CATHOLIC SOCIETY ISSUES
REPORT ON MISSIONS HELD

The society Of st. Paul. a Roman
Catholic society which has usually had
at its head a convert from Protestant
ism, has just issued q report on its
missions 70 Catholic and Catholics.
The report covers IS years in time,
and % diOcesrs in the United States
and Canada No fewer than 273 mis-
siOns were held. lasting usually two
weeks each, with some OF them cover
ing periods OF four and six weeks
The report shows two curious things
one is that almost as many converts
from non-CathOlics were secured AZ
missions advertised for Catholics only.
and the other is that more Catholics
whom Paulist priests regarded as not
leading proper lives were reclaimed at
non-Catholic missions than at CathO-
lie ones
estantism, secured by the Paulists dur
The largest numbers were secured dur
when the report says Paulist mission
ers were less well trained than now
Numbers then ran above 400 in num-
bers per year, but since 1906 the num-
Der has not reached a total OF 200 in
any one year On two years the num-
bers fell below Zoe. Since 1910 the
number OF reclaimed Catholics has
nearly equaled the number OF converts
from the Protestants. The Catholic
Missionary union, whose president is
cardinal Farley, and all Of whose
working staff are Paullst priests,
maintains q League OF Prayer for
the conversion Of America to the
Catholic faith.
