nTIIOIIL CONVENTION NOV. 6
Diocesan Council
President's Message
Vacation time is about over.
Many organizations have been
inactive during the hot summer
months but not all the members
of those organizations. Your dio
cesan and deanery officers and
chairmen have been busy laying
the groundwork for a fruitful
year of Catholic Action beginning
Sunday, August 29th.
We sincerely hope you will
respond to our appeal for more
active members in the Diocesan
Council. There are so many lit
tle acts you can do to aid others
and yourself to attain spiritual
betterment. There is a grave need
for spiritual principles in the
lives of all of us. We should rec
ognize the opportunity and the
responsibility to serve God and
our country by the faithful and
conscientious direction of our
acts of Catholic Action to God's
plan under the guidance of Our
Lady of Good Counsel.

Catholic
Action Pay
(By Rev: John D. Tooraey,
Spiritual Director)
Sunday, August 29, has been
officially designated as “Cath
olic Action Day” in our diocese.
This day is being sponsored by
the Diocesan Council of Catholic
Women in an all-out effort to
enlist large numbers of women
in the diocese in works of Catho
lic Action and to bring about a
greater interest in the program
of the Council. It is planned to
distribute questionnaires to wo
men at the doors of every parish
church and they in turn are
asked to return these to their
pastors on the following Sunday.
These forms contain an invitation
/
to all women to participate in
the Council’s work and they give
an opportunity to each woman to
indicate what phase of the pro
gram she would be interested in
following.
This day should serve to em
phasize the important role of
every Catholic in the life of the
Church. “Catholic Action” means
one thing: the continuation of the
work of Jesus in the world to
day. It is a wmrk of teaching the
Word of God, of accepting the
Word and living by it, of bringing
Christ’s mercy to all men, of
Christian charity. It is a spirit of
helpfulness to your bishop and
pastor in many phases of their
ministry. It is a cheerful “yes”
when called on to assist in a par
ish gathering. It is sewing and
cooking and sweeping and the
cleaning of sacristy shelves. It is
prayer and study and meeting.
It is all these things and many
more. But above all, it is a
Christian zeal to do something
worthwhile in the life of the dio
cese and parish, even though
one’s time and strength is limit
ed. Catholic Action, as we see it,
gives everyone an opportunity to
fulfill in some way his mission as
a Christ-bearer,
Catholic Action demands a cer
tain amount of organization and a
certain direction. Otherwise, we
would be working at loose ends
and may fail to accomplish much
in a positive way. For this rea
son the Council was established
and local societies were founded.
Working together in this way,
plans can be laid and much good
can be done. And yet the diverse
phases of this program and the
many needs of every parish offer
a place for every individual
whatever her interest and talents
may be. We want to know these
interests on Catholic Action Day.
We want you to offer your ser
vice in bringing nearer the day
when the Kingdom of God will
be firmly established on earth.
