Church in Lethbridge… It was the first Sunday of June the month of the Sacred Heart and we organised [sic] the League of the Sacred Heart in this parish… This took place at the evening Service and really it surpassed all our expections [sic]…. About One Hundred joined the League and I am sure that quite a few regret not to be members to day… It will be for the next enrolling. We expect great results from this Union or Apostleship of Prayer.
