IHIY HAVE C0 IIUIIIIIJ US S QQ 'C' REVEREND GODFREY DOYLE, O.F.M. REVEREND CHRISTOPHER COLLINS, C.P. REVEREND T. LOUIS LANGLEY Chaplain Dean of Holy Cross Seminary, Dunkirk MJ-I., I.C.B. Mount Mercy Academy Instructor in Religion The Matrimonial Tribunal Instructor in Religion There will always be found in our hearts deep admiration and sincere gratitude for those faithful servants of Christ who have brought ug closer to Cod through their inspiring religious instruction, their provif dent counsel, and their good example. By their kind and patient guidance, we are prepared to take our place in the World with pure hearts and sterling char- acters, so that We may imitate the beautiful virtues of lesus and Mary in whatever walk of life we may choose. ln each parish, the priest performs the Christ- like work of teaching the young, comforting the dying, administering the sacraments and sustaining an active Catholic life among us. Through his consecrated hands, Iesus Christ is reborn on the altar, and by these same hands He enters our hearts with I-lis treasure of love and sanctifying grace, The value of a priest cane not be expressed in words, but we can clearly see the desolation and hopeless despair of those people from whose lands the successors of the apostles have been repelled, Yes, the debt we owe to these other Christsu can never be evaluated, for they give their entire earthly lives to aid us in obtaining eternal life, and expect no earthly reward, REVEREND MICHAEL FLANNERY.
