Uhr g-Xqnimxa Qdnsiituie nf 3R.U1ZhB5fBJZ i 1127 priming Qsfmrute Qfinzlylzsfer, E. E, June 5, 1959 His Holiness, Pope Pius XII Vatican City, Rome, Italy Your Holiness: y , 1 V In fealty we, the Seniors of the Aquinas Institute of Rochester, pledge our prayers and whatever in us lies to further the principles of Social Justice and Catholic Action so clearly defined by your Holiness an by your illustrious predecessor, Pius XI. Your deep interest explains the fact that you alone of all the successors of Peter visited our fair land in.order to judge for your- self of its power and glory. Nor can we forget that while here you stood in mute tribute at the grave of George Washington, the Father of our country, and that you visited in his former See our beloved Bishop Kearney. Your words in praise of America an its Catholic people on your return home and your recent expression of appreciation of the work being done in Catholic America make us feel that, more than any other of Christ's Vicars, we may call you our own. On her ever growing roll of Beati, Holy Mother Church records the name of Martin de Porres, South American negro, humble Dominican lay brother. Blessed Martin shares with Your Holiness the common brotherhood of the children of Saint Dominic. No name on the roster of saluted Dominicans has shed greater brilliance upon the history of his order than that of Thomas of Aquin, Patron of our school.
