My Dear Father Reardon:
I welcome 1.-THE Catholic Bulletin
in the name of the Catholics of the
Diocese of Duluth.
Such a weekly paper, giving the
news of the Archdiocese of st. Paul
and the many Dioceses therein, will
give all itse readers full account of
the growth of the Catholic Church in
the great Northwest.
Apart from it's general Catholic
news, it will give information useful
and interesting to every member of
the family. Such paper is sadly
needed and I warmly recommend it to
every family in the Diocese of Du-
luth.
I am sure that the priests of the
Diocese, who are interested in the
progress and education of their PEG.
pie, will assist in making "The Cath
Ollie Bulletin" great success.
am yours sincerely,
JAMES McGOLRICK,
Bishop of Duluth.
