PARISH NOTES.
The feast of the Assumption of the
Blessed Virgin was beautifully cele-
brated at Mercy hospital, where be-
fore the altar in the little chapel two
young women prostrated themselves,
renouncing the world with all its
fleetng pleasures and giving their in
nocent lives to Goa. The young
women who pronounced their first
vows and entered upon their novi-
itate were Miss Theresa Campbell IF
Goldfield, Nevada. who will hereafter
be known as Sister Mary Bernadine
and Miss Theresa Dietz of Pueblo,
Colorado, whose name in religion is
Sister Mary Christine. Rt. Rev. Bish-
op Matz presided at the ceremony
which took place Immediately preced-
ing six o'clock mass, which likewise
marked the close Of the annual re-
treat for the Sisters Of Mercy. Rev
z. j. MOntell, S. j., Of Sacred Heart
college, who conducted the exercises
OF the retreat, assisted Bishop Matz.
as did also Rev Patrick Conway at
present acting as chaplain of Mercy
hospital The sermon was preached
by Rev. Father Montell. The altar
was beautiful with its cut flowers and
myriads Of waXen candles and despite
the early hour many friends were
present to witness the touching and
beautiful ceremony
