COLUMBUS DEANERY- of Albany, Catholic (Continued from Page 1) Tommy McGoldrick, Macon, vocational; Joe Dembowski of Warner Robins, Confraternity of the Laity; Leo Lenoard, Col umbus, Catholic Action; and Bishop McDonough’s Utter On Ecumenical Council (Continued from Page 1) Church is committed under God to bring His love to all mankind - and the love of God must prevail. Very shortly, God willing, I will leave for Rome to attend the Second Vatican Council. As your Bishop, I will be privileged to be in the presence of Our Holy Father and the unprecent- ed gathering of Bishops from all over the world. As your duly authorized representative, I will have a voice in the sessions of the Council. To me, outside of my ordination to the Sacred Priesthood, this is the most important moment of my life. Again, I beg your prayers to the end that the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth, will guide me in my decisions. For you and for me the Council represents the beginning of a new epoc in the life of the Church. Please pray daily for the Holy Father and for all the Bishops. Your esteemed Pastor has received a special communication from me, wherein I outlined special devotions which should be practiced during the period of the Council. Over and over again I stress attendance at daily Mass and the frequent reception of Holy Communion. Our Faith was ennobled by Christ’s death on the Cross. In what better way can we live it than by a deep love of the Mass, wherein the merits of the Cross accrue to each one of us. Unless we are spiritual; unless we are lovers of God; unless we practice our faith with regularity, how can we attain our promised and cherished goal - heaven for all eternity. My dear people, I have been privileged to address you many times during the past five years. This occasion is, without question, the one that I cherish most. My dedication as your Bishop has been a happy one, because you have never failed me. My priests and religious, and revered sisters, willingly and sacrifically have responded to my directives. You can, therefore, understand the joy that is in my heart as I leave for Rome, the center of Christendom, strengthened by your devotion and your prayers. Pope John XXIII has called for prayer and sacrifice. We shall not fail him in returning to Our Eucharistic King the measure of our gratitude, overflowing in thanksgiving for our great gift of Faith. Sacrifice and prayers, to Catholics, are synonymous with a pure and holy life. Sacrifice and prayers connote our spiritual passport to heaven. The Second Vatican Council can become the vibrant occasion for the Church, to bring all men to the knowledge of God through our holy faith. All of us praying together will reap a great harvest for Holy Mother Church and for the spiritual sustenance of our souls. We beg the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Eternal Truth, to renew the face of the earth, and turn all hearts towards the tabernacle of love, wherein resides Our Eucharistic King. Begging once more your prayers for my journey to the Vicar of Christ on earth, and assuring you of a daily memento in the Masses which I shall offer in the Eternal City, I am, with my bounteous blessings, Devotedly yours in Christ, thomas j. McDonough Bishop of Savannah.

Bishop Thomas J. Mc Donough stressed the need for this organization and stated that "he had hoped for and planned on the organization of the Bi shop’s Council since he became Bishop of this diocese." His Excellency stated that * ‘the Church needs the compe tent advice of such men from so many walks of life, and that he depends upon the laity to offset the shortage of priests and nuns - that our total dedi cation can overcome our lack of numbers. . .that our church is the very fibre of our exis tence and is our passport to Heaven. Men must be active in spiritual work just as the ’women are." His Excellency advised that a well-informed laity is the best spiritual ammunition in the world and that we should think with and about the Church and complimented the work already being done through such organi zations as St. Vincent de Paul, Legion of Mary, and by per forming Corporal Works of Mercy." Let us move mountains so that all people may'see God. and love thy neighbor as thy self for the love of God. Be laymen who will gain Heaven by their time spent on earth knowing, loving and serving God," he urged. Msgr. Toomey, spiritual moderator, explained the duties of each committee chairman and elaborated on how this new Council could serve. Msgr. Toomey stated that this Coun cil was entering into a federa tion with present groups and was not another organization to join.

This Council, under the leadership of the Bishop, offers opportunity for work in Catholic Action and Catholic Life," he said. Dr. J. L. Cassidy, in accep ting his appointment as presi dent, asked other officers and chairmen to join him with vim and vigor in undertaking the Bishop’s Council of Men.

"They represent a ray of blessed hope in a world which, too often and in too many places shows only a patronizing con tempt for God’s poor and im patience and exasperation with His sick poor. "And though the world pass es them by, in acknowledging its heroes," he said, "surely Our Blessed Lord will not. And His Infinite Love and Grace will certainly be poured out on those who unselfishly serve the objects of His predilection, the sick and the poor."

"We shall offer suggestions which various of your groups may find helpful, both in carry ing forth your own established aims and programs, and in co operating with other parish groups in the one cause we all serve, that of Christ and His Holy Church." He called for a greater in tensification of personal spirit ual life, nothing that "most of us, though we devote 40 and more hours per week to labor for earthly reward, - and many hours for our personal enjoy ment, scarcely devote more than one hour per week for the Glory of God, the Cause of Christ, and the eternal re ward which God promises to all who love Him and do His will.” Citing ignorance about the animosity toward the Catholic Church, the growing menace of immoral literature on news stands, social injustice, and "the need to bring the Church to those in far flung areas of our Diocese who cannot get to the Church", Bishop Mc Donough declared that "The Church cannot effectively carry out its mission of bringing the Light of Christ’s Gospel and the strength of His Grace to men, without the organized, in telligent, willing, and dedicated work of a spiritually minded laity."

After outlining a brief history of the Society, almost 700 years old, Father McCarthy declared that "Every man here should ask himself the question, "Do I influence the world more than the world influences me?" "The Holy Name Society can help you to influence the world in the Name of Christ," he said. ‘ ‘It offers a program which provides admirably for the three great needs of Apostle- ship - Education in the Faith, what it means and how it stands on our lives; Organization, without which our efforts at self-sanctification and apostol ic activity lacks the strength of unity; and above all, a practi cal program of Devotion to God in daily living."
