ftiskop Kyan’s Centenary Prayer 0 God, the shepherd and Ruler of all Thy faithful people, mercifully grant that, through the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we may dedicate and consecrate this One Hundredth Anniversary Year of our Diocese to the greater honor and glory of the Most Holy Trinity. Under the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit, may we, by our prayers and good works, and especially by the frequent re- ception of the Sacraments of Penance and the Holy Eucharist, make this year of 1953 a truly Holy Year Mindful of the myriad blessings the Giver of every good and perfect gift has showered on our Diocese during the past century, we return thanks from hearts filled with love and gratitude. Conscious of our sins and the sins of others, we beseech the Good Shepherd to turn away His eyes from our iniquities, and we beg Him to bring back to the Faith those of our brethren who have strayed from the Fold. For all the souls of the faithful departed we pray, asking God in His mercy to give them the reward of eternal life .... MONSIGNOR WILLIAM A. CROWLEY Diocesan School Superintendent May Almighty God strengthen our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII and the Church Universal in the struggle to overcome the Godless- ness and Immorality of our day. May He bless our homes, our families and our children. May Our Loving Savior inspire our young men and women to pray for the high vocation to serve Him and His Church in the priest- hood and the religious life. These favors we ask through the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of the Patroness of our Diocese, Mary, the peerless Queen of Heaven. Amen. Hands that Administer
