The intervening years have witnessed the coming of age of this program, as an ef- fective instrument in the development of American Catholic women. Basic principles have given sub- stance to this program, while their application has always recognized the need for change to meet the demands of the changing times. A full decade has passed since the last revision of the Constitution and By-Laws governing this pro- gram. Consequently, it is with pleasure, that I ap- prove this current revision bringing both of these governing instruments up-to-date for the general good of the program. I earnestly pray, that these re- visions will make the Junior Catholic Daughters of America strong and vocal in the work of the Church in the sixties. ' V'’" - ’ \ ^ / ' AAA:; 'AA' ^ .

They are currently incorporated into the Youth Department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference. They have been accepted with pleasure by me, as the Episcopal Moderator of their program. It is a full program which is offered to the Juniors. It is designed primarily to develop sound spirituality in its members, making them fully aware of their inheritance and their responsibility by Baptism in Christ. This program does not remain self-centered. It recommends a plan of action, designed to develop a sense of service in its members. This program is rooted in the social philosophy of the Church, and seeks to encourage the Juniors, according to their age and their ability, to become involved in translat- ing this philosophy into a program of action in their community. This program encourages a growing interest in those areas of life, which add to the cultural stature of the members. Young women must be taught to appreciate the best in art, music and literature. Gentle women are always gracious women. This program finally provides recreation according to Catholic ideals, bringing together the members for the simple purpose of encouraging them to know one another and enjoy the company of one another. Wholesome recreation is never foreign to the sound Catholic approach. Recognizing our natural depend- ence upon one another, the program fully provides the opportunity for companionship under the guid- ance of the Church. It is my prayerful hope, that this revision, both of the Constitution and of the By-Laws of the Junior Catholic Daughters of America, will encourage the program in the years ahead. May both the Juniors and their counsellors be helped by this revision, in developing themselves in the pattern of the Sacred Heart, under Whose protection and guidance the program has prospered through the years. Through its use may the Heart of Jesus develop young women, dedicated to the ideal of making themselves thor- oughly Christian, so that they may lead themselves and others eventually to Him. + William G.
