THE LOGO

The grey letters stand for the worldwide fraternal society which is subordinate to the Catholic Faith and the content of all publications. The content - the Faith and the - is more important than the fraternal society. The logo becomes more easily readable due to the difference in grey tones.

The black letters stand for the organization itself.

The design seeks to express something of the organization’s core values, showing ourselves fully “in the light”.

by Father Joseph Duhr SJ

Published for the first time in Eng- lish (translated from the French by Peadar Walsh), this book (327 pages) is a must-read for all par- ents and educators who want to understand the essential role they must play as God’s co-operators in the education of children.

In this first volume (of two). Father Duhr begins by laying out the goal of education, which is to gradually form the child physically, intellectually and morally, teaching him to master his instincts and passions, so that he will one day be capable of leading himself. Ultimately, it is to establish God as Master and King in this soul created by Him for His Greater Glory and destined to find its perfection and happiness in possessing Him.

Having laid the foundations, Father then describes the family environment which is favorable to the blossoming of the child. Finally, he looks at authority, its origin and purpose, and how to use it in order to bring the child to be what God wants him to be.

Father Joseph Duhr (1885-1961) was a Jesuit from Wormeldingen, Luxem- bourg, who spent most of his adult life in Mumbai, India, where he was teacher, Principal and Rector at the prestigious Jesuit-run Saint Xavier’s College.

47 THE LOGO

The grey letters stand for the worldwide fraternal society which is subordinate to the Catholic Faith and the content of all publications. The content - the Faith and the patron saint - is more important than the fraternal society. The logo becomes more easily readable due to the difference in grey tones.

The black letters stand for the organization itself. The Society of St. Pius X is an international priestly society of life The design seeks to express something without vows, whose purpose is the priesthood and that which pertains to it. of the organization’s core values, showing ourselves fully “in the light”. Since its foundation by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1970, the Society has formed priests according to the immemorial teachings of the . By offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the traditional Latin rite and administering the sacraments according to the traditional rites in vigour in 1962 (before the Second Vatican Council 1962-5), the Society’s priests perpetuate what the Church has taught and done throughout its history. By the exercise of the teaching office of its priests, the Society fights against the errors that presently afflict the Church.
