THE CCD
(Continued from Page One)
olic Women had, for several years
sponsored discussion clubs and fo
rums. Subjects of study and dis
cussion ranged from Community
Welfare to Church History. These
organized groups were a signifi
cant influence in the development
of a general program of adult ed
ucation. Then the Bishop of the
diocese decided to wage a cam
paign in every parish to combat
religious ignorance with religious
knowledge through religious dis
cussion clubs. All Catholic men’s
and women’s societies were asked
to collaborate. Spiritual forces of
the diocese were mobilized, new
approaches were tried, non-join
ers and inactive parishioners were
invited to participate in the pro
gram and see how simple, yet how
profitable planned discussion
could become. Prospective discus
sion club members had to be con
tacted and registered, meeting
places provided. Transportation
had to be made available for those
who needed it. Existing' societies
co-operated and supplied these
needs, along with becoming par
ticipants in the adult religious ed
ucation program. And many so
cieties as “One body in Christ,
but severally members of one an
other,” in a concerted effort en
rolled nearly 7,000 . persons in
more than 700 small groups, first
of all to talk about religion and
secondly to work at translating
truths into action and principles
into practice. There is no reason
why a like co-operation in our
Diocese can not bring about simi
lar results—no reason why like
co-operation in our Diocese can
not enable us to reach twice the
number of Catholic Public school
children now receiving religious
instruction.
If the Church in Georgia and
throughout the world is to grow—
if Christ is to be carried into the
home and the market place, into
the factory and the office, into
business and politics, then He
must be carried there by informed
Catholics. He must be carried
there by Catholics who have a
thorough knowledge of the Teach
ings of Christ, and the will and
Apostolic Spirit to let their light
“Shine before all men, so that
they may see your good works
and glorify your Father Who is in
Heaven.” Plan to attend the forth
coming Congress. Remember it in
your prayers. Fill out the regis
tration blank, to be found in this
issue of The Bulletin, and mail it
as soon as possible. Be a Lay-
Apostle.
