Date For 31st Eucharistic Congress Set100,000 Expected in Dub- lin From United States (By N. C. W. C. News Service.) DUBLIN, Aug. 14.—The dates for the Thirty-first International Eucharistic Congress, to be held in Dublin, have been decided upon, subject to the approval of the Permanent Committee of the International Eucharistic Congresses. The Congress will be formally opened on Wednesday, June 22, and will be brought to a close with a solemn procession of the Blessed Sacrament on Sunday, June 26. On the preceding Sunday, June 19, a solemn triduum will begin in preparation for the opening of the Congress. In view of the fact that, in addition to the International Eucharistic Congress, Ireland also will observe in 1932, the fifteenth centenary of the coming of St. Patrick to Ireland, the committee in charge feels certain that there will be a very large homecoming. 100,000 Expected From America Congress officials have been informed by trans-Atlantic shipping companies that at least 70,000 to 100,000 people will come from the United States and Canada, it is said. Information also has been received that liners are being chartered from Spain, France and Holland. In addition, London Catholic organizations already have asked that accommodations be reserved for 10,000. The Congress Committee have arranged to have the dates for all school examinations advanced so that all primary and secondary schools may be available for use as hostels. A survey has been made of all available accommodations in barracks, unused workhouses, etc. and a canvas has been made of every house in Dublin. NEW SCHOOL IN BURLINGAME TO BE DEDICATED Beauty of New Mission Style Building Praised (Photo on Page 5.) The Most Rev. Archbishop Edward J. Hanna will bless and dedicate the beautiful school of Our Lady of Angels parish, Burlingame, Sunday, August 17 at 12:00 noon. Few buildings have attracted such admiration in recent years as this splendid mission style structure. Erected on Cortez avenue just two blocks off the highway, it adds charm to surroundings already famed for their splendor, and is doing much to attract home builders to the parish under the care of the Franciscan Capuchin Fathers. The school is taught by the Sisters of Mercy. It was designed by Oliver C. Moroney and was erected by P. T. Monohan, builder. The speed with which it has been constructed, the beauty of the design and the excellence of the workmanship in every detail has won unstinted praise on all sides. It is well worth a visit from those who revel in the Spanish missionary style of architecture, and is a veritable dream when illuminated each evening. Truth Society to Resume Sessions The Catholic Truth Society will resume their meetings again next month in Paulist Hall, Old St. Mary's church, California street and Grant avenue. The first lecture will be upon the life of Sigrid Undset, famous Scandinavian
