ataH masses where the rubrics permit |
that special prayer DO said for the Holy
Father ut BenedictiOn of the Blessed Sacra- |
ment; and that religious communities and
schools should have. special devotions for
the same intention. We should also seek
to infuse new life into the work of the
Peters Pence. Our Father is not only
prisoner, but despoiled and poor. He who
has never failed to supply all the spiritual
and corporal wants of others, may now be
in need; of our assistance. Let it be eX-
tended TO him with liberal hand b. his
grateful and loving children"

the presence of large numbers of clergy,
and to- the purity of it's laws and their ad-

Death of Father Trainor.-On Monday,
the 2Sth ult., the Rev. Thomas TrainOr,
pastor of the Church of the Transtgura-
ton, New York, died at the parochial resi-
dence, Mott street, in the forty ninth year
of his age. Father Trainor was native
of the county Tyrone, and came to this
country when yet youth. He was or
dained in the Seminary at Fordham, and it
is but just tribute to the memory of the
deceased clergyman to say, that since the
demise of the lamented Archbishop Hughes
no similar event has occurred to cause such
thorough and heartfult sorrow in the do
cese OF New York. The Rev. gentleman
had been in the enjoyment of his usual
good health up to q week before his de-
Cease. But during the fair for the Found
ling Asylum, in which he took great in

evening on his return to his vicarage, and
this brought on serious cold, resulting in
pleura- pneumonia, to which, after an illness
of q week, he succumbed.
Catholicity has been spreading and per-
meatif1g this country 80 rapidly and effec-
tually that at last it has reached the foun-
tain Of Puritanism, Plymouth, where the
Pilgrim Fathers effected a landing on the
American shores. There arrangements
have been fully completed for the erection
of a Catholic church by Rev. Father Peter
Bertoldt, q jealous and faithful priest,
whose labors have resulted in the erection
of two churches already-one in Wareham
and the other in Harwich, Massachusetts.
The new church at plymouth will be a
wooden structure, and intended for the ac-
commodation of the Catholic population OF
that town, who have been steadily on the
increase oflate.
There was o grand time at San Jose,
California, during the Mission there last

The Mission was brought to close by an
