Fr. Cassidy Conducts
Spring Hill Retreat
Last Exercises of Year
Finest of Long Series
MOBILE. Ala. — The most notable
retreat held at Spring Hill College
came to a close on Monday, August
25. A large number of representa
tive Catholic laymen from Alabama
and the nearby states attended and
were enthralled by the uplifting ex
ercises of the retreat. To a man there
was but one regret, that the week
end which they spent amongst the
piney groves of Spring Half College
could not be prolonged. One of the
retreatants thus expressed himself:
“If I could communicate to every
Christian man in the South the feel
ing of happiness I experience today,
the spacious buildings of Spring Hill
Collge could not begin to accommo
date the crowd that would be here
for these retreats. Tent;s would have
to be procured.”
The retreat was organized by the
Ignatian Retreat League, a body of
laymen whose aim is to promigate
these yearly laymen’s retreats. The
Rev. E. T. Cassidy. S. J., conducted
the exercises. To his able and inter
esting exposition of the great truths
which form the subject matter oi-the
lectures, was due. in a great Measure,
the phenominal success of the retreat.
During the retreat the material com
fort and well being of the retreatants
was ably looked after by the Rev. D.
P. Lawton. S. J., spiritual director of
the Ignatian Retreat League. Noth
ing was left undone to make the stay
of the retreatants at Spring Hill Col
lege something to look • back upon
with feelings of the keenest pleasure
and gratitude to those who contribut
ed so selflessly to it.

! WASHINGTON. D. C. — The mos-
i aic of Murillo's “Immaculate Concep-
j tion,” the gift of His Holiness, Pope
j Pius XI, to the National Shrine of
I the Immaculate Conception on the
| campus of the Catholic University of
; America here, is receiving its final
J treatment in the Vatican studio of
mosaics, and will be received here
! in time to be set up in the Shrine by
tDecember 8—the diamond jubilee of
: the dogma of the Immaculate Con-
' ception. the Rev. Dr. Bernard A. Mc
Kenna announced recently.
This inlormation. Doctor McKenna
said, was contained in a letter which
he has just received from Count
Muceileli. director of the Vatican
studio, who stated that at the time
of writing the mosaic needed only
“sharpening” and “polishing.” Before
it is shipped to America, however, he
said, the Holy Father will visit the
mosaic workshop and personally
bless this work.
The mosaic, which has required
approximately six years to complete,
is said to be the largest single niece
of work ever produced in the Vati
can studio. The gift of the mosaic
to the Shrine was the generous 5m-
, pulse of Pope Benedict XV. The
death of that Pontiff prevented his
keeping his pledge, but Pope Pius
XI faithfully respected it. and charg
ed Count Muccioli to see that the
work would be a worthy testimony
of the Pontiff’s affection for the
United States and especially for the
Catholic University of America.

W A S H I N GTON — Anti-Catholic
activity is evident throughout the
Southwest, and, in the opinion of
those close to the situation, it de
pends upon Catholic action, organ
ized and directed, whether the fu
ture population of that section will
be Catholic or anti-Catholic, Miss
Linna E. Bressette, of the Depart
ment of Social Affairs, N. C. W. C,
declares in the third and final sec
tion of “A Survey of the Mexican
Situation in the United States," just
made public.
Miss Bressette also declares that
“the ever increasing number of Mexi
cans in this country presents a so
cial. economic and religious problem
of increasing importance to the Ca
tholic Church, not alone in the
United States, but also to the future
of the Church in Mexico.”
