Church Of ST. Ii"s..-Men'ori"t Ch"fch Of
event of our Holy Fathers having happily
passed the years and even the days of Pc
ter, unique in the history of the Church, is
surely deserving of n memorial. In this
view, We have decided to dedicate to God,
under the name and auspices of his Patron
Saint, st. Plus ", the new church to I've
Immediately erected on the corner OF BID
die and Walsh streets, near George street,
where a church has been long needed, aud
where a spacious lot has been secured at Il
Rev. Lawrence Malloy, formerly of st. Jo-
seph's, Texas, has been appointed Pastor
of the new chuI CHI; and he will proceed mt
once to collect, and to make the necessary
arrangements for beginning the building
as soon possible. We earnestly com
mend his labor of love to the Catholics of
Baltimore, af.d of til: Archdiocese general
y. Let ri! participate in this noble UNI
dertaking; let all have the happiness to
place ut least one stone in this Memorial
Church of our dear Holy Father. Let it
lie worthy of linn. and of us his loving
~ desire, is that the ground should be free
Of debt, even before the building will Ice
commenced. Hence We have instructed
the Rev. Pastor to open n subscription for
this purpose, each one subscribing for enc
or more front feet, at SO foot, according
request the Pastors of the various churches
of Baltimore to subscribe for five feet each,
the amount to be paid from the revenues of
the respective churches. This s,of course,
additional to private subscriptions, which
We trust will be abundant. Thus all will
have share in the good work and the
Memorial Church, when erected, will be
practical and permanent commentary on
the late grand and enthusiastic Demonstra-
ion in Baltimore on the occasion of the
V-.l. cx.o
foot or more OF the ground, or who Will con-
tribute generously towards the erection of
the Church of st. Plus, will have their
names enrolled i'll n book to be placed near

Father will be asked for them and their

DIOCESE OF NORTH CAEoLINA.-I Ne,r
Church at -lsherille, Buncombe County, "
f.-About two years ago a large and beau
tiful plot of ground was purchased in this
town, in order to erect thereon n church.
The corner stone was laid last Fall, and on
Sunday, cath September, the new church
was blessed by Rt. Rev. Bishop Gibbons.
This WAS n great event, glad day for the
good Catholics of Ashevlle. Even they
who know nothing of Asheville or its peo-
pie cannot fail to understand this if they
consider that there is no Catholic Church
within one hundred and fifty miles of that
place. Rt. Rev. Bishop Gibbons delivered
q most pertinent and beautiful discourse on
the occasion, and made n most favorable,
and, We hope, lasting impression on his
hearers, many of whom never before heard
Catholic sermon, and but very few of
whom had ever seen n Gu thelic bishop. AS
body, the citizens of Asheville were very
anxious for the erection of Catholic
Church in their town, fact which they
proved by the libcrality with which they
contributed to the building fund. This
good spirit, the fertility of soil, aud we'll
known salubrity of this climate guarantee
