Housedinthemagnificent buildingsatSt.Aquinas College,onthehistoricCanning-river,andthenearby SantaMariaCollege(MercySisters),approximately300 studentsattended.
Theatmosphereofthe conferencewasajoyousone andmuchofthis,while partlyduetotheholiday spirit,andthefactofyoung peopleofsimilartastestand idealsgettingtogether, stemmedfromthefactthat FatherC.Howell,S.J.from England,introducedstrongly theideaofintimateandactiveparticipationofall Catholicsinourpriceless heritage,theMass.
Thistooktheformofthe revivaloftheage-oldand beautifulliturgy.Inrecent yearsconsiderableinterest hasbeenrevivedinitdue tothefactthatSt.Pius'X in1903,andsucceeding Popes(especiallythepresentHolyFather)have urgedthateverypublic Massshouldbecelebrated withactiveparticipationof thelaity.
"InpracticethismeansthatthepeopleshouldjoininthosepartsoftheMass whichbelongproperlyto them,andthatalector shouldtranslateforthem thosepartsoftheMass whichareimportant,but whicharevariable,and hencecannotbeunderstood inLatin."
