Excerpt from The Catholic Sunday School: Some Suggestions on Its Aim, Work, and Management
I have requested Rev. Bernard Feeney to put into print the lectures given by him, during the past year, to the students of the Seminary of St. Paul. I believe that a perusal of those lectures will be of service to the pastor of souls, one of whose chief duties is the instruction of childhood and of youth in the lessons of the Catechism. The lectures, it may be, teach few things that are new; but the old things which they do teach are of such vital importance in the exercise of the pastoral charge that lest, now and then, they slip from memory, or be overlooked in practice, frequent effort should be made to hold them ever in vivid freshness before the mind of the priest, so long as he is left by the Master to his work of teacher and sanctifier of the little ones of the flock. Olden things, too, may be made new in being adapted to new needs and new circumstances. And this is what happens in the present instance. Father Feeney speaks for our age and for the special circumstances attending the work of the priest in our country. His lectures are eminently practical; and this is no small merit in a treatise on Catechetics.
