Bro. Hilarion – report on Jubilee. St. Joseph’s Highgate. – On Feb. 2nd Brother Hilarion celebrated the Golden Jubilee of his religious profession. To commemorate the occasion a concert was given in the schools, at which the jubilarian was presented with an illuminated address and purse of sovereigns. The Very Rev. Fr. Malachy (Rector) and R. J. Sheehy, Esq. (Chariman of the Committee) spoke in eulogistic terms of the earnest and self-sacrificing work of Br. Hilarion, who replied in a short speech, in which he expressed his gratitude for the honour conferred upon him by his friends. The united choirs of St. Aloysius’ College and St. Joseph’s Retreat, conducted by Mr. Seadon, rendered some very fine glees, and the items contributed by the Misses Mason and Walsh, Rev. Br. Edwin, and Mr. Fred Stewart were well received by an appreciative audience. Miss Helen Smyth kindly gave her services as accompanist, and the Misses Curd illuminated the address, which was much admired. (Cross, Vol. II, 1911-12; pp.403f.)
