Father Joseph M. Agius, 0.1-., of San Francisco summed up the Holy Name program this way :it a ceremony during the society's 1964 Vel'celli Medal was pr4! sented to Herbert Michelbrook of Portland.

The Dominican provincial des eribed the Holy, Name Societ.y, with more than four million U.S. members, as a major counter force to this trend. "It can loe amid of true Holy Name mem bers that while they are ernestly and actively engaged in the af fairs of everyday living, th.ey never really let themselves out of the presence of God," he said. "This thing called the Holy Name Society wants to put reli gion in the world * * * For this it was founded. For this it has existed more than 700 years. For this it exists today," Father Agius said.
