Catholic Gaels in Canada

The Very Rev. Father Campbell, S.J., of Glasgow, is shortly leaving Scotland on a Gaelic mission to the Catholic Gaelic-speaking Gaels of Canada, of which it •is estimated there are above 200,000 in that country. Besides conducting the mission, which will be in the national tongue of Scotland throughout, Father Campbell will prepare the way for an entente cordiale between the Catholic Gaels of Scotland and those of Canada, with a view to the formation of a society which shall be at once Catholic and national, and which will devote itself to the promotion of the Gaelic' cause in Scotland and Canada. Father Campbell will be absent from Scotland six months, and goes to Canada at the invitation, sanctioned by Rome, of a number of Canadian Gaelic-speaking priests.
