~HE DIVINE BABE that lay in the manger at Bethlehem outstretched His infant Arms to embrace all people of all ages- the foreshadowing of the same Arms extended on the Cross. The Christ Child is God, and God is love, and that love ex- cludes no one. This joyful Feast of Christmas then lovingly invites mankind to come unto Him, to find in Him more abundant life and · peace for the soul. Without Christ, Christmas has no meaning. Even the noisy tu- mult of paganism, the rumble of passion and the din of selfish cares, cannot stifle the note of joy that rings across the centuries, clear and triumphant, proclaiming anew "glory to God in the highest and peace on earth to men of good will". Above the babel of t_ongues and the confusion among the nations, a message of blessed ~ope, jubilant, un- mistakable, sounds throughout the world-"This day is born unto us a Saviour who is Christ the Lord". A brilliant star shines over hill and vale-"This is the victory that overcometh the world-our Faith"- for he has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light-the light of redemption, the Word made flesh. The story of the birth of Jesus Christ, like beauty and truth, is ever ancient and ever new. As children-and it seems but yesterday- we gathered round the Crib and gazed with wonder and sympathy, and love crept into our young hearts to be intensified with the passing years in a deeper understanding of the truth that "God so loved the world as to give His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him may not perish but may have life everlasting. For God sent not His Son into the world to judge the world but that the world may be saved by Him." (St. John III, 3,16,17). Christmas then is a feast of love and light and life. The Living God sends His Living Son born of a living mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. He made us His sons by adoption as He was the Son of God by nature. He endows our hearts with the life of His spirit and then comes to dwell in them-"and of His Kingdom there shall be no end." The coming of Jesus Christ to the world marked by the solemn observance of Christmas includes His life and death which, in turn, provides the temporal and eternal welfare of us all. Rejoice then in Christmas. May it mean for everyone a lively Faith and Hope and Love for Jesus Christ. CHARLES FRANCIS BUDDY, Bishop of San Diego.

The program announced by His Excellwcy contains twelve points. Funds are needed: 1. To found a diocesan Home for the aged. 2. To establish a Hotel for working girls. 3. To enlarge the Orphanage at Banning so that congestion there may be relieved and t h e homeless children of the Diocese suitably housed. 4. To build homes for Cate- chists and Sisters who give reli- gious instruction to thousands of our Catholic children in public schoals. 5. To improve the living condi- tions of priests in our many poor missions and parishes. 6. To reclaim the children in the Diocese so far lost to the faith. For this purpose, additional religious tea-chers must be found and supported. 7. To construct a tubercular Sanitarium in Corona for patients of mode~te means. 8. To provide and support Chaplains for the County Hospi- tals in the Diocese . so that t h e sick and dying may have easy acces~, to all the comforts of re- ligion. 9. To promote a recreational program for the poor children and urchins of the streets a n d alleys. 10. To provide the Bishop with a home which need has so far been met by means of a loan. 11. To provide a Chancery of- fice and quarters for the Diocesan Curia in St. Joseph's hall, ar- ranged thus far with borrowed money. 12. To reduce parochial debts. One-fourth of the amount col- lected in each parish will be used to reduce its debt. Designated gifts, however, must be · employed for the purpose specified by the donors. People j,re free to donate for any one or more of the needs aforementioned.

A Home for the aged, a Sani- tarium for tubercular patients, ad- ditional accommodations for or- phans, reduction of parochial debts, convents for Catechists- are amongst the needs for which His Excellency, the Most Rev. Charles F. Buddy, will endeavor to find funds in a Campaign to be conducted throughout the Dio- cese next month. It is estimated that this pro- gram of development will not ex- ceed $200,000 in cost, and this amount His Excellency bas fixed as the Campaign's quota. Every cent contributed will be used for the purposes of the drive. There will be no professional pro- ·moters, no paid agents or solici- tors. The Campaign will be con- ducted J:>y the Bishop, his priests and. the diocesan lay committee for Catholic Action. One man has ah'eady agreed to defray all of the expenses inci- dent to the Campaign-the sal- aries of secretaries and stenogra- ph<'rs, postage, printing, circulars, etc. - 4-, :ina.11cial Drive will be pre.- ceded by a Spiritual Campaign of Prayers, Masses and Holy Com- munions, to invoke the blessing and assistance of Almighty God. The people of the Diocese and es- pecially the children will be asked to offer their spiritual activiti':ls for the success of the work. Pledges payable over a period of two years will be accepted.

BROCHURE GIVES NATURL VALUE PURPOSE OF PAIIC[ BY THE EDITOR Another milestone of proi;ress in the diocesan-wide movement to meet the needs and to solve the problems of this newly-erected See of San Diego was reached to- day when the Most Rev. Charles F. Buddy gave the last fine touches to the work of organiza- tion. A brochure, explanatory of the scope, nature and purposes of the financial campaign, is off the press and together with a per- sonal letter from the Most Rev. Bishop will be mailed early next week to every Catholic home in the Diocese. A radio program has also been , arranged for the evening of S*n- da.y, March 6, the important fya- tures of which are brief talks in seven languages by the Bishop and his selected committee of priests. The brochure throws into bold relief the motives which impel His Excellency to conduct at this time a diocesan campaign. One by one, it sets forth the nePd'l and nr"b- lems of the new Diocese and, with their solution in view, issues an irresistible appeal for the cooper- ation and ,support of its members, both lay and clerical. It tells the urgent importance of the Bishop's 12 point program. It is, in fine, an expression of the Chief Shepherd's characteristic determination and desire to care especially for the ·homeless, the aged, the indigent, and the little ones of h1s flock. WARNING GIVEN Beware of, racketeers who may try to enrich themselves at the expense of the unwary during the financial campaign. Such victimization occurred re- cently in other diocesan drives. Pastors are asked to warn their congregations at all of the Masses next Sunday that the Bishop's accredited solicitors will present letters signed by their respective pastors. With- out these letters, solicitors are to be ignored unless they are personally known to the people. The drive proper will not be launched until Monday, March 14.

•

The radio program to publi- cize the diocesan campaign will be held over K.G.B. Sunday, March G from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m. The program, which will be car- ried over Station KGB this Sun- day, 8:30-9:00 p.m., will highlight an address by the Most Rev. Bishop. Brief talks will ba given by the Very Rev. Laurence Forris- tal in Portuguese; by the Rev. Father Fortier in French; by the Rev. Francis Woodcutter in Ger- man; by the Rev. Damian Oobeo, A.R., in Spanish; by the Rev. Vito Pilolla in Italian; and by the Rev. 1 James P. O'Shea in Filipino. The Rt. Rev. John M. Hegarty, V.O., is Chairman of this program, and will introduce the speakers. St. Joseph's and St. John's choirs will present vocal and musical selec- tions. This week, also, pledge cards were prepared and will be sent to the Reverend Pastors of the Dia- l cese for use by their solicitors in the campaign. The deadline for essays written by the children of grammar and high schools have been postponed to this Friday, when all of these essays must be in the hands of the Very Reverend Deans. Next Sunday the Pastors of the Diocese Will exchange pulpits for the first time, in an effort to awaken the interest and gain the support of all the people for the cause at stake. A novena of prayers and special devotions will also be opened next Sunday in all of the churches of the Diocese to beseech Almighty God to bless and prosper our work. The novena will be closed Monday, March 14. The final appeal for the people's wholehearted and enthusiastic support will be made by the Rev- erend Pastors Sunday, March 13, at; all of the l',1:asses in all of the churches in the Diocese. Thus educated as to the nature, ex.tent, value and purposes of tne carr;tpa1gn, the people will be given .111 \)pportunity to jom w.. b .i.,~ Bish~P and his priests in this holy effort to upbuild the new Diocese of San Diego when the clerical and lay committees in every par- ish will visit their homes and so- licit their financial support. For this work which will be launched Monday, March 14, a period of three weeks-until Monday, April 4-has been designated by His Ex- cellency. . •.------
