"The seamen need your prayers very urgently. "On account of the nature of his work, a seaman can very easily lose contact with his Church. "On most Sundays he is at sel...with no opportunity of attending Mass. "When he is in port, more often than not he is working during the normal Mass hours. "Where there are full time chaplains, Masses are held at times convenient for the seamen but this is only in two ports on the whole of the Australian coast."

AN ALL-NIGHT VIGIL OF PRAYER will be held at the Sacred Heart Church, Highgate, on the night of the Feast of the Sacred Heart, June 9, in association with the Forty Hours Devotion and the annual observance of the Patronal Feast of the parish. NEW TO THE ARCHDIOCESE
The All -Night Vigil of Prayer is a devotion which great shrines and places of pilgrimage throughout the world, notably Lourdes and Fatima, Knock and St. Patrick's Purgatory at Lough Derg in Ireland. It envisages not the hour -by -hour roster of watchers to which we have been accustomed on occasions like Holy Thursday night, but a complete night of watching prayer by the pilgrims attending. In this it is a devotion which is new to the Archdiocese, and which, as will be readily seen, makes considerable demand on the generosity, and willingness to undergo undoubted hardships of those wishing to participate. At the first public All -Night Vigil of Prayer held in Australia, at St. Patrick's, Church Hill, Sydney, earlier this year, five hundred and fifty pilgrims attended from all over New South Wales, many travelling long distances to be present, and remained through' the entire night. A second Vigil is being planned for St. Mary's Cathedral, Sydney, for the eve of the Feast of the Precious Blood (July 1), which is expected to attract an even larger attendance. is to be found at many of the
THE PURPOSE The purpose of the All -Night Vigil might be summed up as Prayer. Reparation to the Sacred Heart, and Penance, in the spirit in which Our Blessed Lady has so frequently asked for it. The principal intentions, to which, of course, the pilgrims may add their own private intentions, are: 1. The conversion of Russia and of Communists everywhere. 2. The Persecuted Church, so aptly called the Church of Silence. 3. Christian Unity. 4. The success of the forthcoming Second Vatican Council of the Church.

Two short recreational breaks will be taken These are intended for during the night. Pilgrims should come exercise and food. provided with whatever they consider necessary by way of hot drinks and food. The parish hall will be available to the pilgrims for use during the recreational periods. Confessions will be heard at regular intervals throughout the night. The Vigil will end with Holy Mass at 5.30 a.m.
His Lordship Bishop Rafferty, Parish Priest of Highgate, who is sponsoring this All -Night Vigil, and who hopes that the devotion will spread to many of the parishes of the Archdiocese, wishes to emphasise thAt the All -Night Vigil is not a "parochial" affair reserved to the parishioners of Highgate. It is intended to provide an opportunity for Prayer, Reparation and Penance for generous souls everywhere, who are prepared to endure the loss of sleep, and other inconveniences, associated with the devotion. While all those who are prepared to spend some time in prayer will, of course, be very welcome, it is hoped that most -pilgrims will come with the intention of staying all night, thereby adding to the value of their prayers the very efficacious element of penance and self-sacrifice which is at the "heart" of the All -Night Vigil of Prayer Devotion.
