Conclusion
homily given in 1955 by Fr. Edward L. Hughes, O.P., who was at that time
Provincial of St. Albert’s Province (USA). The occasion was Holy Mass
marking the 75th anniversary of the Foundation of the Dominican Nuns of
the Perpetual Rosary. He said:
“Fr. Damien was a humble man. He completely effaced himself and his own
name in the propagation of the Perpetual Rosary. He must receive in the
grave what he shrank from in life, recognition and tribute for his wonderful
accomplishments in favor of devotion to the Mother of God.”
