The hundredth birthday of the Co-Operative Movement passed almost unnoticed among Catholics in this country. The only commemoration was a supplement to the Catholic Worker. This is in keeping with the strange aloofness of Catholics in Great Britain from the movement. Yet it contrasts with the interest displayed by Catholics in many other lands.
In the United States the well-known Queen’s Work and the National Catholic Rural Life Conference set up a joint committee to celebrate the Rochdale Centennial. The celebrations were a great success and included a letter from the Papal Secretary of State, two nation-wide rallies, leaflets and folders, special sermons and talks to school children and the publication of a pamphlet. In Quebec, where a Dominican edits an official co-operative journal, in Nova Scotia, where the movement owes much to a Catholic university, and in many other areas the celebrations were on as vast a scale and were supported by leading members of the hierarchy.
