Sacred Heart Program
AUGUSTA, Ga.—Through the
co-operation of the Jesuit Fathers
at the Sacred Heart Church here
and the Catholic Laymen’s Asso
ciation of Georgia, arrangements
have been made through Program
Director Louis Rigdon, of Radio
Station WRDW for the broadcast
of the Sacred Heart Program as
a regular sustaining feature over
the facilities of WRDW.
This program, which is spon
sored by the Apostleship of
Prayer, originates at Station WEW
in St Louis, and is rebroadcast
from more than sixty other sta
tions throughout the United States
and from Alaska. The program is
also broadcast in Spanish in
Puerto Rico and in Polish from
Chicago.
Among the stations over which
the program is heard are WCPO,
Cincinnati; FIBG, Philadelphia;
BEEI, Boston; WMCA, New York;
WMBR, Jacksonville; KFAC, Los
Angeles; KMYR, Denver, and
WFIG, Sumter, S. C.
While the Sacred Heart Program
is produced under Catholic aus
pices, it is a radio feature that is
enjoyed by millions of listeners of
every religious belief. The pro
gram is not apologetic or contro
versial, but strictly devotional.
Speakers on the program are
Jesuit Fathers of the faculty of St.
Louis University, and the choir is
composed of Jesuit scholastics and
students at the University.
The initial broadcast of the
Sacred Heart Program over Sta
tion WRDW will be on Sunday,
June 21, from 9:45 until 10 p. m.,
and succeeding broadcasts will be
at the same hour each Sunday
night.
“The popularity of this program
is evidenced by the fact that we
received two hundred and fifty let
ters during the month of Febru
ary,” writes the director of Station
WORC, Worcester, Mass., and
“we feel that a program of this na
ture would have a splendid effect
during our national emergency on
the citizens of the territory,”
writes the director of Station
KINY, Juneau, Alaska.
Instrumental in bringing this ra
dio feature to Augusta, is the Rev.
Aloysius W. Burk, S. J., assistant
at the Sacred Heart Church, who
for twenty years has been engaged
in radio work. He was one of the
pioneers in the field of religious
broadcasting, Station WWL, at
Loyola University of the South,
New Orleans, being established
under his direction.

Papal Decree to Bestow
Title of ‘‘Venerable”
on Kateri Tekakwitha
(Radio N. C. C. W. C. News Service)
VATICAN CITY.—His Holiness
Pope Pius XII has agreed most
willingly to the publication of a
decree setting forth the findings
of the Sacred Congregation of
Rites proclaiming that the virtues
of Kateri Tekakwitha, “Lily of
the Mohawks,” were heroic.
The Holy Father ratified the
favorable result of the Sacred
Congregation’s discussions at an
audience accorded to His Emi
nence Carlo Cardinal *Salotti, Pre
fect of the Sacred Congregation
of Rites and Relator of Kateri Te-
kakwitha's cause. The audience
followed a meeting of the Sacred
Congregation held in the presence
of Pope Pius XII, to consider the
virtues of the American Indian
maiden.
The date for the publication of
the decree has not yet been fixed.
But when it does appear, the de
cree will style Kateri Tekakwitha
as Venerable, and in the future
she may be addressed by that
title.
With the publication of the de
cree proclaiming the virtues of
the “Lily of the Mohawks” to have
been heroic, the first of the pro
cess for her beatification, namely,
that dealing with her personal
qualities, will have been complet
ed. Then will begin the second part
of the Apostolic Process, namely,
that dealing with miracles pro
posed in her cause. The purpose
will be to obtain a decree stating
that miracles really were worked
through the intercession of Ka
teri Tekakwitha. Then beatifica
tion will be decided.
This second step in the process
of beatification for the “Lily of
authorized by the Sacred Congre
gation of Rites and the Remissor-
ial Letters for this purpose are in
the hands of the Most Rev. Fran
cis J. Magner, Bishop of Mar
quette, Mich., and the Most Rev.
Joseph F. Ryan, Bishop of Hamil
ton, Ontario, in whose diocese the
miracles proposed in Tekakwitha s
cause are reported to have taken
place.
