LAYING THE FOUNDAHON STONE OF

A NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH.

The solemnity of laying the foundation stone of the
new Catholic Church at Kensington dedicated to " Our
Lady" took place to -day. His-Grace the Archbishop of
Westminster performed the ceremony, assisted by the
Lord Bishop of Troy (Dr. Morris), Very Rev. Canon
O'Neal, V.G., Very Ray. Dr. Rock, Very Rev. Dr. Knox,
of the Oratory; the ll3v. FF. Connelly, Gorman, Hussey,
Cahill, Dolman, Pennington, Kelly, Toomey ; and the
Carmelite Fathers Lewis and Sebastian. There was a very
largo attendance of the laity, and amongst the ladies pre-
sent were Mrs. M. and J. Murieta, Mrs. Durand, Mrs.
Grey, Mrs. Landon, and Mrs. Nowlan.
The site of the new church is in Newland-terrace, Ken-
sington, and the design for the sacred edifice is the work
of Mr. George Goldie. The style of the church is purely
Gothic. It will be 144 feet long, 59 feet wide, 65 feet
high, and when completed will afford accommodation for
1,200 persons. The builiing of the new church is entirely
owing to the exertions of the Rev. Father Foley, who, with
the Rev. FF. Mitchell and De Burgh, has at present the charge
of the pariah Previous to fixing the stone in position his
Grace placed in a cavity beneath it a crystal vase, hermeti-
cally sealed, containing a copy of the dedication of the
church, a copy of the Times newspaper, and the coins of
the realm usually deposited on such occasions. At the
conclusion of the ceremony the company proceeded to
an elegant marquee, where dejeuner was served, the
Archbishop presiding. His Grace, addressing the
company, said they were assembled that day to
take part in a noble work nobly begun. The present
church at Kensington was not unworthy the parish,
but it was altogether insufficient, and therefore the neces-
sity of erecting a new one. Father Foley had manfully
undertaken that great work, and he would not say he
hoped he would live to see the accomplishment of his
labour, because that would be wishing him a very short
life, as the architect had promised him that by next Easter
mass should be celebrated therein. It would not, of course,
be entirely completed by that time, but it would be in such
a state of forwardness as to admit of the administration of
the sacrament. He had often been asked how Catholics built
so many churches, and he had been often tempted to say
he did not know, because they were as poor as rats. It
was an old saying, as poor as a church mouse, but the
poverty of all the church mice in England would not ex-
ceed the poverty of the rats. The Catholics, however,
were enabled to build their churches bygiving a great deal,
by begging a great deal, by borrowing a great deal,

pre-

in their power to assist Father Foley iu his work ; and
rhor
as the sturdy beggar was a term to be found in the com-
mon law of England, he hoped they would beg sturdily
for him, and if they could do anything by borrowing
that they would do it; in fact, he asked them to do every-
thing they could for him, but not to steal. He asked them,
therefore, to drink "the health of Father Foley, those who
assist him in kis mission, and success to his work." The
Rev. Father Foley said it was six years since he first began
his work. Of course he had met with great difficulties, but by
the kind co-operation of his Grace he had overcome them.
His Grace had encouraged him in every way, and next to
that the devotion and zeal of his own people had enabled
him to bring his labours to a successful conclusion.
Having made that public avowal, he had only to thank
his Grace and the company around him for their kind
wishes.

The health of hie Grace having boon drunk, the com-
pany broke up, after making a very handsome subscrip-
tion towards the expense of the erection of the new church•
