 The Catholic Bureau led the effort to save as many of the now over 50 Catholic schools as possible.It promoted in-church appeals from bishops and missionaries; it launched a fundraising support organization called the "Society for the Preservation of the Faith among Indian Children" coupled with "The Indian Sentinel" magazine as a membership benefit; and it collaborated with other allied fundraising groups, such as the Marquette League.These efforts and those of the Lenten collection proved helpful.
