Pontiff Urges Catholics
To Provide Spiritual Aid,
Technical Aid To Emigrants
VATICAN CITY, (NC)—His
Holiness Pope John XXIII has
asked Catholics to provide
"deep religious formation and
an adequate technical and cul
tural training’’ for emigrants
so that they may become full-
fledged members of the new
society in which they live.
The Pope’s appeal for a
fuller refugee and emigrant
program was made in a special
audience he granted to 5,000
former refugees and emigrants
who came to Rome to comme
morate the 10th anniversary of
the Apostolic Constitution Exsul
Familia. This papal document
of Pope Pius XII gives norms
for the spiritual care of emi
grant families.
Pope John joyrneyed from his
summer residence at Castel-
gandolfo to be with the pil
grims, who were attending a
special Mass in St. Peter’s
basilica offered (August 5) by
Paolo Cardinal Marella, arch
priest of the Vatican basilica.
ALAPAHA
ALTAR SOCIETY
ALAPAHA - St. Ann’s Altar 1
Society met August 3rd, imme
diately following the First Fri
day Mass.
Following the business meet
ing the group honored Father
Gerald Flater, O.M.I. who is
leaving the end of August for
a new assignment in Toledo.
Spread before the Pope’s
throne were hundreds of gifts,
many of them Eastern Rites
vestments donated by the Pil
grims. Among them was a large
candle wrapped in barbed wire,
a symbol of the persecution be
hind the Iron Curtain from which
the pilgrims had fled.
Pope John recalled the
flight of the Holy Family into
Egypt and said the memory of
the journey should be a comfort
to thousands who even today are
being forced to leave their
homes to live in alien lands.
Noting that the Church has
always been concerned with the
problem of emigration, the Pope
added: "The phenomenon of
nomadism is increasing today
and creates constantly greater
demands, hence the concern of
the Church which follows con
stantly the social transforma
tion of the times."
The Pope then called attention
to the encyclical Ad Petri Ca-
thedram of June, 1959, in which
he asserted: "We feel no less
anxiety for the plight of those
who because of the urgent nec
essity of seeking a living, or
because of the sad conditions
in their homeland, or even be
cause of persecution on religi
ous grounds are forced to emi
grate from their fatherland."
Although emigrants some
times pose delicate problems
for the host countries, the Pope
said, they also contribute by
their technical skill to the pro
ductive and economic advantage
of their new homelands.
Pope John said "efforts must
be unified to give emigrants a
more profound religious for
mation and an adequate tech
nical and cultural training which
can help them to become
members of the new society."
The Pope also showed aware
ness of the problem of migra
tion within the limits of one
country.
"Another problem that in
creases constantly," he said,
"is that of internal migration
of workers, that is from one
area to another, from one city
to another. There is a need for
a link between the parishes from
which they come and the
parishes of their new destina
tion, and for accurate informa
tion regarding the different pro
blems inherent in organization,
in brotherly hospitality and in
the collaboration of the Catho
lic laity."
Pope John called for many
more priests to dedicate them
selves to problems of emigrants
and for concerted action to in
clude emigrants within the reli
gious and social framework of
their new background.
He also promised that the
Second Vatican Council will
make its views known on pro
blems of emigration.

ST. CLARE’S TO
PAINT CHURCH
ALBANY - For the last month the members of St.
Clare’s Church, backed with newspaper and radio ad
vertising have been busy selling tickets for their Ice
August 19th. The tickets cost 25<£ and the members have
a thousand tickets to sell.
A group of seventeen ladies and one man, all expert
cake bakers, are each donating one homemade cake to
go with the dish of ice cream which one ticket will buy.
The social will take place on the front lawn of the
beautiful mission church and will be served from 3:30
until 5:30 in the evening. The proceeds will be used to
paint and caulk the outside of the church.
Protestants, Jews Expected
At Seattle Liturgical Week
SEATTLE, Wash., (NC) -
Many Protestant and Jewish
churchmen are expected to at
tend the 23rd North American
Liturgical Week here at the
World’s Fair, August 20 to
23.
Father William Treacy, di
recting the meeting’s liaison
with Protestants and Jews, said
that priests of the Episcopal
diocese of Olympia and local
Lutheran ministers have been
urged by their denominational
leaders to attend.
In addition, he said, invi
tations'have been mailed by his
office to priests, ministers and
rabbis of all denominations in
Seattle and Vancouver, British
Columbia.
Father Treacy said there
have been so many requests by
non-Catholics for copies of the
speeches scheduled at the Lit
urgical Week that tape record
ings will be made and distrib
uted later.
VATICAN FIREMAN must be Jack-of-all-trades - A member of
the 17-man Vatican fire brigade combines the duties of a fireman with
those of a nightwatchman, plumber, electrician, elevator repairman and
stone-mason --to name a few extracurricular duties. Besides standing
guard behind the papal throne at every public function to repairing statuary
and unplugging sewers, the Vatican fireman is trained to fight fires of every
type, and at a moments notice. Seven men and a brigadier are constantly
on call at the Vatican. At left, a group of firemen check the location of
fire hydrants on a large map in the Vatican firehouse. A fireman and Va
tican gendarme (center) make their twice-daily round of all Vatican build
ings. At right, firemen check a statue for cracks in order to prevent the
hazard of falling pieces. - (NC Photos)
'Can I Win Friends For
God And His Church’
I can win friends for God
and His Church in many ways
but the first and most essen
tial one is that I myself must
be a good friend of God and
His Holy Church. For before
one can gain friends he must
first of all be a good friend
himself. As a member of His
Holy Catholic Church, I am
already God’s friend, but I can
make myself more worthy of
this wonderful and special pri
vilege by loving, honoring and
praising Him and especially by
keeping His commandments.
Since good friends visit each
other I must keep my soul
pure and clean so that when
I invite Him into it by receiv
ing the sacrament of Holy Eu
charist, He will want to dwell
with me awhile and later He
will invite me to visit Him in
His glorious and heavenly home.
If I practice all these duties
of a loving friend and there
by prove that I am truly God’s
friend, I can then begin win
ning more friends for God and
His Church.
"Go forth and teach ye all
nations." With these meaningful
words Jesus Christ, Son of
God instructed His apostles to

teach all nations and make them
the friends of Him and His
Church. By heeding His words
as did the apostles, I too, can
win friends for Him. First of
all I can tell those who do
do not yet know that Jesus
Christ is the one and only
true God, the Supreme Being,
the Father of the whole human
race. I can also tell them that
He founded the Catholic Church
as a necessary means of sal
vation and that they are com
manded to be connected with it
in some way in order to be
saved. After I have related
these true, and important facts
to them I must still go on and
instruct them more so that
they may be fully ready and
willing to believe in God and
become His friends.
In the world today Com
munism, which teaches false
doctrines about God and His
Church, is steadily thriving.
The people are confused by
dirty, lying literature that is
being sold and distributed
throughout the country. I can
win friends for God and His
Church by seeing that this
literature is stopped from being
distributed. To do this I must
buy more good Catholic books
and papers, and urge dealers
to sell only good literature.
After I read these decent pam
phlets and papers I can pass
them on to non-Catholic friends
so that I could show them and
afterwards they may see for
themselves the truth about the
one God Jesus Christ and that
after my thorough explanations
of the facts they will be con
vinced that the Catholic Church
is truly the key to their sal
vation.
Although I do all the things
I mentioned before, there are
still many many more things
that I could do to win friends
for God and His Church; for
example I can urge fallen away
Catholics who have at one time
been friends of God, to come
back to their Mother the Church,
receive the sacraments and

REV. WILLIAM

REV. CHARLES
J. RETHANS
August 26, 1951
Oh God, Who didst give to
thy servants by their sacredotal
office, a share in the priest
hood of the Apostles, grant,
we implore, that they may
also be one of their company
forever in heaven. Through
Christ Our Lord, Amen.
Even though I only use one
of these many ways of winning
friends for God, I am sure
that the grace, and strength
of my Almighty Father will
shine through me to help me
find more courage and perse
verance to continue in my force
ful task of winning more and
more friends for God so that
others may share in wonderful
bliss of being friends of the
Supreme Being, God and of His
one, Holy and Catholic, Aposto
lic Church.

manual labor to build roads

the peasantry.
"This," he stated, "is a
positive example of what can
be done in the sphere of social
evolution, which is plainly more
fruitful than ‘revolution.’ The
Marxist revolution attempts
everything but the social ele
vation of the people. Europe,
China and Cuba prove that."
He said the Cuban regime
of Marxist Premier Fidel Cas
tro is a last warning to the
people of Latin America, and
added:
"It is necessary that Catho
lics undertake with daring and
courage the development and
coordination of their activities.
If the Catholic Young Workers,
Catholic business leaders, the
Catholic Farm Youth and the
intellectuals and university stu
dents of Pax Romana join their
efforts in all fields toward a
united, advanced planning, they
will attract people’s attention
and also that of political
leaders. Then such plans could
change into the ‘evolution’ that
would far outdistance the‘revo
lution’."
again be friends of their Eternal
Father. I can also bring my
own friends to Mass with me
so that by participating in the
greatest act of love and sacri
fice they may be convinced that
they do want to belong to His
Holy Church an d be His privi
leged friends. I can per
form acts of mercy and charity
and other good works so that
my good example will reflect
credit on God and His Church,
whose teachings I firmly be
lieve.
The week, to be held in the
arena on the grounds of the
World's Fair, will be devoted
to discussions of the official
public worship of the Catholic
Church. More than 4,000 per
sons are expected.
Rev. Walfred Erickson, min
ister of the Clyde Hill Baptist
Church and dean of the Lay
School of Theology for the
Seattle Council of Churches,
said that "the program, with
its focus on Christian hope,
promises emphasis upon doc- V
trine and biblical theology which
must surely interest all Christ
tains.”
"Ecumenically concerned
Protestants will see in the
sessions an opportunity to
sample the intellectual life of
Roman Catholicism and to
understand better their Catholic
bretheren," he said.
