ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY
The quarterly communion of this
most worthy society took place in the
Holy Name of Mary Church last Sun
day. 1t is a laudable custom with
this society to have all the conferences
meet at different churches every three
months for a general communion and
meeting. This time it fell to the lot
of Algiers to entertain these men and
as usual, Algiers did itself proud. A
large number of men of the parish
Joined the other parishes, and the re-
suit was that the church was simply
packed with men at the I O'Clock
mass, and every one of these went to
communion. Ii was, indeed, an edi-
flying spectacle. After the mass a
breakfast was served at the convent,
after which the business meeting was
held at the II. n. G. C. Hall.
The St. Vincent de Paul Society is
Il oho fol on is
unique in so far as there is not one
man who receives remuneration for
his work. Men and women belonging
to this organization turn into charity
every cent that is given to them.

the individuals, which consists in nu-
merous general cOmmuniOns, spiritual
lectures by local chaplains and extra

tunity offers itself.
Conferences are established in
hpearly every parish in the United
States.
