"SILENT SISTERS" POPE It will doubtless be of interest to readers to learn of the existence of a un ique special Community for the Deaf and the Hard-of-Hearing in America, known as the Con gregation of Little Sisters of Our Lady of Seven Dolors, founded in Montreal, Canada, April 1, 1887, by the Sisters of Charity of Providence by whom it is governed and directed. Because of the fact that per sons handicapped by partial or profound deafness are unable to follow the exercises of Com munity life with the hearing, and since a number of deaf girls were eager to embrace the religious life, Canon Francis Xavier Trepanier, first Chap lain of the Institution for the Deaf, decided to negotiate with the major Superiors in their favor. The result was the de cision of the General Council of the Community of Provi dence, to open a Novitiate per manently located at the Insti tution, and to admit nine young deaf ladies, the first candidates, cording to their aptitude, such as the sacristy, sewing and weaving room^, infirmary, kitchen, Social Service office work, typing, the Secretarial office, and the summer camp for the children, or they do oth er work for which normal hear ing is not absolutely essential. They are of course under the guidance of the Mother Gen eral of the Sisters of Provi dence, the local Superior of the Institution for the Deaf, and the Mistress of Novices who is also the Directress of the pro fessed Sisters. The Little Sisters have their own separate Community room, refectory and dormitory, also their special Book of Rules and Constitutions in French and English, modelled with slight variations, on the rules of the Sisters of Charity of Provi dence. Their holy habit is the same as that of the Sisters of Providence, with the exception of a difference in the head band as a distinguishing mark five of whom persevered and k e tweeen them and the hearing became the founding Sisters of Sisters with whom the y devote this little “Community within a thems elves towards the educa- Community,” the only one of its tlon and care dle Deaf, kind in America. Since then the There is a pecuinary require- Congregation has expanded and ment for board and the trous- today there are 56 professed seau during the three years of Sisters, 6 novices and 1 postu- Novitiate, and at profession lant. Twenty-two Sisters have time a dowry of three hundred since gone to their eternal re- dollars is expected. However ward. And it is to the little Community’s credit that not one professed Sister has ever left it, although many novices and postulants have returned to the world, not having had the vocation. Candidates who have reach ed their twentieth year and have been sufficiently educat- q. ed, either at the School in the Community will not refuse any qualified candidate who is unable to meet these require ments. The Little Sisters are French- Canadians in the majority, with the exception of sixteen from the United States. Their life work is confined to the Insti tution for the Deaf (girls), and the members are never sent out to other Houses. They re ceive the same training and instruction in the religious life as the hearing nuns, except that the sign language and lip- reading are used by their Mis tress of Novices who is always a hearing Sister of Providence chosen from among those who understand well the particular needs of the Deaf. Happy those who answer yes to the Call of the Good Master. Their treasure will be in heaven, and even here be low they will receive a hund redfold in return for what they sacrifice for Him and for souls. Any American vocation- minded girl who has the handi cap of deafness, and conse quently is unable to enter a hearing Community, and is in terested in applying as a can didate with the desire of giving herself to God for the welfare of her sisters in affliction, may apply to the Superior: Sister Louis Gerard, Institution for the Deaf, 3725 Saint Denis Street, Montreal, Canada MARRIAGES O- ARNOLD-FRIEND -O -O „ , MONROE, Ga.—Miss Patricia Montreal where the Novitiate is Ann Friend> daughte r of Mrs. situated, or in the United Claude ir rlend of Monroe and States and who desire to join Eugene Arnoldj son of Mrs . j. the Little Sisters, are welcome, M Arnold of Winterv iii e , were provided they have the neces- married June 12th at st .

If the Superi ors accept the candidate after this obligatory year of proba tion, she enters the Novitiate as a postulant for one year. This is followed by the conferring of the Holy Habit of a novice. Then after two full years of noviceship, comes the profes sion of annually renewed vows of poverty, chastity and obedi ence and the giving of a relig ious name. The Little Sisters being deaf, are not placed as heads of de partments, but they are pre cious aids to the hearing Sis ters of Providence in the class rooms, in the supervision of the children, the sick and aged deaf, and in the various de partments of the Institution, ac- Williarn Coleman officiating.

Among those who were to take part in the consecration of the new Bishop, Radini Tedeschi picked out two Bergamo priests, Angelo Roncalli and Guglieimo Carozzi, now Archpriest pastor of Seriate, near Bergamo. PROPHECY The consecration was Pius X’s first since his election as Pope. The importance of Bishop Rad ini Tedeschi in the life and de velopment of the future Pope John can hardly be exaggerated. The closeness and deep friend ship of the two is best exem plified in the long, detailed and loving biography which Father Roncalli wrote after his friend and mentor died in his arms. In it, he recalls two things of the morning of the consecration. One was that it was he who held the Book of the Gospels against the neck of the new Bishop, signifying that the Bishop must wear the yoke of Christ. The second was that the Pope embraced the new Bishop after the consecration and whispered in his ear that after he died he would come immediately to take the Bishop with him and that they would be together for eter nity. It was not until much later that the Bishop understood the meaning of these words. But it is a fact that Pius X died on August 20, 1914, and Radini Tedeschi died two days later. Shortly after the new bishop took possession of his episcopal see of Bergamo, he began look ing for a secretary. He remem bered Fathers Carozzi and Ron calli who had assisted at his consecration. Carozzi, whom the Bishop talked to first, replied that Roncalli was the proper man for the post. The Bishop took the advice.
