Walsh, Coad jutor Bishop of Youngstown, will observe the silver jubilee of his episcopal consecration by offering a Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome on September 8. Bishop Walsh sailed on August 15 on his first trip to Rome since 1934. He had completed all ar rangements for a visit to the Eter nal City in 1949, but had to can cel the trip because his transfer from the office of Bishop of Charleston to that of Coadjutor Bishop of Youngstown took place at that time. He will be accompanied by Monsignor George Lewis Smith, pastor of St. Mary Help of Chris tians Church, Aiken, S. C., who was to have been his companion in 1949.

From Ireland they went to Eng land for a week before proceeding to France.

While in Rome they are expect ed to have an audience with His Holiness Pope Pius XII at Castel- gandolfo, the Papal summer resi dence. They are scheduled to re turn in October on the SS. Bian- camano. Novena Notes has never carried paid advertisements, nor ... do we make an exception in this cen ter spread. We were privileged to preview the new WARNER BRO THERS picture “The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima” and adjective superatives just don’t describe how we feel about Hollywood’s latest production. For years . . . we have read everything written about Fatima, tried to relay our impressions to Novenites in writ ten words, but . . . never felt satisfied. Printed effort . . . just did not convey what we had in mind and heart. Instinctively . , . before we saw “The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima” we figured the presentation would leave us cold and indifferent. For once in our life . . . we have to apologize to Hollywood! The picture not only surpassed expectation but . . . left us with the impression, this was one of the great pictures of all time giving an accurate account of the greatest drama, the most bril liant message of this age. In the picture . . . there is no exaggera tion, no distortion of reality ... It simply tells the story as it unfold ed itself in 1917. (Only one character, a sort of seedy tramp, played by Gilbert Roland does not fit into the historic picture. How ever ... he does provide comic re lief and certainly does not distort the truth.) Done in color, with huge settings a-la-Cecil de Mille . . . the picture does not make appeals of any kind. It simply tells the story a.s it hap pened . . . far more effective than the tons of ink we have used in Novena Notes ... it is a “MUST” ... for all the family and one of those pictures you want to talk about . . . never feel satisfied un til all your friends have seen it. If people don’t believe in God and the supernatural . . . “The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima” will ap pear fantastic and absurd. If they do ... it will dig into the sub conscious and make them want to take constructive action. If they love our Lady and know the story of Fatima and all it means . . .the picture will puli out all the stops of emotion, from tears of sorrow to those of joy. Those of you who, like ourselves, seldom look at movie ads . . . watch your paper and make sure and see “The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima.” From past experience . . . you know Novena Notes has been un- Monsignor Manning Heads Charleston Diocesan Schools CHARLESTON, S.
