GOLDEN JUBILEE OF OUR CHIEF SHEPHERD On April third of this year, our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII, celebrated his Golden Sacerdotal lubilee. We of De Sales High School united with the Whole Catholic World in a crusade of prayer for our Holy Father on this holy and momentous occasion. Surely the heart of the Great White Shepherd rejoiced in the lov- ing manifestations of filial devotedness and loyalty which came to him from all parts of the World. Upon the shoulders of Pope Pius Xll rest the sorrows of the Whole World, its continual reformation and the moral regenera- tion of all mankind. St. Augustine said in speaking of priestly responsibilities: Formidable and crushing even for the shoulders of an angel! How much greater are the responsibilities of the Popel Regardless of race, color, or creed, Pope Pius Xll greets with tenderest marks of affection and kindly interest all who come to him with spiritual or temporal problems. He is indeed the x'Pope of the people, the Servant of the servants of God, the Father of all Christendom. May we, the students of De Sales High School, ever show our filial devotedness to him Whom we call Holy Father and may We ever invoke the Holy Spirit to love, comfort, bless and guide him in his sacerdotal ministry. 9
