was busy ringing doorbells, ask-: iDi questions, persuading lukewarm and lax Catholics to come bac~ to their Faith. But it was all too obvious that the overwhelming numbers inVolved were more than anyone priest could handle alone. And Father Judge remembered that in the confessional he had asked those who had been away from the Sacraments for years, "What helped you back?" And usually the answer was "The guy next door," or "a fellow who works with me," or "a lady in the next house kept after me." Now, thought Father Judge, if • few good people could do so much on their own-how much more could be done by a group ell'aiDed and led in the work! '."
