Hundreds of men have seized the opportunity of attending confession and receiving the sacrament. It is expected that when the confessions close this evening every man in the parish will have been heard. A col- lection will be taken tomorrow even- ing to help defray the expenses in- curred during the week. Rev. David W. Kennedy, Rev. Peter J. Moran, Rev. John Cronin and Rev. Walter Orchard, the priests who have been in charge of the mission, will leave this city with the good will of the pa of St. Mary’s, and they will be welcomed back here at some later date.
