Death Of sister Rosanna Morgan.

Sister Rosanns Morgan, Sister of Charity OF
st. Vincent, died at Nstehsz, Miss, Sunday
morning, May 9th, 1877.
She was born in st. Mary's county, Mary
land, being of one of the old Catholic families
of that State, and she was nearly eighty ears
of age.
The last twenty-five years of her life she
spent at st. Mary's Orphan Asylum, NatcheE
She rendered very great service there by
teaching the larger orphans fne sewing. by
which, in better times, they earned much Of
the support of the Asylum, besides fitting
themselves to make their own livelihood after
they left.
Her death was in some respects SAD ana TO
one less prepared, it might seem terrible but
to o Sister of Charity, and one as faithful and
as humble as che always was, nothing could
be terrible nor unwelcome. that pleased her
Divine Lord and Heavenly Spouse.
On Friday afternoon, the 25th, she fell down
q long flight of steps, on to q brick pavement.
cutting her head severely and breaking her
right wrist. She was taken up insensible
She recovered her consciousness for few
minutes, while she was receiving Extreme
Unction. Another time she asked for the
Holy Viaticum, but before she could receive it
she relspsed into her unconscious state. She
had, however, received Holy Communion that
same morning, and she had received tie holy
Sacrament of Penance but few minutes be-
fore the accident. Indeed, it was for the pnr-
pose of making her confession that she had
gone to the chapel, frem which she was return
ing when sbs/ fell. She had stopped few
minutes with the Superior ard some of the
other Ssters, talking with them very gaily,
and remarkin8 that she felt happy now since
she had got to confession again. The week
before she had been too feeble to 60 to church
on the usual day of confessions.
Her last act was an exercise of watchfulness
as good Sister of Charity.
A little child playing on the gallery was in
some danger of hurting herself, and Sister
Rosanna turned to caution her, just at the
moment that she was herself putting her foot
npon the step. Apparently this turning of hel
head caused her to miss her footing, and
brought about the catastrophe.
Aud SO this last little act of charity filled up
the measure of her services to God and hel
peighbor. The well-ripened fruit fell, and
was garnered into the Treasury of God.

oALxHpAR OF THE WEEK.
Burning Of a Paroehial Residence.

During the night of the Both Of May, the
parochial residence Of the church of st. Charles
commonly known ss the Red Church, was
completely destroyed by fire, which was, in
all probability, the effect of design. The Rev.
Father suriray, Pastor of st. Charles, awakened
by The fire, had barely time to save himself
with few clothes, without being able to save
any of the ccntents of his residence. Every
thing became prey to the fames,-furniture,
books, linens, provisions. He could not even
save his chslice or his breviary. Father
Suriray thus finding himself destitute is
authorized by us to apply to charitable per
Sons, particularly to ecolesiastics and religious
communities, for ut least such things as are
necessary to subsistence and to the exercise of
the holy ministry. We exhort all persons ap-
piled to by him to assist him.

were confirmed in this Church by His Grace,
the most Rev. Archbishop OF New Orleans.
Besides these, three other persons, prepared at
st. Johns Church, were, for valid reasous
confirmed at st. Michsel's. Considering that
last year over 400 persons were confirmed at
st. Johns Church, the numerical strength of
