CHILDREN'S PROCESSIONS.
Closing Exercises of the Month of May in the Catholic Churches.
The closing exercises of the devotions of the month of May were a feature of the services in the Catholic churches yesterday.
At the Cathedral the procession of the Sodalities and the presentation of flowers at the altar of the Blessed Virgin Mary took place at 4 o'clock. The children formed in the Cathedral vestibule and marched up the south aisle to the sanctuary, where their offerings were received by the sanctuary boys and placed upon the altar.
The figure of the Blessed Virgin, to whom the month of May is consecrated, was beautifully draped. The exercises were very beautiful and impressive.
At St. Patrick's church the procession of the children was at 5 o'clock. The exercises were similar to those at the Cathedral. Rev. Father Bazin, pastor of the church, preached a short sermon.
