Frt Holy Name society.-Members
of the Holy Name Societies will be in
terested to know that the first Holy
Name Society in this country was
established at st. Charles Church,
Marion County, Kentucky, by Father
Nerinckx. The record, in his own
handwriting, preserved at Loretto,
shows that he established the society
on the fourth Sunday of Lent, in 1909,
and that he kept it up for ten years,
till 1919. The long list of names, so
familiar as family names in Kentucky,
is very interesting. 1t should awaken
the zeal of the Holy Name Societies
of today to know that Father Nerinckx
found the society an effectual means
of promoting piety and religion.
Church at Fort William Dedicated.
On October 9Th Bishop Scotland,
of Sault Ste Marie, dedicated St.
Peters Church, Fort Williams, Ont.
After he had blessed the church, High
Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father
Maynard, Father Caisse of Port
Arthur, acting as Deacon, and Father
P. Bournival, of st. Boniface College,
Manitoba, as Sub-deacon. After the
celebration Father Maynard spoke to
the congregation in Slavok, Italian and
English. Then Bishop Scotland de.
livered an instructive sermon to the
congregation. Four years ago the
edifice that the Catholic community
had raised in the Coal Docks, Fort
William, was reduced to ashes, and
Bishop Scotland, who was to have per-
formed the dedicatory services, had
burnt beams and scorched bricks tC
welcome him. 1t was sad blow tc
the Catholics, especially of the SlavoA
section, but under the cheerful guild
ance of Father Maynard they set tt
work to repair their losses and the
new church is the result.
