Dr. GOMEZ briefly stated the objeos fam. which he had erected the orphanage sud then formally presented the keys to Bishop Pozzoni, expressing the hope that the OT nstitution would fulfil adequately the purpose for which it was intended.
Bishop Pozzoni, in thanking Dr. Gonk for his munificant gift, said There ar here and there some persons who, enlighten ed and blessed by the grace of God, wish to enter our religion, but being too poor. to provide the means of removing to Christian village, they cannot learn those indispensable doctrines of our religion to enable them to be admitted to baptism and the consequent sacraments. The necessity of a house to maintain and shelter these poor good-willed people during the time necessary for them to learn the catechism has been a long-felt want. U to now this necessity has been met in a very limitad way by the priests in charge of the Rosary
Church, who have sheltered these people
in the basement of their house. Although the place is narrow, and instruction could only be imparted under serious difficulties the priests have the great satisfaction of
