Tierney's first official visit to St. Edwards parish were attended by very large num- bers. St. Edwards hall was crowded to it's full capacity Saturday evening, at the reception and entertainment given in the bishops honor. The children acquitted very creditably in the enter tainment. On Sunday at 8 o'clock Bishop Tierney celebrated low mass. At 1O.3O solemn high mass was celebrated by Fath- CT McKeon of New Haven, former pas tor. At this mass Bishop Tierney assist ed, attended by Fathers Coyle and Me- Carthy, pastor and curate. Rev. T. w. Frederick, who was to preach at this mass, was unable to be present, and the sermon was delivered by Father Coyle. Bishop Tierney also made few congrat- ulatory remarks during the service. At 3 o'clock the church was packed, to wit ness the ceremony of confirmation. Bish- op Tierney, from his seat on the highest altar-step, addressed the children in plain, concise words on the responsibilities as- ment. Then Wi Aisdf dfesesption sp of the saera- CT McKeon and Rev. J. F. Lee of Monsoh, he administered the sacrament of con- firmation to about 100 children and sey- eral adults. After this, in an equally in- spring manner, he again spoke to the confirmed ones on the evils of intemper- ance, and in 8 few moments had received from them all a pledge to abstain from all intoxicating liquors for the period of ten years. Cancellation of the blessed sacra- ment then followed, conducted by the bishop, and the services at the church were over.
