Bishop Eugene’s pastoral letter looked at the various ways in which the faith in post-Revolutionary France had become strong once again. He also showed how the zeal of the missionaries overflowed out of France to bring the Gospel to other countries and continents. He concludes his reflection by pointing out that everyone in his diocese is involved in supporting this missionary outreach.<\/h3>\n

However, the work of the missionary is not his work alone, the average layman and woman are involved in it, the poor day laborer as well as the rich, the young child as well as the older man, all contribute to it with equal merit.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

The Society for the Propagation of the Faith came into existence in France to make the work of the foreign missionaries possible through financial support.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0This association is growing wonderfully under the blessing of Heaven which inspired it. From France, where it began, it is spreading farther and farther, it already includes many countries in its ranks, and by collecting the weekly contribution from the good will of its members, it raises the money which supports the immense work of this glorious army of apostles, which advances every day to conquer the world. The ever-growing cooperation of the people in a work of such immense charity, in the truly apostolic work of the “Propagation of the Faith”, can only have the happiest of results.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n
