crowded with the friends and relatives of FIVE
young ladies who were about to become Sisters
of the Order of st. Joseph. His Grace, the
Archbishop, being absent from the city, Faith
'er Berchem, C.SS. R., oficiated. The ceremony,
which is always of beautiful and edifying
mature, was on this occasion made more effec-
Rive by the unusual concourse of clergymen,
among whom we noticed Fathers Pompallier
and Gautherin, of the Society of Mary, Faivre,
C.SS.R., and Hoste, chaplain of the convent.
"a very able discourse in French was delivered

81 SCHOOLS IN THE SECOND DIsTRIcT.-Those
rho imagine that all the activity and life
|&hown in Catholic affairs in this city are con-
med to the uptown parishes, are very much
mistaken That there are Jealous and ener-
&etic men at work in the lower portion of the
e6fty, will at once strike the observer who COM
mares the condition Of affairs there now with
8hat it was but few years ago. Take, for
Instance, the small parish in which is situated
he archiepiscopal residence, st. Mary's (com-
IHaonly called the Archbishop's) Church, and
which is under the immediate charge of Very
Hey. G.. Raymond, v. G Here, within the
hort space Of three years, we find the follow
sfng improvements A new, large and commodi-
ons brick building, which stands upon the site
s&2 the old Ursuline Convent, and which is now
ths diocesan seminary. The average number
of ecclesiastical students at the seminary is
tsenty -fonr. Then We have the splendid Con-
3v~nt of the Sacred Heart, large brick
shsilding, purchased by Father Raymond for
5000, and the repairs on which cost $1,000.
kal
Ssreen Chartres and Royal streets, and is under
ztAe control of the Sisters of the Holy Cross.
xypon the lot Immediately adjoining that on
3shich stands the convent. Father Raymond
A4s had erected q large two-atory brick build
Ing, which be used as the parochial school
&se girls. This school is also taught by
she Sisters of the Holy Cross. Now, for the
toys, we have the College of the Brothers
1f the Sacred Heart, at the corner Of Chartres
5.sd Barracks streets. and the Parochial School
as the rear of st. Mary's Church. Nor has
Hnsher Raymond been neglectful of the well
SSee of the colored people. He has instituted
- achool for colored girls at the corner of
sslanade and Chartres streets, Third District,
&1sn has already commenced the foundation of
achool for colored boys. The girls school is
Hs6er the charge of q society Of colored sisters
41sich was founded some years ago by the late
Ftsry Rev. Father Rousselon, who was Father
&symond's predecessor. Thus it will be seen
fkat besides the Seminary, Father Raymond
igrso founded Elk schools in his very small and
SeEnparatively poor parish. For progressive
h&bs and energy then, We believe that all will
6fgeee with us in the opinion that few parishes,
Z Il my, have been favored with clergymen who
&&n surpass our Vicar General.
ssr. ANSE's PARIsn-The Very Rev. A. Tu-
1fbine, pastor of this beautiful church, has
4sfnmenced the erection of n new parochal
phool-house upon property belonging to the
tkurch on Roman street, between st. Philip
and Ursulines streets. The building will be
ffo stories high, twenty-nine feet in width by
1Ey-one in length, and will be completed in
Bout a month The upper portion will be CO.
N.pied by the boys and the lower by the girls,
,st they will be so divided that the young
eople will be completely separated as
tbugh the Mississippi flowed between them.
