CCD - Value Of
Workshops—
(Continued from Page One)
respective fields has gained
them national recognition. It is
so essential that those who plan
to attend the Convention and
Congress should register in ad
vance for some one particular
workshop. This can be done by
dropping a" note to Monsignor
McNamara, General Chairman of
the Convention and Congress. If
one has not registered by mail
with Monsignor McNamara’s of
fice at 222 East Harris Street,
Savannah, then they should ex
press their preference at the
Registration. Desk in the Gen
eral Oglethorpe Hotel upon ar
rival for the joint meeting.
The many activities of the
Confraternity of Christian Doc
trine, which will be spelled out
in terms of Workshops, are so
many challenges to our Georgia
laymen and laywomen in their
desire to see the objective of
the Laymen’s Association full}'
implemented.
In an article of this length it
is impossible to go into detail
about each workshop. In the
current issue of THE BULLETIN
it is of the \yorkshop on Lay
Catechists we would speak’
briefly. In a subsequent article
a description of the other Work
shops will be given.
Recently Bishop Joseph Gil
more of Helena, Montana, ad
dressing the CCD Diocesan Di
rectors, said that the greatest
specific challenge facing the
Church in America today is the
millions of Catholic children in
public schools, who are receiv
ing either inadequate Religious
Instruction, or no Religious In
struction at all. Bishop Gilmore
went on further to say that pop
ulation gains have so inundated
the existing schools, that the
CCD’s religious instruction pro
gram has taken on the nature
of a survival plan. How neces
sary then the Lay Catechist to
supplement the work of priest,
brother and sister. At first
thought the average layman
would fight shy at becoming a
Lay Catechist, a teacher of Re
ligion, and rightly so, if not pre
pared. The Lay Catechist Work
shop points the way, allays fears,
inspires confidence and instills
enthusiasm for this truly neces
sary apostolate on the part of
our laity.
This Workshop on Lay Catech
ists and the other Workshops as
well should make of our 40th
Annual Laymen’s Association one
memorable in the annuals of-our
organization. If you have not al
ready registered for the Conven
tion and Congress do so at once
by clipping' the Registration
Blank from the current issue of
THE BULLETIN and sending it.
properly filled out to the Gen
eral Chairman, Monsignor Mc
Namara. In the meanwhile keep
the Convention and Congress in
your prayers, asking God that
our Diocese of Savannah-Atlanta
might reap the great fruit their
program holds out to the Church
in Georgia.
