riversary of the church were held last
Sunday.
Rev. M. Tierney, assisted by num-
Der of clergy, conducted the impress
sive dedicatory exercises in the pres
ence of a large congregation. The
services began at IL o'clock and were
concluded with a solemn high mass
which was celebrated by the Rev. NJ
F. Rigney, Rev. T. W. Dolan being
deason and Rev. E. P. Sullivan sub
deacon of the mass. Rev. N. f. X.

Though enjoying the advantage of
aving divine services conducted |

by the Rev. M, A. sullivan,
Who at the request of the Rt. Rev.
W. Tierney, undertook the work of
'recting church suitable for the
leeds of the people. A generous con-

indy sympathy and practical assist
