Bishop Maurice St. Palais on his annual visit to the abbey conferred minor orders on the Philosophy students, subdeaeonships on the first year candidates to Theology, deaconships on those of the second year and ordained four of the third year candidates today. Those ordained are; William Book of St. Joseph's Ind.; Anthony Schenk of St. Philipp's, Ind.; Joseph Merkel of St. Joseph's, Ind. and Joseph Schurk of Spayer, Germany. The eastern wing of the new Convent building, the cornerstone of which was laid last year, is almost finished. Its walls are of white sandstone and are 222 feet in length and 54 feet high. He asks McMaster to accept this as a sign of life and gratitude. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
