About This Book
The author examines religious, educational, and social challenges confronting Catholics in the western provinces, presenting analysis of missionary needs, organization of a Church extension movement, pastoral outreach to non-Catholics and immigrant communities, and tensions arising from union movements. He defends separate schools and outlines campaigns for improved primary and higher Catholic education, including proposals for funding and a Western Catholic university. Finally he surveys postwar reconstruction, the shaping of public opinion, and the value of Catholic truth societies, offering practical principles, institutional recommendations, and appeals for coordinated lay and clerical action to strengthen religious life and social influence.
