the important event in Catholic circles.
A high mass was celebrated at 8
o'clock, attended by the school children
and many other members of the con-
gregation The Junior Choir rendered
the music of the Requiem.
Pope Benedict" Father McGuigan
said in a brief serman, SIS quoted by
the secular press to have said shortly
before his death, / would willingly
give my life to restore peace in the
world He can truly be called a war
victim for he devoted himself durin
all the years OF his pontificate to bring
about understanding and peace in the
world. He strove to get hearing for
christian charity and justice amid the
din of battle and amid the hatred and
greed that followed in the wake of
World War !
