On February 19, the Reverend Brother Louis-Gerard, S.C., assistant-general ot the Brothers ot the Sacred Heart, com- pleted a canonical visitation of one week at Mount St. Charles Academy. The internationally-known educator some months ago was charged with the duty of visiting the institutions of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart in the United States and in Canada. .14 Ukdfinguiakeal I S I T U The purpose of his visit is to observe the conditions at the institutions, including the welfare of the brothers and the progress made in the field ot education. From the data compiled, a report must be sent to the mother house in Rome, , Brother Louis-Gerard is a native of St. Paul of Chester in the Province of Quebec. Ot twelve children in his tamily, tive ot his brothers have become priests, another besides himself is a religious brother, and two ot his sisters are presently nuns. Because of his French-Canadian ancestry, the Reverend Brother speaks French impeccably and ex- pressed interest in the cultivation ot this language among the French-speaking students. Through the medium of out school paper, the Hilltopper, he advised these students to cherish their French heritage and to guard jealously their native language against the infiltration ot incorrect idiom, slang, and unauthorized English terms. Brother Louis-Gerard was impressed by the fine spirit shown by the students on the campus and at sporting events. He particularly rejoiced over the great number ot students receiving the Holy Eucharist daily. Our distinguished visitor assumed his duties as assistant- general in l947 when he was elected to that post at the General Chapter of the Sacred Heart Brothers held at Lyon, France. Atter his visit to the Mount, the Brother's destina- tion was Mobile, Alabama. There he intends to visit the order's scholasticate where several future members ot the teaching order are studying. The Brother is then scheduled to sail from New York on March Zl, en route to Monte Verde, Rome, the mother house of the Community, his long and tedious mission completed.
