Although this appeal comes shortly after your very gener ous response to the collection for European refugees, we are sure that you will want to do something in honor of your Heav enly Mother on Mother’s Day, and we feel confident that you will again put your state and your diocese out in front by your generous contribution to this collection. We should average a dollar from each person who is working. The Diocese of Raleigh was especially dedicated to Mary Immaculate on December 8, 1945, and we hope for “all things through Mary," who has already been so generous to the work of the Church here. We know that on May llth, Mother’s Day, each Catholic in the diocese who can will receive Holy Com munion, and, by making a real sacrifice to help erect this beau tiful shrine, will honor his Heavenly Mother in an especial way. By making a contribution to honor Mary, your Mother, you are making the best possible use of the goods God has given you, which it will be impossible to take with you at death. As the Irish say, May God and Mary bless you for your gen erosity. Sincerely yours in Christ, Most Reverend Vincent S. Waters, Bishop of Raleigh. - ■ ___,______.___i_ When Gen.
