The annual reports evidently mani
f! fest that the religious needs ST the
people are being better and better
cared for in the various parts OF the
large diocese. owing to the increasing
number of priests, Diocesan and regu-
lar The systematic establishment of
Parishes and Missions, the numerous
Pious confraternitfes founded, especial
ly the league of the Sacred Heart, the
frequenting of the, tribunal Of Penance,
the yearly increase, OF the number at
Holy Communion, the attendance at
Mass, even daily, the multiplication of
Missions, Retreats, and Devotions of
Forty Hours. the Jealous care of the
Indians by the self Sacrificing Bene-
dictine Fathers-all give ample evil

gress as we'll as material.
