CATHOLIC DIRECTORY ' M OF INDIA, rAXLSTArt, B uRm a * tfb C £ Yl a- tf< 1922 72nd ANNUAL ISSUE OF THE MADRAS CATHOLIC DIRECTORY AND ANNUAL GENERAL REGISTER PUBLISHED BY THE CATHOLIC SUPPLY SOCIETY, MADRAS. PRINTED AT THE “ GOOD PASTOR ” PRESS, BROADWAY, MADRAS, M T +Z / , 7 1 Nihil obstet : J. BEUKERS, Censor Deputatus. Imprimatur : * J. AELEN, Archiepiscopus Madraspatanus. Madras, die 21a mensis Decembris, 1921. PREFACE Another year has been added to the cen turies buried in the past, another year has been ushered in by joyful hymns. It is the old, old story. On the threshold of the new year we always resolve to spend the ensuing one better in the light we gained during the preceding twelve months. It is the old, old story. The 1921 edition of the Catholic Directory of India, Burma and Ceylon was far from complete, and the respective Chancellarles seeing this resolved no doubt that 1922 would see a copy unheard of for accuracy even in the life of this useful publication. All the ’ reports came in. Not one point—if we except Statistics—for the Compiler to complain about. To all and every one our best thanks. Y et there is in the present issue one omis sion which we regret. Three times we wrote asking for a photo and a brief sketch of the ^ new Vicar Apostolic of Trichur, and we were disappointed not to receive either in time for insertion. The notes inserted will be appreciated by all our readers. The contributors are heartily thanked for these sketches. It may be recorded that the Compiler is grateful for any useful suggestion. One should take it for granted that he is interested in this publication, and, therefore, that he welcomes letters which counsel a wise departure from the lines adopted, or the introduction of new items. Not every suggestion, however, is use ful. A correspondent thinks that every phase of Catholic life or its activities should find a home in the Directory, putting forward the plea that it is a Catholic Directory. A complete list of Catholic residents of India, Burma and Ceylon with their addresses might be very useful to those engaged in raising money by raffles, but it is out of place in our publication. Those who do not agree with us on this point are referred to the English or American Directories. May 1923 see a still better—the present edition might be improved—copy of the Catholic Directory is the earnest wish of THE COMPILER.
