 HIS LORDSHIP THE RT. REY. JOM FARRELL, BISHOP OF HAMILTON, 
 
 isljing tljc |ubiicc of J8(jr). 
 
 JOHN FARRELL, BY THE MERCY OF GOD AND THE GRACE OF THE HOLY APOSTOLIC SEE, BISHOP OF I'MlH/fON, &C. 
 
 To the Ciergi/, the Religious Communities, and all the Faithful of Our Diocese, health and blessing in 
 Our Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 We rpce!ve<l,.lfaily l.cloveil l.rutlirLMi, iIm; Eiunclical of His n«ilin«>s Pope Pins IX.. of llio 8ih of December l!i«t, p; lelaiming 
 to the whole Catliolie world a plei.ary iii(lulf,'eiice, in the loim of a Jubilee; ami, acooinp;inyinir this most impnilaot ami consoling, 
 document, a (Syllabus., or ealalof,Mie of cerlairi capital and pernicious eriors of tlio presi/nt »'r,-, against wbicn, in liis pastoral 
 solicitude for the flock oi Christ enlrusleil to his keepiiin, lie seeks to put all ( hristians on their yiiard. 
 
 From the summit of the Ap stolic di;;nily to which he was ran-ed, in the person of Peter, whose lawful Hiid i,'!oriou» successor 
 he is, the .Soverei-n Poi.tilf, commissioned hy jesns (. hiist to fiiiard and to Ice.l wuh salutary doclinies iho children ol men, views 
 with bitter sorrow Ihi' sjiread ol blal errors which the enemy of all -;oiiil sows hroiidca-t in the liosom ol society, thereby sliflimr the 
 good seed of the pure and iiuchan^iiii; W'oid of God and causiii;,' the rmu of iiiimmeiahle soids. Guided by the Spirit of his Urvine 
 Master, he has spoktMi ; and Ins words dictated not by flesh and blood, or any human expediency have already been heard and 
 seen, and felt thiou;,'houl the world, tilling the iiearts of true believers with joy and consolation, whilst diey only excite lhe'ra<'e 
 and indignatio I ol the enemies of (ioii and His glorious Spnuse the Church. 
 
 It is our most pleasing iluly, dearly beloved brethren, at this season, which we have chosen as mosl favorable, to call your 
 attention to these teachings and admoiulions of the Vicar of Jesus ( hrist, giving to them the adhe-iou of our whole soul, and at the 
 same time to open to you the overllowing sources ot g.i.ce and heavenly sweetness which a meiriful (Jod has prepared for us 
 during these (Uiys of salvation 
 
 Hefreshed iiml sanctilied in the f.iuntaius of the Saviour, during this mosl „..eptable time of the Jubilee, in union with the 
 Visible Head and all the members of the CLurcli. we wid be eiiab ed to present ourselves with confidence before the Throne of 
 Grace, in order to draw down lioni the Father of li-hls and the (io<l of all consolation those good and |)erlecl gifts which we stand 
 in need of to escape the siiaies of our enemies and to persevere m the paths of triilh, of jii-iice, and of peace. 
 
 It will not ' e necessary for us, .iearly beloved l.ivihren, ii, r would il be possible within the limils oi an ordinary Pastoral to 
 expose to yon ., detail the various errors poml.ul out by His Holiness. Those errors, thank Got, are hardly known am.iniist yon ■ 
 and the /eal and tinndy prudenue ol our worlliy co-o])erai"rs in the salvation of your souls will supply the brevity of this Pastoral' 
 by commenting, fmin lime to inm-, ic their congrogulioiis, at least on such port'ons of the Encyclical and Syllabus of His floliness 
 as may he advisable, or necessary for the protection and enlijihtenment ofthose sntrusled to ihern. 
 
 We direct the atlentiou of all to what the Sovereign Ponlilf says concerning inditlerentism in mailers of leliiiion, the sacred and 
 inalienable rights of ihe Koman Ponlilfand of the whole Church over chnivli projii'ily, the necessity of t:ie mie religion lo ihe well- 
 being ol civil government and sociely in general, the light of the Church lo coudnet Ihe education of her children, and, linaliy ihe 
 coiidenination and anathemas pronounced aL'aiust secret societies, ?,/(.//(. r /^ou,,,,' hy an oulli o/' .w/v.s-// or without si'ich an o'ath, 
 such as certain societies which imprndent and ineigioiis men seek lo inliodiue into this ronnliy under liie garb of love for Iiel'and 
 and /eal for the Hou,S(! of tiod, whilst ex|erience proves that such societies have ever been the curse of Ireland, and that their 
 member.s very .soon lose all respect lor the Church and its Pastors, who cannot follow them in their extravagant -.ai'aries. We 
 invite the young men of our (lock lather to enter into some of those societies or confraternities which Got!, throulrh His Chiircli, has 
 blessed, and in which they will find the eirectual means of grace to overcome the wicked one ami to advanc~e in Ihe divine' and 
 lightsome paths ol virtue. We deem it onr sacred duly to warn all conlessors not lo administer the sacraments to members of 
 societies calling ihem.selves Fenians or Hibernians of Canada, but to lre:it Ihem as ipso facto excommunicated. 
 
 Now, dearly Oeloved brethren, having invoked tlie Holy Name of (ukI, we have decreed and ordained, decree and oidaiii as 
 follows:— ' ' 
 
 1st. That Ihe Jubilee in this Diocese shall open on the last Sumlay of the present month, and close on the last Sunday of 
 September: the opening and closing lo be announced by Ihe ringinir of the church bells for a quarter of an hour the eve, alter the 
 Angelas, and the last day of the exercises at the same hour. N.H.- Pastors of Missions who might find anolher monl'h ol the 
 present year more convenient, may »pply to us for a change of time. 
 
 2ndly That tlie public exercises cninmence by the Vaii Creator and terminate by the 7'.; Deum, the Benediction of the Most 
 Holy Sacrament being permilted with di"! ceremony each day. 
 
 Conditions for gaining the Indulgence ol the Jubilee : — 
 
 1. To visit twice during the appointed time the Church of the Mission, or the place where Mass is usually said, and there to 
 pray accordiiii; to ihe inlcnlioii of the Pope 
 
 'i. 'J'o confess and communicate reverently. Children, however, who have not made their hrst communion, may gain the 
 indalirence without communion. ' ^ 
 
 ■"J. lo fast on the Wednesday, Friday, ami Saturday of one week during the lime of the Jubilee. 
 
 4. To give alms to the poor. We recommend the Local Pastors to collect the alms and ai)ply them to one of our asylums of 
 charily. 
 
 Confessors are antliorized, lor a reasonable cause, lo dispense I>om any or all of Ihe above condilions, and lo enjoin .some other 
 goiHl works m their stead. The Pri.-sis ol this Diocese, and those ot (he neighboring Dioceses whom they may invile, are aulhorized 
 to absolve from all cases reserved lo the Holy See or lo us, and lo commute vows, except tho.se of religion or perpetual chastity. 
 
 Ill conclusion, dearly beloved brethren, let mo exhort you to duly appreciate and avail yourselves of Ihe .r,aces offered you 
 during these days of salvation. This Pastoral shall be read at the Parochial Mass in evt'ry iMission, and in chapter in all Ihu 
 Religious Communities, the first Sunday alter its riiceptioii. 
 
 Given al Hiimiitun, liom our Kpiscupal Palace, this 6lh day of August, llie Feast ol the Transfiguration of Our Loril.

 By His Lordship.
