and thFougb The SnCraments of Pensnce
and Holy Communion.
We exhort you, then, dear Reverend
Brethren, to initiate tho zeal of the Good
Shepherd of souls, and seek out these
strsyed sheep of the fold. Visit them;
advise them; use al pastoral diligence in
rescuing them and their distressed
families from this fearfnl curse. We shall
be most happy to give our sanction and
episcopal benediction to every organized
movement which, under your pastoral
direction, will tend TO correct this de-
plorsble evil.
CATHOLIC EDUCATION.
Convinced, dearly. beloved Brethren
that sll our efforts for the correction OF
evil or the diffusion of virtue must prove
we!l-nigh sbortiye when directed to
those whe have not been soiidIy instruct
ed in the principles OF their holy re-
ligion, we beg you most earnestly to lend
sll possible support to the cause OF the
Catholic education. Every lover Of the
Church must deem it one Of mis- most
sacred duties to sustain those schools IN
which, with the acquisition of the neces-
sary secular knowledge, God and His
rights are expressly recognized. Even
these who have no children OF their own
to send to these schools, should contribute
generously to their maintenance; and
the Holy See, In its late instructions, bids
US remind our faithful people of this in
portant obligation. Catholics who des.
pise, or tacitly ignore, the solemn in
structions of Gods Holy Church, hardly
deserve to be numbered among her chill
lr!n.
In conclusion, we solemnly invoke the
blessing of Heaven on your Jealous
labors, venerable Brethren Of the Clergy,
and on the generous cooperation of our
dear children of the laity, in the cause of
religion, the advancement of the inter-
ests of Gods Holy Church, and their own
personal ssnctifca.ion.
The Reverend Clergy will read this
Pastoral to their hocks on the first con-
venient occasion after this reception, and
announce the Lenten regulations which
are herewith subjcined.
Given from our residence, IN the city
of Wheeling, on the seventh day OF Feb
rusry, 1878.
