at Clones, was dedicated on Sept. s, by
his eminence, Cardinal Logue. About
half a dozen years ago, the Very Rev.

entered on the project of building a new
church to replace the tottering building
which has UP to the present been the sa.-
cred edifice, of the Catholics Of Clones A
site consisting Of an acre and rood was
presented free to Canon O'Neill by an
English Protestant gentleman, Sir Thos.
Leonard The foundation stone was
laid on the 11th of September, 1891, by
the late bishop of Clogher, the Most Rev;
DR.. Donnelly, and the beautiful church
which has been raised up in the inter
vening short space OF four years is an
eloquent testimony to the n1agn ifcent
energy Of the pastor, Canon O'Neill, and
the wonderful generosity Of his faithful
people The total cost of the eGifce will
be $4,000, only small portion of which
remains ,unsubscribed. IL.
