Dear Reverend Father:

In response to the urgent appeal of Our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII, Pastors and Superiors of Schools and all Institutions in the Diocese of San Diego will provide special devotions during the month of Mary that through her maternal inter- cession peace may be restored to mankind. It is the ardent wish of His Holiness that the Catholic youth of the world lead in this crusade of prayer. In the name then of Christ's Vicar on earth you are directed to implore the faithful of your parish to assist at daily Mass and to receive Holy Communion for this intention. During the aftem on special devotions, includ- ing the recitation of the Rosary, should be held every day for the school children. In the late after- noon or evening, at an hour convenient for the working people, let the recitation of the Rosary be followed by Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Bespeaking your earnest cooperation asd every personal sacrifice during these dark days of world conflict, in union of prayer, Your devoted servant in Christ, Bishop of San Diego I 00 in Confirmation Class At Redlands Parish Sunday At Sc.
