Men’s Leadership Course At Millen SYLVANIA — Father John Garvey, pastor of Our Lady of Assumption Church in Sylvania has begun conducting a Men’s Leadership Course for all in- interested men in his four- county parish. Meetings are being held at St. Bernadette Catholic Chapel in nearby Mil len, as a site most convenient to the majority of parishioners. The first of seven consecutive sessions was held on Ash Wed nesday and the series will con tinue through Wednesday of Holy Week, meetings beginning promptly at 7:30 p.m. The Leadership Course is one based on a new booklet prepar ed by the Nationally-known Christopher Movement, a non-denomination group having its headquarters in New York under its Founder-Director, Father James Keller, M.M. The booklet, “How You Can Conduct A Small Leadership Group,” is designed to help train the men to think and speak on their feet, to ask and answer questions from the floor at meetings of all kinds, to stim ulate action by positive sugges tions, to run meetings of var ious types, and how to bring spiritual values to a world in need of constructive ideas. Father Garvey hopes that at its conclusion the men attending will have learned how to better get into the mainstream of life those good ideas that God has entrusted to all Christian men. Father welcomes any inquiries as to the course from interest ed readers of the SOUTHERN CROSS.

The Southern Cross, March 23, 1963—PAGE 5 HOUR-LONG TV PROGRAM SCHEDULED FOR EASTER NEW YORK, (NC)—An insid er’s view of the Vatican will be presented on television Easter Sunday, April 14, by the Ameri can Broadcasting Company. Titled “The Vatican,” the one- hour documentary will be tele cast from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., EST. The program will present a typical day at the Vatican, in cluding some scenes never be fore presented on television. The workaday reality of Vati can City, as well as its famous color and pageantry, will be shown. Viewers will visit the stu dios of Vatican Radio where news is broadcast in 32 lan guages, and the offices of L’Osservatore Romano, the Va tican City newspaper. They will view the inside of the Vatican Post Office, where a letter from the U. S. arrives with three cents postage due. The program also features a message from His Holiness Pope John XXIII and shows him on one of his visits outside in the Vatican. A high point of the program is a scene in which the more than 2,000 Fathers of the Sec ond Vatican Council mingle with pilgrims in St. Peter’s square to recite the Angelus with Pope John. The program also will show seminarians at the Ethiopian College in the Vatican chanting the Office in their own language to the rhythmic accompaniment of a drum and a dancing drum mer. On the lighter side, Swiss Guards are shown relaxing with a game of cards before don ning their colorful 15th centu ry uniforms and armor to greet a visiting head of state, and the usually impeccable Sistine choirboys are caught in an off- key moment during a rehear sal. Church history comes alive in a visit to the Vatican treas ury where viewers are shown the richly ornamented vest ments and Mass implements used by popes and cardinals down through the ages. The keeper of the treasury will relate how Napoleon stole everything during the reign of Pope Pius VI, including the magnificent collection of papal tiaras and miters. He then points to a cardboard tiara Pope Pius VII was forced to wear as a result of the theft when he gave his first blessing to crowds in St. Peter’s Square. Napoleon later presented Pope Pius VII with a tiara decorated with many fine jewels—” jew- wels which he already had car ried away from the Vatican-” the keeper of the treasury com ments. There are also visits to the Vatican’s museum and library, and to St. Peter's basilica for a baptism. Father Thomas Stransky C. S. P., an Ameri can Paulist, explains the func tion of the Secretariat for Christian Unity, which is head ed by Augustin Cardinal Bea, S. J. Although filmed in color, the American Broadcasting Com pany has not decided whether “The Vatican” will be telecast in color, because of technical difficulties. The program was produced by the ABC News Special Projects Division. John H. Secondari is executive pro ducer and narrator; Helen Jean Rogers, producer; and Nicholas Webster, director. Savannah Radiator Co. AUTO REPAIRS 315 West Bay Street Savannah, Ga. Commercial Wedding Invitations The Acme Press 1201 LINCOLN STREET PHONE 232-6397 Time Charges Called “Slanderous” CHICAGO, (NC) — Chicago Catholic and Protestant spokes men have challenged a claim by a national magazine that the Ca tholic Church has fought urban renewal here for selfish reasons. Msgr. John Egan, director of the Chicago Archdiocesan Con servation Council, termed the allegation “slanderous.” Three officials of the Church Federation of Greater Chicago said the charge against the Catholic Church was a “great error” and ignored the Catho lic archdiocese’s “significant contribution" to racial justice. Time magazine (March 15), in a cover story on Chicago’s Mayor Richard J. Daley, ac cused the Church of “mount ing campaigns” against Daley’s urban renewal programs. Time offered this explanation for the Church’s attitude: “Daley’s programs remove Negroes from their ghettos, send white residents fleeing, and leave Catholic parish hous es and churches bereft of their congregations — and contribu tions.” Msgr. Egan, in a telegram to Time publisher Henry Luce, called this an “irresponsible assertion.” “Your explicit attribution of racial exclusion motives to the Church's opposition to urban renewal is a serious and in excusable calumny upon the Ca tholic Church and the person of Albert Cardinal Meyer, (Arch bishop of Chicago),” he said. Msgr. Egan charged that Time researchers “failed in both the courtesy and the obligation to consult Church officials who were involved in the Hyde Park controversy.” The reference was to a wide ly publicized controversy over the Hyde Park-Kenwood urban renewal plan, Chicago’s first major neighborhood conserva tion program. The late Samuel Cardinal Stritch, Archbishop of Chicago, and Msgr. Egan were both active in demanding that it include adequate provision for relocation and housing of per sons affected. The Time article quoted Chi cago banker David Kennedy as saying that the Catholic Church “attacked the whole thing.” Kennedy wired the news mag azine that he was quoted inac curately and out of context. “Your reporting distorts the purpose and attitude of the Ca tholic Church regarding the many and varied aspects of urban renewal and development and is indeed unfortunate,” Kennedy said. Joining in the protests were three ministers who are offi cials of the Church Federation of Greater Chicago: the Revs. Edgar Chandler, Douglas Still and Stanley Hallett. Their telegram to Time de clared that the “attack” on the Catholic archdiocese “was bas ed on inaccurate, distorted in formation and failed to give credit to it for the most sig nificant contribution being made to racial justice today: the sup port and leadership to com munity organization efforts which will help Chicago to be come the kind of city in which equal rights and opportunities are assured for all.” Msgr. Egan noted that Cathol ic clergymen, ‘ ’with the encour agement of Cardinal Meyer,” have served on community boards in numerous Chicago ur ban renewal programs. The monsignor is himself a member of the Metropolitan Housing and Planning Council. He said he would “continue to question the specific features of urban renewal programs” when necessary, but he empha sized that his attitude to urban renewal In general is one of “basic support.” Answer To Racism ROCHESTER, N. Y., (NC)— Bishop James E. Kearney of Rochester said here in an Inter racial Sunday observance that what is done about racism “is the ultimate test of our vaunted democratic way of life.” The Bishop said in a sermon in Immaculate 'Conception church that ’ ‘discrimination ba sed on the accidental fact of race or color. . .cannot be reconciled with the truth that God has created all men with equal rights and equal dignity.” The Bishop stated that the race question is a moral and religious issue and cannot be banished by high-sounding words, court action, “or even by the exercise of the virtue of justice alone.” “It can only be conquered,” he said, “by love—true, genu ine love of God and love of neighbor.” In Savannah It’s “Serving You Better . . .
