The Prmate, Most Rev. DIR. Logue.
has written. recommending Father
Kerley's projected new church at Gully.
hanna 10 the generous aid Of all who
desire that Divine worship shall be
brought within reach of the poorest in
suitable and ecclesiastical adiiices.
Father Kerley's present church is,
owing to decay and dilapidation. a
source Of danger to the crowded con-
creation. The roItiDg timbers may at
any time give way, and should they col
lapse when the church IS filled with
people, the cons eouences would be dis.
astrous. The parish is not by any
means a wealthy one, and the people
have already generously subscribed
towards the new church. Father Keriev
then has to appeal to those outside
Crossmaglen and Cullyhanna for aid,
and he trusts that his friends and the
charitable in America will assist him in
carrying out the good work,
