More than $50 parish Holy Name
Societies in the Cleveland Catholic
Diocese will conduct a membership
drive from February Goth to March
18th. The campaign is being spon-
sored by the Diocesan Holy Name
Union of which Msgr. Edward j.
Halloran is Diocesan Director.
In letter to the Presidents
Of the individual parish societies,
who will serve as membership
chairmen, Msgr. Halloran said:
'1n a recent address the Holy
Father Pope Plus XII stated that
the time to organize for Christ is
now. | am confident that as lead
ers in your parish you will heed
the warning of our Holy Father
and will bend your every effort to
bring the men of your parish into
the Holy Name Society. The sue
cess of our Drive depends upon
you"
Archbishop Edward F. Hoban
recently expressed his wish that
every Catholic man not now a
member of the Society avail him
self of the opportunity to join. The
Archbishop also encouraged boys
from the seventh grade through
high school age to enroll as Junior
Members of the Society.
The Holy Name Society was es-
tablished in the year 1874 and
since that time its primary objec-
tives have been to give honor and
glory to God and the personal
sanctification of it's members by
acts of devotion to the Most Holy
Name Of Jesus.
There are about 10000 Holy
Name Members in the Diocese of
Cleveland and it is hoped that
10000 new members will be added
during the Diocesan Membership
Campaign.
Miles Moran of 1464 Mars ave.
in Lakewood is President of the
Cleveland Diocesan Holy Union
and Richard w. Asmus of 1923
West 48th st. is Vice-President and
Membership Chairman.
