HONOR AUGUSTA SISTER
ON HER GOLDEN JUBILEE
(From the Western Watchman, St.
Louis)
We are constantly hearing and
reading of the large numbers of
“'fallen away” Catholic in this coun
try. Figures have been given to
show that they far excel the num
bers of converts .who enter the
Church. Many are the causes why
individuals and whole families have
fallen away from the Catholic reli
gion, its beliefs and practices. One
of these is that jiarishes or mis
sions once established and more or
less flourishing have been '‘aban
doned.”
To restore anfl revive these home
missions is the especial aim of a
new religious congregation recent
ly erected canonically in this coun
try, with the official approval of
the Sacred Congregation of the Af
fairs of Keligious. It is the third
society or congregation of the
Catholic Church to be founded in
America. It is known as the Mis
sionary Servants of the Most Holy
Trinity, and has priests and broth
ers as its members. As told in the
Catholic Press, the “Decree of
Erection" was signed by Rt. Rev.
Thomas Joseph Toolen, Bishop of
Mobile, and announcement made by
the Rev. Thomas Augustine Judge,
C. M„ M. S. SS. T., founder of the
community,
The society has been organized
for work on the abandoned Home
Missions, particularly the Missions
of the South,” says the report. The
work was started by Father Judge
as a lay movement, when he found
in Alabama an abandoned mission.
Students for the priesthood and for
the religious life are preparing and
others are doing mission work now.
There are Sisters of the same So
ciety. These workers go out and
endeavor to reclaim fallen away
Catholics and to interest laymen
and women in this work, to aid it
and to join the congregation. They
publish a magazine, S. O. S., which
tells of their needs and appeals to
people of good will and zeal who
may wish to join in their labors.
