Lethbridge for pastoral visit and confirmation on the third of July. Were present to that Meeting J.E. Kennedy, F. Hart, English, Bolster, T. Kennedy. They proposed to invite the Mayor of the City for a public reception and to secure the hall.
The weather is very dry. Every day public prayers are said in the church to get rain and this morning, high mass was celebrated to the same intention. The crops around Lethbridge are in a very sad condition and if God does not hear our prayers and send us a good shower it is to be feared that they will be entirely lost.
Fath. Meyer is to day in Grassy Lake. He left Lethbridge ten days ago to go to Maple Creek and around in the country. He will not be back before Wednesday or Thursday.
15 Fath. Meyer comes back to Lethbridge.
16 First lawn social of this year, around the Church and the priest’s house. Over a hundred people came in. The Miners’ band was present and everybody enjoyed the nice pieces of music executed for the first time at a social by a catholic band. It was quite a success, though many were prevented from coming on account of the threatening wheather [the "h" is crossed out]. The ladies of the altar society distinguished themselves by their good will and their generous efforts. We cleared over 50 dollars.
17 Fath. Sylla comes back from the mountains et will be here for two weeks.
