HOLY NAME JUBILEE
~ IS DECREED BY POPE
Fiftieth Anniversary of Or
ganization to be Solemnly
Obeserved.
New York.—In honor of the fif
tieth anniversary of the canonical
establishment of the Holy Name So
ciety in New York City, from which
it has spread throughout the United
States, Pope Pius XI has designated
the three months from October 1 to
December 31 inclusive as a time for
the celebration of a solemn Holy
Name Jubilee. During these three
months special privileges are grant-
k«ed to Holy Name Societies in the
' ■United States and extraordinary in
dulgences can be gained by mem
bers.
Exceptional faculties have been
granted by the Holy See to confes
sors during retreats held within the
jubilee period. Part of the instruc
tions issued in connection with the
Apostolic grants concerning jubilee
read: “A retreat may be given in
every church during the time of the
Holy Name Jubilee, from October 1
to December 31. The retreat should
begin on one Sunday and conclude
the following Sunday. Special
preachers, where it is possible,
should be engaged to preach the
retreat.
“The concluding day of tile-retreat
should be observed as a solemn Eu
charistic Day. Permission should be
obtained from the Bishop for the
exposition of the Most Blessed Sa
crament on the last day of the rc-
Lgrtreat. The members of the Holy
■Name Society should receive com
munion in a body. Holy Name men
on this Eucharistic Day should be
asked to make reparation for the
many outrages committed against
God by blasphemy and against
Christ by perjury and the profana
tion of His Holy Name. The Eu
charistic Jesus, the King of Peace,
should be implored to attract the
minds and to soften the hearts of
those who do not recognize in the
Sacramental Christ the Source of all
peace, graces, and blessings- On the
Solemn Eucharistic Day there may
be a public Holy Name parade, or a
procession of the Blessed Sacrament
in the church, which should be con
cluded with Benediction.”
CHICAGO KNIGHTS HAVE
SCHOOLS FOR 10,000
■
Cl
Chicago—Prepared to accommo
date ten thousand students the three
Knights of Columbus Free Evening
Schools for ex-service men and wo
men in Chicago will open for the
fourth year Monday evcning( Octo
ber 2. Registration began last Mon
day evening and the number of en
trants during the week indicates that
the capacity of the school will be
taxed.
Education is in the air” says Wil
liam J. Bogan, dean of the schools.
“All schools are crowded this year.
Also the touch of slow times is hav
ing its effect.' We in the Chicago
Public school system- have an adage
that hard times mean bigger night
schools.” Mr. Brogan has been prin
cipal of the Lane Technical High
School of the Chicago system for
many years.
“When work is heavy and wages
high the young people are satisfied
and spend the leisure spending their
money,” he continued. “When times
are harder they become dissatisfied
and look into the future. Then they
begin to see ways and means of bet
tering their position. The Knights
of Columbus Free Schools meet their
requirement in every way.”
Three large school buildings are
employed by the Knights of Colum
bus Schools, old south division high
school on the south side, St. Ignatius
College Building on the west side,
and De Paul University Building on
the north side. These buildings are
equipped with every facility for
short, practical, and complete cour
se in all elementary, grammar, vo
cational and commercial branches.
Well equipped shops are at the ser
vice of those following mechanical
trades.
Ninety instructors are employed*,
each school having its own principal
and staff of teachers selected from
the high schools, colleges and uni
versities about the city and from
experts in the commercial and vo
cational lines.

Minnesota Pastor Makes His Flock
Prosperous ,4s Well As Spiritual
In Addition to His Priestly Duties, Father Thiellon Showed
His Parishoners How to Farm, and Built Factory to
Finish Their Products—“The Boss of Gentilly” They Re
verentially Call Him.
Gentilly, Minn. — The “Boss of
Gentilly,” as he is familiarly and
lovingly known, is a Catholic priest,
the Rev. Elie Thiellon, pastor $' St.
Peter’s Church.
Aside from being pastor of his
flock and having erected one of the
most beautiful churches in the dio
cese of Crookston, Father Gentilly
is business manager, sales manager,
advertising manager and general
manager of Gentilly’s most distic-
tlve co-operative enterprise:—the
Gentilly cheese factory.
The factory is owned by the Gen
tilly Dairy Association, which was
established twenty-seven years ago
by Father Thiellon and has paid
seven per cent dividends ever since.
Recently it erected a new $12,000
factory. From this factory, cheese
is sent to every part of the United
States. It is served in leading ho
tels as far west as San Francisco and
as far east as New York. Patrons of
the dining cars of the New York
Central are familiar with its merit-
Father Theillon came to the
United States from Limoges, France,
in 1888, and was assigned to Gen
tilly, a settlement of Frcnch-Cana-
dians who had come down from the
province of Quebec in the late ’se
venties and the early ’eighties.
When the new priest arrived, the
farmers were mostly raising wheat.
Crops were not good. The farmers
were discouraged. There was talk
of moving away.
Father Theillon changed all this.
He was one of the first men in Min
nesota to anticipate the end of wheat
farming. He called his parishioners
together and formed the Gentilly
Dairy Association. On his advice
the farmers put their surplus money
into live stock. They bought cows.
Then the cheese factory was started.
Since that time it has grown and
prospered. Started" with a capital
of $10,000 it has never failed to
make its seven per cent dividend, as
well as furnishing a market for the
milk. Three hundred and fifty cows,
owned by the farmers within a ra
dius of five miles of Gentilly fur
nish the milk that makes the cheese.
Father Gentilly runs the business-
And evidence of his business ability
is not lacking in the district, for his
flock is prosperous and happy.
Every family in Gentilly has its own
automobile. Farms are well kept;
men, women and children are well
dressed and the young folks are
staying home in Gentilly.
The basement of the new St. Pe
ter’s Church probably has as big
an attraction for these young folk
as any place of amusement in the
state. It is used for dances, for
harvest festivals, for all kinds of
parties for young and old and it is
the real community center of Gen
tilly. In the rectory Father Theil
lon proudly exhibits the silver cup
won by Gentilly cheese at the Min
nesota State Fair and beside it is
his certificate as head of the Gen
tilly Liberty Loan Association dur
ing the war.

In South Africa
Capetown.—The Church of South
Africa is mourning the loss of one
of its most venerable and beloved
priests, the Rev. Dr. Michael Colgan,
who has just passed away at Cape

The long career of Dr. Colgan, who
had already celebrated the golden
jubilee of his ordination, dates from
the early days of the history of the
Church in the Cape district, for
when he arrived at Capetown, soon
after his ordination, there were oply
three priests in Capetown and only
two in the rest of the peninsula, one
at Rondebosch and one at STmons-
town.
Forty years ago Dr. Colgan found
ed the Sacred Heart parish at Cape
town, where lie had worked tireless
ly ever since in behalf of the spirit
ual, economic and social betterment
of all classes.

FR. BRADLEY, O.3.B.
Elected Benedictine Prior at
Pueblo.
Pueblo.—Rev. Cyprian Bradley,
O. S. B., formerly prefect of the
seminary at St. Vincent Archabbey,
Beatty, Pa., has been chosen conven
tual prior of the new independent
Benedictine monastery of this city,
according to word received here. Fa
ther Cyprian was at one time pas
tor of St. Leander’s church in Pu
eblo.
Authorization for the erection of
the new dormitory was contained in
a rescript from Rome announced
here last month. The Benedictine
College, built here in 1903 by Arch
abbot Schneer, reopened this month
after having been closed since the
beginning of the war, when the de
mand for army chaplains depleted
the teaching staff. The Benedictine
Fathers of St. Vincent’s have been
engaged in missionary work in Colo
rado for 35 years,, the first band
having arrived there in 1887.
London. — Gilbert K. Chesterton,
noted English writer, received the
Sacrament of Confirmation at the
hands of the Bishop of Northamp
ton. The services were held in St.
Augustine’s Church, High Wycombe.
Many members of the congregation
of St. Augustine’s were present.
Chesterton recently became a
member of the Catholic church, his
conversion being the cause of con
siderable coniment on the part of
the Anglican clergy.
Nuns Recalled to Calais
Paris.—A very favorable impres
sion has been created by the recent
action of the Calais Hospital Admin
istration in recalling the nuns to the
hospitals from which they were
banished a few years ago under the
administration of a - Socialistic
mayor.
Ever since the departure of the
nuus serious complaints have been
made of the poor management of
the hospitals.
The vote of tlje Hospital Adminis
tration Committee was three to one
in favor of the return of the re
ligious.
