Some Resolutions for the New Academic Year

Dear Crusaders,

In my editorial for the July-August bulletin, I invited you to follow a rule during the summer vacation. This was two months ago and many things happened since!

It would be interesting to make a survey to find out which Crusaders have been able to make and keep the rule of the Eucharistic Crusade during the summer months.  With the small number of treasure sheets I received for the month of July, I have reason to wonder.

Anyway, back to school; then it is usually easier to remember, and log, your duties as Crusaders of the Eucharistic Crusade.

On my side, to help you, I plan to have regular meetings of Crusaders for our Crusaders of British Columbia, especially in Langley.  The dates and times of such meetings will be announced in “Star of the Sea”, the monthly bulletin of the Society of St. Pius X in British Columbia.  My goal is to start in October.  I will also be in touch with fellow priests across Canada to organize similar meetings in the other provinces where the Eucharistic Crusade is established. 

For now, I am inviting you to do the following little test of fervour in the Eucharistic Crusade. You will find it below.

Best wishes for the school year,

Father Dominique Boulet
