The year 1907 saw the presentation of the cause of Mother Seton at Rome. Now, in 1960, we find that her cause has progressed so that we soon hope to hear of her canonization as saint, the only truly fitting reward for her marvelous efforts to promote Catholic education in the United States. At Bishop England the members render their services in the fields of English, mathematics and business. Since their arrival they have also rendered assistance as teachers of Religion and social studies. Presently, in 1960, there are eight Daughters of Charity, who in ad- dition to teaching head their departments and many curricular activities. As Bishop England enlarges and advances, so also do the members of this order freely continue to sacrifice more and more of themselves in accordance with their motto, The Charity of Jesus Christ urges us.
