ErheSt IN BROOKLYN Collecting Funds

The Rev. Canon Andrew Rogers, P. P,
OF Ardee, County Louth, Ireland, has lust
arrived in Brooklyn, with special creden-
tials from Cardinal Logue and Bishop
Mcdonnell. authorizing him to collect
FUNDS for completion Of the famous Cath
Ole cathedral at Armagh In Manhattan
his work received the sanction of Arch
bishop Corrigan.
The outside Of this great ediice has
been almost finished and funds are now
required for inside decoration, including
all affairs, furniture. pictures, etc.
The Rev Canon Rogers presides over
one OF the most important Catholic con-
gregations In Ireland, and his mission
to Brooklyn will probably appeal forclbly
to all members OF his faith, and more
particularly to the men and women OF
the Irish race. During his short stay
here he will make his home at 1928 Eighth
street, South Brooklyn.
Cardinal Logues particuaI appeal to
the American people in advocacy of this
cause reads as follows:

''We are told, in the Book of Armagh,
