to examine it to see if it wouldn’t
mean as much to me as it did
to him.
| “Naturally I wanted to know
as mcuh as possible about the
Religion of the man I was like
ly to marry, so I went to Holy
'■Trinity Recotry in East Chi
cago, where I received a com
plete course of instruction.
Steve came with me and ex
plained many things about the
Faith and its practice. I was
impressed by the marvelous
unity of the Church: one in
doctrine, worship, discipline,
and in the acknowledgment of
the supreme authority of the
pope.
I “Jesus had stamped His
Church with the mark of unity
to distinguish it from all the
sects founded by men. He
gpoke of His Church as one
family, one fold, one city, one
kingdom. He built it upon one
foundation, the rock, which is
Peter. He pra ed for the unity
of all His followers: ‘Holy Fa
ther, keep them in thy name
which thou hast given me; that
they may be one, even as we
are’ (John 7:11).
“This marvelous unity is
safeguarded by the infallible
teaching authority of the popes,
the successors of St. Peter.
I was received into the Church
and we were married at a
Nuptial Mass. God blessed us
with five children. We reared
them in an atmosphere of
faith, reverence and prayer.
The family rosary was recited
each evening in our home. My
great joy has been to hear Mass
and receive Holy Communion
daily.
“Three of our sons are
priests: Father John, superin
tendent of St. Joseph’s High
School, South Bend; Father
George , chaplain of the

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - An
increased desire for truth co-
i exists today on the American
I college campus with the old
cynicism and apathy, Arch
bishop Paul J. Hallinan of At
lanta, Ga., said here.
Archbishop Hallinan told the
national Newman Club Federa
tion convention that “the agnos
tic is still walking corridors,
pastor of Holy Trinity Church
where I was married. One of
our two daughters is Sister
Elizabeth Clare of the Sisters
of Providence. Never can I
sufficiently thank God for the
gift of faith and for so many
religious vocations.”
(Father O’Brien will be glad
to have converts send their
names and addresses to him
at Notre Dame University, No
tre Dame, Indiana, so he may
write up their conversion
stories.)
but he is no longer the campus
idol.”
“Young American minds are
beginning to realize that a man
who keeps saying, 'I don't know’
can hardly be considered an
intellectual. He will eventually
be considered a bore,” said
Archbishop Hallinan, national
episcopal moderator of the
Newman movement.
He said the task facing New
man Clubs today is the same
task that faced the pioneer club
in 1893—to reach Catholic stu
dents and help them become
vigorous leaders of the lay
apostolate.
“The difference today is this:
both the Church and the uni
versity world expect that these
tasks will be done. Never has
the Newman role been more
clearly defined—never has it
had the support it is getting
today,” he added.
Author and educator Russell
Kirk told the convention that
literature’s importance in
shaping society makes its re
vival in the university impera
tive.

COLOGNE, Germany, (NC) -

bishop of Cologne, has given two
bells to the church in the re

lay in reparation for the

Warns Of
4 Selfishness,
Coldness’
WASHINGTON, (NC) - The
National Conference of Catho
lic Charities has warned of a
“fast - spreading selfishness
and coldness” in the public
attitude toward charity.
As examples the conference
cited the attitude that regards
all welfare recipients as
"chiselers,” the controversial
Newburgh, N. Y., welfare pro
gram, and appeals for the Com
munity Chest and United Fund
that stress the advantage to the
giver in contributing.
A statement issued at con
ference headquarters here said
that “if there is to be a re
newal of Christian life among
the people there must be a
renewal of charity.”
"The generosity and warmth
of charity is giving way to a
fast-spreading selfishness and
coldness,” it said.
The statement was issued in
connection with the upcoming
48th annual convention of the
Conference of Catholic Chari
ties, to be held September 14
to 18 in Atlantic City, N. J.,
in conjunction with the national
meetings of the St. Vincent de
Paul Society and the Associa
tion of Ladies of Charity.
The statement added:
“It is at least partially a
lack of the spirit of charity
that looks upon all recipients
of public assistance as chise
lers, that has given-birth to
the spirit which underlines the
Newburgh (N. Y.) program, and
that bases the appeal of Com
munity Chest and United Fund
drives on what the giver might
expect as a return from his
contribution.
“There is also a lamentable
lack of charity at the root of
so many of our economic and
social programs. Integration,
technological unemployment,
breakdown of family life, ju
venile delinquency—all these
must feel the influence of
charity before solutions can be
found.”

ing for lay teachers for the
