TEN THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC LAYMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA AUGUST 1957. WORK OF NUNS IN ADMINISTRATIVE POSTS CONSISTENT WITH RELIGIOUS LIFE, HOSPITAL OFFICIAL DECLARES (N.C.W.C. News Service) CINCINNATI.—The work of nuns saddled with administrative jobs such as running a hospital or orphanage is consistent with religious life, Jesuit Father John J. Flanagan, executive director of the Catholic Hospital Associa tion, emphasized here. Father Flanagan said to con clude that such administrators are “not as truly religious as the teacher or the nurse” is “most erroneous.” He spoke at the fifth Conference on Business Problems ©f Catholic Institutions sponsored by Xavier University. Nearly 100 officials of institutions in 19 states — mostly nuns — took part in the three-day program. The work of administrators is “a necessary part of the apostolic mission of any religious- institu tion, of any religious order and of the Church itself,” Father Flanagan declared. “Administration is to be frown ed upon only when it is poorly done—when it is not as Catholic, not as efficient and progressive as other phases of the work of a religious group,” Father Flanagan said. He explained that “old-fash ioned techniques” are not “more Catholic” and that “archaic pro cedures do not connote virtue.” He urged institution officials to PROTECTION FOR YOU Jim.

Tenth St. TR. 4-6321 “incorporate modern administra tive devices and techniques into the apostolic objective of our Catholic institutions.” He stres sed: “We should be as modern and up-to-date as our particular type of organization demands.” Father Flanagan declared the highest priority in modernizing administration techniques should be in the “area of accounting.” He said that “we sometimes at tempt to manage large institu- ions with millions of dollars in volved, and fail to make use of good accounting techniques.” There should be up-to-date pro cedure in purchasing, Father Flanagan said. He emphasized that there is a “heavy responsi bility” in that field which only “a trained Religious or lay per son can handle.” He said that the personal field is “completely new and unexplored for most of us.” “Administrators and superiors have a moral obligation to han dle personnel problems in the most efficient and just way pos sible,” Father Flanagan said. “Well managed institutions pro tect the assets of our religious orders.” When institutions are well managed, more funds are made available for charity and mission ary work, Father Flanagan said. Such institutions “reflect the right order and peace of soul which should characterize the re ligious life,” Father Flanagan said, and “they manifest to stu dents, patients and the public that Catholics can be business like and also good Religious.” Home Cooked Meols COLONIAL GRILL HOMEMADE PIES ihai are out of this world for goodness and taste!
