The members Of st. Johns church. IN
Bellaire. are to-day celebrating a great
feast day. The occasion is in honor Of
the Blessed Virgin Mary, mother OF
Jesus Christ, and Our Lady Of Per
petual Help" The people of st. Johns
church have a very tender devotion to
the mother OF the worlds redeemer un-
der the appellation just referred to.
The readers of this paper win remem-
Der the account that was given in the
columns OF the Register relating to the
solemn establishment Of the shrine OF
Our Lady of Perpetual Help" last
March in Bellaire. The erection of the
shrine has been an Impetus to the devo-
ton Of the people towards the mother
of Jesus Christ.
This third Sunday of June and pre-
ceding the feast of st. John the Baptist,
has been assigned by the Catholic
church as the day on which she COM
memorates the many favors obtained
through the effectious intercession of
the Blessed Virgin and in consequence
of which Mary is known to Catholics
as Our Lady of Perpetual Help" Two
reverend fathers from the renowned
college Of the Benedictines in West
moreland county, Pa, are assisting the
pastor Of st. Johns in the celebration
of the feast.
One of the reverend fathers speaks
the Italian language very fluently, and
will deliver an Italian sermon this ave.
ming for the many Italians who live in
Belraire. The reverend fathers assist
ing are Father Laccistus and Father
Ernest. The exercises Of the celebra-
ton will consist of a holy mass at 6
O'Clock this morning, another at 1870,
and a solemn high mass at 10 o'clock.
One OF the visiting fathers will preach
the sermon at the late mass. In the
evening at 7 O'Clock there will be a SER
mon in Italian, but at 1880 there will
take place a grand procession in honor
Of the Blessed Virgin. During the pro-
cession the famous picture of "Our
Lady of Perpetual Help" will be SOL
EMMY carried and the litany of the
Blessed Virgin sung by the school chill
dren. Another sermon will be preached
at this celebration. A very great num-
Der of people approached the sacra-
mentS.
AS the schools of the parish that have
now been in sesyion since last Septem-
Der, are about to close, there is on
exhibition in the school rooms of the
building some of the work done by the
children during the past year. IT.
Johns school has had a very practical
feature in the needlework of the chill
dren. This work done by the little
children is all hand work, and COM
prises all grades, from the plain sewing
to the best embroidery. Besides this,
there is also placed on exhibition the
drawing done in free hand by the
boys, and compositions as well as writ
ten examinations made by the children.
The selection of the exhibits in test
work, such as examinations, is taken
from the ordinary run of the school
work and has not by any means been
especially prepared for the occasion.
The rooms in which this work OF the
children is exhibited will be open to the
public during the whole of this after
noon, beginning with the hour OF two
o'clock. The general public is most
cordially invited to examine the ex-
hibits.
On Wednesday evening the annual
concert marking the close of the school
year will take place in the Columbia
Theater. The programme that has
been arranged by the sisters will be one
out of the ordinary on such occasions.
The rendition will consist in the rem
dition of a tragic drama by the school
children. The famous drama based on
DR.. Wiseman's "Fabiola" has been Sc
lected for the occasion. The drama
gives an idea of the life of the early
Christians and the many difficulties
with which they had to contend in the
practice of their religion, namely, the
early prosecutions. We herewith sub
join a sketch of the programme as 1t
will be rendered on the coming We'd
nesday evening.
