Perhaps never before in his many yeais of episcopal visitations has the most reverend archbishop of Chicago, James Edward Quigley, D. D., wit­ nessed such a complete renewal and rejuvenation of a parish, within and without, spiritually and temporarily, during the brief period of one year, as St. Peter's parish, Volo, presented it­ self to his grace on last Tuesday after­ noon. December 1. The archbishop arrived from Wauconda at 1:30 o'clock and was formally greeted by the rev­ erend pastor, Francis J. Epstein, and the many visiting members of the clergy, who had arrived via Mcllenry from Chicago with the ^norniri^ train. At 3 o'clock a solemn procession, con­ sisting of the school children, Young Men's society, Holy Name Men's so­ ciety; St. Peter's Court of Foresters, a class of forty-three cotifirmands, ser­ vers and priests, conducted his grace from the rectory to the church. After a brief instruction on the essence of the sacrament of' confirmation, the c'ass came forward to be anointed with holy chrism, to receive the "Pax" and thus with a solemn profession of faith on their lips to be enrolled as soldiers of the great army of Christ and His only true church. Thereupon his grace again addressed the congre­ gation, coupling his words of encourag- ment with kind exhortations and fa therly advice for their future guidance. His grace highly commented* on the present excellent condition of the par­ ish and was profuse with his encomiums for parish and people. The sponsors for confirmation were John Brown and Mrs. Mary Pitzen. - Assistants ta the most reverend archbishop were* the Reverend Fathers Dominic Kowen, Peter Faber, George Eisenbacher, Dr. August Miller of Chicago; Rev. Harry Hausser of Elgin and Rev. Charles Nix of Virgil, 111. The Reverend Fathers A. Leising of Chicago, Edw. Berthold of Johnsburgh, Wm. Dofli- mermuth of Spring Grove and A. Lynch of Antioch were also present in the sanctuary. The church choir of sixteen members has achieved much proficiency and its difficult renditions are of such a calibre as to make it difficult for our many city visitors to believe that it is all purely home tal­ ent. But tlfen, you know. Volo actu­ ally has the goods and is ready to de­ liver when opportunity knocks. OSTEND. Frank Kaiser and wife entertained friends from the county seat Sunday.
