Director' The Catholic Sun of Syracuse, gan of the Syracuse diocese, carries this week a photograph of the Rev. John J. McCreary, for years assistant pastor at St.

Paul's church, this city, with accompanying discussion of his plans "for the propagation of the faith throughout the diocese of all in accordance with directions from the Rt. Rev. Daniel J. Curley, bishop of the diocese. Father McCreary, who has been named "Rev.

Director," is planning to visit each parish church at all the masses on a Sunday convent for each pastor and will then discuss the subject with the worshippers. The Catholic Sun says: "The Church of Christ is primarily a society for the propagation of the Faith. The first commission given It by its Divine Founder was 'to teach all Hence the work dearest the heart of Christ must ever be the spread of His gospel or the propagation of the faith. "In every age of Christianity men and women have received special vocations to leave and family and friends and journey to foreign lands. where strange customs and a different language from their own was spoken, that they might bring the light of Christ's gospel to those who "sit darkness and in the shadow of death." The following of such a calling needs wonderful courage and great self-sacrifice.

The deeds of these heroic men and women have been the high lights upon the history that recount the Parowtf of Christianity. Leaders such as these were the bearers of the gospel message to our forefathers, no matter from what country we claim origin. For it was the stranger from afar that first taught the ancestors of our race the sweet truths of God's religion. So we are under obligation for our faith to these propagators of other days. "Sometimes we think that all the heroes of religion have long since passed away.

So many centuries have our people enjoyed the fruits of Christianity that we have come to consider ourselves almost as old as the Church herself. Because we have not been brought face to face with missionary activities, we know little of the work being done in far places for faith. We are forgetful, too, of our obligation to give our treasure even as has been given to us. "To bring this need home to us, the Holy Father has caused be organized in every diocese the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. It is his earnest desire that every Catholic should be enrolled in its membership.
