ANNUAL COLLECTIO
FOR THE
Seminary of St. Charles
» Feast of St. Charles,
November the 4th, 1922.
Rev. and dear Father: — 7
t all the Masses on the Sundays of Novenbe
annual collection for St. Charles’ Seminary,
It had been feared that last year’s Seminary collection would fall off because of unemployment
and hard times. But, on the contrary, it was the largest in the history of the diocese. Our Reverend
Clergy and devoted people made a special effort to surpass even their previous achievement:
when the result was known, surprise and pleasure pervaded the diocese. > -
Please to make known to your congregation the deep gratitude of their Archbishop, and thank
them in his name.
im former appeals for the Seminary, the supernatural nature of the priesthood has been dwelt
e priest has been portrayed as a sharer in the Gverlasting priesthood of Jesus Christ; as the
representative of our Redeemer in the sacrifice of the perpetuates the sacrifice of the
OSs 5, as i & co-worker with God in the saving of souls; a aiepense ser of divine mysteries; the ambas-
sador channel of graces; the light of the world, and the salt of the earth. With these
rede of om ‘bly priesthood will be vested sl the end of ti
But even from a human ‘standpoint, the priesthood i is viorthe ‘of the veneration and praise of the
world; -for it has been the wellspring of modern social culture, learning, science, arts, statecraft and
civilization.
T 12th and 19th please tqyannounce and urge the
roo}
it was the priesthood that uprooted i in ancient Europe idolatry, superstition and the worship of
he vilest passions. By preaching the fa‘erhood of God and the brotherhood of man, it broke down,
litle by little, the degradation of slavery and lifted up woman from debasement. When the Roman
pire fell and the barbarians of the north laid waste with fire and sword the civilization of the. past,
what would fave become of all those nations, which border on the Mediterranean Sea, had it not been
for the priesthood of the Catholic Church? It transformed the smoking mass of ruins into the various
nations of modern times; it saved the classics of antiquity; it preserved Roman law and jurisprudence;
and it sanctified labor: . for it was the priests of holy Church, who cleared away the primeval forests,
introduced drainage and irrigation, built roads and bridges, and founded most of the present towns
and cities of Europe.
It was a priest, St. Patrick, who brought the light to Ireland;
tine, who civilized England; and still another priest, St. Boniface, who converted the Germai
priesthood raised the standard of morality by inculca’ cating the laws of the Decalogue; by promulgating’
love of God and love of neighbor; -and by preachizg purity in both married and unmarried life.
single priest, St. Vincent de Paul, did more for the poor and the sick than cities and states combined
More effectively than the law of prohibition backed by State force, Father Matthew diffused the spirit
of temperance and of abstinence from intoxicating drink.
Nearly all the great universities of Europe, like Oxford and Cambridge, Salamanca, Paris, Pavia
and Bologna, were founded by priests;..and, in the Middle Ages, priests were almost the only patrons
and promoters of education, sehether i in colleges or in country schools. The Friar, Roger Bacon, was
the forerunner of modern scientisss Copernicus, a Canon of the Cathedral Church of Thorn, was the
founder of modern astronomy; and Cardinal Baronius is regarded as the father of modern historical
|, criticism. Popes, bishops and priests have been the Patrons of painting, sculpture and architecture,
as well as of polite literature.
In a word, had it not been for the priesthood of the Catholic Church, Europe today would be a
gloomy ‘forest infested with warring savages.
modern world is drifting back to paganism; od if it is to be saved from destruction, it will
be through the priesthood.
Wherever faith is strong. there is a love of the sriesthood. This explains the interest of our
people in their Seminary of St. Charles Borromeo, at Overbrook. Even the poorest are glad to con-
tribute to its support, in order that they may have a share in its work. For whosoever helps to edu-
cate a young Levite for the holy priesthood will partake in the fruits of his future ministry.
's year we have two hundred and eighty-seven seminarians at Overbrook; four at Washington;
four at Mt. St. Mary's; four a at Orchard Lake; and seven at Rome, making a total of three hundred
and six.
it was ‘another priest, St. Augus-
The chief improvement at the Seminary during the last twelve months consists in a new sidewalk
beginning with Lancaster Ave., stretching along City Line to Wynnewood Ave., and continuing as far
wman Ave., on the west: a work which was ordered by the authorities of ‘Monty gomery County.
There were also various repairs, alterations and betterments i in the Seminary buildings; so that the out
lay of money has amounted to a large sum.
The price of labor, material, and provisions is still high; and if we are to meet expenses we ve shal
have to look to the wonted generosity of our people and to the zeal of our priests.
Every parish takes pride in its collection for the Seminary. We are confident that no parish will
wish to fall back from its last year’s contribution; but that; on the contrary, priests and people will
strain every nerve to exceed it. We look especially to our beloved brethren of the clergy for this
result; we shall be grateful to them for the sacrifices that they will make and for the zeal which they
will display.
SPIRITUAL- BENEFITS. .
You will please remind your people of the following spiritual benefits to be gained by all those
who take part in the seminary collect
1. Mass to be celebrated suily “tor the living and deceased benefactors.
2. The Rosary to be recited every Sunday for the same purpose.
_ 3. ‘All the students will offer Holy Communion for the benefactors on the first Sunday of Lent
and on the Sunday within the Octave of St. Charles Borromeo, whose feast occurs on the 4th of
November
A Solemn Requiem Mass will be celebrated for all the deceased benefactors during the
octave of a) Saints.
. special Mass for the living and deceased members of the devoted band of the seminary’s
best benefactors, the solicitors, will be celebrated during the Octave of All Saint:
In conclusion, we thank you again for what you have hitherto done for the s seminary and praying
God to bless you and your faithful congregation, remain,
Orr, Charles
Very affectionately yours,
