Bishop Monaghan Announces
Receipts Of Diocese for
Church wards

In the Catholic Churches Of the Dio-
cese OF Wilmington yesterday the an
nual report OF the collection for the
Orphans was read showing S6,S42.55
received. The Rt Rev. John J. Mon
Afghan in commenting on the collec-
tion said in a circular letter.
The annual report of the collection
of 1911 for the Orphans OF our Dio-
cese, shows a gratifying and ever in
creasing generosity on the part of our
faithful people in most of the parishes
and is at the same time the best evil
dence of the zeal and devotedness Of
the Reverend Clergy.
In the name Of our good Sisters of
st James Protectory and Of St
Peters Female Orphan Asylum, We
gratefully acknowledge the amounts
received from contributors through
out the diocese, whose names we here
record with pride and satisfaction as
the benefactors Of our orphans, de-
serving Of everlasting remembrance.
They will not be forgotten by our or
phan children, who unite with the
sisters in sending up daily to the
Throne of Mercy their grateful petit
tions for their benefactors, through
whose unfailing generosity our or
! phan homes are maintained and all
the wants of our helpless little ones
are provided for
May these streams Of purest char
! ity ever continue to flow in our be-
| loved diocese as "A proof Of ever abid-
| ing love for Him, who having loved
| His own who were in the world loved
them even until the end. The charity
of Christ urgeth us, says the Apostle,
and in proportion to our appreciation
of His love for us shall our charity be
extended towards the little ones whom
Jesus loves, our homless orphan chill
dren, for He has said AS often as you
did IL to one of these my least brethren
you did II unto me May He reward
abundantly both in this life and in
the life to come, all the contributors
to our Orphans Collection
