CONTRIS REV. JEROME O.S.B. TONER H ANCTUARY SGCIETY Q 1 1 1 T. JOHN BERCHMAN, a holy Jesuit, who, through his life of poverty, prayer and good works, and also because of his special devotion to the Liturgy and its use on the altar, has become the patron of serving societies, served as the inspiration and ideal of the Sanctuary Society at St. Martin's. Since all religious services need servers the chief purpose of the society is to furnish well-trained and competent servers, who will be a source of ediflcatiofn to the students and who will instill in them a deeper sense of devotion and profound reverence for the solemnities of divine Worship. They also must set an example by teaching the proper observance and procedure in the various ceremonies and rites. Father Jerome, Moderator of the Society, through his untiring efforts and spiritual guidance in instructing the members, has done a great deal in help-ing the Society attain its goal-the increase of virtue and reverential devotion at the sacred functions. At the beginning of every school year the Moderator calls the old members together and new oiiicers are elected, the Moderator choosing the p-resident. The officers of the Society this year are: Faculty Moderator, Father Jerome, president, Michael Contrisg vice- president, Bernard To-ner, secretary, Raymond Schaecherg treasurer, Kenneth O'Loaneg sacristan, Edward McAnerney, and master of ceremonies, Joseph Weber.
