Into all parts of the world His Apostles journeyed, spreading the light of Faith. In answer to the same mandate for Catholic Action, modern disciples of Christ have followed in the footsteps of the Apo-stles and devoted part of their leisure time to teaching the Gospel of Christ. The members of the Apostolic committee have sacriiced one evening each week to plant the seed of Faith in young minds. Black of Visage, but white of soul, the children of St. Benedict de Moor listened eagerly to the Word of God, and the girls saw gratifying proofs of the fruit of their zeal. They pre- pared many for Confession, and some for First Holy Communion, a number for Confirmation, and a few for the saving waters m4v .

Chi Rho Mission Club ATHOLIC ACTION, in the form of Mission work, has held a place in the activities at Holy Redeemer since 1926, when the Chi Rho Mission Club was founded. Animated by the example of their predecessors, the Class of '32 reorganized the Club, and brought to it the love and earnestness of the most loyal of former members. K Under the leadership of Mary Ann LeBlanc different mission units were organized. Stamps were collected, tinfoil prepared, boxes of holy pictures, medals, and rosaries sent to the missions, and daily prayers recited for the mis- sionaries. The Rally at Marygrove College inspired our delegates with new ardor for the work. The Mission 'Amock trial encouraged the Hpenny a day campaign for the Propagation of the Faith, and the Lenten season found prac- tically every Senior a member of the Society. The unit headed by Gertrude Duhart deserves mention for its labors. Besides the above activities, each month they drew from their treasury to sub- ' V' scribe for a A'Mission magazine. Letters were re- t I 3 ' ceived commending these girls for their solicitude , W ' h ' for souls during this Century of Missions. , 2 The Class of '32 surrenders the torch of Mis- 1 I TT C sion activity to the incoming Seniors. May it guide i them securely to their goal, a harvest of souls. illlliufhf K' ' it Page One Hundred Five

' The ability to speak the English language with an ease and fluency that command admiration is an accomplishment to be envied, one essential to any standing on the threshold of the college or business world. Society, too, demands that its members be cultured, reiined and intelligent, their diction be- yond reproach, their speech that of an educated man or woman. These truths have always been impressed on the minds of the students of Holy Redeemer, but the Class of '32 claims the distinction of organizing the first English Club. Its aim has been to instill a love for better English, refined diction and oratorical polish, as well as an appreciation for good literature and an interest in dramatic arf. Prominent among the activities of the Club were the presentations of the playlets Every Sen- ior and How Mrs. Gaskell Did Not Hire a Cook. It sponsored interesting debates, essay, poetry and oratorical contests, and presented more than one mock trial. The charter members of the E Club feel that it has been a powerful influence for good during the one year of its existence. They exhort their successors to continue the project, as- suring them that it is most worth while. Page One Hundred Seven
