tditatiun My dear Boys and Girls of the Class of 1946: I have been asked by a representative of your Class to contribute a few lines to your Memory Book - The Trinitas. Perhaps I should have something to say to you on this occasion, your raduation from Trinity High School, I mean some- thing that should be placed on record, for the spoken word is soon forgotten. Why was Trinity High School ever built? Or any other Catholic Hi h School? Obviously to teach by word and example that we were created for God, and that unless we return to God we shall be everlastingly miserable, we shall lose our souls for all eternity. Moreover religion is more than salvation, it is par excel- lence a way of sanctihcation. lt not only seeks to save but to sanctify. Yes: Be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect. That is what jesus Christ wants of all of us. Not just a matter of barely getting into heaven! Shame on us if that is our highest ambition. In my Father's house there are many mansions . This means that there are various degrees of happiness in heaven according to our deserts during life. Moreover how are schools such as Trinity High School maintained? First, by the contributions of good peo le who believe in religious education, secondly, by the self sacrihce, of a corps of, religious women, our good Sisters, who were your teachers during those four interesting years at Trinity High School. They gave up everything, their homes, their very names, to become slaves for jesus Christ. Were it not for their sacrifice and devotion we could never have either Grade or High School. Perha s these two things, the generous support of a wonderfully cooperative laity and! the self sacrifice of our dear Sisters, will help you realize the cost and the worth of your Catholic training. May you never forget the great debt you owe to both. Q Do you know that hardly one-half the Catholic children of America enjoy the blessing of a Catholic Grade School education? Not one-fourth of them ever et to attend a Catholic High School. So it is evident that you have been higlgly favored religiously. Now of course religion means a life to be lived, to live according to God's plan, to participate in the Divine life here that we may enjoy it forever in the life to come. Therefore, let nothing ever separate you from the love of God and jesus Christ, our dear Savior. May you be ever faithful. Sincerely yours, 5, dll dlfloou
