An occasion of unusual interest will be
the celebration here next Sunday by the
Rev. Father Joseph Perrig of his first
solemn high mass. Great preparations
are being made for the event, and it is
expected that some visiting Catholic
clergy will be present.
Mr.. Perrig, as he is at present, IS
Richmonder, and is well known here.
He lived in this city for many years, and
before he decided to enter the Catholic
ministry taught In st. Mary's School.
On Saturday morning next at O'Clock
at ST NIary's Seminary, in Baltimore, he
will be ordained by Cardinal Gibbons,
and on the day following he will celebate
his first mass. The service will be held
at 1880 o'clock at the Sacred Heart
Church in this city, and will be an UNI
usually attractive one. Some Baltimore
priests will probably be present, and a
special musical programme will be rem
dered. AT night Father Perrig will cele-
brate solemn vespers, at which time the
choir will be augmented by chorus OF
twenty male voices.
While no particular field has as yet
been assigned to him, Father Perrig will
