OCTOBER
The month of the Rosary
The month of October gives us an opportunity to renew
our devotion to Immaculate Mary. Mother of God. Praying
the Rosary together as a family is especially pleasing to Her.
Saying it privately is a powerful, beneficial act of devotion.
Here at the Shop we can supply a Rosary to meet almost
any requirement. Prices start as low as
Rosary, and you can also obtain exquisite
Sterling Silver and Rock Crystal.
October is also an ideal time to begin
spiritual reading program. Important books of today and
yesterday are here for your inspection. They can help make
October an important month for you.

Among the leaders, too. is a large
group of former Protestants and

Last Easter, when the Colum

only about 70 people signed up
for catechism class. Six months
later, the numbers had swelled
to 500 and are still increasing.
Fr. Brady's catechists calculate
that when the harvest work in
this rural area is completed there
will be upwards of 1,000 seeking
instruction.
“These poor people on Cheju

Babies Wanted
KYOTO, Japan—Maryknoll
Missioners have come up with
an idea which they hope will
help combat the rising tide of
abortions here—a Baby Con
test.
Sponsored by the local
churches, the contest would
stress the health and care of
babies. The Maryknollers plan
to be silent spectators, leaving
the contest decisions up to a
select group of judges com
posed of local doctors and
nurses.
A Letter From A Missionary
I hate to admit to you how long I have had an envelope addressed to you on my desk but with
the press of work here on the missions have not been able to get at much letter writing. Right now
I just finished baptizing 14 adults in a beautiful ceremony in our "Warehouse Church" and I am so
overjoyed with it that I did want to toll you a bit about the wonderful harvest of souls wo face here
in Korea.
I am now assistant pastor here in a city of 100,000 people of which 2,300 are Catholic*. The
pe*tor wa* ordained at Maryknoll in 1953 and he it the most shining example of priestly character
and apostolic zeal you would ever want to find anywhere. He has the Legion of Mary started here
in the Province of Ch'ung Puk To and we have two Praesidia right here in th« parish.
It is through the Legion of Mary that so much is being done in the line of convert-making,
far this year we have had over 150 adult baptism* and we hope to have another 50 by the end of
year. Really and truly it is most profound to see the way God is bringing the people right into
Church.
We have about 30 men and women, spread from the ages of 18 to 50 doing systematic home
visits on a broad level. The most fruitful work Is that of home to home visitations, and hospital
visitation, (we have two government hospitals

Over 800 adults and children are under

sacrifices to get her studying in for Korean women must work about 19 or 20 hours a day.
She was thrilled when Father told her on the final examination that she was acceptable. Toors
wore rolling down her cheeks this evening when I gave her the lighted candle.
We have at present three paid catechists who handle a very large part of the doctrine instruc
tions. At the present time we can hire these marvelous people to spend 8 and 10 hours a day in do
ing the various phases of apostolic work and we pay them about $25 (U.S. equivalent) a month, which
to them is a just and fair salary over here.
We could use so many more, for we hpye 12 mission stations which have from 15 to 250 Chris*
tions already and with a catechist in each place wo could get hundreds of converts in these stations
in a few years. But, you know so well the problems of finances. Moanwhile we leave those things
in God's hands.
I am finding the wonderful altar linens very useful. They have been bury at work since I
landed here and we could use so much more. If you will keep us in mind for vestments or any kind
of altar linens we would be so grateful.
But I want you, more than anything to get people to pray for the missions. Prayers of the good
people "back home" is the only explanation for the fact that we have an average of a couple of adults
a day showing interest in the church, many of them spontaneously coming up to the door asking
if they can take instructions.
The latest one is a locel newspaper man, who with his wife and five children are all under
instructions. You will never know what we do but we see the marvelous results all along, but those
who pray for the missions and make sacrifices, are they not the special chose of our Lord whom He
referred to when He said "Blessed are they who have not see yet have believed.
With this letter goes a promise of continued prayers for you and all who help you in any way
to further your work of the PROPAGATION OF THE FAITH. May the richest rewards be yours.
You are the heroes, not us, for if you over came here, Father and saw for yourself what wonders
God is working you would never want to return. May your prayers and the prayers of all you con
tact bring blessings to the Church, to the foreign missions, and the grace of vocation to boys-and girls
and men and women who will give their lives to furthur the work of God in the Diocese of Columbus
and in the foreign missions.
