Three "LET THE LITTLE CHILDREN COME TO ME" Father Stephen Paul Hueber A Pioneer in Christian Doctrine Classes For Public School Children Pope Pius XI in his great encycli- cal on Christian Education of Youth, uses, in the very first sentence, those words of Our Lord, "Let the little children come to me," to express his own paternal solicitude for the Christ- ian education of youth. In this en- cyclical he sets forth the motto: "Ca- tholic education in Catholic schools for all the Catholic youth." Unfor- tunately there are many Catholic children who, for various reasons, are hindered from coming to Christ in the Catholic school. Means must be taken to "Let them come to Christ," so that to some extent at least the aim of education in Catholic schools, which is to form Christ in the minds and hearts of the young, might be achieved. As early as the year 1934, Father Stephen Paul Hueber, C. M, began to take just such means on a large scale in St. Vincent's Parish in Chicago, Illinois. This was six years before the establishment of the Diocesan Confraternity of Christian Doctrine in Chicago. In fact, a special study was made of Father Hueber's methods of contact and his manner of con- ducting the classes when the diocesan organization was established. His system has served as a model which has been imitated in many of the parishes of that city. In the autumn of 1934, Father Hue- ber contacted the Superintendent of the Public Schools of Chicago, Wil- liam H. Johnson, and told him of his plans to have Catholic children in public schools released for Catechism instructions. The Superintendent re- sponded favorably to the suggestion and ordered the Principals of the The problem of teachers who would ber of older boys and one of the seven public schools within the limits be interested in the spiritual wel- teachers to accompany the children to of St. Vincent's Parish to permit the fare of these children and competent the doors of the church. children to attend these classes.

The meetings of the Stephen Vin- cent Ryan Unit of the Catholic Stu- dents' Mission Crusade at St. Mary's Seminary have been the scene of ma- ny motions and resolutions connect- ed, some remotely some proximately, with mission activity. In past years, such projects as our Crusade Courses, the Bishop Sheehan Memorial Muse- um, the De Andreis-Rosate Museum have grown as activities of the Ste- phen Vincent Ryan Unit. In articles in the De Andrein in the past few years the beginnings and growths of these activities have been traced. The present article is an attempt to look into the records and bring to lioht the first beginnings of our Mis- sion Unit. Last July marked the twenty-fifth year of the founding of the Catholic Student's Mission Crusade. Out of a meeting in Techny, Illinois, which lasted from July 27 to July 30, 1923, came the plans of an organization which has since spread to schools and seminaries throughout the whole of the United States. The Stephen Vincent Ryan Unit MOST REV. STEPHEN VINCENT RYAN, C. M. really had two beginnings, one in 1922 ten for Stephen Vincent Ryan. The Thomas Murphy acted as chairman. •and one in 1928.

It is interesting to note that the two Families of Our Blessed Father united in their efforts to help out in White Church. Father Brennan, then Pres- ident of the Seminary at Perryville, donated the new kitchen furnishings, which were conveniently installed in an additional room built on to the house by the Perryville Brothers.

May, 1944 Page 3 The Beginning of a Century o Service From the foundation of St. Louis in 1764, until 1840 there was only one par- ish in the city of St. Louis, the Cathe- dral Church, Third and Walnut Street. Besides this, there were two chap- els of ease, St. Aloyisus, under the care of the Jesuit Fathers of St. Louis University, and Holy Trinity Chapel, where the Vincentians began parochial activities in St. Louis in the, year 1838. In 1840 there were about thirty-one thousand people in St. Louis, half of whom were Catholics. From 1840 to 1850 the population of St. Louis in- creased to one hundred thousand. This sudden rise in population was due mostly to immigration from Ireland and Germany. The ever-increasing population brought with it a demand for new churches. The early 1840's saw the erection of five new churches in the city of St. Louis, among which was the Church of St. Vincent De Paul. The Lazarists, through Father John Timon, purchased the entire block bounded by Marion, Decatur (9th), Park Avenue, and Buel (10th) from Benjamin A. Soulard and wife for $12,500.00. It was Father Timon who had pushed forward for so long a time the plan of building the church. In Catholic Cabinet, the religious news- paper founded ard edited by Bishop Kenrick, a news item states: "On the) 17th of March, 1844, Bishop Kenrick laid the cornerstone of a church in Soulard's addition to St. Louis. The edifice will be cruciform in length, in- cluding the portico, 150 feet; breadth in the nave, 60 feet; in the transepts, 80. The truly classical proportions of the plan drawn by Barnett and com- pany will make this building an orna- ment to the city, whilst affording the consolations of religion to a numerous population who are now almost suffo- cated in the crowded temporary chap- el in which they worship.
