he has just finished a strenuous week
at the Catholic Educational COnvcn,
tiOn at Buffalo. This is a most worthy
cause and SO often a thankless work.
SO many people are prone to neglect
such important questions and let the
other man do il that il is commend
able on Father Larkins part that he
takes such interest in such a vital
question as Catholic education in this
county
He viii remain some time North. as
there is no special need of his return
ing at present. Father Cassagne is
running the affairs of the parish ac-
cOrding TO HOyle so far.
Father CasSagne returned from a
trip to Grand Isle and other points on
the missions connected with St
Joseph's Church, Gretna. The party
was in charge of Captain Harvey. The
journey was a happy combination OF
missionary work and pleasure.
Father McGrath, S. NJ, and Mr. Ma.
dOre were of the party. Many anus
ing incidents took place, the tradi-
tiOnal big fish had to get away, etc,
but, all told. ii was a grand excursion.
The people had never heard such
elOquence as was dispensed to them by
Father CaSsagne
Several friends of Father CasSagne
came to Algiers last Monday to wish |
him happy feast. Among them were |
classmates whom he had not met for |
years. Several of the Jefferson fathers
on their way to their vacations were
also among the guests. 1t was a graft
flying tribute to a Jealous and hard
working priest.
Genial Father Collins, s. NJ. vice
president of Jefferson College. is at
the Rectory for few days, on his way
to New England.
Rev. Father Bower, S. NJ, formerly
from New Zealand, is also a guest at
the Holy Name R6ctUry.
HOLY NAME SOCIETY.
A well-attended meeting of the pre.
fects took place Monday evening. II
was gratifying to realize the society
had hundred cOmmunions to its
credit for June. At that rate record
will be established for this wear.
James Hogan presided at the meet
ing of the projects and Sid CafierO.
Alonzo Bourgeois, John Kline, Messrs. ;
Belanger, Laughlin and Blase were {
present. {
HOLY NAME JUNIORS.
The Juniors had their first real out. J
ing last Thursday and, in the language I
OF the modern Shakespeare. il was
some outing. Eighteen formed the d
party, and from the departure to the d
return nothing but JOY was on tap.
The boys went to West End, rentec
pavilion and skiffs ana oh, my. d,
what time. The old lake has seldom
been disturbed by such a jolly crowd.
swimming, fishing, boating and much
shouting were INDUCED in. Some Il
caught crabs, others were caught by "
them, others swan around and around
al day, coming back much sunburneu.
