WILL RAISE FUND
Catholics of Milwaukee Diocese Have

Catholics of Milwaukee Diocese Have
Been Requested to Raise $1,000
The Milwaukee diocese has been as
sessed $2.700 to defray the expenses of
building the new residence occupied by
the apostolic delegate at Washington
d. c., says the Catholic Citizen. Arch
bishop Messmer has ordered a collection
taken up for this purpose on Sunday
Oct. 4, In a circular letter to Che
clergy ordering the collection the arch
bishop says:
"When the archbishops of the United
States, at the request Of the holy see.
decided to build becoming residence
for the apolostolic delegation at Wash
ington, D. c., the archdiocese of Mil
waukee was assessed in the sum OF
$2,700. At that time I did not care to
call for the money, but advanced part
of it from other sources. But I ann
bound to refund that money and I ana
forced to appeal to our congregations To
furnish the sum demanded. Hence, you
are ordered, by these presents, to an
nounce in your church or churches g
special collection to be taken up at all
the masses on Sunday, Oct. 4, towards
paying our assessment. Kindly remind
the people that this is matter alike
Of duty and of honor. Should the sum
total of the collection amount to mora
than what is required, the surplus viii
be devoted to diocesan purposes.
