23 At last our prayers have been heard. Yesterday and to day we got a heavy shower which lasted about 10 or 12 hours. It does lots of good.
24 Fath. Rosenthal comes back to Lethbridge fully satisfied with his trip.
25 Rev. Fath Meyer goes to Bow Island to hold the service to morrow, and Fath Bidault is sent down to Milk River on the same purpose.
26 Feast of the St. John the Baptist’s Society Fath Sylla delivers a very impressive sermon in polish [sic], saying to the slavish people in their own language what they have to do in order to remain always good and practical Catholics.
In the afternoon Fath Rosenthal reorganised [sic] the society of the Children of Mary, at the Convent, which society erected on the 16th of July, 1891, under the title of Congregatio Filiarum Marie sub titulo et invocatione B. Marie Virginis Matris Dolorosae et Sti Aloysii and affiliated to the Primary Congregation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Annunciatae [sic], has fallen down for several reasons. The new membership amounts 29 girls.
30 This morning takes place at the Convent the closing of the scolar [sic] year. The four priests were present, and were greatly amated [?] and delighted at the same time to see and to hear the children in every one of their class rooms. They did not expect so much from those little creatures.

Rosenthal, their parish priest, were not forgiven, and each class tried to express to him in the best manner how much they appreciate the kind services and religious instructions that he has so lavishly poured down upon them during the year. Fath. Rosenthal thanked the children for their sentiments and kind words of gratitude, wished to them good and happy holidays, and let them hope that next year the closing of the school will take place in a new local more spacious and appropriate, that the parents will be visited and some prizes distributed.

After having shaken hands with him Fath. Sylla took the train that his Lorship [sic] just left, and went to Taber. Fath. Meyer has already gone to the country and is now in Coutts.
