Study declares Catholic school. goals clear

WASHINGTON (NC) - Cath­ olic schools have clear goals which ~mphasize the develop­ ment of character and commun­ ity-building in addition to acad­ emic achievement, according to a study being undertaken by the Chief Administrators of Cath­ olic Schools.

The first part of the CACE "Study of Effective Catholic Schools," is completed. The

study considered three issues which have been under scrutiny - ability grouping, merit pay­ master teachers and finances ­ since several national reports on public schools reported a crisis in education. President Reagan, who recently named education one of his priorities, has called for changes such as merit pay for teachers.

Anthony Bryk, a senior re­

search associate of the Huron Institute of Cambridge, Mass., and one of the principal investi­ gators, said parents, students and teachers in Catholic schools share a consensus about the pur­ pose of education and are strong­ ly committed to achieving this purpose.

He also found that although diverse in ethnicity and social class, student bodies appear uni­

fied and cohesive.

Many Catholic school teachers consider their work a ministry and are concerned not only with academic excellence but also with building moral character and community among their students, according to Bryk. The relatively smaller population of the schools results in a personal atmosphere where teachers and students know each .other on an

Are the public school issues of merit pay and master teachers pertinent to Catholic schools, Bryk was asked. "Catholic schools have something signifi­ cant to contribute to this debate," he said.

Bishops' Labor Day statement

Just and stable economy called for

WASHINGTON (NC) - The task for Catholics and for all Americans is to build a more just and stable economy, an economy that serves people, Bishop Mark J. Hurley of Santa Rosa, Calif., said in the bishops' Labor Day Statement.

The economic signs of the times call for a new vision based upon fundamental human values and faith in God, said Bishop Hurley, chairman of the U.S. Catholic Conference's Com­ mittee on Social Development and World Peace.

"This means constructing an economy that is governed not only by the goals of efficiency, productivity and financial profit,

but also by the moral principles involve not only .technical com­ of economic justice and human petence in various disciplines dignity," he said. but also basic justice and ulti­ American society is entering mately, the fruit of justice, a new economic era, Bishop which is peace?" he asked.

The bishops' statement calls for full employment, an e"quitable taxation system and a government which plays-- a role in the economic activity of its citizens. Economic development should not be left to the judge­ ment of a few people or groups; the largest possible number of people should have an active share in directing that develop­ ment, according to the state­ ment.

"These principles flow from the most basic principle of Catholic social teaching - the

dignity of the human person," the bishop said. "It is precisely for the purpose of promoting human dignity and safe guarding basic human rights that the church attempts to delineate these kinds of moral guidelines in the economic sphere. While not providing alll actual blue· print for a just economy, such principles can be used to evalu­ ate economic policies and goals." ·Bishop Hurley said there can be no economic recovery without a solution to the problem of un­ employment. "An economic sys­ tem which does not have full employment as a major goal is basically flawed."

Pope salutes workers VATICAN CITY (NC) - Last May I, the equivalent of Labor Day in Italy and many other countries, Pope John Paul II dedicated his Sunday noon talk to the workers of the world.

At that time he told some 50,000 persons in St. Peter's Square that he wanted to honor all those who labor, "to say to them a word of best .wishes, of solidarity, of appreciation, of hope." . "It is by means of labor," the pope continued, "that man pro­ cures for himself and for his loved ones the daily necessarY sustenance and, at the same time, gives a personal and cap­ able <:ontribution to the scien­ tific and' technical progress of society: and, above all, to the continual ethical elevation of all humanity."

The pope offered his "sincere hope that the dignity of workers, their fundamental rights, their irreplaceable contribution to the progress of society may always and above all be recognized, liafeguarded, protected and reo spected."

"May work never be used against man," the pope added, "but may it be developed, or­ ganized and put in place in such a way as to allow a person to become 'more a person' and not to be degraded, wearing out· his

powers and hurting his dignity." , A few moments later, while greeting pilgrims to St. Peter's in several languages, the pope said in English, "Our thoughts turn to St. Joseph the Worker, and to aU who, like him, work to reach their human fulfillment and their Christian dignity."

May 1 is the feast of St. Joseph the Worker.

Montana aid BUTrE, Mont. (NC) - Bishop Elden F. Curtiss of Helena, Mont., has pledged $100,000 in aid and more priests to economi­ cally depressed Butte. The bishop challenged the Anaconda Min· erals Company and Butte labor unions to negotiate a fair settle. ment of benefits to laid-off workers. Anaconda, after 100 years of copper minIng in the area, suspended operations July 1. Only 70 employees remain with the company, which once employed 15,000.

Bishop Curtiss said he would establish a committee in the pre· dominately Catholic area "to deal with the hurting people in Western Montana."

Family Night

A weekly at-home program for families

sponsored by the Diocesan Office of Family Ministry

OPENING PRAYER Thank you, Father, for the wondrous gift of life you have given .

Thank you for the great gift ............................................................ is to our family. Bless us as we gather to celebrate this very special day and grant . many abundant blessings this next year. Thank you, Father, for birthdays. Amen.

TO THINK ABOUT Birthdays are fantastic fun for the person who is now a year older and also fun for the fam· ily, the relatives, and the friends who may be joining in the cele­ bration. Why celebrate birth­ days? There is no greater gift from God than life itself. Birth· days mean we are happy to be alive, and we are happy to be growing whether its physically, spiritually, or emotionally. To be alive is terrific! Let's celebrate.

ACTIVITY IDEAS Young Families A birthday party with little friends is so much fun for young ones. By all means have a party, but make sure it is well organ­ ized and there are lots of help­ ers. This Family Night is the family's chance to celebrate. For younger ones, the more festive the better. Balloons, homemade hats, and gifts are special fun.

Present the birthday person with a king's or queen's crown and a royal cape. The words "Happy ,Birthday" can be pinned on the back. Then award him or her a birthday badge with paper streamers hanging from it. On each streamer mark some posi· tive quality of the birthday per­ son.

Read aloud John 3:1-8, the story of Nicodemus. Together look back over the last year and recall the high and low points in the birthday person's life. How have these helped the individual grow spiritually? What do birth­ days mean to those of us who are adults?

Middle Years Families Make a birthday candle. Use a large white candle and mark it from the top down with years up to 18. The candle can be decorated with ribbon and se­ quins using small straight pins.

Permanent magic markers or acrylic paint can be used to mark it with the person's name and birthdate. When the candle is finished; burn it to the present age of the birthday person.

Every year it is burned on the ' person's birthday. Each family member thanks God for the hon· ored one and names his or her talents as well as asks for special blessings for the birth­ day person in' the coming year.

Anyway, the kid finished the year with a very good mark IP. math. Was this due to his father's sage advice? No, it was due to his mother's tutoring.

Still, I like my little sermon about God's will and perform­ ance in school. If a kid studies diligently and gets nowhere, chances are he or she isn't cut out for an academic course of study. Maybe the kid isn't col­ lege material. Not everybody is.

Nothing disgraceful about that.

A good trade is better than a bad diploma. Jesus was a car· penter. Peter was a fisherman.

Paul made tents. There were no computer science majors among the apostles. The modern world still neeps carpenters, fisher­ men and, since camping has made a comeback in recent years, tentmakers.

Too many kids go to college to drink beer. College ought to be for those who are really serio ous about learning. Pushy par­ ents sometimes pressure kids who have no academic interest to go to college anyway. The parents think they will be hu· miliated unless Dick or Jane gets a degree.

A degree is part of the Am­ erican myth of upward·mobility.

A degree, marriage, kids, a house, a car, a few promotions on the job, summer house, a second car - and then college for the next generation of kids.

This cycle is pretty silly, es· pecially when we make a reli· gion out of' it.

Go back to school with a smile, kids. We all have talents.

Learn what your talents are and develop them. School can help you do this. All God asks is that we make the most of our talents.

to go to. School can help you to learn where your talents lie, and to develop your talents. God made you to know, love and serve Him. You do that in part by developing your talents in school.

"Don't be like I was in school," I always urge my three kids. I have two in high school and one in grammar school.

"Pay attention in class. Never let an assignment slide. Do your homework every night. Don't fall behind, because it's hard to catch up. Playing catch·up is tough in sports, and it's even tougher in school. You get dis­ couraged, you get demoralized, you do less and less, you get further and further behind. Be­ lieve me, I'm an expert on this."

I spent two years as a senior in high school and flunked out of college twice. What do I know about school? I know what I did wrong. I spent too much time daydreaming, looking out the window, wishing I were someplace else instead ol in class. My concentration ~was poor and so was my perform­ ance.

I got lucky later in life; and landed on my feet despite doing everything wrong. I wasted a lot of years. If I had known when I was a kid what I know today, I would have excelled in school. Today I know how to concentrate. Concentration is more important than aptitude, intellectual curiosity or willing­ ness to put in time.

A kid whose mind is on ro­ mance, baslretball, Saturday night, etc., cannot do algebra.

A kid must think about algebra in order to do it. Put distraction out of mind and put the mind to work on the subject at hand, and academic success will like­ ly follow.

Candido Nardi, 53, his wife and children chatted for several minutes with the pontiff in Pale­ strina, a mountain·top town 25 miles southeast of Rome, while the pope was making the 39th visit of his pontificate to Italian towns outside the capital. , .

On Oct. 14, 1978, Nardi, a bus driver, was flagged down on a deserted mou~tain road by a man in a black clerical suit. The man said that his car had broken down near th'e Marian shrine of Mentorella, where he had been praying and that he had to be in Rome later that afternoon for the start of the conclave which would elect a pope.

Th priest asked to be driven to Palestrina, to catch a bus for Rome. Setting what is still view­ ed as a local speed record, Nardi charged down the twisting rural highway to Palestrina, covering ,12 miles in about 15 minutes.

Unaware that he was carrying Cardinal Karol Wojtyla of Cra­ cow, Poland, Nardi reached Pa· .Iestrina just in time to catch the Rome bus. Cardinal Wojtyla reached the Vatican barely in time to don his vestments for the procession into the conclave which two days later elected him pope.

The pontiff did not mention the incident in his four public talks in Palestrina, but he did mention his love for the area, noting that as a student-priest in Rome, he was fond of visiting the Mentor· ella Shrine.

The pope celebrated an open­ air Mass for 6,000 people in the town square. it was the feast­ day of the town's patron, Agapi­ tus, martyred as a young man in the third .century.

During the Mass, a girls'· choir sang, "Veni Sponsa Christi," composed by a ,well-known local personage, the 16th'-century com­ poser of vocal polyphony, Gio­ vanni Pierluigi da Palestrina.

Pope John Paul was the first pope to visit Palestrina since Urban VIII in 1,630.

These teachers renew the sys­ tem, bringing in new ideas, Bryk continued. "The assumption be­ hind merit pay seems to be that it's a way to keep teachers in­ volved and happy, especially ten­ ured teachers who can't be fired even if they are perceived as in­ effective. Few new teachers are entering the public school sys­ tem, hence there's little chance for new blood and high enthusi­ asm. Catholic school teachers, on the other hand, may not be interested in a lifetime career, but they make a very valuable contribution to their schools," Bryk said.

Ability grouping or tracking, which has run into some criti­ cism as inflexible .and harmful to students, is a fairly comnion practice, according to Bryk., "Since Catholic schools for the most part have limited re­ sources, grouping is an effective way to operate. However, the negative effects often associated with grouping don't seem to ap­ pear in Catholic schools," He attributed this to the flexi­ bility of the tracks; to consider­ able crossover among students within the tracks and to the small school populations which allows teachers to avoid stereo­ typing the students.

The CACE study so far does seem to confirm fears of Cath­ olic educators about the difficult financial situation of their schools.

The set of economic forces here do not bode well for the future," Bryk commented, say­ ing there is a "time bomb tick­ ing in the background in many Catholic schools," especially inner-city schools.

The problem arises because of the move toward staffs made up entirely of lay people and be­ cause a number of sctiools have balanced their budgets by in­ creasing enrollment and tuition faster than the rate of inflation.

If the balancing' act is to con­ tinue, schools must set up long-. range plans to determine what tuition rate will be needed to keep the institution afloat and how that rate will translate into disposable family income, Bryk said.

A KISS FOR CARDINAL COOKE

lliness touches hearts NEW YORK (NC) - Word that Cardinal Terence Cooke suffers from acute leukemia touched the heart of New York with immediate force.

People went to St. Patrick's Cathedral or their parish churches to pray and light candles. Priests of the archdio­ cese remembered the cardinal in a special way in their Masses.

Public . officials and unknown citizens alike voiced their shock and concern.

"I join all New Yorkers ­ Catholics, Protestants and Jews - in praying for the cardinal's recovery, and part of my prayer is a thanksgiving for the years he has served the people of New York, preaching, leading, heal­ ing," said Gov. Mario Cuomo of New York after the cardinal's illness was announced Aug. 26.

Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D·N.Y.) said, "This is a time for prayer. There is not a man in New York who would be so much missed."

"I wish him godspeed," said Sen. Alphonse D'Amato (R-N.Y.). '~y prayers are with him."

Mayor Edward Koch called Cardinal Cooke "the pre-emin­ ent spiritual leader" of New York. "Just by his moral pres­ ence he has had an incredible impact on the quality of life in our city."

Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum, inter­ religious affairs director for the American Jewish Committee, said, "We've been close friends for 20 years. He refers to me as rabbi confessor. He comes from a very poor Irish immigrant background, and he had early contact with the poor immigrant Jews who faced the same bigotry and discrimination."

After the archdiocese made the announcement, New York's afternoon dally, The Post, gave . the news its front page headline for the day's final edition. The next morning the illness was on

the front page of all three New York dailies.

Percy Sutton, a black Cath­ olic and former Manhattan bor­ ough president, said, "Cardinal Cooke has a lot of friends in the black community. I and many others in the black community join in prayers for the cardinal."

Newspaper features on Car­ dinal Cooke noted that he had raised large amounts of money from more affluent parishes to help the operating cost~ of par­ ishes and schools in poor areas.

Cardinal Cooke had been scheduled to attend the annual banquet of the New York Giants professional football team Aug. 26. Instead, participants hear4 an announcement that he was seriously ill and that in addition to asking for prayers he "wants the team to win."

George Steinbrenner, owner of the New York Yankees base­ ball team, said, "We're all pray­ ing, you can count on that ­ the team, the fans, everyone."

Flowers, telegrams and tele· phone calls from around the world were reportedly flowing into the cardinal's residence, where he has chosen to live out his illness. "The cardinal sees the interest as a sign of love and is cheered by it," said Father Peter Finn, director of communi­ cations for the New York Arch­ diocese.

A policeman interviewed on a local television news program recalled that Cardinal Cooke had participated in funerals for offi­ cers, and said he was well liked in the police department.

Among those observed light­ ing candles for Cardinal Cooke in St. Patrick's Cat-hedral was Patricia McGreal, who had once met him when he visited a rec. tory. "I was only working in the kitchen, but he was interested in me," she said. "He 'Is a' very sincere, simple, down-to-earth man."

A NETWORK TELEVISION camera records the action at last year's annual meeting of the U.S. bishops. More and more the bishops' actions and statements command media attention. (NC Photo) ;_.. ,1<

.r·

The making of a bishop, 19,83 PITTSBURG (NC) - People should be interested in who' their new bishop will be, but the se­ lection process does not include a "canvass or referendum," says Dominican Father Thomas P. Doyle, secretary to Archbishop Pio Laghi, apostolic delegate in the United States.

Father Doyle's explanation of the making of a bishop was pub­ lished by the Pittsburgh Cath­ olic, diocesan newspaper, after priests, nuns and lay persons in the diocese had ask~d to be in­ cluded in the process of nam­ ing a successor for retiring Bish­ op Vincent M. Leonard.

Earlier this year, Father Neil McCaulley, one of 15 priests in the group, wrote Archbishop La­ ghi, asking for a meeting to dis­ cuss the role of diocesan priests in the selection process.

He said Archbishop Laghi had replied that "nothing resembling group consultations, canvasses or referendums may take place."

Father Doyle wrote that selec­ tion of Pittsburgh's new bishop would follow the 1972 document "Norms for the Selection of Candidates for the Episcopacy in the Latin Church."

"At the discretion of the apostolic delegate, the adminis­ trator (interim head of a dio­ cese) may also be instructed to carry on a limited consultation among the clergy, religious and laity," Father Doyle said.

The consultation, he explained, is not to suggest a possible bish­ op, but to determine the state of the diocese and "the qualities desired in the future Ordinary."

Father Doyle said experience has shown that "restricted and confidential" consoltation is the best way of studying the situa­ tion of the diocese and the quali­ fications of suggested candidates without violating privacy.

"The Holy See does not per­

mit a broadbased consultation, public in nature, similar to a canvass or referendum," he said.

The norms used for selecting a bishop involve "pontifical se­ cret," meaning that "those who receive letters of inquiry from the apostolic delegate, or those consulted by the administrator are not to disclose this fact to anyone nor are they to discuss the content of their response with anyone," he said.

Father Doyle added that un­ solicited letters and other com­ munications on the state of the diocese and the qualities desired in a new bishop '''are also taken into account." , The bishops and priests con­ tacted by, the delegate's office are also asked to suggest candi­ dates. ' The delegate's office prepares a report from the information gathered and sendS it to the Holy See along with a ''Tema,'' the names anell profiles of the three "most suitable candidates," he said.

The report goes to the Vatican Congregation for ,Bishops, which forwards a recommendation to the pope, who makes the final decision in the matter.

Through the various inquiries, "the right of the faithful to par­ ticipate in selection of their leaders is respected and acted upon," said lFather Doyle. "The most important factor is not the participation of many per se, bu~ the selection of the man most capable of meeting the needs of the diocese and fulfilling the role of bishop.

"This process can never rely on popularity or prevailing opinion of what the church 'ought to be' but on what the church actually is in light of the needs of the local community and the universal church,'! he said.

Eastern Rite churches have

have their own procedures and synodal regulations for nomina­ ting and making final selection of candidates for episcopal or­ dination.

In some countries where con­ cordat or other special arrange­ ments are in effect, civil gov­ ernments have specified privi­ leges to express approval or dis­ approval of candidates for the episcopacy.

117 Rockdale Ave., N.B.

FCC perplexed WASHINGTON (NC) - Im­ agine the postman bringing you more than 6,000 letters every day on an issue that doesn't even exist.

That is what's happening to the Federal Communications Commission over an eight-year­ old rumor that atheist leader Madalyn Murray O'Hair wants to ban religious broadcasting jn the United States.

Despite efforts to kill the ru­ mor _ Mrs. O'Hair never filed such a petition with the FCC ­ the number of protest letters is growing again.

At one point two years ago it looked as if the FCC might have successfully squelched the rumor. After a peak of 2.3 mil­ lion letters received in 1978, the FCC received "only" 546,000 ·letters on the issue in 1981.

But in 1982 the letter count was back up to L4 million, ac­ cording to the FCC. Initial tabulations for this year show a pace which could put the letters back\ over the 2 mil­ lion mark in 1983. According to Ms. Moran, some 88,000 letters arrived in January. But by May, the last month for which figures were available, letters were com­ ing in at a 180,000-per-month pace.

The total since 1975 is now beyond 16 million.

Like adults, children must learn to cope with strl!SS. Sev­ ere stress might produce tears, interrupted' sleep, tantrums, bedwetting and regression to more babylike behavior. Such behavior might indicate - the stress is •too severe.

NEW YORK (NC) _. The Vatican art exhibit at the Metro­ politan Museum in New York attracted 426,700 out-of-town visitors who spent $101 million' in the city, according to mmuse­ um-sponsored study.

for every occasion . ..

Baptisms First Communions Birthdays Confirmations Weddings Anniversaries Ordinations OPEN DAILY 10:00 A.M. to 7:30 P.M.

Of the visitors, 48 percent were Catholics, 28 percent Protestants and 11 percent Jews.

The impact of "The Vatican Collections: The Papacy and Art" on the city's economy was studied by. the research firm of Yankelovich, Skelly and White to determine the extent to which the museum stimulates tourism and brings money into New York. The tourists spent their dollars on hotels, restaumntll, transportation, entertainment and shopping.

Museum director Philippe de Montebello said he was not sur­ prised by the study's findings, "but it doesn't hurt to use a pro­ fessional firm to convince others of the importance of the arts to the city financially as well as spiritually."

The museum receives approxi­ mately 30 percent of its funding from the city, and the results of the study will be used to sh~w . that the museum is a good in­ vestment for New York.

Tickets to the exhibit of Vati­ can art treasures in New York were slow sellers at first, but eventually the show was sold out. The exhibit was in New York Feb. 26 through June 12, will be in Chicago until Oct. 13· and then move to. San Francisco.

The study was based on the sampling of 1,035 aduit visitors from outside New York's five boroughs and showed that 53 percent of out-of-town visitors came from New York suburbs.

Although the exhibit was a sell out, it fell short of the "The Treasures of Tutankhamun" show of 1979 in terms of econ­ omic impact and drawing power.

The exhibit of Egyptian artifacts attracted 633,500 vi$itors from out of town who spent an esti­ mated $111 million in the city.

The totai number of visitors to the Vatican exhibit was 855,939, compared with 1.2 million who came to view the Egyptian show­ ing.

With the exception of the re­ ligious profile of Vatican ex­ hibit visitors, the study showed that the tourists conformed to the profile of most museum visitors. The viewers tended to be affluent with 62 percent hav­ ing family incomes over $35,000, 70 percent were age 40 or over and 42 percent were profession­ als or executives.

While 58 percent of the out­ of-town visitors said they came to the city specifically because of the exhibition, most visitors spent only between one and two hours viewing the 237 Vatican treasures.

As the pastoral was being de­ veloped several bishops com­ mented that they hoped it would not end up gathering dust on Ii shelf. Though it is still too early to predict the long-range impact of the letter, the initial months indicate that the bishops' wish is being granted.

burnout is to 'try harder' • It just intensifies the symptoms."

People most susceptible to burnout are idealistic, inflexible, set rigid standards for them­ selves, try to please everyone, can't say no, are easily angered, impatient and hurr~ed.

Other likely victims are "high achievers, caring, compassionate people who really want to help others and make the world a better place in which to live.

They expect too much of them­ selves, and too much is exp~cted of them by others," Balk said.

A renewed spiritual program is a viable solution to burnout, but it must be a daily routine, Balk said. Journal keeping, fa~t­ ing or physical exercise help some people.. ~ITake a half-hour every day and do not let anything inter­ fere with that time except a crisis .•. That's the only way it will work," he said.

"Take time for yourself. That's a must, and it should be done daily, ~eekly, monthly and at other intervals during the year."

Interpersonal support is vital, Balk said. A person suffering from burnout needs a supporter who "will level with you, care enough to hold you accountable, ask difficult questions, enjoy you, give you a sense of worth, affirm that you are competent and still allow you to ask for help and evoke the best in you."

Identifying burnout is often the beginning of overcoming it.

Balk said, but a person' needs to take some risks and become vulnerable.

"That's very hard for burnout victims to do because they've already been so hurt by life that they're afraid of further risks.

But, with some risk-taking and some important lifestyle changes, hopelessness can be turned into hope. That's the difference be­ .tween winning and 1Qsing the burnout battle."

What's on your mind?

Q. I'm discouraged because' I

feel like I'm not really impor­ --tanto I reel like a nobody really.

What can I Clo· so that I don't feel depressed about myself?

(DIinois) A. In the seventh and eighth grades I felt just as you do in . some ways. My life was unevent­ ful. Nothing much important ever happened to.me. .

Dick, who joined· our class in the seventh grade,- made matters worse. He was, it- seemed, Mr. Perfect.

He got top grades and was always ready with the right an­ swer in class. He was the best in Boy Scouts and excelled in all sports. .

But what I envied most of all was the fact that Mary Mar­ garet, 'a beautiful natural blonde, walked home with him' every afternoon after school. ~ Dick was always pleasant enough to me. In fact we were sort of friends. But I always thought he was so perfect that he really didn't think much of me. .After elementary school I saw practically nothing of Dick, for he chose to go to a different high school.

In the turbulent years of World War II, my friends went all 'over the globe - to Africa, Europe, the South Pacific., When it was all over I heard nothing of what happened to Dick.

The years sped by. I became an editor in a city 70 -miles away from the home of my school days.

Then, one afternoon, a man walked toward my desk. He was rather poorly dressed and there ~as a strange vagueness in his eyes. He spoke uncertainly, slowly, almost fearfully.

"Do you remember me, Tom? I'm Dick. We went to school to­ gether."

TOM LENNON

He was earmng a ~eager amount of money by selling the type of nameplate that an [execu­ tive - or, in this case, an editor , -'puts on his desk. He h~d rid­ den the train 70 miles to ~ell me a sign, and to talk to me.; In halting words he told me about the German bomb~ that had shattered his mind and . about· his frequent stay~ i~ a mental hospital for treat~ent.

This day was a free one and he was allowed to earn some pocket money.

I That night I made a long-dis­ tance call to the nun wHo had taught Dick and me irt the seventh grade. "Why?" I Iasked her. "Why did he come all that way to see me?" [.

"He's wanted to for Ii long time, Tom," she said, "butI only now .has found the courage to make the trip. He comes to see me often and he talks abotit you so much.

I "He remembers you m~~ than anyone else in the class.: He's always admired you and he: came all that way to see you because he's convinced you're th~ only one who can save him frotu the hell he's in." " I' I was stunned. That night I lay in bed asking myself allI sorts ' of questions that have nagged me many times since.

I Why had Dick remembered me all those years? What h~d he seen in Mr. Nobody that I was unaware of at the time? I '\Who else had noticed me in the seventh grade?

Who's noticing me now \with­ out my being aware of it?

How am I affecting othe~ peo-, pIe's lives today - for better or fOr worse?

.YOllth told to live faith

SAN FRANCISCO (NC) - We must live oJr faith so others will see our living 'witness not only to our religion but to our faith in God," Father Mike Manning of Riverside, Calif., told young people at a Catholic Youth Con­ ference in San Francisco.

"People who are on fire will change the world," Father Man­ ning said in his workshop, "Why Remain a Catholic?" In his talk the priest told the young people that ·for every 1,780 Catholics only one new one is brought into the church each year.

The conference began with re­ gional rallies for the more than 800 young people who attended the conference from throughout the western half of the United States. The theme of the con­ ference was "Build, Connect and Celebrate."

It was the, first conference of its kind on the West Coast, said Laura Erbachr, San Francisco representative of the National Federation of Catholic Youth Ministry.. "Most of the confer­ ences are held on the East Coast and they tend to be more for­ mal. This was the first time one ha!;! been held in the West for the states west of the Missis­ sippi." An Eastern conference I

will be held in Washington in November.

One young woman at the con­ ference said, "I came to this (Father 'Manning's) workshop be­ cause I'm supposed to be con­ firmed in May of next year, but I'm not sure. I want to hear what the church is doing as compared with any other reli­ gion. Just because my friends do it doesn't mean I should auto­ matically do the same thing."

Another youth saw the con­ ference as "a chance to be with people who share my beliefs."

Parent-teen communcation, sex, boyfriend~girlfriend relation­ ships and youth ministry work­ shops were the most attended of the approximately 20 seminars.

At one gathering workshop leader Mike Shaffer asked,' "What's Sex?" "It's 'difficult for young peo­ ple today, faced with sexual im­ ages on T.V., movies, pressured by peers, etc. to have a true picture of a basic human need," he said.

"It's not something that should be feared, or denied, but rather talked about and discuss­ ed openly and honestly. That's a difficult thing for many of us," Shaffer told the group.

The North Enders, with a nine­ run outburst in the fourth in­ ning, routed Maplewood, 14-1, in the opener of the best-of-three final and clinched the - crown with a 6-4 victory in the second encounter.

Tony Barroso gave up only three hits in his five innings on the mound for North End. One of those hits was John Ivarone's home run that accounted for Maplewood's lone run.
