My dear friends of ST. Aloysius
parish:
1T is with more than a passing in
terest that I offer you my heartiest
congratulations on the completion of
this remarkable campaign. You have
| finished a noble task in procuring the
| necessary means for the erection of
the new parochial school, which will
stand as lasting memorial to your
zeal and generosity. The cause of
Catholic education in Washington has
been materially furthered by your eff
forts, and you may be sure that God
Will not fail to reward you for the
work You have done SO well for Him.
Your pastor and leader in this task
| has reason to feel proud of your
achievement. Where others have
failed you have gained signal vic
tory. When others might have been
diSmayed you manifested a constant
faith in your undertaking and a
laudable spirit of perseverance.
I'm truth, you have furnished 70
the city and the country striking
example of the value of unity in any
great work. Your purpose was one,
your efforts were put forth as one.
and your success was not the result
of individual effort, but Of one united
body. You have proved the truth Of
the saying that when the bishop. the
priest and the people stand together,
nothing can prevent the success Of
the issue.
You have acted as members of
this great triple alliance with God
as your guide. He has had great
part in this work, and He will, l am
sure, bestow MAN. blessings upon you
for what you have accomplished for
His greater glory and for the cause
of Catholic education"
