WASHINGTON, March fist.
Patrick's day, coming on Sunday,
was celebrated in ST Patrick's church
today with high pontificaI mass by
Mgr Satolli and a sermon by Rev.
Father Richards, president of the
Georgetown college, on the world
wide work wrought by st. Patrick
and the Irish race. Mgr. Satolli was
assisted in the service by Father
Rocker, Sbaretti and a large num-
Der of local Catholic clergy. His
celebration of the mass was accom-
panied by orchestra, choir and Or
gan.
President Richards sermon was
notable in portraying the Irish race
as Gods chosen people of modern
times, as the Jews had been the
chosen people of the old dispersal
ton, and also in it's eloquent tribute
of loyalty to the pope and his Ameri-
can delegate, Mgr. Satolli. Referring
to the growing influence of the Irish
the world over, Father Richards
said that mighty empire, far vaster
than the Roman power the empire
OF the English-speaking people, was
growing up and overshadowing the
world. A grasping, relentless, un-
feeling power it is, no doubt, yet in
general just to individuals, much
like that pagan but orderly empire
of old. And now, wherever the En-
glish flag is planted, there the Irish
go with it to plant the faith. Nay,
they outrun their masters. Driven
from home by unjust laws, by OPP
preston, cruelty, poverty and fam
Inc, they penetrate to the remote
quarters of the globe, bearing with
them their priest and their faith.
This Irish immigration was at first
toward the Catholic countries of
Europe, then toward the United
States. At the present time they;
are flowing to South America, where
100000 Irishmen are settled onl the
hills surrounding Buenos Ayers.
They are founding a new world in
Austria, they are powerful in
India, they are invading all the
countries of Europe. European
countries are taking possession of
the Oriental regions, and the ambient
prophecy of Noah is in COURSE of
realization. the. Irish giving back to
the East the. faith it. had rejected.
Father Richards referred to thel dis
tinguishing Characteristic of the
Irish in their unwavering fidelity to
the see of Rome, which equipped
them for their world s mission. Then,
/ addressing Mgr. Satolli, he, said: re-
Venerable prelate, from the moment
that you set foot on these shores the
heart Of the American church babe
you a joyful and respectful welcome.
We are all Of us Irish, all Of lis Ro-
mans in our welcome to thee. When,
therefore, you write to the glorious
pontiff whom you so worthily repre-
sent, say the hearts of his children in
America beat with only one impulse.
loyalty and love for the See of Peter.
In his words, however much the world
| may carp and blame, we know that we
snail ind the purest faith, the most
devoted patriotism. Ask him, then, to
rely upon our obedience and our af-
lection. and implore him to bless,
from his throne of suffering, his chill
dren in these United States, that we,
under Leo, may carry on with high
hearted courage and steadfast truth
the mission entrusted by Celestine to
st. Patrick and the Irish race
The statement had added signifi-
canoe owing to the persistent but
groundless reports that the Jesuit or
der was not in full sympathy with
Mgr. Satolli's mission. President Rich
ards is one of the influential members
OF the order, and Georgetown college
one Of it's leading schools.
