Father Callahan expects to be back in Butte about the middle of September. This is his second trip, as he visited the old country in 1897. The high mass at Sacred Heart church last Sunday was of unusual beauty and interest, and an exceptionally exception-ally large number of the congregation was present. The most important feature of the ceremonies was the reading of the mass by Rev, Father Joseph M. Venus, a young priest who was ordained in Helena last Sunday by Right. Rev. Bishop Carroll. The following participated in the services: Assistant priest. Rev. Father Callahan; deacon, Rev. Father James J A. Keating; sub-deacon, Rev. Father S. Boschi; master of ceremonies, Dan Lewis; acolytes, Michael Sullivan and Edward Kiley; censer bearers, George Leahy and John Kiley. One of the most enjoyable features of the service was the music rendered by the children's orchestra. None of the members are over 12 years of age, and their ability would have done credit to a more mature organisation. The sisters sis-ters who have charge of the school taught the young musicians, and much credit is due them. A volunteer choir of thirtV VOl'ceR. Under tllA Airontinn rxf Al len Mahoney, rendered Leonard's mass in an excellent manner, and considering, consider-ing, that this is only their second appearance ap-pearance they did exceptionally well. Rev. Father Venus, who is a Wisconsin Wiscon-sin boy, was educated in St. Thomas' seminary, in St. Paul, where he spent twelve years studying. He will remain in Butte until Friday, when he returns to Helena, and will he located at the I cathedral. He was ordained June 4 by Bishop Carroll - At the 8:30 mass a large class of boys and girls who have been preparing since last September, made their first communion. The girls were all dressed in white and wore wreaths of flowers and looked very pretty. The boys wore black suits with, red roses in the buttonhole but-tonhole and a white ribbon on their arm. It was a sisht long to be remembered re-membered by those present, and one of the most important steps in the lives of the children. |
