RUDDY '40 ACI-I year We, as students of Cathedral College, are called upon to help in a Work in which We should be most interested, since later it is to be our life Work, namely, the Propagation of the Faith. Of course, at the present time We are not permitted to carry on this work directly, but there are two ways in which We may do our part, by prayer and by financial contributions. Every morning of the school year special prayers are offered up to the Over- seer of the Missions for the Propagation of the Faith. A special Sunday, designated as Mission Sunday, is observed in some one of the churches of the Diocese by the members of the Society and others who are able to attend. The other means of spreading the Faith is by financial contributions. This is of no small importance to the Society. This year has been very suc- cessful, even surpassing last year which was a banner one. The members of the Society and the collectors of each class are to be highly commended, but especially the Sixth Year class and section one of Fifth Year. It is quite certain that the latter will set a record for individual subscription average. Another section of the society which is becoming more and more im- portant each year is the Remailing Department. This group gathers, selects, and sends out Wholesome Catholic literature to schools, hospitals, and homes in many foreign lands. Some of these parcels travel north to Canada, others southeast to various parts of Africa, and still others West to the Philippine Islands. At the present time there is a great spiritual famine in these countries and good Catholic literature can satisfy part of the hunger which exists. Recently, many prayer-books, rosaries, and holy pictures have been included in the shipping. The Remailing Department is happy to announce the receipt of numerous letters of thanks from the Missions and the Missionaries who have been benefited by this help. These letters, with their kind Words of appreciation, give abundant thanks for the little bit We do. The prayers which these humble Missionaries offer up to God can not but amply repay us many times for our sacrifices which are infinitely small in comparison to theirs. In past years, Cathedral College has made a name for itself in Mission activities for which it should be justly proud. It is up to us as students to continue this glorious Work Which surely must be pleasing in the sight of God. Let us continue propagating the Eaithl 103
