Growth OF The
Press

This week we received the 1860 Directory of
Catholic newspapers and magazines In the United
States and Canada.
n GROWTH of the Catholic Press was never
more clearly shown than IN the summary given by the
directory.
Some of the statistics might prove interesting to
our readers.
First the audience for whom Catholic publica-
tions aim primarily.
AS OF JANUARY of this year there were 408
million Catholics in the United States. This figure is
made more meaningful by the fact that the Catholic
population is the fastest growing segment OF the ma
tlonal family.
Over 300 of all children born in the United
States during the last five years were baptized Ca
tholics. Add to this that over 82 million children,
Young men and women are enrolled in our Catholic
educational systems. We can see too why over 5000
separate Catholic institutions of all types are needed to
serve the eVer-lncreasing number OF Catholics.
NEEDLESS TO ADD. the Catholic Press also
tries to interest a great number of our non-Cathollc
neighhors and friends in the message Of the Church
and its application to the purpose of life. This year
particularly, Catholic publications should have great
appeal here.
In our country there are 113 Diocesan newspapers
with a circulation OF 2.697037.
THERE ARE TWO national newspapers. THE
REGISTER which has a national edition and 81 dl-
ocesan editions and u SUNDAY VISITOR which
supplements It's national issue with 10 diocesan ed
tions. These two chain publications total l,704,461 IN
circulation.
There are 10 Foreign language newspapers print
ed under Catholic auspices with a circulation OF Zl2.
099. In Canada there is one national newspaper and
10 weekly newspapers bringing the grand total of
Catholic newspapers in North America to l42 with
a circulation Of 4, 770,368.
. tt HIS 73 Catholic magazines of all types
viii a circulation of -, APO 263 and we can list a grand
total of 615 Catholic publications in North America
with a circulation of u, 910,631.
coNTRAsTED to the grand total, THE CATHOLIC
TIMES circulation of over 26 900 seems rather small,
But we are heartened nonetheleSS by our contribution
to the Catholic Press which has been made possible ny

Sister vi. Cratia, O.S.F.

This time of the year members Of religious com
munities are often transferred from one post TO an
other. =
Sister Gratia. of the Sisters of st. Francis of PEN
ance and Christian Charity, had worked so long at the
Shrine Of st. Therese she doubtless did not expect a
change. But changed she was from an earthly appoint
ment TO a heavenly one when death came to her on
August eight after a comparatively short stay IN the
hospital.
SISTER GRATlA, who was ~sacristan at our Dl
ncesan Retreat House for almost 19 years, was well
known to all our priests and hundreds OF lay people.
Her rotund figure and pleasant countenance always
seemed part OF the surroundings at the Shrine. she was
most accommodating when she served In the dining
room and through the years came TO know many re"
treatantS by name.
AS her funeral Mass was offered a week ago yes
terday in the presence Of the Bishop, a number of
priests, Sisters. and lay people, one could not help
meditating on the full life she led.
I'M REALITY the scope of her ife was very limit
ed. But SO many people came to the Shrine she must
have found her work interesting. She proved once
again that serving God in the simple things of life can
have great meaning if done out Of true love for HIM
and His children.
Even as Sisters 90. Sister Gratia was not in the
public eye. But this unaffected nun who pledged her
life 10 God at her profession in 1919 contributed more
TO her brothers and sisters IN Christ than many a we'll
known priest or religious.
THE REASOk for her success in making our
Faith meaningful to herself and others lies IN the same
acceptance Of Gods will and dedication of self which
characterized the life of Our Lady who summed 1t all
up in the Magnificent:
my soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit re-
loices in God my Savior:
Because he has regarded the lowIinsss of his
handmade" and HE who Is mighty has done great
things for me, and holy is his name"

This was good news to Ade-

His goal of unity is not a
vague thing but definite-He
would like to achieve a Unit

Here was de Gaulle taking a

at the chance to talk over the
subject with him.
