The Immaculate Conception of the ever Blessed Virgin Mary was proclaimed and celebrated in the cathedral with an enthusiasm which has not perhaps been surpassed in any church of the Catholic world. Our descendants will scarcely believe that a growing congregation, composed for the most part of the humble and poor classes, spontaneously contributed 150 pounds sterling to meet expenses of a festival decoration. Mr Huntley, a converted Protestant, received in the church some years back in New Zealand, to whom was entrusted the decoration of the solemnity, displayed exquisite taste and untiring industry; and on the third day more than 500 wax candles added to the splendour of the scene. His Lordship Dr Viard, assisted by his Vicar General, the Very Reverend Father J P O’Reily and two of his missionaries, the Reverend Father Petit-Jean and the Reverend Father Séon, officiated pontifically during the three days. The sermons were preached on each day by the Very Reverend Father O’Reily. The piety of the faithful did not relax for a moment, and the ever swelling enthusiasm was such that more than 700 persons were assembled on the Sunday evening. In a word, the city appeared to be altogether Catholic, so great was the influx of Protestants, and we have every reason to hope, indeed, we have the certainly that our erring brethren who have manifested their respect for the ever Blessed Virgin, the Queen of Heaven, will not fail to obtain their reward. And indeed, our congregation counts in a few years’ existence as many Protestants converted as original Catholics. Four Protestants, married women of respectability, after being received into the church, had the happiness on receiving on the 8th, the feast of the Immaculate Conception, for the first time Holy Communion as well as the Sacrament of Confirmation. Many children on the same blessed <del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">ay</del>, made their first Communion, and during the three days communicants were very numerous.

Allow me, without getting too far from my subject, to repeat to you the words of an old Protestant man who was present at the consecration of the church. “My friend,” he said to another Protestant man who had brought him, “there is something in all that.” &lt;ref&gt;&#039;&#039;Il y a quelquechose dans tout cela. &#039;&#039;&lt;/ref&gt; I am keeping in mind these words of the Protestant to whom those words were addressed on the day of the consecration. The feast of the Immaculate Conception fell during the elections of the representatives for the Wellington province, days of dissipation and excess, which at least should have turned the Protestants away from our noble ceremonies. The new governor had just arrived in Wellington, a town that is so interested in receiving him well, so as to take him away from Auckland, its rival. People were still daily expecting the arrival of the Anglican Bishop. In fact he arrived after the great celebration, to cry apostasy the following Sunday.

No doubt, religion also has its spectacles, but they leave deep impressions in the hearts of those who take part in them. I myself saw beside me four Protestant officers as filled with wonder and as recollected as our Catholics. Allow me, without getting too far from my subject, to repeat to you the words of an old Protestant man who was present at the consecration of the church. “My friend,” he said to another Protestant man who had brought him, “there is something in all that.” &lt;ref&gt;&#039;&#039;Il y a quelquechose dans tout cela. &#039;&#039;&lt;/ref&gt; I am keeping in mind these words of the Protestant to whom those words were addressed on the day of the consecration. The feast of the Immaculate Conception fell during the elections of the representatives for the Wellington province, days of dissipation and excess, which at least should have turned the Protestants away from our noble ceremonies. The new governor had just arrived in Wellington, a town that is so interested in receiving him well, so as to take him away from Auckland, its rival. People were still daily expecting the arrival of the Anglican Bishop. In fact he arrived after the great celebration, to cry apostasy the following Sunday. He wasn’t too severe on his own people, since the church had been almost completely abandoned on Sunday 9 December, the closing day of the celebration.</div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>;[8]: But it must be said, that if the many Catholic soldier in the garrison were not able to come on the Friday and Saturday, the celebration would have lost half its impact.

I cannot say whether the British government demands it as well, or whether than is left the judgement of the military commanders. All I know is that in Australia this permission is not granted.

Tell me the days, and I will give my orders.” A brave soldier, who did not fear the presence of the Governor in such a delicate situation.
