Velotta PRAYER AJVII SAFIIIFIFE AIIDEI1 NE of the most pressing needs of the many Missionaries who are spread- ing Christ's Kingdom in foreign lands is the spiritual and financial assistance from those back home. Our Catholic Students Mission Crusade was a constant reminder of those faithful ones who are harvesting souls. Prayer and sacrifice were the keynotes of all activities in the Cathedral Latin Unit. Mission meetings, with discussions, lectures and projects were held regularly in all classes, while special Round Table discussions on Mary, Queen of the Missions were conducted. Always ranking among the first in donations to the Propagation of the Faith, the Mission Collection and the Lenten Mite Boxes again greatly aided the spiritual Work in Puerto Rico and foreign lands. Promoters of the annual Paper Drive, a distinctive Crusade work, set lOO tons as our quota and with full cof operation we marched to our goal and forwarded the proceeds to the laborers in foreign and domestic mission fields. To obtain new ideas and to capture the real mission spirit, Iames Nugent, Glen Phelps, William Slick, Norbert Burns, Thomas O'Donnell attended the Crusade Convention in Washington, D. C. For his excellent work in supervising our Unit, Bro. lohn Iansen S.M., was awarded the Grand Cross, highest award given by the Crusade Castle, nation headquarters for the Catholic Students Mission Crusade.
