Daley, O.S A.. Pastor of St. Patrick's Church here, also indicates that the drive there has been markedly success- ful. The quota of $2,500 assigned to St. Ed ,vard's Church, Corona, be- came $4,647 by the time the drive was completed in the Rev. Michael Byrne's parish. This is the cor- rection of an enor 'Which ap- peared in last week's issue and which was to the effect that the amount raised was only $3,700. The Rev. John Purcell, Pastor of St. Anne's Church here, also has sent word that the drive in his parish has been successful, whilst the same word has been re- ceived from the Rev. John Regan, S.J., Pastor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, San Ysidro, and the Rev. John McDonagh, Pastor of St. Joan of Arc Church, Vic- torville.
