most satisfactory attendance. Once,
again the halls echoed with the
familiar voices of the old stu

newcomers.

Ghost was celebrated by Father
Albert A. Faase, assistant pastor
of St. Peter’s Church in the ab
sence of the pastor, Monsignor
Martin C. Murphy, who is at pre-
ent visiting his native Ireland.
Hymns were sung by the student
body and the inspiring words of
welcome and encouragement of
Father Faase gave the students an
impetus to venture into the new
school year with eager anticipa
tion.
Though some of the members of
the 1945-46 faculty have been re
placed, the students at Ursuline
High School were happy to find
that Sister Mary Edith, O. S. U.,
continued as the principal. Sister
Mary Edith has enjoyed the
esteem and affection of the stu
dents for the last four years, and
through her initiative and capable
leadership the school has attained
a high reputation, not'only In this

Grant Concessions for
Night Workers From
Pre-Communion Fast
(Special to'The Bulletin)
SAVANNAH, Ga. — In a letter
addressed to pastors of churches
in Georgia, Monsignor Joseph E.
Moylan, Vicar General of the Dio
cese of Savannah-Atlanta, has an
nounced that concessions in regard
to fasting befiye receiving Holy
Communion have been granted,
under certain conditions, to those
whose employment requires them
to work habitually after midnight.
Monsignor Moylan reports that
His Excellency, The Most Rev.
Amleto Giovanni Cicognani,
Apostolic Delegate to the United
States, announced on July 26,
1946, that His Holiness Pope
Pius XII granten this faculty to
the Ordinaries of Dioceses in the
United States, for a period of
three years, under the following
conditions:
1— The Most Reverend Ordina
ries, in granting dispensations
pnder the faculty, must proceed in
a way that is certain to determi
nate, not leaving the use of this
privilege to the judgment of the
faithful;
2— This dispensation may he
given for Sundays and Feasts of
Precept and for one other day
duing the week as the devotion of
the individual communicant may
dictate; furthermore, in the case
of nursing Sisters disifensation
may be granted for daily Commu
nion whenever the previous night
has been spent in service of the
sick.
3—At the expiration of the fac
ulty, a report is tq b<? made to the
Sacred Congregation of Sacra
ments on the use of the faculty
and on its advantages and dis
advantages.
This concession to those whose
employment requires them to
work habitually after midnight,
by which they are permitted to
receive Holy Communion on Sun
days and Holy Days of Obligation
and on one other day din ing the
week, first Fridays, special feast
days and special occasion days,
for instance, as the individual
communicant may dictate, fasting
only four hours from solid food
and only one hour from liquid, is
required, with tile further stipu
lation that they shall have ab
stained from all alcoholic drinks
from midnight.
In order to obtain this dispen
sation, the night worker must con
sult the parish priest, outside the
1 confessional, and explain (he rea
son for his request, so that the
pastor may decide that the appli
cant has tlie right to these con
cessions.
Monsignor Moylan also advised
that record must be kept of the
number of persons who have ob
tained this faculty- The pastor
ipust report at the end of each
year, making a notation of his an
nual report as to how many limes
he has granted the dispensation.
This is important, said Monsignor
Moylan, since the renewal of the
faculty three years hence will de
pend upon its use.
