Catholic Recruits for America

A PRESS despatch reports the visit to the Pope of the students of the American College at Rome. We quote two paragraphs:—
“The Pope was pleasantly surprised when he learned that this year the students number 160, representing nearly all the dioceses of the United States. He admired their smart appearance, and congratulated Bishop Kennedy on having a fine set of young men, who promise great work in the Catholic Church in America.”
“Not only has the American College this year the greatest number of students in its history, but it surpasses in number all the other English-speaking colleges put together—the English, Irish, Scotch, and Canadian.”
This training of students in Rome is a part of the program to make of America the first Catholic nation in the world.
