Holy Communion Class at St. Mary's Churoh-?olish Society Holds Picnic Personals and Notes.

Sunday morning at the 730 o'clock mass in St. Mary's church a class of 59 children, 2t girls and 35 boys re- ceived their first holy communion from the hands of the pastor, Rev. John H. Fitzn1auriCe. The class, having passed the required test some few weeks ago, spent the past week in retreat-as a worthy preparation for the reception of the saCrament-by attending the daily parish mass and listening to Q, short instruction or the merits of the sacra- ment. Sunday morning they marched from their assembly rooms and took seats reserved in the main aisle.
 During the announcements for the week, F'r. FitzmauriCe took the OppOT- tunlty to congratulate the class on the reception of the sacrament considered by all the happiest day of their life, urged them to keep free from sin and it's occasions, and to practice receiving the sacrament often. Following the mass, he enrolled them in the ScapuIar of Our Lady of Mount Carmel as a means of protection from danger and temptation.
 The class comprised the following members: Margaret BarbeTa Mary YeTrin9tOn, Gertrude FOntaine. Fran Ces Rinela, Anna Enright, Catherine MusselI, Anna Carroll Veronica Rob erts, Evelyn Caron, Alice Fitzgerald, EOrine Shea. Agnes Dunn, Margaret Fahey, Anna Delaney, Alice Fox, Mary Donovan, Mary BrongnO, Josephine Pusateri, Rose Rinella, Frances Gala han, Mildred Anna Brennan, Olive Anna McCune, Frances Barno, Mary Iires, Rudolph Caron, Richard Bundy Joseph Delaney, Gerald Delaney, RO- land Langevin, Thomas Houlihan Henry Vaudry, James Ward, William Higgins, George MCNamara, William SelvidiO, Leslie Carroll Harry Martin, Robert Williamson, Vincent BrOphy Raymond POrtelanCe, John Ferry James Riley, James Barry.

Frank GelinO, John O'keefe, Emmett Grove, John COnnel- ly, Harry Pepin, Harry Raymond Hooker, Domirick Faicone, James Fall cone, Thomas Shea, Alfred BaIlestracci Frank Myers, Silvian Gagnon.
 During the celebration of the mass Horace c. Corning rendered Ave Maria at the offertOry and, following the conservation, Holy God We Praise Thy Name, in an excellent voice. At this service both branches of the Holy Name society renewed their monthly holy communion and to gain the bless ings attached to first holy communion classes many of the parents, relatives and friends of the class received the sacrament also. The usual floral dec- orations graced the altar and sanctu- ary.
