The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1962-05-11
BY JOSE MoNTo

The relentless war of
attrition being waged by
the Castro regime against
the Catholic Church in
Cuba has brought about
ever greater unity among
the Catholics themselves.
The custer Of the foreign
clergy and many Cuban
priests has reduced the total
number of priests in Cuba
from over 700 to a scant 1913.
But Mass attendance has
risen by 20 per cent, even
though there are many
churches where the Holy Sac
rifice can no longer be offer
ed every Sunday.
At the same time, there
have been substantial in
creases in the number of per-
sons receiving the Sacra-
ments of Baptism, Confirma-
ton and Marriage.
PARISH WORK is continu-
ing. But the organizational
framework of the lay apostle
late is practically destroyed.
The priests still in Cuba fol-
low faithfully the norms set
by the bishops, and the bish-
ops in their integrity and de-
votion are exemplary.
The Red-controlled press of
Cuba seeks to hide the up
surge of religion. 1t distorts
the picture in general and in
particular tries to convey the
impression that the clergy
and the Catholic lay leaders
are abandoning the country.
Early last year, the regime
was championing two or three
priests who were outspoken
supporters of its every move.
Today these priests keep 81

From late 1859 onward, the
Church in Cuba has been
subjected to increasingly vir-
ulent verbal attacks. In 1860
Fidel Castro himself was be-
rating the foreign-born cler-
gy as fascist" and telling
Spanish priests and religious
there was no place for them
in Cuba. The Church and the
Catholic religion became open
prey.
LATE IN MARCH of 1861,
Castro declared that the minds

proceeding with new faeiEI-
ties for Aquinas.
The Dominican Fathers
have carefully weighed these
factors and with much re-
greet have made this decision
through fhe Provincial and
his Council. We hope that
the work we have done at
Aquinss will be remembered
and that our many friends
will continue TO hold Us in
high regard.
Aquinas was founded in
September, 1905 under the
title of Saint Patrick's Col

Bishop James ]. Hartley.

Jefferson, and g building be-
gun to provide six class
room with a large hall and
a residence for teachers.
This building, which still
stands, was completed in
January, 1905 and opened
for classes in February, 6.
AS THE first classroom
building could accommodate
only $50 students, an addi-
ton was constructed in 1911
which included four class
rooms, a laboratory and a
dormitory for boarding stu
dents.
In December, 1911, the
charter was filed for the new
institution and the name
Aquinas college was chosen.
The enrolment kept in
creasing and reached 236 by
1918. A new building was
erected in 1925 south of the
original edifice. 1t was dedi-
Gated in November and in
cluded a gymnasium and
many extra classrooms.
At the beginning of World
War II over 400 boys were
attending Aquinas. By 1916
it was almost 600 and stay

most of the next 10 years. At
the present time there are
423 students enrolled. Faith

Elks Burial
Fund ToBe
Challenged

NEW YORK - The ElkS'
Burial Fund, benevolent fea-
ture of the fraternal order, is
being challenged by a group of
former Elk local leaders here.
The group has organized a
fraternal rights committee
with the expressed intention of
film a court action to put the
fund out of existence in the
state.
According to Joseph Hon
ore, former grand lodge dis
trict deputy for New York, ap-
proximately $50 Elks, made up
largely of former officials,
hae agreed to seek an injunc-
tion to block collection of mon
ey for the burial fund in this
state.
Mr.. Honore maintained that
the burial fund was established
at the grand lodge convention
here in 1861 in a hurry-up
drive which did not permit
time for the plan to be studied
thoroughly by local delegates.
He declared that the fund
was an established fact before
some New Workers came to the
conclusion that it conflicted
with state insurance laws. Re-
placed as district deputy by
John H. Lewis in October, Mr..
Honore said that during a
meeting at Henry Lincoln
johnson here recently, q num-
Der Of former Elk leaders ex-
pressed desire to eliminate the
fund.
