Office Of Vocation Director
"One Of Most Responsible"
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., (NC)
—Bishop Paul J. Hallinan of
Charleston, S. C., characteriz
ed the office of vocation di
rector as “surely one of the
most responsible in the whole
diocesan administration.”
And Auxiliary Bishop Philip
J. Hannan of Washington,
D. C., listed as the “most dan
gerous obstacles” to religious
vocations today — “lack of pa
ternal authority causing un
sound family life; the critical
spirit of our age; materialistic
influences.”
The prelates spoke at a
meeting here for vocation
directors from more than
twenty-five eastern archdio
ceses and dioceses for discus
sions of fostering vocations to
the priesthood and the reli
gious life. Bishop Coleman F.
Carroll of Miami, was host to
the meeting.
Bishop Hallirian said it is a
“fearsome” fact that the office
of vocations director is “one
of the most delicate, difficult
and even dangerous posts.” He
said: “You are asked to be a
middleman between the divine
call and the minds, hearts and
wlils of a generation busy,
like Martha, about many
things. Not all of these things
are as wholesome as Martha’s
work in the kitchen. You stand
as a bridge between the hu
man heart which demands so
much, and the divine heart
which demands so much more.
You are assigned to catch the
blinding flash that came to
Saul and the whispered invita
tion that came to Simon — and
make sure that a preoccupied
generation sees the flash and
hears the whisper.”
Bishop Hallinan directed his
address to the problem of re
ligious vocation work in the
colleges. He told the directors:
“The heart of the difficulty
(and the danger) is that the
religious vocation is so person
al — as intimate as hidden
thought, as sacred as a secret
act of contrition.”
“It is our task,” Bishop Hal
linan said, “bishops and voca
tion directors, priests and Sis
ters, to open every door possi
ble to’ the college students.”
Bishop Hallinan suggested
“three doors” that could be op
ened. He said:
—“First that our high school
principals and counselors urge
their graduates upon starting
to college to enter into a
‘working association’ with
some particular priests or Sis
ters in the higher institutions.
By ‘working association’ I
mean a collaboration with
them in a specific task, aca
demic or extracurricular, apos
tolic or scholarly. Both the
Catholic college and the New
man centers have dozens of
such tasks. If the new stu
dents know that they are
needed and wanted, they will
find these assignments and in
the case of those special per
sons whom God is calling, they
will find themselves, too.
—“Second, that the best of
Catholic writers be enlisted to
present the case for the mod
ern priesthood and sisterhood
in the media that the college
students are reading: alert
Catholic magazines, imagina
tive college papers, lively pa-
perbooks and pamphlets. To-

day’s collegians are reading
more, and reading more seri
ously. They will not read pro
paganda if they recognize it
as propaganda. But they will
read good creative writing and
often form decisions on what
they read.
—“Finally, that the door of
a vocation be plainly marked
‘Sacrifice,’ and not ‘The
Abundant Life.’ The college
students will not long be fool
ed by jingles and film strips
urging that ‘Religious life can
be fun,’ or the pious commer
cial, ‘Are you praying more
but enjoying it less?’ The juve
nile element of our campuses
will always be with us but it
is outnumbered today by seri
ous students. The modern col
lege student has in many cas
es already sacrificed much. It’s
getting harder to get in college
today and even harder to stay
there. He has met, on any re
spectable campus, the dedicat
ed scholar who has sacrificed
his life to truth and to beauty.
He learns to understand the
meaning of such unselfish ef
fort. He has the resources of
youth that religious life can
put to a test and now he is
growing mature enough to
want to test these resources.”
Bishop Hannan listed “two
necessary principles in build
ing up vocations by develop
ing the respect and esteem for
the priesthood.” He said: “We
must use the normal occur
rences of Catholic life as
means of grace; for instance,
the selection and handling of
altar boys can be a crucial
means of aiding vocations. It is
not only necessary for the par
ish priests to show the altar
boys what their selection
means, but it is just as import
ant for the parents to show
their respect for the duties as
signed to their son as an altar
boy. The parents must willing
ly, not grudgingly, awaken
him on time, make certain
that he is groomed and in
general show by their attitude
that it is an honor.” The Wash
ington prelate added: “Be sure
to praise him if he does credit
ably.”
“Secondly, we must take the
initiative in promoting voca
tions,” the Bishop said. “We
must apply to the field of re
ligious vocations what we
know about parish life or even
the field of business. How
many successful businesses are
developed simply by waiting
for candidates to come in and
apply? Business schools and
colleges develop techniques for
attracting and testing candi
dates; advertising is develop
ed in newspapers and on TV;
no reliance is placed simply on
untutored reactions of an in
dividual. On the other hand,
how many good ushers’ socie
ties or sodalities in the par
ish are developed simply by
waiting for volunteers? The
best way to insure that your
parish will be overrun and
controlled by religious ‘indivi
dualists’ is to leave the initia
tive to others. You build a
good parish by going after
good candidates for your par
ish posts.”
Bishop Hannan recommend
ed that talks by good exemp
lars of religious vocations be
given in every class each year
in Catholic colleges and twice
a year in every class in Cath
olic high schools. He urged
that talks also be given to the
parent-teacher associations of
every Catholic elementary
school.
“There will be greater num
bers of vocations when the
priesthood is held in honor by
all — by the clergy and the
laity,” the Washington prelate
said. “No one aspires to what
he does not admire. If a child
does not learn from his par
ents and his parish priests to
admire the likeness of Christ
in the priesthood, we cannot
expect him to aspire to the
priesthood.” .
Vocation
Directors
Plan Meet
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., (NC)
—Plans for a national conven
tion of diocesan directors of
vocations to the priesthood
and religious life were mapped
here during an executive ses
sion by some 40 priests.
The priests who are vocation
directors in eastern, western
and midwestern archdioceses
and dioceses participated in a
three-day meeting with Bishop
Coleman F. Carroll of Miami
as host.
They discussed plans for a
national convention of the di
rectors to be held late this
year at a site yet to be determ
ined. They also discussed par
ticipation in the First Inter
national Congress of Vocations
scheduled to be held in May in
Rome.
The directors also discussed
cooperation with the Sacred
Congregation of Seminaries
nad Universities which has re
quested reports from vocation
directors on statistics covering
candidates to the priesthood
during recent years and cop
ies of literature used in pro
motion of vocations and
screening of candidates.
Father James J. Walsh, Mi
ami diocesan director, served
as chairman of the (Jan. 2 to
4) meeting here. Msgr. Martin
Christopher, Washington, D. C.
archdiocesan director, was
named executive secretary for
the Eastern directors, and Fa
ther Joseph Knorr, Pittsburgh
director, was named to the
board.
Former Communist
Party Official
Enters Church
.NEW YORK (NC) — John
Lautner, a top official for 20
years of the Communist party
in the U. S., was received into
the Church in November, 1961,
the Oriel Society announced
here.
The society, an international
Catholic cultural organization,
said (Jan. 7) that Lautner re
ceived his religious instruc
tions and First Communion
from Father Vincent Hart,
S.J., of Loyola Seminanry,
Shrub Oak, N. Y.
The Oriel Society stated
that Father Robert Gannon,
S.J., former president of Ford-
ham University, helped lead
Lautner into the Church by
suggesting that he make a re
treat into the summer of 1961
at Loyola Seminary.
Lautner had served as a
member of the Communist
party’s national review com
mission and as a security offi
cer of the party. He also was
assigned to building the par
ty’s underground apparatus in
New York state.
On January 14, 1950, he was
accused of being an FBI agent
and tortured in Cleveland by
communist thugs. He left the
party shortly afterwards. The
torture he suffered is describ
ed in FBI director J. Edgar
Hoover’s book “Masters of De
ceit.”
Since leaving the party he
has worked closely with the
U. S. Governmennt. He is a
consultant to the U. S. Depart
ment of Justice and has been
a witness for the department
in 20 Smith Act conspiracy
and communist party mem
bership cases. He also lectures
for the Oriel, Society on the
techniques and propaganda of
communism.
In a recent letter to Laut
ner, J. Edgar Hoover said: “I
have followed your testimony
in recent years with consider
able interest and you may well
take pride in your contribu
tion to the nation’s welfare
through the part you have
played in the Government’s ef
forts to combat the communist
conspiracy.”
The Oriel Society, composed
of leading speakers from the
United States and Europe hon
ored Lautner at a reception on
January 19 at the Metropoli
tan Club in New York.
Ten years ago the Oriel So
ciety, through its priest mem
bers from the Russian Center
at Fordham University, was
instrumental in leading into
the Church another prominent
name in the Communist party,
Mrs. Hede Massing. She had
served as an international
communist courier and was
the U. S. Government’s star
witness in the second trial of
Alger Hiss, who was convicted
of perjury.

She Learned
A New Word!
TOKYO, Japan — Some
times you can tell children too
much and sometimes too lit
tle. Ask Father Thomas Dowd,
S.S.C., of West Roxbury, Mass.
One day recently he was giv
ing the school children a
“straight - from-the-shoulder”
talk” on classhall crookery, or
copying in the classhall. “Any
one can copy,” said the Colum-
ban missionary. “It is easier to
copy, but . . .”
Within a few weeks the mo
ther of one of the little girls
in the class called on Father
Dowd. She had questioned her
daughter’s 100% paper, which
was far above her average.
When questioned the girl, Fu-
miko by name, had replied,
“But Father said it was easier
to copy, so I did.”
