| gether. Every morning during mass the CyedO
! should be sung, and after mass profession OF
| faith should be read and the Canticle Of the
| Sacred Heart chanted. In the evening three
| times Parce Domino q humble apology, and the
Canticle Of our Lady OF Salvation should be pro.
nounced. The general administration OF the
Holy Communion takes place on the 22d Of July
and the ed Of August.
