PRESIDENTS REPORT

‘rho President's report was as follows:

Your Excellency. Madam Numn‘ g1 president, oflicers and niernbfiro of the Catholic Womens‘ League?

Another year has come to a close

making the 12th in the history o! the Charlottetown sub-Division- o. w. L., and it is my duty as your President to present a. 199°" 9° ‘you outlining the activities of the year. v- Nothing spectacular has been M- coirvpllshed, nor has our work been zdone to the accomDBIll-lllelll? °l iz-public applause. but we have gone "on slowly and surely and “P” “P ihe standard of previous years.

At your last annual meeting Y0" zhonguped me by reelection, and the jcfficient executive you Elli/e m‘? made my work comilllmlilvfill’ light- _ Early in May the K. of C. spon- Zsored o, moving picture. and we

{were glad to assist in selling tick- gcts, for we are deeply indebted to lithe Council for their great gener- ‘ooity in giving us the use of their .rooms for our many activities. It would-be practically impossible l0 lconduct so many lines o? Work '5 without their oo-opcrstlon. and ll is with a deep and heartfelt sin- :cerity that we tender them our fgrateful thanks and ask God to EDIOSS them individually and as an Organization.

In the same month we Wcrc happy to send a lovely boquet ac- companied by a letter of congrat- ulation to Ricv. Mother Superior

qlind the Notre Dame Alumnae, up-

on the 75th anniversary of the founding of that wonderful instit- ution, which has done so much good for the girls of the Province.

In June I had the prlvlleze of representing you at tho National Convention held in Toronto, a Pill!- lleze which I greatly appreciated.

Georgetown, Vernon River. Ibrt Augustus, St. Theresa and Sum- merside were organized by mem. hers of this Sub-Division, while Indian River and Tlgnish Juniors were organized from Summerside and Alberton respectively. several other parishes are ready for the league and in the Spring we hope to do more along these lines.

On Remembrance Day a, Requiem Mass was celebrated in the Basilica at our reqeust for those who lost their lives in the Great War.

Ollc oi’ our most important

foranches is the St. zite, club, A;

You know, its membership consists °1 Klrla from other parts who are living out at homes in the city. We endeavor, not only to provide e, maetlns place roi- them. but by personal contact to become their friends and advisers. Early in the year Miss Mona Wilson of the Red Cross gave them a very inter. 953mg course on home nursing, care of children and home making. This was greatly enjoyed, and the Practical knowledge gained has been used to good advantage in sev- eral reported instances.

The girls meet every Thursday evening in the x. of c. Hall and conduct regular meetings in a very efllcient manner. A short program l! but on bringing out a. surprising amount of talent. At Christmas they had a‘ ‘beautifully decorated tree, adorned with presents for everyone, which were distributed by a real live Santa Claus. with funds which they raised at Card Dllrtlcs and from membership fees, they were able to help member-g in distress. A basketball team he, been formed by one group; another group is rehearsing a, short plgy, while others are interested in sew. lng. V_

You can easily see the advantage 0! Bl-lch e Club; of the invaluable Bld. l0 l! l0 lonely girls, for hgq-g they ‘become acquainted with other girls, and in the League find wo- men who are interested in their problems, and help them in their needs. ’

RBV- llllallsianor McDonald was the beloved Chaplain for many years and his departure was a dis- tinct loss Rev. Chas. McCarthy has been appointed in his place, and is doing much to keep up the same interest in the club.

The Collegiate Club is another lllilloftllllt branch functioning und- er the supervision of the League, and a detail report of this will be given by the Convener of Edu- cation.

A great dcal of time is devoted w these two Cluts, but it is time well spent and we give it gladly and wil- lingly, for we are amply repaid by the happiness and benefit it brings into the lives of others.

Convenors reports will tell ‘you of other work accomplished, so it is not necessary to speak of it here.

We continue to contribute to Na- tional Works, Scholarship and Sis- ters of Service. For the benefit of new members I would like to speak briefly on the work of the latter body.

During Inhibition week we serv- ccl hot meals in the Holy Name Club for three days. The proozcds $421.00.‘ Ind about $25 worth of 800d! were given to the Sacred Heart Home. This .m0l'l€i’ l5 101' the debt on the building and not for maintenance.

In January we served a hOt turkey dinner in the Holy Name Club, which was very successful l-and netted a. large amount. We are grateful to the merchants of ‘the City, and the Parishioners of the Bullion. and Holy Redeemer Church for the generous donations '|nd patronage on these occasions- __ In September the Diocesan Con-

~conduct hostels for overseas girls,

meet boats at the ports of entry and assist Catholic Immigrants.

In ‘Ibronto a settlemen house is maintained. Over 7,000 children in isolated districts are receiving Catechetical instruction. These les- sons are sent out in seventeen dil- ferent languages. Small districts are visited during the summer and children prepared for the Sacra- ments. Last year a Mission Van in charge cf two Sisters operated in Vancouver Island. Approximately 27,000 beds and 80.000 meals were supplied last year at the different hostels. I

This is just a brief summary of the work of the Sisters of Service, but I know it will be of great in- terest to our members who are helping by their contributions to finance the great Missionary Order.

From thousands of souls arises the cry for Spiritual aid» Let us widen our vision and deem it e privilege as well as a duty to assist this foremost of league endeavors.

Just before Lent we had the hon- our oi entertaining at csrM and s inusicele in the K. of C. Hall for members of the Corpus Christi Choir and their friends. We were happy to show; even in this smell

for we realize the extent of the

sacrifices made by these ladies and gentlemen in carrying on their work.

Plans are under way for a reor. ganization of a Girl Guide Unit, and ‘we hope to see this soon ac. eompllshed.

All our l“ and I‘ “ l oh- ligations have been fulfilled; all our bills paid; a donation sent to the stricken area o! Regina Diocese and, as your Convener will report, the 1932 subscription of $200.00 to the social service, as well as $125 already paid on this year's quota.

We celebrated the Feast of our Patron Lady of Good Counsel by having a High Mass sung.

Masses were offered during the year for deceased mcmibc and relatives of members. -

Our hearts were saddened when a short time ago we learned that °1"‘ Clllillllllill. Rev. Monsgr. M¢_ Donald was leaving Charlottetown. Father Maurice had been our friend and adviser in this Sub-Division 1°!‘ twelve Yell-XS. and although we realize that it is to his advan- lllse to relinquish the burdens that “We hi5.

During the year we have hem eleven executive, eleven regular, four special and two joint meetings.

Before closing _I wish to extend the heartfelt gratitude of this Sub- Division to His Eircellency, Rev. J. A. 0‘Sullivan and Rev. Monsgr.

SOCIAL SERVICE REPORT

Madam President and members: I beg to submit the following report: Since October this commit tcc assisted by members has been meeting once a week at the City Hospital to make new clothe and repair old clothing for the poor, and in this way is a direct help to the Social Service Department at the Hospital. Forty-five yards of shaker ilan- nel were donated by members and 229 articles of clothing were made and repaired, including many layettcs. Our members have been active in soliciting clothing from their friends, and in this way a large quantity has been received for the poor. Six’ members held bridge parties in their homes to augment the funds. Our pledge of $200 for 1932 has been paid and $135 towards 1033 quota. Since the inauguration of the Social Service Dept. in connection with the City Hospital we are re- lieved of much of the work of for- mer years. and our only duty now is to help with the finances and pre- pare clothing for distribution. Before closing wc ivlsh lo con- gratiilaie the City Hospital on work accomplished by the Social Service Branch, and to iii-go our people to become more and “lQTCi interested in it and to give it the simport it richly deserves.
