Orphans
Need Kindness
Certainty Of
Their Future
VATICAN CITY, (NC) —
“More than food and clothing
the orphan needs the intimate
warmth of kindness and the
certainty that the future holds
something better for him than
the unhappy present,” His Hol
iness Pope Pius XII said here.
Speaking to an audience of
the National Organization of the
Care of Orphans of Italian
Workers, the Pontiff urged his
hearers to “love the children en
trusted to you by God, by fam
ilies, and by country.
“Love them out of gratitude
for the sacrifice offered by their
parents to the nation and with
the wish to change their mis
fortune into a source of happi
ness . . . Love them with that
religious sense taught from the
beginning by the Apostle, St.
James, who showed that the im
portant part of Christianity lay
in help given to orphans:
“ ‘Religion, pure and undefil- .
ed before God the Father, is
this: to give aid to orphans and
widows in their tribulation and
to keep oneself unspotted from
this world.’ (James 1:27)
“Love orphans because they
are loved much by the Church
and She will be grateful to you
for the love you give them,” he
said.
At the beginning of the audi
ence the Pope addressed him
self to the orphans present, say
ing: “You will always be the
Pope’s special children. In keep
ing with the traditions of the
Church, which has always de
voted herself to material care of
orphans, He (the Pope) consid
ers himself your father in a
special way.”
The Pontiff noted that 20,000
children are being cared for in
400 boarding institutions, many
of them operated by religious
orders, under the Italian na
tional program and saluted this
as “one of the most eloquent
signs of civil progress made by
Italy.”
Commenting on the Church’s
role in promoting the growth of
social justice, as exemplified by
homes for the care of workers’
orphans, the Pope declared:
“The merit of the guiding
force of social action can be
rightfully ascribed to Christi
anity as an idea, as a sentiment
and as a source of action.
He said Christianity has also
served to keep the “thirst for
social justice within the bounds
of natural rights, protecting it
from excesses and from upheav
als of equally unjust attitudes.”
Further, he declared that “in
fact in recent decades, whether
in Italy or elsewhere, applica
tion of social justice promoted
under the aegis of Christian in
spiration and by Christian-
minded men has constantly pro
gressed without causing harm
ful shocks to the whole social
structure and through its many
works has proved the fruitful
ness of Christian principles.”

SISTERS IN LAY GARB, WHO RIDE
BICYCLES TO WORK, RUN TOURIST
CENTER FOR NON-CATHOLICS IN ROME
By Floyd Anderson
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
ROME — A group of Sisters
who wear lay garb and ride
bicycles to work conduct a tour
ist center for non-Catholics ,
within the shadow of St. Peter’s
basilica.
They are the Ladies of Beth
any, who operate the Foyer
Unitas in the Palazzo Salviati
a few short blocks from the
Vatican.
The center has two functions:
to help non-Catholic tourists en
joy their visit to Rome and to
interest Catholics in the prob
lem of Christian reunion.
The tourist office was started
during the 1950 Holy Year at
the suggestion of Archbishop
Giovanni B. Montini of Milan,
then Vatican Pro-Secretary of
State. The Archbishop had not
ed that more and more non-
Catholics tourists were coming
to Rome each year and that
nothing was being done to help
them.
After the Holy Year the La
dies of Bethany came from the
Netherlands to staff the center.
Their congregation’s special aim
is apostolic work among non-
Catholics and they too felt that
something should be done for
non-Catholic visitors to Rome.
The Ladies of Bethany began
in Holland in 1919. In 1932 they
received permission from the
Holy See to work in civil dress.
The members take religious
vows, as any Sisters do.
There are three Ladies of
Bethany in Rome. One stays
at their apartment to care for
the home, one stays in the of
fice and the other does the
“guiding” for the non-Catholic
tourists. When they are very
busy, two will go out with the
visitors. Usually they work with
small groups, often with just a
few persons.
The Sisters take visitors
around the Vatican and Rome
and explain what they are see
ing. They have opportunities,
for instance, to give their non-
Catholic visitors tickets for aud
iences in St. Peter’s, to see the
excavations under St. Peter’s
basilica and to visit the Vati
can gardens. As one of the
Sisters said:
“In Rome everything you
show is connected with religion.
That is what makes an office
like this, this kind of work,
possible. Only Rome would lend
itself to this.”
She said that the people ask
questions about the different
things they see. “We try to an
swer these questions,” she said,
“and to go into the background
of the question.”
The Sisters would rather
guide small groups because then
it is possible to explain better
what is seen. “If we have only
one person who really wants
to be shown around,” one said,
“we go with them. If there are
other people, then we go with
the whole group and explain the
sights in the different lang
uages.” She added:
“At home we learned German,
English and French, besides
Dutch. When we got here we
started to learn a little Italian.
And two of us have started
with Swedish, because we get
so many Scandinavian groups.
To make their work known,
they prepared a leaflet, which
they sent to the different travel
agencies. These were printed in
French, Danish, English and
German. Then the people start
ed to come and late they sent
their friends. During 1957, the
Sisters helped over a thousand
persons to a better understand
ing of Rome and the Catholic
Church.
The Foyer Unitas is now men
tioned in a new travel guide,
and has been brought to the at
tention Of bishops and various
.organizations in Europe.
What kind of people come?
The Sisters’ report for 1957 lists
some of them: Protestant min
isters of various denominations,
a Buddhist monk, a group of Af
rican chiefs, various groups of
Protestant theological. students
and many others.
A Lutheran pastor, for exam
ple, came with a group from
Sweden. He was very happy
when the Sisters offered to se
cure for those who desired it
the opportunity to assist at Mass
in the catacombs. Those who
wanted to go came to the Foyer
Unitas the night before for an
explanation of the liturgy of the
Mass, so that they would better
understand the Mass the next
morning. And the Sisters report
that the majority of the Swed
ish visitors went to the Mass
and “were profoundly impress
ed.”
The Sister said that they have
found that “very often the pre
judices of non-Catholics are tak
en away. We just show the peo
ple what the Church really is.”
The Ladies of Bethany have
a small apartment some dis
tance from their tourist office,
where they often care for guests.
During 1957 they received 34
guests there, 16 of them non-
Catholics.
An interesting sidelight on
the Sisters is that they ride bi
cycles from their apartment to
their office. This is not unusual
in Holland and other countries
of northern Europe. But to
brave the traffic of Rome on a
bicycle is really unusual—and
so are the Ladies of Bethany
with their office devoted to
helping non-Catholics under
stand Rome, and thus to under
stand the Church.

ST. LOUIS — The Gregorian
Chant Mass IX (Cum jubilo),
Credo III, has been selected by
His Excellency, Archbishop Rit
ter of St. Louis, for use at the
Solemn Pontifical Mass which
he will celebrate on the formal
opening day of the Twenty-
ninth convention of the National
Council of Catholic Women,
September 21, in the Cathedral
of St. Louis. The Mass has been
scheduled for 3:30 p. m.
Because this is the first time
NCCW has attempted, in ac
cordance with its program of
stimulation of lay participation
in the liturgy of the Church,
singing of the Mass by the con
gregation, there is a possibility
that the Mass will be televised
either locally or nationally, so
that those outside the federation
may have the opportunity to
witness t h i s demonstration of
full participation in the liturgy.
At this convention, there will
be elections to the Board of Di
rectors of the NCCW from
eleven of the twenty-five ec
clesiastical provinces in the
United States. One of these di
rectors will be elected from the
Baltimore Province, and each
