Moderator A 47 : f i-Q Third Order of St. Francis St. Leonard's Fraternity has had a very busy year in taking an active part in the provincial activities of the Capuchin Third Order Province in conjunction with Christ the King Fraternity at St. Michael's Church, Brooklyn. The monthly meetings were held at the Friary. After a con- ference and monthly prayers, Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was given in the Friary Chapel. Prior to the Christmas season the Fraternity sponsored a toy drive. Within two weeks over 300 packages were brought in and distributed to the orphanages in Brooklyn and Long Island. The regular monthly meeting of January saw the profession of three of our members. In a solemn ceremony, Michael, Albano, Thomas Galligan and Robert Drislane were pro- fessed by Father Bertrand, O.F.M. Cap., the Order's pre- siding chaplain. 3 .M , 5 I S I 1 2 The novices listen attentively while the priest gives the monthly conference.

Wissel, Chairman of Social Ac- tivities. A delicious eight course meal of Roast Sirloin of Beef and vegetables as main course was served. After the meal the students pre- sented Brother William O.S.F., Principal with a banner for the school and a plaque as a token of their appreciation for all the help they received while they were at St. Leonard's. The students were addressed by Brother William, Brother Alfred, Mr. Thomas J. McGwynn, and Mr. Francis C.
