week. At the Masses on Sunday the beopl© were exhorted to patronise the bazaar and generously assist it. The stall-holders have accomplished a great amount of preliminary work, and it only remains for parishioners to do their share by attending and liberally Supporting the enterprise. It is hoped that the financial results will eclipse any similar effort in the past. I understand that the tender for the erection of St. Joseph’s School has been accepted, and that the work of erection will be gone on with immediately.
