..6.- Rome 304 ST. AGNES ACADEMY is dedicated to a heroic young girl, ST. AGNES of Rome, who was beheaded for her faith and purity early in the Fourth Century, during the persecutionof Dio cletian. Little did St. Agnes dream, when she passed the COLOSSEUM on her way to school, or admired the marble columns , then gracing the ROMAN FORUM, that her name would be held in honor by Catholic Americans in the Twentieth Century who, like her, aspire to be CRUSADEHS of Christ and Mary. The tomb of ST. AGNES is one of the numerous treasures far, of Rome, the Etemal City. ', ' ' f x Sponsored by ALLIANCE LUMBER COMPANY

SAA. i954 These marble slabs are part of the tomb which is revered in the CATACOMBS OF ST. AGNES in Home. Carrying wax-tapers and led by a guide, the sisters tread the lmderground passages of the CATACOMBS OF ST. AGNES which date from the second to the fourth century. In the BASILICA OF ST. AGNES erected by Constantine the Great over her tomb and restored many times, Sister M.. llilga prayed for all the students of St. Agnes Academy during her recent trip to Europe. When the camera was placed in the arched open- ing of the slabs, this picture of the stone coffin of ST. AGNES behind an iron grating resulted. May the heroic example of SL. Agnes continue to inspire all who attend ST. AGNES ACADE ,.r,..,W V Xxx This page is sponsored by ALLIANCE NATIONAL BANK
