appointment Of a Ne,o Pastor for St. Michae
C"urc@'-2alte large congregation assemble
at snis church last Sunday to witness the Ger
MONIES attendant upon the official annoJinc
ment OF the appointment of new pastor, an
to receive His Grace. Archbishop Perche, wb
it was generally understood, was to be prssen
at 10 O'Clock His Grace, attended by Yer
Rev. 9. Raymond, v. G., Father Murphy, s. J
rather Kane, and several other priests, havin
entered the Sanctuary, High Mass was CON
menced, Father Tobin being the celebrant
Fathers Orser and Heaphy acting as deaco
and spb-deacon. After the first gospel Hi
Grace, taking his seat on the platform of tn
High Altar, addressed the congregation. Ate
|. expressing his pleasure at meeting the goo,
people of st. Michaers parish, he stated that
not liking to make changes, and knowing tina
I" Father Tobin had worked well in theiS midst 70,
some time, he appointed that Rev. gentleman
Pastor of the church He then spoke of the
new society which he was organizing in his
diocese" The Catholic Militant Union, land
exhorted all, men, women and children. to ;o;n
it. At the conclusion of his sermon he gave
the Pontifical Blessing, and Mass was proeeed-
ed with. After all the fatigue OF the morning
it might be supposed that His Grace would at
once retire for rest and refreshment. Not so,
however, for as all the Catholics of the citv
love and revere him as being really their
spiritual Father, ever attentive to their neces-
sites, it is natural that the good people of st.
MchaePs should have wished to testify theft
devotion to him, and as they called at the
presbytery he gave his ring to each one to be
kissed. The band of st. Marys College, under
the leadership of Brother Adelard, enlivened
the occasion with the delightful strains of
appropriate and choice selections of music.
