Excerpt from Conferences for Men, Intended in Particular for Holy Name Societies
By the wise and merciful dispensation of Providence one of the oldest societies of the Church, namely, the Holy Name Society, has had a great revival in our times, when there is such urgent need for a body of devout, well-instructed, and zealous Catholic men.
Organization is the watchword of our age, and organizations must be fostered among the Catholic laity, to oppose and defeat the well-organized assaults upon the Church by her enemies. There is particular necessity for the Parish Priest to promote organization for the good of the Faith among the men of his congregation, and this is best accomplished by gathering them into a Holy Name Society, with regular meetings. At meetings of this kind these Conferences have been delivered by the author, and they are now issued in bookform in the hope that they may be of use particularly to Reverend Directors of the Holy Name Society, by suggesting topics and subject-matter for discourses to the members of their societies.
May St. Joseph, the patron of Catholic men, secure, by his intercession, God's blessing upon these humble efforts, so that they may be fruitful for the welfare of souls, and for the greater honor and glory of God.
