HELP!!!	The Archdiocese began a campaign for vocations recently. It will extend into the Fall. Posters in the Church and school will remind us. What can we do? Pray and encourage.

For information please call Father Luke or Father Luis at 914-968-1340.
OUR LADY OF LOURDES	The shrine of Lourdes in France is celebrating its 150th anniversary. The Pope recently went to Lourdes on a pilgrimage. Since most of us won't be going there, the Vatican extended to churches outside France that are connected to Lourdes a special plenary indulgence. In our area the Church of Notre Dame (114th St. & Morningside Drive) is the church. The church has a special shrine to Our Lady of Lourdes. For info please call 212-866-1500.

Quill of the Transport Workers Union; Patrick Scanlan, anti-communist editor of the Brooklyn Tablet; and New York's Jesuit labor priests with James T.
