Dear Father Quinn: We are receiving inquiries from various sources in the matter of the International Eucharistic Congress to be held in Dublin. It will expedite matters if we have a Diocesan Director of the Eucharistic Congress tours. I hereby appoint you as our official representative, and all matters relating to the Congress will be hereafter referred to you. A pilgrimage to the Congress is now being organized by the Fathers of the Society of St. Columban, Nebraska.
