LA sALETTE BULLETIN
Of Especial Interest to Members of
 St. James Parish.

Many of the members of St. James parish received on Thursday a copy of The Bulletin of the Missionaries of La Salette. who have charge of the spiritual needs of the Catholics of Danielson. This periodical is of the magazine type. and while the current issue is the first to be printed in this country, it has been published in the French language for fifty years
 In the foreword the editors write that the publication first saw the light as consequence of the miraculous apparition of the Blessed Virgin on the mountain of La SaIette, in France Having delivered her message. she commissioned the two little shepherds to make 1t known to all the people, and thus the periodical, under the name of The Annals of Our Lady of La Salette," began the propagating work
 When the religious turmoil burst upon France, dispersfng her clergy to the four winds, the shrine of Our Lady of La Salette passed under the care of the secular clergy who continued the publication of ''The Annals"
 Above all, the object of The BulIe- tin is to tell those interested in the work Of the missionary order and their work what they are endeaVoring to do and to speak about the Apostolic school, the object and existence of which is to prepare the recruiting el- ement without which every religious community is doomed to die
 The missionaries of La Salette have been in charge of the affairs of St. James parish for about Is years. which was soon after the first priests of the order sought refuge in this country, they finding a home and sphere of great usefulness in the dio- cese of Hartford under the late Bishop Tierney. Rev. s. c. Socquet was the first La Salette pastor in Danielson, he being succeeded by Rev. J. P. Gui- net and he in turn by the present pas-
  first mentioned pastors were relieved of their parish work to assume places of exalted responsibility in their or der in this country.
 During their administration of the affairs of St. James parish these mis- sionary fathers have strikingly dem onstrated their capabilities of promot- ing the temporal as well as the spirit ual we'll being of their charge The fine parish property on Franklin street including d church, convent and parochial residence, are monuments to their zeal. All have been built within the past ten years. These fathers, with the exception of the pastor and the first assistant, serving without financial recompense. have worked faithfully and well. And they have tering the difficulties of a new tongue, only few of them being familiar with the English language at the outset.
