'Crew' determined to work to improve their lives Society told them that their jobs were done: It was time to sit back and take life easy. They disagreed. So this small group, including an insurance man, a businessman, a pipe fitter, a truck driver, a postal employee and a custodian, rechanneled their time, energy and talent to the service of their parish community. They formed the Wednesday Crew of the local cathedral. ow they are "employed" every Wednesday with general repairs and groundskeeping around the plant. parish

As in the case most weekday evenings, 70 people were to be served dinner one evening this spring in the dining room at a Catholic Charities centre in a poor area of a large city. Directing activities in the centre's tiny kitchen was a man I'll call Frank Maher, now 70 years old. On hand to help him make this lasagna dinner for the poor a reality was a couple and their three children from the parish that had contributed the food for the evening; and four teenagers from two area Catholic high schools. The elderly fulfill many responsibilities in parishes today. Though the elderly may be retired from their careers, many find new direc· lions, and even new life, by turning their talents to the senice of their parishes. The Wednesday Crew, a croup of men at St Peter C.lhedral spend one 411 a week working around the parish, doin& repairs and carin1 for the crounds.

more recent teaching about family m1rnstry and family religion. This teaching looks at
"Precisely because old age Is a time of life which needs to fulfill Itself In active and loving engagement, adequate prominence and help should be given to all the endeavors which help the elderly to emerge from an attitude of mistrust, solitude and resignation, and to become Instead dispensers of wisdom, witnesses of hope and workers of charity ••• The fact is that modem cultural patterns - In which an unbalanced emphasis often Is placed on economic productivity, efficiency, physical strength, beauty and personal comfort - can make the elderly seem burdensome, superfluous and useless, distancing them from family and social life." (Pope John Paul II In his 1982 World Communications Day message) What Is your Image of the elderly? To ask such a question Is similar to asking what people are like at midlife. In that case, however, Images Immediately come to mind of this or that person for whom midlife Is a time of decline or a time of new birth and renewed energy; for whom midlife does not seem greatly different from earlier adult years, for whom It Is a time of crisis or for whom It has become the occasion of fulfillment and genuine maturity. Obviously, people at midlife are diverse. They cannot be reduced to a simple formula or definition that explains them. So, perhaps a way to get at our question about the elderly Is to ask not what "image" of the elderly springs to mind for you, but what "Images." For, undoubtedly, the elderly cannot be reduced to a simple, single definition either. To stir these Images it might be asked: Who are the elderly people that you know? However, the risk In asking these questions Is that in many cases Pope John Paul II will be proved right: We'll learn how many of the elderly have been distanced from our family and social life; that they frequently exist on the margins of society; that many younger people don't know them. The US bishops expressed a concern about this in 1976, saying: "America today faces a great paradox. It Is an aging nation which worships the culture, values and appearance of youth. Instead of viewing old age as an achievement and a natural stage of life with Its own merits, wisdom and beauty, American society all too often Ignores, rejects and Isolates the elderly."
family m1rnstry in a different way
Since
the Second Vatican Council, the church has emphasised that m1rnstry begins with the family itself. Twenty years ago Vatican II said - and Pope John Paul II has been at pains to emphasise and re-emphasise 1t - that the hfeof the fam1ly1s the family's principal pastoral act1v1ty What does that mean? Let me illustrate with three stones about people I know Friends of mine are successful 1n business They are usu,g the profits from their business to provide their chlldren with a good education, carefully choosing schools and programs and trying to give the children the guidance

But Vatican II and Pope John Paul - obviously supporters of parish lrte - emphasise that the famlly itself 1s a true church community As a result, family ministry 1s on the move We are beginning to understand the way in which families are church commun1t1es and how their hie 1s also a min1Stry This should prove a support to family hie when that support 1s needed
