NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC SCHOOL

The foundation-stone of a new Roman Catholic school at Auburn was laid and blessed hy Archbishop Kelly yesterday. The school is to be named after Sister Mary Alphonsus, who has been teaching at the old school for 34 years. The building is to cost £6500.

"If our Roman Catholic schools teach children to make a right use of their liberty they are doing a most essential work for the prosperity of our nation," said the Archbishop. "All schools should have religious education. The greatest difficulty the nuns have in teaching is with the parents. They will not second the efforts of the teachers." 

An appeal for funds resulted in £550 being subscribed.
