Book excerpt: Excerpt from First National Catholic Congress: Leeds, July 29-August 2, 1910, Official Report The proposal to hold a National Catholic Congress in England has, it may be claimed, been justified. If we consider the object aimed at by the promoters, and the extent to which that object was actually attained, the accomplishment of their project has been in very large measure achieved. The purpose was to bring together on one occasion as many as possible of the different Societies and Associations which are devoted to various branches of Catholic activity in England. The pages of this Report will show how many organisations answered to the call, and the extent, earnestness, and interest of their endeavours. As the years follow in succession, many details of the method of holding a Congress will, in all probability, undergo change. It will, perhaps, be found advisable to have, in addition to the great meetings in the evenings, some general meetings during the day, which would unite all the constituent Societies for the serious discussion of some well-defined subject, the actual papers on which might be entrusted for preparation to the Association best fitted to deal with the matter proposed for consideration. A good part of each day could still be left free for the separate sectional meetings of the various Societies. The example of the Eucharistic Congress, of which our National Congress was the direct outcome, was followed in regard to the religious functions which gave a special character to the great gathering of Catholics at Leeds. And there can be little doubt that, in this respect, all future Congresses will maintain some, at least, of the same special characteristics.
