Issues Vague in State Elections
lly Marilyn )JcGowan
As the calendar swif tly approaches November 4, election day, and
campaigning draws to a close, the intere!t.cd eitizens of New Y.:Jrk
Stale muRt begin to correlat-e and synthesi1.e the claims made by
candidnLes of both parties and decide which mnn will best serve the
1>eo1>lc, in office.
1' hc Republican slate is composed of Nelson Rockefeller, Malcom
Wil"on, Kenneth Keating and Jacob Lefkowitz, while on the Demo­et
·ntic side we see Gove-rnor Averell Hunimnn, Thomas DeLuca, Dis·
tt·iet Attorney Frank Hogan and Peter Crotty. These men are vying
for the positions of G<>vernor, Lieutenant-Governor, Senator and
Attorney-General respectively. Of interest to Roehesterians is the
congt·essioMl contest for a repre­sentative
from the 38th District.
Democrat Alphonse Casetti and
Republican Judy Weis are the
candidates for this office. The
nomination oi Mrs. Weis indi­cates
the political power that
women in n body can wield.
One of the unusual aspects of
this campaign is the rather strik­ing
s imilarity of views expressed
by bot.h parties on var-ious eam ..
pnign issues. For instance both
Rockefeller and Harriman have
upheld the folly of excessive tax
cuts. Both claim they will take
positive measures to keep indus~
try in New York State.
Enga&ed in the gabernatorial
contest we have two men, both
extremely competent and both
popular with the different ele­ments
of New York electorate.
We have seen Rockefeller blast­;
ng the present governor as a
llliPPCt o! Tammany Hall. On the
othct· hand we can see the indc­l)
endent accomplishments o! Har­l'imnn
during his fou1· years in
olllec. Another J>Oint of interest
is the !net that the successes nnd
fnilut·es or the pa.st four yean
must to some extent be shared by
both parties as they were brought
nbouL by a Democratic governor
with the aid o! a Republican leg­islature.
Speech Assembly
Announces Progr~
S1>ceeh Assembly has announced
the following officers for the com­ing
year: Sally Denvir, chair­man;
Noreen McCarthy, Secre­tnry-
Tt·easut·er; S u z n nne Ma­honey,
I>Ublleity.
SI)Cceh Assembly !u l~lls a two­fold
function of sponsoring dra­mntie
action in the school and o!
offe1·ing an cxtra·eurricular pro~
fessionnl organization for speech
correction majors. To fulfill the
first of these functions the speech
department has announced The
Assembly of Actors' Lab which
will be under the direction of
Miss Steck beck.
The first general meeting of
Speech Assembly was held Oc­tober
16 at three o'clock. Dr.
James Toncry spoke to the Speech
Col'l'cetlon majors on the relation
between mnlocel usion and s peech
defect.a. Subsequent lectures will
include one by a psychologist,
one by a pediatrician and a third
by s peech gt·aduates !rom Naz.
areth College who are working in
the field.
The junior and senior speech
correction mnjors are combining
their efforts in a research project
at Nazare~h and St. John Fisher
Colleges. All freshmen at both
colleges are being screened by
the junior Sl>eeeh majors. The
seniors will tabulate and publish
the t·csu lts.
THE GLEANER
Irregular Verbs
In the wee hours oC the morn­;
ng &II enterprising English disc­jockey
originat.ed ' 'conjugating ir·
regular verbs" to pass the time.
The game caught on quickly and
the New Statesmnn and Nation,
"" English weekly, begun to offer
prizes. Below arc some of the ir·
regular verb• nnd how they were
conjugated.
- 1 am form.
You nrc obstinate.
He is n pig-headed tool.
- 1 am righteously indignant.
You are annoyed.
He is making a fuss about
nothing.
- 1 am beautiful.
You have quite good features.
She isn't bt1d looking iC you
like the type.
- 1 huvo about me something of
the s ubtle, hnunting, myster­ious
frngruncc of the Ot;cnt.
You t•nthe r overdo it, dear.
She smells.
II you would like to try your
own hand grammatically, here
are a few verbs to start with.
- 1 am a trifle overweight.
-Naturally, I use a little make-up.
- I'm just an old-fashioned girl.
Indian summer: That period
between World Series drnwings
and football pools.
- Th• worst ex!lmples of snap

- Statistic& indicate that the aver­age

You can buy a solid gold shoe
horn at a Fifth A venue jeweler's
!or $895.00.
Three-way mirror: One that
triples the chnnee.s of a woman's
beginning n diet.
The senatorial campaign has
proved to be a lively one. Roch·
est.erian Kenneth Keating has the
excellent t•ecord of his twelve
years in Congress behind him, but
he has the disadvantage of being
n very little known politieul
figure outside of the Rochester
nrea. fo'l'nnk Hogan, the Demo­crt•
tic candidate, is a well known
figure in the metropolitan New
York lll'ea. It is true that he h~s
no legislative experience, but his
attomptishments as District At­torney
will stand him in good
stead in the coming elections.
Program Initiated For Frosh Seminar
Peter Crotty is making a brave
attempt to defeat popular and
t>owet·ful Jacob Lefkowitz in the
rncc Cot· Attorney-General.
As things look now it is quite
poRsible thnt neither party will
win all these posts. Of course, in
the event oC a landslide one way
or the other, one party could
easily see nil its candidates vic­torious.
Whntevet· the final results will
be, we can do our part, be we of

developments within our state.

"The gre:~test error of the Christians ... would be to let t he world
take shupe and unite without them, without God-or against Him;
to be satisfied with recipes and tactics for their apostolate . . . The
atheistic and nnti·Christian civilization which ia apreading in our time
can give way to a sacred culture, to a Christian transfiguration of
life. Need we add that this task is incumbent on the intellectuals?
They must bend every possible effort to the creation of a Christian
society ..• The first apostolate, at the pre•ent crossroads, is in the
re;~lm of Thought."
Cardinal Suhard, Growlh and l)ecline
The above thoughts, very mean­ingful
in themselves, also eon­tnin
the llUrl>ose tor t he newly
established "Freshman Honor
Progrnm." Under the direction o!
its co-ordinator, Sister Saint
C11therine, Dean of Studies, this
experimentul program has f oT its
more immediate objectives the
better undentanding of the pur­poses
of a college education, and
the meaning of the intellectual
life and ita apostolicity. It seeks
to pt·omote a better appt·eciation
of the res1>onsibility placed upon
the individual in regard to his
education and i• designed to look
into gt·~at issues that are related
to the various fields in which
students mny major. As is t·eadily
understondnble, this excellent pro­gram
has certain requirements
be! ore individuals can enroll. They
must have been in the uppet· ten
per cent of their high school grad­uating
class or they must have
had an 11vernge of ninety per cent
or over in their ncademic subjects
in high school.
The means by which this pro­gram
is going to achieve its end
is lectuns given by the !aeult)'
and guest apeaken, readings of a
selected nature and finally the dis.
euaaion that follows. Acting on
these principles, the candidates of
this program will come tA) realize
their full pot.entlal as individua's
in our world society today.
As it is being initiated this
year Iot· the first lime, the Fres h­men
ouly will hnvc the oppm··
tunity to enjoy the full value o!
such a wonderful planned pro­gram.

Chaplain's Corner
On The Avoidance of Men
Jly Rev. William S. Shannon
There are times when I get a bit annoyed with Thomas a Kemp
and his g reat spiritual classic 'l'be Imitation of Christ. Frankly, tht~
at-e times when I think thnt the monk is talking tht·ough his co~
Don't misunderstand me, plense. I realize !ulJ well thnt the 1milat'
of Chri•t is u gt·eal work of spirituality. It has done o lot of good 1
many people, even tor me. But still there are times when 1 wish
wouldn't say the things that he says. Every once in n while I Ita
the suspicion that he is giving me a bad lead. 1 !eel inclined to sa
"Look. Thomas, you can't possibly mean that. Maybe aome cop ·
interpolated in your manu..,ript or maybe you forgot to proof-read it
Here are some samples of what
I mean: •"Avoid the acquaintance
of men." uMost sainta avoided as
much AS pcsoible the company of
men." 1'As often as J have gone
among men, l hn ve returned home
less a man."
Now that is the kind of th:ng
that ocensionn lly both~rs me with
u Kempis. Ac­tually,
I hnve
to go nmong
men, not to
mention the
fact t hut in
my position I
also have to
go out among
women. I go to
alumnae meet­ings,
to IFCA
meetings, to Fathtr Shannon
C3r.a Conferences. I go w Mis­sion
dance•, Sodality meetings
and St. Patrick's Day parties. I
nlso visit my !1'icnds once in a
while. Honestly, I hate to think
that each lime I return home, l
am a little Ieos a man. 1 hate to
think that people are whispering
behind my bock: "There goes
father Shannon. llnve you no­ticed
how he'• been failing late­ly?
His humanity 8eems to be
slipping away. tie has been go­ing
among people, you know."
Personally, I rather like men,
being one my•el/, and there are
times when I enjoy going among
them; and there nrc times when
I think it does me good. Under­stand,
or course, thnt there are
some men l wouldn't core to
spend six month~ on a deset·t
island with: but, generally sr>enk­ing,
I am quite fond of the spe­cies
homo sapien!\. I'm not really
sure what kind of people T. a K.
is speaking about. After all, I
don't usually associate with mur­derers
or horae-thieves or gang­sters.
\Vhen t sco among men,
generally I'm going among God's
holy people.
At least that is the way the
Church refers to her members.
Take the prayer thnt follows
l'ight aftct· the consecration of
~----·-·-·-·-·-·
the Mass: " Wherefore, we,
servant.a, as also Thy holy peop
... offer to Thee thia lmmocu
HosL . ." The words "we
servants" mean the priest and
a ltar boy; the words "Thy ho
people" mean the rest of the .,..
grcgation. Perha ps it would 1141.
be inappropriate lot· the cong..,
galion once in tt while to stand 1;
at the part oC the Mass, stkt
out their chests with pride aoi
say joyfully, if ungrammatieallr
"That's usl We are God's hoi;
people!"
The point 1 am trying to malt
is this. We know that human "
lure is capable or a good deal~
evil. We have only to look ;.;
our own souls to realize that. B:t'
we are also, because of what Got
has made us, capable of gm'~
good. We arc members of Chrisll
Mystical Body. lu that Body.,.
live a SllllCt'nnturo l liCe tlti:
unites us to Christ and to •
another. As men1bors ot the 111,.
tical Body, living the life of suo 1
tifying graee, we n1-c, in essa <
at least, saints. I would be ~
first to admit that w~ often eli. (
look like oaints (whatever it
that a saint is oupposed to t
like) or act like aainu. But • •
long as we manage to presm ;
in us this divine life of grace a k
keep trying to live that lif•, 1 L
cannot miss eventually ending• q
in the company of the blessed \
heaven. V
We ought to reali•e more t111
we do this dignity of ours u
take joy in it. We ought to thi• b
that way more often about othe tl
too. Thus iC we ore going to vii t
the Murphys Cor dinner lonigll t
I don't think that we sho 1J
worry: "Well, I suppose I sht •
come home tonight less n m:t~~ p
We might be better off iC B
thought: "Maybe, T. a K. S
the contrary notwithstanding, IT •
come home a better man for hl1 hi
ing visited them." u
I wonder. Perhaps T. n K. j01 I
didn't choose the right people a o

Alaska Achieves Statehood
Not quit.e unexpectedly, yet overwhelmingly came the dynamic news
from the Capitol in Washington that Congreu had at last approved
statehood for Alaska, and that this territory, subject to a territorial
s rc!erendum, would soon be formally <1dmitted to the Union as the
49th sUite. Victory came through a bipartisan drive in both the House
nnd the Senate atte.r forty-two years ol steady 11nd undaunted work
• by mllny friends of this giant northern tel'l'itot·y who car•;~d on
t' de•pite repeated !t·ustrations, defeats, and delays In Congress. Fmally,
e these obstacles suddenly disappeared, and now the Alaskans can clatm
e the distinction of being the forty-ninth s tate to have entry into the
Union. This is the first territory to be admitted since 1912, when New
Mexico and Arizona were admitted as the Corty-•eventh and forty­"
eighth states.
It wu Vitus Bering, a Dane
~ working for Ruuia's Peter the
e Great, who first discovered and
explored the peninsula and islands
1
of Alaska In 1740. Bering died on
a l'l!tum trip and was buried off
Y the coast of Siberia, but his crew­
·t m~n brought buck to St. Peters­
·- burg, Curt which delighted the
;, ladies of the court and thus, a
k v;goroug fur t•·adc began.
d The flrsl white settlement was
mude on Kodiak Island in 1784,
y ttnd fifteen years later, with the
organi,ation of the Russian·
Amerienn Fur Company~ a flour­•-
ishing trade and missionary ~ol-
,f icy was adopted in the reg1on.
.o The Russians began to cruelly
at abuse and enslave the native
d Aleuts and Tiingits, 3nd then in
11
one of the most obscure uprisings
's in history, the natives massacred
·e great numbera of the white set­•
t tiers before the •·cbellion was put
1e down.
By 1867, the Inhospitable eli­:-
male led to serious financial difti­:
e eultlcs and the !ur animals had
te been hunted nnd trapped almost
't out. ot existence. It was at t.bi~
is time that the initial step was
·k taken which was to culminate in
1s •llt•hood Cor Alaska in 1958. This
��e was the pul'l!hase of Alaska,
•d known as Russian Ameriea~ from
•e the Czar& by the Administration
1p of President Andrew Johnson.
United States Secretary of State
William Seward, thinking the
purchl\SC would bolster the pres·
tige of the Pt·esident, pushed the
bill thl'ough Congress, negotiated
the deal nntlngrecd to pay Russia
the outlnndlsh sum of $7,200,000.
1t wu Sewnrd's dt·eam of the
U. S. expnnsion to the entire

Medium For Lay Apostolate
Today in Catholicism there is a wonderful movement not known in
medieval days: the lay ll1>0stolate, a participation of the laity in the
mission of the clergy. Many organizations carry out this pnt-tlcipation
in different ways: the Sodality prays its daily duties ond works to
improve the existing environment; the Legion of Mnt'Y !ulAII~ duties
assigned by the pnstor; t he Grail sets out to foreign lands to inst•·ucl
the Ignorant there; Cntholic Theatre places the good play before the
public eye.
When the Catholic University o! America in Washington and the
Blacklriar Guild Illustrated that a good Catholic play can be int~r­esting
and exciting, all over Amerira, including RO<'hester, enthusiastic
groups picked up the Idea. First
centered in St. Helen's parish hall
in Greece, Rochester's original
Catholic Theatre nucleus grew
and established ita ability. Now
they have their own the:tt re, Holy
Redeemer Auditorium, on the cor ..
ner of Clifford :tnd Hudson.
As an organization, Catholic
Theatre is dedicntcd to ~he l'rop•­gation
o! the Faith, to the s pread­ing
of Catholic doctrine and
ideals through the medium o! the
theatre. One ot the primary nims
of each member Is personnl sanc­tification.
Catholic Theatre is a
prayer. To these actors a show is
not just a t5how; it is a prayer,
an offering to God. They have
eombined Gree.k crf'ative genius,
Roman audience appeal, !Unai&·
sance zeal. and the Church's high
morals !or a motivating cause.
Ordinary amateur play& are !or
fun ; the Catholic playA are for
instruction and instn11ution or
truth in the hearts o.C both nctor
and audience.
The Catholic actor~· zMI hn•
resulted in high stondnrds of play
selection, csusting, direction and
staging. Each play always aolvu
the problems that it raiaea in lh~
light of our philosophy without
giving scandal in the proc•••· The
past record, evidenced In •uch

Variety
When the fir11t issue of the Gleaner appeared carrying the notice
that the October num her would include an account of the st.1te and
local election platiorms, the editor was met with several comments to
the effect that such articles were of little or no interest to the student
body as a whole. I! this wel·e an isolated incident it could be passed
over without comment, but, unfortunately, it is only one in a series
oi similar incidents. For some time now, there has been concern over
the intellectual activity oi the students, and yet worse, the attitude
prevalent towat·d such activity. We all realize the necessity of master ­ing
the subjects which we are studying, but a college education should
provide more than a memorized knowledge of the work of the
Pl~iade, or the vocal organs, or the history of ancient Greece. Every­thing
in which we take part, from knitting cable stitches, to a success­ful
finesse at bridge, develops us as mature individuals. Most import­ant
in contemporary society, however, is a thorough and accurate
knowledge of events and trends in the world around us, beyond the
college gates. Granted, we sometimes haven't the time to read a daily
newspape•· from cover to cover, but the intention and the effort
should be there. Tb.is thought was b1·ought out in an October Student
Hour. The realization that we are men,bers of a community, state,
nation, and world will perfect us as individuals. Each one of us, as
college students, should be able to discuss intelligently topics beyond
the marital difficulties of Eddie and Debbie, hula hoops, and ginger
ale as opposed to coke as a mixer.
Multiplicity
Once again the American lack of sympathy with and understanding
o! her native literary contributions has been remarked, by an author
whose allegiance is to the Crown and t he Union Jack. It is embat-ras­siug
to dis.cover how the bewailing of our lack of culture by our own
educatot·s has been so enthusiastically endorsed by observers from
abroad. C. P. Snow in his New St.atcsman makes the statement that
his countrymen are by far the better audience for the man of letters.
He cites the fact that it is not necessarily the ivory-towered scholar
who l'ea.ds; mel\ who hold offices in Parliament keep up with not only
their foreign policy but also contemporary literature, while in Amet·ica
who comprises the audience is anybody1s guess. Other authors, he
suggest-,.
At·e we sti ll the coonskin-cap and rifte bearers, t•ather than the
people interested not only in the latest scientific development but in
the fine urts as well? There is no Tenson why Amet·ieam; should see
only the narrow strip of road before them which is their own field of
interes t, and ignore ~he scenery to right and left of all the new, and
the not so new, things of beauty which are the lasting joys. lfow
tl'agic if we should wind up a one-idea-t-o-a-customer nation!

Sweeping the scale, from the

animal, Sister Christine Frnncis
introduces freshmen to the bio­logical

hikes in the f a ll; dissecting sprees
in the winter, where one probes
int.o hearts, eyes and even bruins
of animals, are the highpoints of
the year.
Not only docs Sister Christine
introduce students to the wonders
of nature, but she also iutt·oduces
them to the friendly spirit of

Golden Anniversary As Pries
Sunday, October 2'7, 1957 was a cold, misty day in Rochester, I
it was a happy day for tbe twelve thousand people who gathered

bration was the prelude of due praises for the outstanding deeds

and still seems quite impossible to reitern~e the endless number

Coming originally from a small town in Iowa, Bishop Kearn
ett rly desired to become a pt·iest, a wish fulfilled in New York City
September 17, 1908, when he was ordained ill St. Patrick's Cathedr
E"ollowing ordination, Bishop Kearney remained for sevet·al Y"'
around New York City, serving as assistant pastor of St. Cecili.
Church there and also as Superintendent of Catholic Schools in t
Bronx. He was professor of apologetics at Our Lady of Good Cou~
College in White Plains and in 1928 established St.. f'rancis Xavi
parish in the Bronx.
In 1932, Bishop Kearney wns sent to Salt Lake City, Utah, whi
he remained Wltil 1937 when he became the fifth BishO() of n~hos~
Familiar to many is the figu t'e of our Bishop walking down Et
Avenue toward the Chancery in the Columbus Civic Cente1-. As it~
been said, he is "a nutn singled out for his devotion to his God~
eountry and his fellow·man." Bis hop Kearney is recognized not o
as a great Church leader, but also as an a.:tive participant in
porting all types of civic endeavo•·s-Community Chest proj
Catholic Charities, the armed forces, and even scouting p.-ogr<tms.
One needs not search fa1· to discover the efforts and accompli
ments made by Bishop Kearney in the twenty-one years he has b
in Rochestel'. The ll.llcient motto of St. Benedict seems fitting ~

a~d with the la~or has come the fmitful harvest of many mo•·e Ca~
ohcs, more par•shes, schools and pnests fo,. the Re>ehester Di4
Among his most gratifying experiences, :Bishop Kearney incll
the opening of St. John f'isher College in 1951, of the new N aza
College in 1941, of the new St. Andrews Prepa.-atory Seminary
1950, and the construction of McQuaid Jesuit High and St. A
High School.
Bishop Kearney's foremost ambition was to teach and this h
account for his never-tiring interest in t he Catholic education of
Diocese's youth. He once said, ''It you get three things-t·eli ·
reverence, and tefi.ncment inl)tilled in a boy or girl, you have a fr
model of Christian life." The educational advances that have Ill!
made since 1937 are truly n tribute to the zerulous and dedicated id~>.
of our Bishop.
l.,oved by all, Bishop Kearney is especially dear to the heart
every Nazareth College gi.-1. He is the devoted Fathe1· of l~
"Naza1·eth family." Every school year is opened by Bishop Kearn:
with the Mass of the Holy Spirit and 'vith his inspiring words ~
another happy and blessed college year. Each activity at N>tzarct
Freshman lnvestitut·e, Glee Club Concerts, the Christmas celebrati
St. Patrick's Day Party-is made mo•·c perfect by his warm, schola
words assuring Nazareth of his interest and deep concern.
He is our beloved !1·iend, out protector, our Bishop. Re is the bridr

Youth Week Presents Challenge
The eighth annual observance
of Catholic Youth W eck will be
celebrated this yeat· from October
26-November 2. The purpose c!
this event is to display the faith
and resources of all Catholic
young people, including, of com·se,
those not in Catholic schools.
The theme of this year's Cath­olic
Youth Week is "Youth, Space,
and Sanctity." The great chal­lenge
of today's world is the con­quest
of outer space. The Youth
Week theme was chosen to ditect
the attention of young people to
their apostolic responsibilities in
this scientific era, and to empha·
size the fact that the most im­portant
tbing in this life is still
eternal salvation. The wotld of
one's self and the world of pre­judice,
poverty, and sin around
us remain to be conquered.
Catholic Youth W cek appro­p!
·iately begins on the Feast o!
Christ the King. 1'his is also the
fifth annual Catholic Youth Com­munion
Sunday. The National
Council of Catholic Youth invites
us all to participate by receiving
Holy Communion on that day 1
honor of the Jmmacualte Heartd

Congregation Follows
Founding Traditions
The Reformation with ita religious wars left France in u religious
and economic turmoil. Misery and ruin were prevalent throughout the
country as was seen in the numbers of parentless children, sick, nged,
and poor walking the devastated streets.
In the smaU town or Le Puy in Velay, France there was a member
or the Society of Jesus, Rev. Jean-Paul Mednille, who sought an
nnswer to these problems. Ele persuaded n group of y~ung women to
conoccratc themselves to God through the service of His children.
They we•·e formally addo·essed ns a religious commm·ity on October
16, !GGO, by the :Right Rl'v J·hnri dr MtHlJlA~. 'RiRMf'l of J.p Puy.
friend nnd disciple of St.. Vincent de Paul. He placed them under the
protection of St. Joseph and ordered that they be <ailed the Con­gregation
of the Sisters of St. Jo~~eph.
As the Congregation grew,
••ather Medaille gave them rules
for their guidance which were
borrowed mainly from the rules
of St. Ignatius.
In l 655 ~he Congregation was
"PIII"ovcd by Bishop Ao·mand de
B6thunc and the first establish·
menta of this newly formed order
were confirmed by Louis XIV.
During the next years tbe
numbers of young women in­creased
and they opened convents
throughout Europe. The reign ol
terror in France caused the dis·
btlnding of the Sisters. After the
Fr<>nch Revolution the Rev.
Mother St. John Pontbonne began
to I'CUII!!emble her dispeo•sed COm·
munity. 1n 1807 the Sisteo-s were
again a religious Congregation.
Their first Motberhou~~e was
founded at Lyons under the au­thority
or Mother St. John.
The demand lor Sisters was in·
creasing as rapidly as the mem-bers
of the Community. Requests
for convents were mode from all
parts of the world. Then In l83G
the Most Rev. Joseph Rosati,
Bishop of St. Louis, asked the
Si>ters to come to the United
States. Thus, six Sisters were
sent to Carondelet, lfissouri, the
first foundation of the Sisters of
St. Josepb in America.
fo'l'om Missouri the Sisters went
out to nil parts of the United
Stutes. A small band established
themselves in Canandaigua at the
request or Bishop Timon or Buf­falo
in 1847. From there they
went to Buffalo. Then from the
Buffalo diocese a group of Sisters
came to Rochester in 1864 to ca...,
Cor soldiers' orphans at St. Mary"t
Asylum. Their work was turned
toward the education or children
by Bishop McQuaid o! Rochester,
an uo·dcnt educator. The Sisters
began to take charge or many
schools and now teach in go·ades
ranging from k in de r gar ten
through college. Their chief work
ih the Roehrst.er area is tea(hing
but they also care !or the sick
and orphaned children.
~'or over three hundred years
these Sisters hn ve been seen
throughout the world serving
their Muster through the lowly
service of His children. Muy St.
Joseph look down with fuvor upon
his Shining Stars.
