It may not be uninteresting to your Catholic readers to know, that Father Mounier of the Marist Fathers opened a Spiritual Retreat in this parish on Thursday, 28th May, which finally closed on Sunday evening, 14th June. One of the objects of his visit was to assist the pastor of the district, Father O'Quinlivan, in instructing those who were preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. [...] On Sunday, 14th June, his Lordship the Bishop of Maitland arrived at the Terrace, somewhere about 11 o'clock. The persons who had been preparing for Confirmation were awaiting him at the school house, and on his arrival they walked in procession to meet his Lordship to the residence of Father O'Quinlivan; thence the procession proceeded to St. Bridgets's Church, the children as they walked sang some of those beautiful hymns of the Church. [...] The Holy Sacrament of Confirmation was then administered by the Bishop, assisted by Father Mounier to eighty-six persons—forty-five male and forty-one female. [...] At the conclusion the persons who had been Confirmed walked back to the residence of our worthy pastor, in the same order they entered the church, the children again singing on their return in procession, his Lordship with Fathers Mounier and O'Quinlivan, joining as before. [...] June 19th, 1868. |
