Printed Circular The American College at Louvain was established at Louvain by several American bishops with the consent and approbation of Cardinal Engelbert Sterckx of Mechlin, under the patronage of the bishops of Belgium and under the auspices of charitable persons interested in the American missions. Its object is to procure from Belgium and adjacent countries young men desirous of devoting themselves to the North American missions. These young men will pursue the course of the Catholic University of Louvain, also studying English and German and theology. They will remain secular priests and be placed in the parishes by the bishops. Great numbers of European immigrants go to the New World and many lose the Faith because they lack priests. To be admitted to the American College it is necessary to obtain the consent of the bishop and to furnish a certificate of good conduct and aptitude for the study of theology. Those who enter after ordination will be sent to America as soon as they are judged ready for the work. Board and room is 500 francs a year, each boarder must furnish his bedding. Remittance may be made at the end of six months or a year. Payment of board and room gives the right to choose a diocese; those who have received help are at the disposition of the bishop who has paid for them. :: III-2-i Printed Circular French 3pp. 12mo.
