This is a record ol the milesiones
of our American Catholic
Heritrge durirtg this Bicentennial Era. It
iells *here we came from, what our values
ind rrsditions are and who lnfluenced our
tl.rr.usirts. It also gives us insight into the success
..i our institutions and people. In this age of
.-urmpule rS and computerized knowledge there is apt
tt L,i :r decline in wisdom, and while there has been
l ::enrendous growth in knowledge there has not
been r proporiionate growth in wisdom. People
ieel sigiiiiicant onlf in terms of the area that
orrduid thenr. . Wisdom is close to the heaLth
lnd :o the altlr as Cicercl put it. The history of
1'our parish and of your diocese contribute to our
dnerican Catholic HeLitage. This is where history is
made and historl, is fe1t. . If people perpetuate
rheir historl' with pride and intelligerlce thell the
