Because every classroom is God’s workshop, every student realizes he is here for a purpose, an instrument of God’s will, every religion class clarifies and expands our knowl¬ edge of the faith we practice, every religious activity is entered into wholeheartedly, every graduate becomes an embryo Christopher.

S cettcKC .... THE MOST REVEREND JOHN J. WRIGHT D.D. Bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts He comes — Clothed in sacerdotal robes, A shepherd’s staff in priestly hands. And on his lips is peace. Love one another” — this, his prayer. Fashioned in those other days By Him who walked the Galilean hills And by that other disciple, John, The loved one, his namesake. Who, seeking the heart of Christ Sought to embrace the ivorld. Another Christ — He stretches forth his hands, In the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man, He claims all for Christ in his sheepfold. For color, race or creed Not one unsought. O Son of God, Give him Your strength Be unto him, the Way, the Truth, the Life, That he may gather through his consecrated years All sheep ivithin his fold, For Thee, O Christ!
