MEN, WOnEN AND EVENTS.
Catholic Home Missions


Beginning August 81 there will be a
three days conference of the Catholic
missionaries of the United States who
work exclusively among non-Catholics
The meetings will be held at Winchester,
Tenn. This movement began with the
Paulists about six years ago and later
many individual priests joined in the
work until it is said that more than
thirty are engaged exclusively in making
converts in parts Of the country where
Catholics are few. The work has had a
marvellous growth since it was initiated
and one of the workers recently stated
that during the past year more than
100 900 converts had been made. One
of the chief promoters of the conference is
the Catholic Missionary Union OF which
Archbishop Corrigan is president.
The Catholic women of St. Louis pro-
pose to raise $4,000 for the erection of
bronze monument in honor of the late
Archbishop Kenrick. Many Protestants,
it is thought, will contribute to the fund
because of their personal admiration for
the prelate. Even if the subscription
should be limited to those whom Arch
bishop Kenrick confirmed at the altar, a
contribution of 25 cents from each would
more than build the monument.
