When DR.. Creighton was Bishop OF
London" he said, ''he rode on a train

Under the heading of "A Royal
Bishops Work" the San Francisco
Monitor gives the following informa-
ton about Bishop da Silva. who is
coming to Honolulu in the Manchuria
and will have a public reception at
the Catholic Mission this evening:
There are at least 100000 Portu-
guese Catholics in the United States,
and their numbers are pretty evenly
divided between the New England
States, and the Pacific Coast, mostly
California. With these figures in mind,
it can be well. imagined what sig
nificant event the visit of Bishop da
Silva to this country has been. Bishop
da silva has come to America to
visit his compatriots sojourning in this
country, to preach for them, admins
ter the sacraments to them, advise
them and otherwise look after their
spiritual needs What all this means
can hardly be estimated; certainly the
revival of religious feryor, the spur
ring on to new endeavors, that the
visit of a Bishop from their own home
country inspires among the Portuguese
can not be easily measured. In many
cases it means a return to duty and
the Faith.
IN the New England States there
are twenty-five Portuguese priests and
fourteen churches provided for the
Catholics from sunny Iberia. Fall
River has three of these churches, New
Bedford and Taunton each two, while
Boston, Cambridge, Providence, Glou-
cester, Lowell, Lawrence and Prov
.incetown each have one.
Bishop da Silva has been in Cali

ing he has been Indeed busy man.
