In full: “It gives me great pleasure to send hearty greetings to you and through you to the members of Saint Joseph’s Church as you celebrate the centennial of its founding. I note that by a happy coincidence this, also, marks the 40th anniversary of your ordination. In sending best wishes to the congregation and you, may I express the hope that all the fine things accomplished during the past may be but a forerunner of nobler achievements in the future.” Letter is affixed to an identical size rigid board.
