Father Henry McGolrick. on We'd
nesdaY evening, preached an interest
ing sermon on the life Of st. Patrick, in
the Church of the Immaculate Concep-
ton. He referred TO the Irish mission
aries who taught the gospel to the
people of Europe in the early days
Of Irish christianity, and reviewed
the trials and fluctuations of tbs Irish
people for many long years in preserv-
ing the faith at the risk of losing life
and property and every worldly enjoy
ment. Despite the prosecutions to
which the faithful Irish have been sub
jected, they have retained the faith
planted by St. Patrick fifteen hundred
years ago, and that faith is to-day as
fresh and green in the hearts of Irish
men as the shamrock that grows in the
valleys of their native land. While
others have lost the Catholic faith and
into paganism or fallen into
and the vagaries of Protest
antism, the Irish are Catholic to the
core aud are spreading the true faith in
every country where they have settled.
st. Patrick was glorious apostle and
Irishmen have reason to venerate his
memory. His approaching festival
should be appropriately observed by
every Catholic of Irish birth and de.
scent in the city.
