Bestows Apostolic Blessing
on Movement in Message to
Supreme Knight Carmody
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
NEW HAVEN. - His Holiness Pope
Pius XI has bestowed his Apostolic
Benediction upon the Knights of Co
lumbus and their campaign of Cath
olic Action, Martin H- Carmody, Su
preme Knight of the K. of C. has
been advised in the. following letter
just received from His Eminence
Cardinal Paoelli, Papal Secretary of
State:
‘'My dear Mr. Carmody:
"I have received the letter of Jan
uary 18, which you wrote in y'our
character of Supreme Knight of the
Knigsts of Columbus to acquaint me
with the noble determination of the
Order to re-dedicate itself in these
days so fraught with social and civil
unrest to the apostolate of Catholic
Action which it has illustrated by
such signal and inspiring success in
the past.
‘’Knowing as I do the splendid
work in so many fields of lay co-op
eration with the Hierarchy and the
clergy which has been and is being
carried on at home and abroad, and
particularly here in the' Eternal
City so close to the heart of the Holy
Father, I could not but be deeply
interested to learn that your organ
ization is now about to launch an
extensive movement in North Amer
ica for the purpose of bringing many
more members within the benefi
cent circles of its influence.

(Special to The Bulletin)
“It is my earnest hope and fervent
prayer that this laudable endeavor
to enroll the Catholic manhood of
North America in the ranks of the
Knights of Columbus may be a bril
liant success so that by a greatly-
enlarged but carefully selected mem-
"bership you may be enabled, in de
voted co-operation with the Hier
archy, to address yourselves with in
creased personnel and adequate re
sources to the practical solution of
those problems of social and civil
life which put to such severe tests
the souls of Catholics today-.
’’The need is great; the present
crallenges Catholic Action. The
noble ideals of Christian Chivalry
which your Constitution sets before
you, the distinguished service by
which in the past you have translat
ed these ideals into action in the
cause of Church and of State, the
high approbation with which the
Sovereign Pontiff has followed and
blessed your career of beneficence,
the warm eulogies of your contribu
tions to Catholic life and to the life
of your peoples which have been
pronounced on so many occasions by
Bishops and priests—all these are so
many potent reasons why the invi
tation you are about to issue should
call forth a ready- response from the
elite of North America's manhood. I
should like to add another reason;
the magnificent example of frater
nal assistance and support which
you are giving by your prayers and
by your campaign of publicity to
your persecuted fellow Catholics of
Mexico.
“It is, then, with particular bene
volence and as a mark of his pater
nal pleasure with the aims and
achievements of the past, as well as
of his hopes for the future that the
Holy Father bestows upon the
Knights of Columbus and upon their
efforts to increase their membership
his cordial Apostolic Benediction.
“With sentiments of deep esteem
and of religious devotion, I am. my
dear Mr. Carmody,
“Sincerely yours in Christ,
(Signed): “E. CARD. PACELLI.”

Various Cities Inaugurate It
With Special Programs
The Knights of Columbus Mobili
zation Campaign started in the va
rious cities in the Southeast Sunday
with Catholic Action meetings. In
Augusta the meeting was held at
Knights of Columbus Home at noon.
Grand Knight James B. Mulherin
presiding; Victor J. Dorr, past state
deputy and a past member of the Su
preme Board of the order is chair
man of the campaign for Augusta.
Similar meetings elsewhere in the
South Atlantic States made plans for
the mobilization campaign, and it is
anticipated that the Southeast will
do at least as well proportionately as
any other section; the aim is for the
Southeast to surpass other sections.
At Macon the principal address was
delivered by Lewis F. Gordon, of At
lanta.

ington, Ga., Orphanage
AUGUSTA, Ga. — The minstrel
show, sponsored by the Sacred Heart
Parent Teacher’s Association, was
presented in February. Last year was
the first year for the Junior Minstrel
and it scored such a hit that the boys
were asked to participate in the Elks
Minstrel of 1934. The boys were as
good as the old veterans themselves
Trained by the Sisters of Sacred
Heart, they deserve great credit. Ex
ceptionally clever singing and danc

new recruits. The cast was as follows:
Interlocutor: Bernard Smythe: end-

were enjoyed by all after the per
formance. The trip to Washington
was financed by Catholic and non-
Catholic friends of the school.
IN AUGUSTA the Rev. Leo M.

Church, and Hugh Kinchley partici

in which two other laymen and two
other clergymen, Protestant and

and trust that I may at least approach
the expectations, which they un
doubtedly entertain, as they contem
plate the advent of their new shep
herd.”
Breakfast Opens Program.
Judge Cosgrove, Richard
Reid Program Speakers
(By A. /F. of L. News Service)
CHARLESTON, S. C. — The Mob
ilization for Catholic Action cam
paign of the 7 Knights of Columbus
was launched in Charleston Sunday
with a Communion Mass at the Ca
thedral of 'St. John the Baptist at 7
o’clock, at which the sermon was de
livered by the Rt. Rev. Msgr- James
J. May, V. G. Over 250 Knights of
Columbus received Holy Communion
and attended the Communion
breakfast at Columbus Hall follow
ing the Mass.
Monsignor May in his sermon em
phasized the fact that the starting
point of Catholic Action is for those
participating to make themselves
worthy by keeping themselves in the
state of grace; real Catholic Action is
impossible without that, he said, for
it has no foundation. He felicitated
the members of the Charleston
Council on the splendid way in
which they started the campaign by
the large number at Holy Commu
nion.
Dr. D. L. Maguire was toastmaster
at the breakfast, at which the prayer
was offered by Monsignor May. The
speakers were Judge John I. Cos
grove, grand knight, who spoke on
the saint of the day, St. Patrick, and
Richard Reid, editor of The Bulle
tin, Augusta, whose subject was the
Catholic Mobilization Campaign of
tre Knights of Columbus, the future
of which he said is assured not only
by the record of the order in the
past, but by its activities and accom
plishments /each day.
The hall was decorated with the
colors of St. Patrick. A message,, of
regret was sent to John D. Rooney,
chairman, and the Rev. C. A. Kenne
dy, chaplain, whom illness prevented
from attending. Edward A. Leonard
and Charles R. Witt entertained with
splendid vocal solos of Irish songs,
with Miss Mary C. Whiteside and
Mrs. Caroline P. Hennessy as accom
panists.
Statistics presented at the breakfast
indicated that the P. N. Lynch Coun
cil of Charleston has in less than a
year conducted three degrees, and
that the increase in membership
through initiations during that time
under the leadership of Grand
Knight Cosgrove has been over 130
members, or an increase in member
ship of one-third. Another class is
planned for May.
Mission at Alapaha
Southwest Georgia Com
munity Has First in Its
History
(Special to The Bulletin)
ALBANY. Ga.—For the first time
in history, the parish of Alapaha on
the Alhany missions had a mission
early this month. It was conducted
by Father V. F, Kienberger, O. P.,
of the Dominican Fathers at Hous
ton, Texas. The Alapaha parish is
one of the most unique in Georgia, a
rural parish with a most interesting
history. A mission for the children
was given in connection with that for
adults- The attendance of both adults
and children was splendid. Alapaha’s
parish, St. Bridget’s, is on the South
west Georgia Missions, of which the
Rev- Thomas A. Brennan is pastor,
(Continued from Page One)
sity of Munich, in Germany. He re
ceived the degree Doctor of Divinity
in Rome. After teaching in Rome
and in this country, he was named
Auxiliary Bishop of San Francisco
on October 22, 1912, and was conse
crated on December 4, of the same
year. He was named Archbishop of
San Francisco on June 1, 1915.
Active in many fields, Archbishop
Hanna won a nation-wide reputation
in arbitration work on industrial
and labor disputes. Governors and
the President himself have called
upon him to serve on commissions
and boards. As late as last June,
President Roosevelt, exercising for
the first time a power which Con
gress had but recently given him,
named Archbishop Hanna chairman
of the National Longshoremen’s
Board in connection with the serious
maritime strike on the Pacific Coast.
A San Francisco daily paper, hailing
this appointment by the President,
called Archbishop Hanna an “Apos
tle of Peace”.
Archbishop Mitty served as a mil
itary chaplain overseas in the World
War, and afterward was chaplain at
West Point.
