ARCHDIOCESE OF New YoRx-Catholie
Wissions.-The devoted band of Redenln
tOrist Missionaries that have lately been IN
Georgia and Florida, are expected home
| toward the close of this week. On q Lou
Sunday" the 18th inst. they are to open 1.
mission at old st. Patrick's cathedral, Null
berry street, in this city. The various re-
ligious orders devoted to giving missions
have been at work during the past weeks
and months, but only scanty and passing
notices reach us of what they have been
doing. The Passionist Fathers, from their
mountain retreat at West Hoboken, have
been at work in Connecticut. They have
had nothing to say on politics, for however
important political issues, those of the Pas
sionists have to deal with are of more ur-
gency. They have to deal with the four
last things-death, Judgment, heaven, or
he'll. Thus they have been giving a mission
during the last month at st. Patrick's
church, New Haven; and another at Hart
ford, at the church of which the Rev. Mr..
Lynch is the pastor. But this scanty notice
that we have heard about it. The sons of
st. Dominic, also, are in the missionary
field. Our distinguished friend, Rev. Canon
Walsh, of Exeter, New Hampshire, writes
that they are giving missions in Connecti-
cut; and that he expects them soon in the

of Dominican missions the past winter

1t was our happy privilege to witness the
celebration of the feast of the glorious st.
Joseph, in the convent Of the devoted
Sisters who bear his name, in Flushing, L.
l., on Thursday, the 10Th of March, At an
early hour in the morning the young ladies
Of the academy completed a retreat given
them by the Rev. S. Malone, of Williams
burgh, by the reception of the God of all
sanctity in the sacrament of His love- In the
afternoon the double ceremony of profession
and blessing of the new convent took place.
The Right Rev. j. Loughlin officiated, as
sisted by the Rev. J. Turner, V.G., Rev. NJ.
Rev. y. Corcoran, Rev. j. Campbell, and
Rev. L. Mulligan. Although SO recently
established on the island, this community
with the cooperation of the jealous efforts
OF the Rev. }. O'Beirne, pastor of st. Mi
chaels, have succeeded in the erection of a
convent, of which they may feel proud, and
which will compare to advantage with any
institution of the kind in New York. We
wish all success to their noble endeavors in
behalf OF religion and education.
The Very Rev. d. Delorme, Vicar General
of the Archdiocese of Oregon, left this port
by steamer Of the 4th of April, en- route to
Europe. We wish the reverend gentleman

March 30, at eleven A. NJ, Sister Nj. Albina

NJ, of the same day, Sister NJ. Clementine,
sister of Mr.. p. NJ. Haverty, publisher, of
this city. The obsequies, which took place
on Tuesday, March 81, were unusually i'm
pressive, owing to the sad coincidence of
the two religious having died ON the same
day, in the same house, after a long period
OF suffering. There were other condolences
no less striking. By a rare dispensation of
Providence, each of the departed had been
attended, during her last days of life, by a
sister according to the flesh. Sister Glenn
entine had the consolation of having by her
bed of death, Sister NJ. Celestial, kindly
sent for from Providence, r. l., for the pur-
pose, by Mother Jerome, and Sister Albina
had also near her own sister, in religion
Sister NJ. Thomas. The deceased religious
were, SO to say, old members of the com
munity, although neither were old in years. |
Sister Clementine had been sixteen wears a
Sister of Charity-nine of which she spent |
at st. Peters school; Sister Albina was
fourteen years in religion, most of which
time she was at ST. Paul's, Brooklyn. 1t

dead religious lay, side by side, before the
altar in their beautiful chapel, which was
filled with the relatives of the deceased

light that fell upon their still, white faces,
