From Our Own Correspondent
Papeete, Dec. 8.
A MESSAGE from Rome has made known to the Church in French Oceania that Pere Paul Mazet, Cheva lier de la Legion d’Honneur, has been designated Vicaire Apostolique de Tahiti, in succession to Monseigneur Amedee Nouailles, who died in August, 1937.
Like his predecessor, Pere Paul has ministered during many years to a parish of widely scattered atolls in the Tuamotu Archipelago. His principal station has been the atoll Reao, where is situated the leper colony of Eastern French Oceania.
In recognition of his services in the establishment of this colony, and of his many years of devotion to the care of its inmates, Pere Paul has been awarded the Cross of the Legion of Honour.
