FATHER CARROLL'S ANNIVERSARY

Although the work on the proposed
parish hall and school, in St Patrick's
parish. has been deferred several times,
it is not unlikely that within three
months, or perhaps a little longer, ground
for the new building will be broken, in
Bramhall Park, opposite the church.

the member of the Catholic Club, who
is more anxious to have the work START

on the second Sunday in June, which

ordination as a priest. However, there
