It is with the greatest joy and satislaction that we make known to yon, that oi the twentieth of this month, the solemnity of the Festival of the glorious Assuniniion ol the B. V. Mary, the Right Revd. Patrick Plielan received P:piscopal Consecra- tion m the City of Montreal under the title of Bishop of Carrlk-e in parlibiis infi- dehum, and that he has likewise been appointed our Coadjutor, with the ri<'ht of succession, by His Holiness Gregory, the Sixteenth of the name, by Letters A po'stolic bearing date the twentieth day of Febru.try of the j)rcsent year. We invite you in consequence, Dearly B jved Brethren, to oil. r up sincere thanks to Almighty (iod for this new mark of His kindness and mercy towards the faithful of the Dwcese of Kingston. The Prelate, whom the Holy See has thus been graciously pleased to promote to the Episcopal Dignity, and appoint as our Coadjutor, is already well known by his untiring zeal, his prudence, and all those virtues and qualifications wh'ch should always be found in the first pastors of the Church of J. C. We inform' you at the same time, that considering the weak state of our health, and tlio many grievous infirmities with which it has pleased God to visit us, we have determin- ed with the advice of our Episcopal Brethren to confide to the hands of our Coad- jutor the entire Administration of the Diocese of Kingston, with full authority to ex- ercise without limitation all the powers of the Ordinary. We also hereby communi- cate to the Right Revd. Prelate all the faculties which we have received from the Holy See, being fully authorized to that effect, reserving to ourselves the title of our See and the ordinary jurisdiction which we cannot divest ourselves of, without the express consent of the Roman Pontiff. In thus confiding the charge of '^ v Diocese to this worthy Prelate, we have consulted your interest, your spiriti d advance- ment, and the advantage of the Church, You will, therefore, for the future apply to him on all occasions where heretofore you applied to us, and accordino- to the tenorofthe Apostolical letters above mentioned, you will pay the same "^-espect obedience, and submission to his Ordinances, pastoral letters, regulations, &c. as to our own, lor to his care do we hereby intrust the future Government and admi- nistration of our Diocese. It is our expiess intention that you render to our Coad- tor the same honors, and give him the same marks of distinction as if we were our- selves personally present. Nothing but thj love and afi-ection which we bear you and the interests of religion could have induced us to adopt this important step But We feel that we can no longer bear the weight of the burden that has been imposed upon us, and the responsibility attached to the office of a Bishop in the Church of God. We shall never cease to offer up our most fervent prayi-rs to the throne of mercy in your behalf; fo. our heart is filled with the warmest"affection for you- and we shall always feel the deepest interest, and solicitude for your spiritual and tem- poral happiness. May the spirit of peace, of union, ol charity dwell amon<' you — May you enjoy every blessing, and etlify all men by the practice of these heavenly virtues which characterize the true diciples of .1. C. The present pastoral address shall be; read from the pulpit, or the Altar during Divine Service on the first Sunday after its reception, in all the Churches, Chapels and Stations of each mission. Give at Montreal under our hand and seal, and the countersign of our Secre- tary, the twenty second day of August, one thousand eight huiulred and forty-three.
