Quotes

 * We are the first pioneers of a future of which most men and women know nothing. This should fill every student with a deep Catholic awareness and a humble conviction of victory. Of course students must also become experts in precise methods of missionary pastoral. But methods are only a means and as such of secondary importance: the most important thing is the joy which comes from knowing God, from knowing what we believe this joy is our strength.
