“Missionary work has never been easy, and yet the joyful rewards cannot be equaled by any other experience.” (Gordon B. Hinckley)<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Missionary Society for the Propagation of the Faith relied on benefactors and annual collections in the parishes to collect money for the missions. An important part of their fund-raising was as the result of publishing accounts of the missions in their periodical, the Annals, so that benefactors could be involved in the works they were supporting. Eugene regularly sent reports to the Annals.<\/h3>\n

I recently received news from our missions in America. The Fathers chosen for Red River and Hudson Bay left Montreal at the beginning of July. Their journey will take 45 days and they will therefore reach their destination towards the middle of August. However, due to the infrequent communications between those wild zones and the rest of North America we have no positive news of them as yet.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

With regard to the missionaries who evangelized the groups of people along the Canadian border this summer, they have returned from their apostolic tour and are preparing the report on their efforts, which will soon be sent to us. It will be a pleasure for me to send you the most interesting excerpts so you can publish them in the Annals and thus your readers, while finding therein material for their own edification, will also see all the good to which the Associates of the Propagation of the Faith can contribute.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n
