Park City. June II, 1902.
Editor Intermountain Catholic:
Right Rev Bishop Seaman came up
from the city on Saturday morning $
train and Immediately after his arrival
repaired to the church, where he ex-
amined in Christian doctrine every
child in the confirmation class.
On last Sunday morning occurred one
of the grandest ceremonies of the year
when Right Rev. Bishop Seaman of
Salt Lake City administered the sac
rament of confirmation to a large class
of children at St. Mary's church. The
bishop said the o'clock mass and the
children of the confiI nation class re-
ceived holy communion from his hands.
Before 10 o'clock the children assem-
bled in the class rooms of the school,
and as they filed into the church for the
10 o'clock mass, which was said by
Father Galligan, they made a beautiful
picture-the girls in pure white wear
ing Wreaths and wells and the boys in
neat black suits, each one carrying a
prettily decorated candle. After mass
the bishop preached an eloquent SER
mon appropriate to the occasion, and
after confirming the children, he spoke
beautifully to them of the sacrament
they had just received, and at the con-
clusiOn they all repaired to the differ
ent class rooms. The sisters certainly
deserve an unlimited amount of credit
for the department of the children. Mr..
Henry Welsh stood sponsor for the
boys who were confirmed, and Mrs.
Henry Welsh for the girls. The class
has been for some time under the in
structon of Rev. Father Galligan, and
was the largest in the history of the
church at Park City, numbering over
100. The affairs were deliberately
adorned for the solemn occasion by
Miss Malone and Miss Florence, Kelly;
ported plants were in profusion, and
exquisite cut flowers provided by Miss
Agnes Harrington surrounded the tab
ernacle The regular choir under the
direction of Miss Malone, rendered APP
propriate music.
At , o'clock the students of st.
Mary's school entertained the bishop
by rendering programme consisting
of Choruses, an address, songs, etc. I'm
mediately after the entertainment the
bishop left for Salt Lake. promising the
students of St Mary's that he would
make a great effort to be present at
their closing exercises on June 20.
