In his speech His Grace announced that the crusade for the family Rosary would begin next Sunday with the reading of his Pastoral Letter at all Masses and the organisation of the crusade within the parishes. Father Peyton would be coming next month, and would direct the final rally on Sunday, December 20, said His Grace.

Note: Kindly have the Crusade Prayer recited after all Masses, and insert in the daily Mass the prayer from the Mass of the Most Holy Rosary as an "oratio imperata pro re gravi," for the duration of the Crusade. It would be wise also to give wide distribution to "The Record" Family Rosary Supplements, which may be obtained in quantity from "The Record" office.
