Archbishop GIBBONS on PIcSICs,-Thp
following letter has been add e,:el by Arch
bishop Gibbons to the Catholic clergy of this
archdiocese, to be read by them in the
churches tomorrow:
AS the season is approaching when eycur
slons and plcnlcS are usually held, | request
you to call the attention of your congregation
to the statute of the dioce bearing upon this
SUBJECT. Experience has shown that picncS
and excursions are frequent occasion OF
scandal and dissipation, and that even those
which are undertaken under the auspices OF
the church can escape the stigma of license
and dloedibca.ion only by the prudent fore
sight and vigilance OF the pastor. No pecu
mary profits resulting from popular anuse-
scene OF disorder, and need no. add that a
scandal, far from being palliated, is ;gravated
when committed on an occasion of this kind.
In view OF the dangers attending even
those festivities which are undertaken in the
interests of charity and religion, the statutes
OF the diocese require. as you are aware. that
no intoxicating drinks should be sold or used
on the premises, and that the pastors. by their
presence and counsel should contribute to tie
maintenance OF dec0rum and order. Your
congregation should be also admOniSh2d that
excursions and parties held under the manage
ment of Catholic societies have no ecclesiaSti-
cal sanction whatever, unless approved by the
pastor. and subject to the rules already an
nOunced. You will please read this circular
to YOUR cOngrega CATION OH Sunday next with
such remarks as your wisdom may suggest.
