The dedication of the new Roman Catholic Cathedral, recently erected to the west of Victoria-square, was celebrated on Sunday last, when there were at least 600 persons present.

A serious event happened here last Sunday. The Rev. J. Fallon was on Sunday morning in his usual health, and he was walking towards the stable when he suddenly fell down senseless. Medical aid was immediately summoned, and Dr. Blood arrived within 20 minutes, but all his efforts were unavailing, as were those of Dr. Popham, who arrived shortly before his death, which occurred about 7 o'clock p.m. He was buried on the following Tuesday. His funeral was one of the largest Kapunda ever witnessed; there could not have been less than 300 persons present of all denominations. He was buried in front of the altar by the Very Rev. M. Ryan, assisted by the Revs. Carew and Smyth. [...]

Catholic Education, South Australian Advertiser, Adelaide, 29 September 1860, p 3, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article824549:

A very crowded meeting of Roman Catholics was held on Thursday evening, September 27, in the Chapel, West-terrace, Bishop Geoghegan in the chair, for the purpose of agreeing to a petition to be presented to Parliament, respecting the present education system. [...] The Rev. Mr. Carew said he had come a long distance solely to be present that evening to protest against the system of education which that meeting had assembled to put a stop to. The system had a direct proselytising operation, which was grievous to the Catholic. It was also an unconstitutional system, because it interfered with the freedom of conscience. It was unconstitutional in every respect, but first with regard to the consciences of Catholics; because the system assumed that the Catholics could look upon the system of education in the same light as others; but they could not, and, therefore, it took away from them their freedom of conscience.

Penola, The Border Watch, Mount Gambier, 16 February 1867, p 2, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article77079491:

On Sunday last Father Woods preached his farewell sermon at St. Joseph's. The church was crowded, and the congregation were evidently much affected at parting with a pastor who had so endeared himself to them. The subject of the sermon was the duty of the priest to his flock and of the flock to their pastor. Immediately after the sermon a deputation of the congregation attended and presented a parting address to the very rev. gentleman. The Rev. S. Carew read the address, which ran as follows: To The Very Reverend J.E. Tenison Woods. [...] On Tuesday a deputation of the residents of the South East waited upon the Very Rev. J. E. Tenison Woods to present him with an address upon his leaving the district, and also with a purse which had been subscribed for the purpose of purchasing scientific books or instruments. [...] The Rev. S. Carew and the Rev. C. Van der Heyden were present during the presentation. [...]

The St Vincent (Captain Louttit), which, in company with the Chilena and other English-bound ships, is now lying at the anchorage, will sail to-morrow for London. She will carry 17 saloon and 16 steerage passengers, besides two who proceed to the Cape. The passenger-list includes the names of [...] the Rev. S. Carew, and others. It is probable that the passengers will proceed by steamer from the fort, and embark on board the St Vincent to-day.

Carew, Simon, Irish
Early All Hallows Priest in Adelaide
All Hallows records, copied recently on the spot by the Commission Secretary, F.D. Minogue, indicate that Simon Carew was born in Cappoquin, County Waterford in 1833. He entered All Hallows in 1850 and went on to Propaganda College, Rome, where he was ordained in April, 1857. Coming to the Adelaide Diocese we find, according to newspaper records that he was stationed in Kapunda (1860) as assistant to Fr. Michael Ryan V.G. Bishop P.B. Geoghegan in one of his many letters describes the curate as "ailing", which can be taken to mean an "infirmity", an expression used in a letter three years later to Father Laurence Smyth. All Hallows records state that he was assistant to Father Daniel Fitzgibbon in Mount Gambier in 1865 and 1868. And there the trail comes to an halt...
