several days holding Confirmation scrv-

as it was the first occasion on which a
Bishop had visited the parish. Bishop
O'Gorman spent the night with Rev.
John O'Hara at the new Parish res

much satisfaction with the conditions

thought it would have been better if
a little larger.

approved for an edifice to cost not less
than $4,000. this being none too small
an amount to eXpend for church to
