from the Catholic &ropagator Of this week;
We are authorized to copy the following
gassage from letter of our most reverend

recommending to his grace the establish
ment Of the Good Shepherd. This letter
will be the best recommendation for the
fair, which is to commence next Thursday

independent of the interest which bear
60 all our religious communities, whose ser"
vices appreciate, ! interest myself par
9icularly in our Convent of the Good Shep-
herd, because ] contributed, forty years
@gO. in France, to give this religious order
new organization, which was approved 0y
the Sovereign Pontitf Gregory ANi., and
(which allowed it to found new houses IN
all parts of the Catholic world; therefore, l
consider all the foundation in virtue of this
0ew organization as being the fruit OF
work III which took an active part.
Is In consequence OF this ! am sensibly
erieved to see that our Convent of the Good
Shepherd is not as well known az ii ought
60 be; that it is not appreciated as it
deserves to be, and that it is not supported
Sc had right to hope.
al feel it the more that there seems 90 be
q want of good will, as many persons could
be useful to the institution without incur
ring more expense; as all female work,
sucb az washing and sewing are done there
az well. and on as moderate terms AZ they
can be done elsewhere.
II approve them, ana bless the zeal
which you manifest for this establishment
which is so dear to me, and which is SO
preciouso ,nr17r
