The procession was led by the school children, followed by each parish organization and the parishoners. Rosary was led by Father George Yiengst, and hymns were sung by the Faithful. Our Blessed Mother’s sta tue was crowned by eighth grad er, Patricia Slack. Her court of honor were the other eighth grade girls:—Anita Stark, Eliz abeth Slater, Gayle Donnelly, Mary Jo Nijem, Susan Nolan, and Janice Joseph. At the conclusion of the Pro cession Father Thomas Payne, Pastor of St. John’s broke ground for the $97,000.00 addi tion to the school, to be com pleted in September. The Prin cipal of St. John’s School, Sis ter Mary Pauline, C.S.J., and the head of each parish or ganization, assisted Father Payne in the ground-breaking ceremonies. As the cars left the school grounds, Father Payne blessed each one. Pope John’s motto was “Obe- dientia et Pax” (Obedience and Peace). It is painted over the door of the farm house where he was born on November 25,1881, in the village of Sotto il Monte in the Bergamo province in northern Italy.

The years in passing do not come easier, despite the poet, (Sister Madel- eva) who writes: “Perhaps my eyes are still a little wet; per haps my heart may still a little fret. Detachment is the stuff of sunderings. Time, so they tell me, is a brave asset.” Most who grieve do so in the quiet of their rooms or in a darkened chapel, I am not ashamed to weep pub licly for such grief is common to all men who love. Tender are the scripture stories of mo thers’ weeping over the death of their children; is it not un derstandable that a child should weep for her mother? Never was I able during Lent to make the way of the Cross without chok ing with emotion at the Station where Christ meets His mother for the last time and again when His body is plaqed in her arms. Certainly the meditation is for those legion like myself to take heart and hope. And one of the beatitudes is aimed at us, too: "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted” and there is no time element of one week or a hundred years. Sometimes, too, we follow more closely from afar as we keep faith with out dear dead. * * * ONE LIVES while the one who gave birth dies to all that she had known and loved—the com ing of springtime, fresh cut flowers, blue skies, sunsets, the Warsaw concerto, candle light, nice linen, fine china— and most of all goodness. The loss cuts sharp anew when com ing like an intruder into a fam ily circle still secure with the mother tenderly and affection ately at the center. A moment of quick longing as the daughters come into that embrace, inti mate, warm. There is a heart in these homes in Brighton and on Sheldon and Chase Streets in Providence where I visit and all is right with the world because the mother is there and all the grown-up bruises and scratches and fevers can be soothed now as when they were very young. Children are always children to God, too. Someone once told me that the mother-child relation- MARRIAGES ECKERT-FIELDING SAVANNAH - Miss Marilyn Louise Fielding, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John H.

McDonough, Bishop of Savannah, paid a visit to the Naval Air Station in Glynco, Georgia. His Excellency came to officiate in the Confirmation of 21 Navy children and adults.

One can see the importance of the ideal re lationship. It is two years since I saw the face, heard the voice— the day we said goodbye and “memory, how you do aid me and abet? Time closes round me with impalable net.” Des pite the pain of loss, I do not mourn in protest but from weak ness love can give the tribute that all who mourn experience. Though the years are many and long, the promise and bond of love is eternal. BABY PARTY climaxes Hospital Week at St. Francis Hospital, Columbus.
