DIOCESE OF LITTLE ROCK ' 305 WEST SECOND STREET LITTLE ROCK. ARKANSAS AWA February 19, 1951 Sisters and Students Mount St. Mary's Academy Little Rock, Arkansas My dear Sisters and Students: I am taking the liberty of addressing you jointly on this historic occasion marking the Centenary of St. Mary's Academy. Sisters and students have, through all the years, comprised what we have always known as St. Mary's Academy, the pioneer institution of learning for young ladies in the State of Arkansas. It is, therefore, I think proper that I should send my congratulations to both of you-to the Sisters as the successors of those valiant religious women who founded and maintained the institution in the past centuryg and to this generation of students who both represent and emulate the high type of Christian womanhood which it has been the purpose of St. Mary's to develop. I join with you on this happy occasion in thanking God for the blessings and providential care which He has conferred on St. Mary's during the past hundred years. During these years, joys have been mixed with sorrows, success with failure-but all these things have made St. Mary's what it is today. We now realize that Ufor those who love God, all things work to good.n I thank Him also for you: the devoted Sisters who now and in the years to come will carry on the work of Catholic education which God has entrusted to themg the students of Mount St. Mary's on whom the Church in Arkansas will depend so much in the future to exemplify the dignity and virtue of Catholic womanhood. Wishing you every blessing on this memorable occasion and renewing my most sincere congratulations and felicitations, I am Yours sincerely in Christ, ffl, WLLJJAJ in X, Bishop of Little Rock
