Unfortunately, Fr. de Maria died scarcely ten days after he had reach ed home. The late Priest, born in Pied- most in 1888, was widely known in- « Hongkong, having resided here sace im mediately after his ordination in 1889. All his activities, except a short period of 3 years in the Hoifung district, were spent in Hongkong, where he was noted koen educationalist He was the correspondent for, the Catholic schools a well as a member of the local Board of Education: The progress of the local Catholic schools show that his efforts on their behalf wore not in rain. Fr. de Maria was also the popular Parish Pricst

Ou the day he left for 'home, he assisted në the laying down of the corner-stone of the new St. Margaret'a Church in Board- wood Road, and in the speech he then made expressed his strong hope of coming back soon to take up his duties there. His constant and kind hearted disposs- tion had made for him a host of friends, good-bye on board are he left. All thoes" very large number of whom bid him who knew the late Fr. P. de Maris will bo grieved to hear of his death.
