Excerpt from A Parochial Course of Doctrinal Instructions, Vol. 1: For All Sundays and Holidays of the Year; Based on the Teachings of the Catechism of the Council of Trent and Harmonized With the Gospels and Epistles of the Sundays and Feasts

No more timely and valuable contribution to the Catholic pulpit could possibly be made than the Parochial Course of Doctrinal Instructions prepared by Reverend Fathers Callan and Mc Hugh, of the Order of Preachers, in conjunction with our Diocesan Commission on Preaching, to which I entrusted, some time ago, the working out of a practical and uniform Program of doctrinal and moral exposition for the entire Archdiocese of New York.

I am more than gratified and consoled at the exceptionally splendid result, in the appearance of the Program, already in use in New York, and of the present volumes as a companion work in the larger development of the subject matter outlined in the Program.

It is quite evident that the authors and compilers realized that the quest for the passing new in preaching lessens, if it does not altogether destroy, the zest for the basic old in the Church's treasury of the Word. Hence, the Catechism of the Council of Trent, the Encyclical of Pius X,1 and that of Benedict XV,2 have been studied most carefully and followed in the preparation of these volumes.
