ADDRESS BY CAPTAIN WILLIAM A. MAGUIRE 
Chaplain, United States Navy 

(May 30, 1943) 

My Friends:. This dreadful war has placed 
millions of blue stars on the ban-
ners of the American family. But 
among those stars are many that 
are gold, and though they tell us a 
story of bereavement and sorrow, 
they remind us of the precious sac-
rifice of the heroes they honor and 
the spirit of tne people who have

tial music, grimly put to sea with 
a course set toward the enemy's 
lair, and with one purpose—to 
fight him wherever they find him. 
This is not a singing war—it is a 
fighting war. During the past 
year, our men and their comrades 
of the United Nations have won 
many hard-earned victories. 

I knew the Pearl Harbor blue-
jacket, for I met him the day he 
came in sports clothes to the gate 
of our Training Station. Then, for 
four years, I served with him in 
ships of the Pacific Fleet, observ-
ing him at drills, in sea maneuvers, 
and on liberty ashore. I greeted 
him on board ship when he came 
to worship God at Holy Mass. His 
heroic performance at Pearl Harbor 
did not surprise me. He joined the 
Navy, fired with the free spirit of 
the American boy, cheerfully ready 
to face a period of mental and 
physical training which changed 
him from a happy-go-lucky imma-
ture lad, into a dependable, effi-
cient, God-fearing man of the sea. 
The change was not a difficult pro-
cess because he had already learned 
in his Christian hofne of the ideals 
of citizenship. He also knew that 
the Navy was not a national in-
strument of aggression but a first 
line of defense of a nation which 
had taught him that it is a God-
given right to be free to live peace-

fully in the pursuit of happiness, 
and that it is a sacred duty to rec-
ognize that our fellow men are en-
titled to that same right. 

It is gratifying to know that it 
is not necessary, in the Nazi and 
Nipponese manner, to brutalize our 
young men in order to fit them to 
fight a ruthless enemy. Those of 
our heroes who have already re-
turned from the scene of battle 
are little changed except for the 
claims of wounds and sickness. 
They may be concerned about con-
ditions on the home-front but 
they feel out there that they and 
their comrades are taking part in 
a modern crusade. Their aim in 
this fight for freedom is to do 
their duty without fear and with-
out reproach. 

We can be thankful for the way 
the American people have answer-
ed the Axis threats to destroy our 
freedom. Every home in the land 
has its representatives doing their 
share of the work to save us from 
ruin. Every home in the land is 
suffering the shock of this war's 
unlimited demands because our 
women, faced as they are with new 
tasks and strange responsibilities, 
are now called upon reluctantly to 
take a more active part in the war 
effort while at the same time they 
must preserve their sanctified place 
of. responsibility in the home— 



ADDRESS BY CHAPLAIN MAGUIRE 5 

which is the center of love and 
beauty and all that is fine. 

The men of our armed forces are 
well equipped to fulfill their mis-
sion and their letters to you tell of 
the thoroughness of their training 
for battle. As never before, our 
military and naval leaders are 
selecting officers and men for 
placement under that training for 
which they are best fitted. For the 
past twelve months I have noticed 
an absence of hurry and nervous-
ness in the way the work is being 
done. The rapid expansion in per-
sonnel and material that marked the 
early days of the war, has given 
way to a steady, cool, and studious 
procedure. Our men receive the 
best of food; they are comfortably 
housed; welfare officers provide 
athletics and other forms of amuse-
ment; doctors and nurses care for 
them in excellent hospitals; in new 
chapels ashore and on the decks of 
our ships at sea, churchmen serve 
in their apostolate the precious 
souls of our fighting men. 

An Admiral, who recently re-
turned from an important com-
mand in the Pacific, lately inspect-
ed one of the chapels which are the 
pride of the Training Station at 
San Diego. Leaving the North 
Chapel, which he greatly admired, 
he said, "A few days ago, before 
sailing for the mainland, the com-

manding officer of an Air Station 
came to me and reported that he 
needed only two things to make the 
Station as he wanted it—a chapel 
and a swimming pool." The Ad-
miral gave me to believe that the 
Air Station commander succeeded 
in obtaining the two important 
means he needed for keeping fit 
for battle the bodies and souls of 
the men of his outpost. 

From the point of view which 
years of naval experience have 
given me, I feel impelled to ask 
you, my friends of the Catholic 
Hour, not to worry about your 
boys. The American sailor or 
marine leads an ordered life; he 
works through a disciplined day; 
he is inspired by ideals and tradi-
tions of an honorable service; his 
spiritual needs are recognized and 
they receive Gareful attention. 
After twenty-six years in the Chap-
lain Corps of the Navy, I have en-
joyed many happy compensations, 
and not the least has been the 
privilege of standing before large 
groups of strong men, to call for 
a volunteer to serve at Holy Mass, 
and to find a husky bosun's, mate 
step up and become again a bash-
ful altar boy. The Mass and the 
Sacraments really matter in the 
life of our soldier, bluejacket, and 
marine. 

When the main body of the 



6 SECOND REPORT TO THE FATHERS AND MOTHERS 

Fleet, a few years ago, was based 
at a port in Southern California, I 
once heard a pastor of a large 
parish tell his congregation that he 
hoped they would take note of the 
many sailors from the Fleet who, 
while still fasting from midnight, 
received Holy Communion at the 
late Masses. He reminded them 
that the .sailors had been out of 
their bunks and hammocks early 
and had probably done a good day's 
work before "hitting the beach." 
He praised the bluejackets for 
their devotion and fidelity, and he 
added that they were setting a 
good example, and hoped his peo-
ple would observe and follow it. To 
serve worthily with the colors, a 
man must have in his make-up a 
high respect for authority and a 
lively respect for himself. 

One of the strange paradoxes of 
this dreadful war is that even 
while men go forth on orders to 
kill, they meet God as they go. 
Perhaps they recall the words of 
our Savior, "Render therefore to 
Caesar the things that are Caes-
ar's; and to God, the things that 
are God's" (Matthew 22:21). 

A few days ago, a bluejacket 
went far out of his way to call on 
me. He is an aviation radioman. 
With orders to fly-that night to, 
Hawaii, he heard that I was on 
duty at the Training Station and 

he came across the bay simply to 
tell me how he and his shipmates 
had appreciated my saying Mass 
for them last year at the Air Sta-
tion on Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. He 
was afraid I would never learn 
how grateful they were for the 
chance to attend the Holy Sacrifice 
and to receive the Sacraments. 

We priests are not worried about 
your boy. You gave him a good 
start when he was young. You 
taught him how to pray and how to 
respect and revere his Church and 
how to live in the way of Christ's 
teaching. You made of him a good 
citizen and a true patriot. 

If you could hear your boy sing 
at Mass the hymns he used to sing 
in his church back home, such 
favorites as, "Mother Dear O Pray 
For Me" and, "Holy God We 
Praise Thy Name," you would have 
less anxiety in your heart, for you 
are greatly responsible for his 
Faith and his strong and good 
character. As evidence of what the 
Church has given your boy, here is 
a quotation from a letter written 
to his parents by a young para-
trooper Marine in the South Pa-
cific: "During the week you seem 
so far away and then during Mass 
on Sunday, I seem to be so close 
to you that when Mass is over, I 
turn around to look at you—to 



ADDRESS BY CH. 

walk home with you." We priests 
are merely taking over the duties 
you so well performed when your 
boy sought comfort and guidance 
from your maternal heart. 

I have spoken of our warriors. 
They are superb. But what of the 
citizen at home? An American 
Cardinal has said, "Of all the gifts 
of heaven to any land, a good citi-
zen is the greatest and the best." 
. . . "God has given to each his 
special sphere, his particular work 
to do; and the work of each, well 
done, fits into the design of the 
whole plan and completes the 
whole. With the individual's work 
undone or feebly done, the whole 
design becomes uneven and sym-
metry is utterly destroyed." 

The fighting man in war depends 
for victory on the ideals in the 
hearts of the workers on the home 
front. Never before have we so bad-
ly needed ideals to motivate the lives 
of those who today live and work 
safely within the continental limits 
of the United States. 

As a nation, war is not our ideal. 
We were not brought up to vaunt 
of battles won or of enemies slain. 
To us, peace is better than mar-
tial glory. But the Church teaches 
us that God is the origin of all au-
thority and law, and that the same 
God Who has said, "Keep My com-

^.PLAIN MAGURIE 7 

mandments," compels by the sanc-
tion of His Own Divine Authority, 
the obedience of men to the civil 
laws of the land. It is the prayer 
of every soldier, sailor, and marine 
that every American at home be 
diligent in his work and loyal to the 
flag of his country. 

To the mothers, wives, and 
sweethearts whose loved ones no 
longer live to bear the brunt of 
battle, may God in His mercy 
lessen the burden of your sorrow. 

To you whose sons, daughters, 
and husband» are still carrying on 
the hard fight, may I again say, 
"Do not worry." Pray for them, 
with full resignation to God's will. 
Write often to them but always 
cheerfully. You have been told this 
before but it is really quite impor-
tant that you show that you also 
are brave by keeping from your 
letters all, trivial troubles of the 
home lest you cause your valiant 
men to worry about you. 

Today we can be thankful for the 
progress we are making, inspired 
by the leadership of our President. 
Last year, in a letter acknowledging 
the support our Catholic Bishops 
were giving his war program, Mr. 
Roosevelt said, "We shall win this 
war and in the victory, we shall 
seek not vengeance but re-estab-
lishment of an international order 



8 SECOND REPORT TO THE FATHERS AND MOTHERS 

in which the spirit of Christ shall 
rule in the hearts of men of all 
nations." 

What better encouragement 
could we seek? Has a nation in 
war ever been inspired with a 

higher motive than to establish in 
the hearts of men the reign of 
Christ the King? 

God grant that our next Me-
morial Day may dawn in the 
glow of triumphant peace.

force of evil are ever present. To 
combat this spiritual enemy the 
chaplains of all faiths are working 
hard, and despite the acute short-
age of chaplains, they are carrying 
on nobly. But we must find a more 
fundamental answer to the pagan-
ism and irreligion of our country, 
that we may be a stronger, more 
virile nation. To the youth of our 
country, to parents with small chil-
dren, to the leaders of civil and 
national life, to the workers in the 
city and on the farm, in war fac-
tories and in the mines, and to all 
Americans: I want to ask you a 

very pointed question—Did you do 
your duty to God today? Did you 
go to church today? 

The sincere return to religion 
and to its principles is the only 
solution. Since religion presup-
poses an attempt to know God, let 
me ask: What are you doing about 
the education and the training of 
youth, that God and His laws may 
be known? Years of godless educa-
tion in America, of that school-
mad era in which the mind was 
trained but the will left out, has 
left its mark on our manhood. 

No American in North Africa 
needs to be reminded that our na-
tion, with our allies, is launched on 
a world crusade for liberty and 
for the freedom of suppressed peo-
ples, for we have seen the awful 

sacrifice necessary to perform this 
gigantic task. The carefully tend-
ed graves of the men who gave 
their lives are the only testimony 
we here need. Americans have died 
in this holy cause, and they will 
have died in vain if we fail to 
learn the greatest lesson of the 
war. We must get down on our 
knees, we must return to God, 
we must be faithful to the' reli-
gious beliefs we hold! This return 
to God must not be individual but 
collective: Each person in the 
world, and the world together! 

The leaders of the allied nations 
now are planning for the peace to 
come. The principles of Christ and 
His justice must be the guiding 
star, the foundation of this peace; 
and we should pray, too, that these 
leaders be guided by the almighty 
power of God, and we should not 
forget to pray that the enemy too 
will return to the principles of reli-
gion. 

Sixteen centuries ago in this 
very country, there lived a mother 
and a son. Monica was the name 
of the mother, and Augustine the 
name of the son. Like all mothers 
Monica worried about her son—he 
was away from the influence of 
home. This mother knew no limit 
to the sacrifice_ she offered, to the 
frequent journeys to the continent 
to speak with him and to urge him 



ADDRESS BY CHAPLAIN SHANAHAN 11 

to return to God. Finally, her 
prayer was answered and Augus-
tine came home. To the Monicas 
of America, to the mothers of the 
sons in the service, this lesson must 
be a bright clear guide: Pray, Sac-
rifice, Act. To all those whose loved 
ones are missing in action, to you 
who have lost sons in this cause, 
religion is your only comfort. 

The soldier who has been under 
fire in the battlefield quickly learns 
the lesson of prayer. And may this 

lesson of prayer and sacrifice and 
action be our standard of victory. 

Maker of all, the Lord and Ruler of 
the height, 

Who robing day in light has 
poured soft slumbers o'er the 

night, 

That to our limbs the power of 
toil may be renewed 

And hearts be raised that sink and 
cower, and sorrows be. subdued.

the place where the Blessed Sacra-
ment lay hidden, kneeling in silent 
adoration. 

Yet another outfit, "air men" 
this time, who were able to get a 
small building set aside as a 
chapel, chose for it the appropriate 
name of "Our Lady of the Sky." 

The universality of the Church 
comes homes to one again and 
again as he ministers to some of 
these groups. I recall a few months 
ago fifteen men kneeling in a line 
to receive Holy Communion, al-
most every one of whom was an 
American with a different racial 
or national background. Not 
merely were these men of Irish, 
German, Polish, and Italian ex-
traction, but in addition there was 
a Chinese, a Hawaiian, a Japanese-
American, two negroes, and two 
American Indians—one a Crow and 
the other a Nez Perce from the 
State of Washington. 

"Their sound has gone out to 
the whole earth." The devotedness 
of our Catholic soldiers and sailors 
toward their religion has become 
known in many lands. In the midst 
of one of the great dislocations of 
humanity of all times, and amid 
one of the greatest opportunities 
of religion since the Apostolic Age, 
our soldiers are giving an excel-
lent account of themselves. That 
good example-is, I believe, going to 
count in the reconstruction of the 
world when this - dreadful war is 
over. So tonight I bring you a 
message from our men in the Pa-
cific area, that you may be proud of 
them, and that you may make 
ready now to welcome them home 
when they shall come back at last, 
stronger and finer for the hardships 
they have borne, and ready to ap-
preciate their homes, their faith, 
and the liberty of free men, as 
never before.

have been saved by the fidelity of 
these natives, especially those of 
the South Seas, who have gone 
into hostile territory unarmed to 
assist our men on perilous mis-
sions, or to relieve our nationals 
who were under the power of the 
enemy. 

Our own'service men have shown 
like charity, based on love of God, 
in their dealings with the inhabi-
tants of the lands they have pene-
trated. After their landings in 
North Africa, American soldiers 
gave generously of their meagre 
means to help repair the churches 
damaged by their shells. When re-
cently enemy planes bombed a con-
vent in North Africa and killed 
fifteen nuns, our men collected 
funds to help rebuild the convent 
for the forty orphans who survived 
the bombing. When in the South-
west Pacific a Chaplain at the invi-
tation of the local Bishop visited a 
leper colony, he returned to camp 
and told his soldiers of his visit; 
spontaneously they made up a 
purse of twelve hundred dollars for 
the assistance of the lepers. At a 
leper colony in our own West In-
dies, the soldiers go regularly to 
entertain the lepers and furnish 
them with refreshments. 

Several months ago a young man 
on a small island in the Pacific 
wrote home expressing his regret 

that there was no priest stationed 
on the island; he added that on 
Sundays he gathered his Catholic 
companions together to say the ros-
ary and read the Epistle and Gos-
pel of the day's Mass. He added 
that he wanted a couple of cate-
chisms, for the instruction of two 
boys of no religion who had shown 
an interest in learning about the 
Catholic Church. Through- the 
kindness of the Bishop of that 
island group, a missionary was 
sent there, and on Easter Sunday 
the soldier had the happiness of 
standing as godfather for his two 
neophytes. In the absence of the 
priest, he and his companions had 
won the affection of the natives, 
who asked them to share their 
little church on Sundays. The 
native catechist would conduct a 
religious service for his group, in-
cluding a sermon; he would then 
bow profoundly to our sergeant 
and ask him to take over. 

Natives and-marines, natives and 
soldiers, natives and sailors, all 
over the island groups of the 
Southwest Pacific, have worked to-
gether to build chapels of bamboo 
and palm, or other native mater-
ials, to house altars designed and 
executed by graduates of our best 
schools of architecture. 

By request of their commanding 
officers, who have striven sedulous-



ADDRESS BY MOST REV. JOHN F. O'HARA 17 

ly to cultivate the good will of the 
local population wherever our 
forces have penetrated, the Army 
and Navy chaplains have given 
spiritual assistance to local par-
ishes and missions wherever there 
was need. Thus it has happened 
that our chaplains have had the 
care of parishes in North Africa 
and of missions in Guadalcanal and 
Tulagi. That spiritual charity has 
been repaid in kind. Missionaries 
and parish priests in Africa, in the 
Hawaiian Islands, in Iran, in Aus-
tralia, in South America and Can-
ada, in India, China, New Cale-
donia, and Samoa—wherever, in-
deed» our troops have been sta-
tioned, local priests have assisted 
our chaplains in caring for their 
scattered flocks. 

Yes, home is where the altar is, 
and our men today are at home all 
over the world. And if the altar is 
not there, where is the home? 
Whatever political results may 
come of this war, whatever econom-
ic or social schemes may grow out 
of it, its heartaches and its hor-
rors will have been in vain unless 
the altar is restored to the home. 
Only God knows how much horror 
is needed to bring us to our knees. 
Only God knows whether we are 
learning the spiritual lessons we 
must master if we are to be worthy 
of peace. We can speed the day of 
peace by family prayers, by the 
family rosary every night for the 
men in service, by the restoration 
of the altar to the home.

his Bishop: "I have been here but 
two weeks, yet I sense the sol-
diers' attitude toward spiritual 
values. Though I cannot quote 
figures, I can honestly say that 
95% of the Catholics are very re-
sponsive to the Holy Sacrifice of 
the Mass and that 40% of these re-
ceive Holy Communion weekly." 
This report is a very good witness 
to the truth. The chaplain was 
there only two weeks and was re-
porting what he found on his 
arrival. The work had been started 
by others. His task is to keep it 
going. Somewhere in New Guinea, 
he is thfis moment doing this splen-
did work in the midst of the uncer-
tainties of life in war. He is a 
man thirsting to gain the one cer-
tainty of life, God. "Now this is 
eternal life. That they may know 
thee, the only true God, and Jesus 
Christ, whom thou has sent." 

Your men in the United States 
Armed Forces of the Southwest 
Pacific, as you would have them, 
are continuing to know Our Lord 
at Communion rails, made not of 
polished oak or pine, but green 
bamboo, not in prominently placed 
churches but in hidden jungle 
chapels. 

Again, I'll pick up reports of 
chaplains. The first reports an 
Easter Field Mass somewhere in 
Australia. Hundreds of soldiers 

came to the Communion rail with 
precision and dignity, genuflected 
two by two, then received their 
Lord, in Holy Communion. The 
great Sacrifice of the Mass drew to 
a close with all singing "Holy God 
We Praise Thy Name, Lord of all 
We Bow Before Thee." The echoes 
of this hymn died away, but not the 
impression of this Easter Military 
Field Mass—for later the Com-
manding Officer said: "This is the 
most impressive Easter service I 
have ever witnessed." 

Another Chaplain, from one of 
our foremost outposts in New 
Guinea, reports: "At all night 
adoration of the Most Blessed Sac-
rament Holy Thursday until the 
Mass of the Pre-sanctified at one 
o'clock Good Friday, the soldiers 
were very faithful in their hour of 
adoration. The fellows got flowers 
for the altar Holy Thursday and 
Easter Sunday. With the new 
pews and a statue of the Sacred 
Heart in our jungle chapel, every-
thing was almost like home." 

Stiffen a soldier's muscles, 
quicken his mechanical reflexes, 
make more cunning his brain, but 
neglect the fact that he has a soul, 
and that soldier becomes less man 
and more monster—for he was 
planned by his Creator to have a 
body and soul, each with its pro-
portioned development. That such 



20 SECOND REPORT TO THE FATHERS AND MOTHERS 

neglect does not prevail in the 
United States Army is due in part 
to chaplains of the United States 
Army who have gone before us— 
soldiers who were ever mindful of 
the soldier's souls; to commanding 
generals of other wars who have 
seen the work of these chaplains 
and approved. For Army regula-
tions pertaining to the office of 
Chaplains are so wisely written 
that an Army chaplain has full 
scope, unassisted, 'in the perfor-
mance of his one duty, the spiritual 
welfare of the men in his com-
mand. Truly thankful then are we, 
in the United States Armed Forces 
of the Southwest Pacific, for a 
Commanding General who publicly 
petitions the guidance of God, 
whose commanding officers in the 
field cooperate with the chaplains 
by approying any reasonable sug-
gestion for the spiritual good of the 
men. That all chaplains serving 
under him may have more promptly 
the religious equipment and sup-
plies needed in their work, an allot-
ment of funds has been granted the 
office of the chief Chaplain to buy 
these supplies in the local markets. 

The Catholic Chaplain, for example, 
is constantly supplied with Mass 
candles, Mass wine, hosts. All the 
rosaries available in Australia 
have been purchased and distribut-
ed. Every available copy of My 
Sunday Missal by Father Stedman 
has been bought and placed in the 
hands of the men. Funds are 
available, but the local supplies ar'e 
limited, so we have to depend ,ever 
so much on the Chaplains Aid 
Association in New York, and the 
National Catholic Community Ser-
vice in Washington. You can share 
this task of keeping the Catholic 
chaplain in supplies bjj v/riting to 
our Military Delegate, Bishop 
O'Hara, and to the Chaplains Aid 
Association, in New York. We are 
getting these supplies but we need 
more, especially missals and rosar-
ies. We need more, your prayers— 
a good supply, for officers, chap-
lains, and enlisted men have a long, 
long way to go together before 
they can go to their homes. For the 
present, we thank God for the faith 
of the American soldier and the 
home from which he came.

22 SECOND REPORT TO THE 

Why, he's just a Chaplain—he 
might have come to us from your 
city or your town or your state. 
He might have been your Pastor— 
or one of the assistants in your 
church. We fully realize that you 
must miss him—he's a spiritual 
tonic. His eagerness is that of St. 
Paul; his loyalty that of the Be-
loved John; and his heaven-sent 
sense of humor will make his com-
pany always inviting. And with 
his company there is divinely at-
tached a wholesome presence for 
the Worship of God. 

Chaplain Ryan has reached the 
half-way mark in his eight weeks 
indoctrination course. He attended 
lectures for the first three weeks 
and now recalls those first days 
in the classroom. How strange to 
be again a student! But these lec-
tures untangled the maze of ques-
tionmarks he had accumulated. 
When and how to salute; the or-
ganization of the Navy ashore and 
afloat; the peculiar language of the 
sea—he smiles at the simple rhym-
ing of a poem about a sailor who 
came to dinner at his best-girl's 
home. How did part of it go? 

"While sitting at the table 
He needed elbow room, 
He looked at Dad and said: 'Say, 

Mate, 

Rig in your starboard boom'". 

Guest speakers were introduced. 

FATHERS AND MOTHERS 

Experienced officers explained The 
Office of Naval Intelligence; The 
Training of Recruits; The Office 
of Public Relations, through which 
all printed and spoken words must 
be approved for public presenta-
tion. Those classroom hours were 
far different from his anticipation. 
He thought the subjects would deal 
with religion, and spiritual values, 
and the souls of men. And then a 
member of the Faculty explained 
that all this was of set purpose. 
That these many clergymen of var-
ied denominations had to be given 
a common objective interest about 
which they might speak imperson-
ally. Here Christians and Jews 
discovered and discussed the Navy 
and the Navy's life. They often 
asked questions of each other and, 
f r e q u e n t l y , enjoyed well-taken 
smiles and laughs. Our Chaplain 
now realizes the importance of 
these weeks. Friendships were 
formed; mutual interest aroused; 
confidence founded. All this with-
out theological differences punctuat-
ing the conversation. Then, having 
found a common topic outside the 
realm of dogma, all "might more un-
derstandingly discuss the prime ' 
purpose of their living under one 
roof, namely, "to bring men to God 
and God to men—in the Navy 
way." 

The third week, recalls Chaplain 



ADDRESS BY CHAPLAIN SHANAHAN 23 

Ryan, was devoted to Divine Ser-
vices. "Rig for Church" was the 
keynote. The entire class witnessed 
and had explained the Sacrifice of 
the Mass. The successive steps in 
a typical Protestant Service were 
discussed. The illustrated lecture 
on the teachings, practices, and lit-
urgy of Judiasm—this last deliver-
ed by the Jewish Chaplain on the 
Faculty Staff—was keenly appre-
ciated. Truly, reflects our Chap-
lain, this is a strange indoctrina-
tion—it started in with salutes, and 
ships, and signal flags—and now 
it has evolved from military sal-
utes to the saluting by worship of 
the Divine Commander-in-Chief; 
from ships to the men who man 
those ships—and then to the most 
important part of those men—their 
immortal soul?; from signal flags 
to the Church pennant, the only 
flag or pennant permitted to fly 
above our own National Colors. Be-
cause of this planned routine many 
Chaplains of many creeds learn to 
live harmoniously together, to re-
spect the rights of others, and to 
cooperate without compromise in 
giving God His rightful due. 

Following these first three weeks 
of classroom work, Chaplain Ryan 
spent the next two on assigned 
Field Work. He might have been 
ordered to a Naval Training Sta-
tion—there to contact recruits; or 

to a "Sea-Bee" camp—there to serve 
the men whose motto is "Can Do," 
or the one reported over a busy 
Officer's desk: "Difficult tasks will 
be completed immediately. Inipos-
sible ones may take a little longer." 
Or our Chaplain's Field Work 
might have found him serving Offi-
cers and men of the United States 
Marine Corps—those sterling young 
men whose motto "Semper Fidelis" 
("Always Faithful") applies not 
only to things of earth but to 
things of heaven as well. He en-
joyed his Field Work assignment 
for more reasons than one. Most 
important, he became intimately 
reacquainted with the manhood of 
America, and these men of Amer-
ica, for the first time p o s s i b l y , 
lived with a clergyman, a clergy-
man who didn't impress them as 
one who was about to swoon in the 
odor of piety. A clergyman who 
spoke in Navy terms about Navy 
things. A clergyman who was wel-
comed immediately into their num-
bers because he, too, wears a ser-
viceman's uniform; because by that 
very fact he proclaims his willing-
ness to live the community life of 
his men, to share their joys and 
their sorrows, to face common 
dangers and possible death. 

He is back from Field Work now 
and he is eager to hear the ex-
periences of his classmates during 



24 SECOND REPORT TO THE FATHERS AND MOTHERS 

their respective assignments. Pat-
rick—who was sent to the Coast 
Guard; Tom—who served at a 
Naval Hospital; and Isaac—who 
was ordered to a Naval Air Station. 
These men will all add their ex-
periences to his—the exchange will 
be mutual—the result comprehen-
sive. Three weeks to go—and so 
much to be learned. The educa-
tional duties; the administration 
of the ship's library; domestic re-
lations problems proper to Navy-
men; correct office procedure and 
official correspondence; Naval his-
tory, customs, and traditions. 
These can now be taken in stride 
for the goal is just over the hori-
zon. He feels better physically, 
too. The daily Physical Training 
Program gradually conditioned his 
body to withstand the hardships of 
combat duty—even though he as a 
Chaplain will not bear arms. He is 
more erect from the military drill; 
his muscles are taut from rigorous 
calesthenics; his face is bronzed 
from hours of cross-country hikes 
and runs. He has practiced swim-
ming through burning oil and has 
"abandoned ship" down a cargo 
net into the purposely-churned 
swimming pool. All these qualifica-
tions are necessary if he is to be all 
things to all men at all times—men 
who have taken upon themselves 
the defense of their country; men 

who are strong and healthy and 
who have complete confidence in 
their ability. He, their Chaplain, 
must not fail them physically or 
spiritually. He must under every 
difficult situation keep up with 
them so that he may continue to 
bring them to God and to bring 
God to them. 

During his eight weeks duty at 
the Naval Training School, for 
Chaplains, he has constantly sought 
aid from on high. If Protestant 
minister, he has attended morning 
devotions in the famous Sir Chris-
topher Wren Chapel. If Catholic 
priest, he has offered morning Mass 
at one of the many altars provided 
and has later each day recited the 
Divine Office and said his rosary in 
the Oratory set aside for the Res-
ervation of the Blessed Sacrament. 
"Ask, and it shall be given you" 
{Matt. 7:7)—daily has he asked 
his Redeemer for grace sufficient 
to fulfill his duties—his duties to 
men 'consecrated to service—ser-
vicemen—men who serve their 
country and who serve their God. 
Admirals direct the former; Chap-
lains the latter. 

Yes, he has sought help from on 
high. Not only that—others like-
wise are praying for him. The 
prayers of you who have work to do 
at home—maintaining not only a 
material Home Front, but a spirit-



ADDRESS BY CHAPLAIN SHANAHAN 25 

ual Home Front as well—and the 
prayers of his classmates will be 
with him ashore or afloat. Just 
before Graduation Day—which is 
at the same time a Day of Spiritual 
Recollection—these Chaplains have 
pledged to each other one Sunday 
each month. Imagine such hap-
pening: Clergymen of varied 
creeds pledging to each other the 
dedication of the Worship of God 
on one Sunday each month for the 
spiritual benefit of all members of 
that particular graduation class. 
So this—when all is said and done 
—is the result of those first weeks 
of indoctrination — those weeks 
when common topics of mutual in-
terest were presented; those weeks 

when for the first time clergymen 
from the extremes of civilian life 
spoke a common language—the 
language of the sea. This is the 
result: Seeking mutual aid from 
the Father of All. Let us, then, 
take our cue from the spirit of 
Chaplain Ryan's class, the spirit 
of bringing "Men to God and God 
to men" in complete cooperation 
without compromise of fundamen-
tal beliefs. Let us on his gradua-
tion day from the Naval Training 
School for Chaplains say with him : 
"Dear Lord, guide and protect us 
—who, like Thee, will preach from 
ships, and who, like Thee, will live 
with men of the sea."

and the various religious congre-
gations of men have given gener-
ously of their priests though this 
meant often a decrease in the num-
ber of Masses and other religious 
services in their parishes. Arch-
bishop Spellman, our Military 
Vicar, has said, "It is at the pres-
ent time the noblest call of our 
priests and a call to which they 
have nobly responded." Bishop 
Byrne of Galveston wrote to one of 
his priests volunteering to be a 
Chaplain, "If we do not win this 
war, our parish churches and our 
priests might not have much lib-
erty to function. And so our home 
folks are willing to have the ser-
vice from fewer priests in order 
that the great number of our young 
men who have gone out to fight for 
us may not be neglected." Protes-
tant clergymen are likewise gen-
erous in offering their services to 
meet the great need for Chaplains 
in our Army and Navy. 

In last Sunday's talk, Chaplain 
John F. Robinson described the 
eight weeks' training which is given 
to all "Boot" Chaplains as we call 
new recruits in the Navy. Two 
weeks prior to graduation in the 
Chaplains' School at Williamsburg, 
Virginia, the school faculty sends 
a detailed report on each new Chap-
lain student to the Chief of Chap-
lains in Washington. This report 

deals with the Chaplain's person-
ality, ability as a preacher, his mil-
itary attitudes and bearing, and 
his leadership among his class-
mates. In short, such a report, to-
gether with information in the 
Chaplains' Bureau, gives a com-
plete picture of the new Chaplain 
now ready for active duty. A Board 
of Chaplains, with the Chief of 
Chaplains as Senior Member, meets 
every two weeks to decide where 
each Chaplain will be sent for his 
first tour of duty. Usually the new 
Chaplain is assigned to some shore 
station in the United States for 
several months before he is or-
dered to sea or foreign duty. A 
Navy Chaplain must be physically 
qualified and ready to accept any 
type of duty, foreign or domestic, 
ashore or afloat, with units of the 
Navy, Marines, and Coast Guards. 
Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish 
Chaplains are distributed so as to 
give all men an opportunity to wor-
ship Almighty God according to 
the dictates of their consciences. 

Now for a brief sketch of the 
duties of a Navy Chaplain. His 
primary duties are those of "an 
ordained man of God," whose rea-
son for his Chaplaincy is the high 
purpose of bringing God to men 
and men to God. To achieve this 
noble end, he uses every channel 
available to him, divine services,

administration of the sacraments— 
private consultations and man to 
man talks. The Chaplain's addi-
tional duties include recreational 
activities, supervising libraries, 
editing a ship's or station's paper, 
cooperating with social and welfare 
agencies ashore—all these activities 
can and do serve as means to ac-
complish his main desire of bring-
ing Officers and men to the fulfill-
ment of their religious duties. The 
Navy Chaplain lives and works 
with the officers and men of the 
Navy; they know him as their 
friend and confidant; he follows 
them in every danger as the scroll 
of dead, wounded, and prisoner 
Chaplains proudly attests. 

I recall an incident when the 
combination of an accidental shoot-
ing on board ship and the presence 
of a Chaplain resulted in a com-
plete change in a young Blue-
jacket's way of living. One of our 
aviators was inspecting the rear 
cockpit of his plane and accident-
ally discharged a loaded machine 
gun. A bullet pierced the stomach 
of a seaman who was standing af t 
of the plane. He was immediately 
rushed to the sick bay, and I was 
called to attend him as it was evi-
dent the injury was serious. A sur-
gical operation was required if the 
young man's life was to be saved. 
After hearing his confession and 

administering the last rites, I stood 
by while the surgeon performed a 
very delicate operation. Happily, 
everything went well and today the 
young man is back on duty. This 
experience transformed him. No 
longer is he careless about his re-
ligious duties. Today he is an ex-
ample to his shipmates of a man 
at peace with His Maker. The 
love of Christ for him created, love 
in him for Christ. 

The commission of instructing 
and guiding youth is a most im-
portant and sacred trust. Your -
boys, who have left farms and fac-
tories and schools as light hearted 
youths, will return from the ex-
perience of war as men—men, who 
in a few years, will be the heads 
of homes, the fathers of the next 
generation, the men who will mould 
the future and build, we hope, the 
foundations of a lasting peace. For 
victory in the war now and for 
progress in peace in the future, 
we must depend upon the unity of 
all Americans. That unity in turn 
depends to a large extent upon a 
mutual respect, a spirit of tolerance 
and forebearance of opinions of 
others—sometimes at wide var-
iance with our own. Without such 
a unity, our ship of freedom can 
founder upon the dark and dead-
ly shoals of racial mistrust, class 
hatreds, and religious bigotry. 



ADDRESS BY LT. COMMANDER BOSLET 29 

Bringing to all men this desired 
mutual respect, understanding, and 
tolerance, the Chaplain exercises 
a powerful and lasting influence in 
the development of the true Amer-
ican spirit. Navy Chaplains are al-
ways interested in explaining and 
defending the true liberty for 
which our nation is waging war 
today, namely, "the freedom to do 
what is right"—right before God 
and right before man. Moreover, 

I the Navy Chaplain realizes that the 
fine youthful lives of your sons are 
not built by physical well-being or 
intellectual training alone. True, 
these are necessary and import-
ant helps to his well-being; but as 
the foundation for everything else, 
there must be the basic belief in 
God, knowledge and observance of 
His commandments, and a constant 
awareness of God's design for liv-
ing and God's love for; your son— 
the creature of His creation. 

The morale of our men in the 
Navy is high. Concerning "morale," 
I speak of my own personal expe-
rience of five years spent on board 
three battleships and two years in 
a large Naval Training Station. By 
"morale," I mean steadfast cour-
age, deep loyalties, manly gener-
osity, and a constant readiness to 
serve our high cause, regardless of 
personal danger or hardship. "Mor-
ale" makes men strong in the de-

votion to our nation. A high moral 
standard makes men strong in the 
performance of their religious 
duties to God. The power of the 
union of "morale" and morals 
equips our fighting men as Chris-
tian soldiers and sailors with the 
"armour of God." Victory then can-
not be denied these Christian War-
riors. Victory then becomes as 
certain as God's stars above our 
fighting forces. 

I know the American bluejacket 
of today. He is not the lad pic-
tured commonly in the movies and 
humorous cartoons. On the con-
trary, he is a keen and serious-
minded young man. While filled 
with zest for adventure, he has a 
deep and abiding conviction that 
he is engaged in a moral struggle 
to preserve his home, his liberty, 
and his freedom to worship God. 
He is convinced that he is fight-
ing for God and, with confidence, 
places his life in God's hands. The 
Chaplains' letters and reports from 
our fighting men everywhere show 
that our men are daily giving proof 
of their stalwart faith in Almighty 
God by attending divine services 
regularly and in great numbers. 
Chaplains are inspired to greater 
efforts by the example of the men 
who often make real sacrifices and 
willingly give up leisure time to 
attend church. Bluejackets are not

prone to give praise when it is not 
due. Their many testimonials evi-
dence a genuine and a sincere ad-
miration for their Chaplain. They 
appreciate his counsel and help in 
their personal problems and dif-
ficulties. 

Bishop O'Hara, our Military 
Delegate, has said that his office 
has received hundreds of unso-
licited testimonials and tributes to 
Chaplains from Officers and men 
of the* Army and Navy. 

One of our ranking admirals who 
recently returned from a tour of 
the Pacific said, "In the South Pa-
cific, with the fleet and at our ad-
vance bases, I became intimately 
acquainted with the splendid work 
being carried on by the Chaplain 
Corps. Your Navy man knows that 
he can turn to the Chaplain for 
friendly help in any problem— 
whether he's worried about his 
God, his family back home, or his 
own chances for leave. Quiet, com-
forting, invariably a 'right guy', 
the Navy Chaplain comes thru— 
and brings his men thru." 

Having recently returned from 
three years' duty at sea, I am hap-
py to say that the cooperation of 
officers and men in furthering the 
work of the Navy Chaplain has 
been excellent. I consider it a high 
privilege to have been able, during 
the past seven years, to offer the 

Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and 
administer the Sacraments to the 
Catholic men of the Navy and to 
preach the eternal truths to the 
Protestants when a Protestant 
Chaplain was not present. In a 
word, we Chaplains in the ser-
vice strive to help all hands of 
every belief in every way possible. 

During these days of war, I 
know that the Chaplains' presence 
with the men, as their unit or ship 
goes into the battle area, is reas-
suring and appreciated. All hands 
listen reverently and repeat in 
their hearts a prayer as the Chap-
lain prays over th'e ship's loud 
speaker for victory and protection. 
Much has already been written of 
the appreciation of the Marines for 
the Chaplains who have lived and 
worked with them during their 
active campaigns on the Fighting 
Front. Many young men come to 
realize, perhaps for the first time, 
the strength and consolation that 
religion can give, when conditions 
are such as to try the souls of the 
staunchest men. 

Chaplains are serving on board 
our ships as they ply the seven 
seas; they are ministering to your 
sons in such diversified areas as 
Africa, the British Isles, Iceland, 
Alaska, Aleutian Islands, and in 
many island bases scattered over 
the vast reaches of the Pacific. The

Chaplain is carrying the Cross and 
the teaching of Him Who died 
thereon, to every fighting front. 
Many men who are expending every 
effort and even their lives are find-
ing God on the way. Truly, in 
these critical days, American Chap-
lains, when they bring and 
strengthen the religious faith in 
the lives of your sons, are literally 

fulfilling the commission of Christ 
to His apostles when He said: "You 
shall bq witnesses unto me . . . 
even to the uttermost part of the 
earth" (Act 1:8). "Teaching them 
to observe all things whatsoever I 
have commanded you: and behold 
I am with you all days, even to the 
consummation of the world" (Mat-
thew 2 8 : 2 0 ) .

34 SECOND REPORT TO THE 

some of them may strain a little 
after relaxation and diversion. 
There were, too, in the beginning, 
members whose moral and physical 
stamina was untested. And there 
were some who were just adven-
turing. A few of those were bound 
to fall from grace; but since most 
of them were neither helpful nor 
happy, they have by now almost all 
gone home. The wonder isn't that 
there were a few moral failures, 
but that there were so few. 

It is an under-statement to say 
that on the whole the WAC's are a 
hard-working, high-minded patriot-
ic lot of girls. 

From my own observation and 
experience, and not because of 
wishful thinking, I will say that 
their service has been for some a 
means of grace and the beginning 
of a new peace and dignity of soul. 
Others are lifting themselves up to 
permanently higher levels of living, 
by their unstinting devotion, their 
willing sacrifice, and their quiet en-
durance. They are finding new 
strength and new satisfactions, a 
new direction of life and a new 
nobility. And I will further say 
that I have met here some of the 
most devout and decent women I 
have ever known. 

Women have engaged in war be-
fore, without loss of gentleness and 
grace. Our own nuns went out 

FATHERS AND MOTHERS 

onto the battlefields of the Civil 
War and came back without tarn-
ish but with new distinction and 
honor. Corregidor was no place 
for women; but our nurses there 
didn't shock the men with whom 
they shared hardship and danger, 
but thrilled them and heartened 
them and the whole country—and 
won everlasting glory for their 
corps. If women can endure' the 
sights and sounds of the battle-
field and the dressing station, with-
out being coarsened and made un-
womanly, then surely they can do 
the jobs the WAC is undertaking 
without damage to their sweeter 
selves. Long ago a maid achieved 
sanctity by her soldiering. She 
clothed her slight form in shining 
armor'and went off to the wars, in-
different to the surprise and scorn 
of men, listening only to the voice 
within. She revitalized her falter-
ing kins: and his failing armies and 
led them on to victory. Our women 
soldiers in the spirit of St. Joan of 
Arc are not only marching on to 
victory over our country's enemies, 
but over those implacable enemies 
of the soul: the world, the flesh, 
and the devil—and are keeping 
themselves clean and unspotted. 

When one of our public men was 
visiting in Russian front lines, he 
asked his host how much of the 
front he was defending. The young 



ADDRESS BY CI 

General quickly retorted "Defend-
ing, sir? I'm attacking." i feel 
that way about this talk, that I am 
not defending the WACs so much 
as attacking any unchivalrous, un-
grateful, and unjust criticism of 
their Corps. What they have a 
right to expect is the praise and 
thanks of all Americans! 

When the War Department de-
clared its urgent need of supple-
menting is manpower because of 
the enormous demands of total and 
global war, they were the first to 
answer the call. Eager and im-
patient to go all-out, on full time, 
for their country, they left their 
loved ones. They left their homes, 
where they had been shielded from 
danger, sheltered from hardship,' 
and saved from labor. They left 
good jobs, for which they had 
trained and waited long, for tasks 
that were humble and hard. Reso-
lute and unfraid, one hundred per 
cent volunteer, no laws or public 
opinion urging them on, they 
marched out to whatever awaited 
them, the long labors of the Train-
ing Center, or the foam of perilous 
seas, and foreign lands forlorn. 
They were not content with the old 
assignment of women in war: "for 
men must work and women must 
weep." They insisted upon work-
ing, with the patience, diligence, 
and devotion that is characteristic 

APLAIN CASEY 35 

of women. As their director says, 
"they are determined to make their 
new chapter of American History a 
serious contribution and not a 
feminine footnote." And the Chief 
of Staff of the United States Army 
testifies that "commanders have 
spoken in the highest terms of their 
efficiency and value." 

My dear friends, the Declaration 
of Independence, the beginning of 
the life and greatness of our Re-
public, was the work of a compara-
tively few men. It was the result 
of the prophetic and providential 
vision, the political genius, and the 
constant preaching of Samuel Ad-
ams, Thomas Paine, Patrick Henry, 
Thomas Jefferson, and a handful 
of others, rather than the spon-
taneous rising of the people. It 
was implemented by the force of 
personality and military leadership 
of George Washington and Lafay-
ette. And though the war was long 
and drawn-out, and it impoverished 
the country, there were not a great 
many of the citizens engaged at a 
time. But, unhappily, in the 167 
years that have elapsed, wars have 
grown since then in scope and in-
volvement; so now it is not army 
against army, but people against 
people. The enemy is still mighty. 
He has been concentrating all his 
national energy and attention upon 
war for years, and unless and un-

The keeping of our independence,

the hands of a few, not in the hands 
of the army and navy alone, but in 
the hands of all of us. Nobody can 
lie back, nobody can sit it out—it is 
everybody's fight this time. That's 
the way the women of the WAC 
feel; and that's why they have gone 
to war. 



THE PURPOSE OF THE CATHOLIC HOUR 
(Extract from the address of the late Patrick Cardinal Hayes 

at the inaugural program of the Catholic Hour in the 
studio of the National Broadcasting Company, New 
York City, March 2, 1930.) 

Our congratulations and our gratitude are extended to the 
National Council of Catholic Men and its officials, and to all 
who, by their financial support, have made it possible to use 
this offer of the National Broadcasting Company. The heavy 
expense of managing and financing a weekly program, its 
musical numbers, its speakers, the subsequent answering of 
inquiries, must be met. . . . 

This radio hour is for all the people of the United States-
To our fellow-citizens, in this word of dedication, we wish to 
express a cordial greeting and, indeed, congratulations. For 
this radio hour is one of service to America, which certainly 
will listen in, interestedly, and even sympathetically, I am 
sure, to the voice of the ancient Church with its historic-
background of all the centuries of the Christian era, and 
with its own notable contribution to the discovery, explora-
tion, foundation and growth of our glorious country. . . . 

Thus to voice before a vast public the Catholic Church is 
no light task. Our prayers will be with those who have that 
task in hand. We feel certain that it will have both the 
good will and the good wishes of the great majority of our 
countrymen. Surely, there is no true lover of our Country 
who does not eagerly hope for a less worldly, a less material,, 
and a more spiritual standard among our people. 

With good will, with kindness and with Christ-like sympa-
thy for all, this work is inaugurated. So may it continue-
So may it be fulfilled. This word of dedication voices, there-
fore, the hope that this radio hour may serve to make known, 
to explain with the charity of Christ, our faith, which we 
love even as we love Christ Himself. May it serve to make 
better understood that faith as it really is—a light revealing 
the pathway to heaven: a strength, and a power divine 
through Christ; pardoning our sins, elevating, consecrating 
our common every-day duties and joys, bringing not only 
justice but gladness and peace to our searching and ques-
tioning hearts.
