CARLOW.
On May rs, solemn office and requiem
mass for the repose of the soul of the
late Rev. Thos. Kehoe, P. P, Bally-
adams and Wolfhill, were celebrated in
the parish church, Ballyadams. The
deceased pastor had reached ripe old
age, but, for some years past, failing
health had incapacitated him from the
active discharge of his sacred duties.
Father Kehoe, in earlier years, had been
parish priest of Clonbullogue, and was,
in 1874, translated to the pastorate in
which he had labored so zeaiously. A
very large congregation filled the
sacred edi6ce. Very Rev. Monsignor
Phelan, P. P, marlborough, presided
in the choir. The requiem mass was
sung by Rev. John Maher. c. c., Lug
gacurran, attended by Rev. Daniel
Rourke, c. c., as deacon, and Rev. P.
Loughlin, c. c., as subdeacon. Rev.
James Dempsey, P. P, Aries, officiated
as master of ceremonies, and the chant
ers were Rev. John James, &C, Mount
mellick, and Rev. Daniel Doyle, c. c.,
Mountmellick. A large body of the
clergy were in the sanctuary.
DUBLIN.
In Dublin, on May 27, meeting was
held in aid of the funds for the renova-
ton and improvement OF S. Michael
and Johns church, Lower Exchange
street. His grace, the archbishop Of
Dublin, presided, and in his opening
remarks described his presence on the
occasion as a simple and pleasing duty,
as he was born in the parish. 'It was
in this church," he said, IT made my
first confession and communion. 1t was
here that I was confirmed, and it was
here that first stood at the altar as a
priest to say my first mass" AS his
grace pointed out, great part of the
work has been already completed What
remains to be done demands sum OF
money which the generosity of the par
ish will not fail to supply. The arch
bishops Jealous advocacy and generous
donation have helped, alike by precept
and example, to bring work of urgent
necessity to what promises to be a
speedy and successful close.
