Home Meets the Challenge With a modernization pattern in view, a self-reform that would affect the life, worship, and discipline of the Church, His Holiness Pope John XXIII convoked Vatican Council II. In the months of its busy sessions, the Council, composed of 2,800 Bishops of the World with the Pope, will grapple with the problems of morality, and seeularismg discipline and adap- tation, urban crowding and the laity. Christian unity is its concern, too. Thinking in universal terms, embracing with love all

A man lived and a better place descended on the world. It was from a little town in Nazareth that the God-Man effected His King- dom on earth. By the infinite supremacy of His nature, a religion based on Love and given meaning through the exemplification of His life and His Commandments, now exists. This reli- gion is capable of spreading His word over mountains and across seasg it is capable of fulfilling His wish that all men be members of His Kingdom. Go teach ye all nations was His command, a command that has reached over the centuries to our small school in the little town of Patch- ogue. He has made clear the need for our exemplification of His religion to effect the magnetism of His truth on our associates. A regeneration of His love to permeate the four corners of the globe in a chain reaction con1- parable to Christ's must be our goal. To be always strenuous defenders and promulgators of His truth must be our task. He has given us the strength for that task, and the place?-our Long Island-in which to accomplish it. f ,g , -- a ,L X E GAPO, 4' 6' 4' J' 1 J' K 7 1- O in a Changing World 404 4 Q pf QM YP l 5 53,5 v , 22- X ff 1 f
