New Bishop
PASSAIC, N. J. (NC)—The
Apostolic Delegate will en
throne the first bishop of the
newly created Byzantine Rite
Eparchy of Passaic on Septem
ber 10.
Minneapolis-born Bishop Ko-
cisko has been serving since
1956 as Auxiliary Bishop of the
Pittsburgh Byzantine Rite Ex
archate, formerly the sole ec
clesiastical division for the
nearly 300,000 members of the
rite in the United States.
The Pittsburgh exarchate,
which held mission status in the
eyes of the Church, was founded
in 1924. On July 31, when the
Passaic See was established and
Bishop Kocisko named as its
head, Pittsburgh also was made
an eparchy, giving the rite two
regular dioceses in the nation.
Bishop Kocisko was ordained
In Rome in 1941. He served as
pastor of St. Stephen’s Church
in Detroit from 1941 to 1947.
He also served at St. John’s
Church, Lyndora, Pa. From
1949 until 1956 he taught at SS.
Cyril and Methodius Seminary,
Pittsburgh, and held diocesan
posts.
Very Rev. Lawrence F.
Lyons, S.S.E., alumnus of
St. Michael’s College, staffed
by the Edmunite Fathers at
Winooski Park, Vt., will
head the first group of the
order’s missionaries to go to
South America. A native of
Pittsfield, Mass., and super
ior of St. Edmund’s Semin
ary, Burlington, Vt., he has
been assigned to Caracas,
Venezuela. The Edmunite
Fathers are observing their
120th anniversary as mis
sionaries and have staffed
Negro missions in the South
for the past 25 years. (NC

Education Seen As
Solution Of Race Situation
MILWAUKEE, (NC) — A Ca
tholic bishop advocated here
that education be preferred over
demonstrations and violence in
working for a solution of
the race crisis.
Bishop Charles P. Greco of
Alexandria, La., Supreme
Chaplain of the Knights of Col
umbus, said education should
be conducted on a two-way
street.
In an interview during the K.
of C. Supreme’ Council annual
convention (Aug. 17 to 21) here,
the Bishop said he had recom
mended education and a change
in attitude toward racial segre
gation in a recent (August 4)
pastoral read in all churches
in his diocese.

the pastoral he urged that the
education be dispensed for both
whites and Negroes. He stress
ed: “The white man has
to be convinced that the Negro
is a child of God and a fellow
citizen with equal rights, and
therefore, we have to treat him
as such.”
He added that the Negro has
to be educated to “elevate him
self so that he can merit ac
ceptance as did other people and
nationalities in the course of
the development of our Amer
ican nation.”
Bishop Greco said there are
several interreligious and
interracial groups in Shreve
port, La., largest city in his
diocese, “which are aware of
the disturbances becoming de
veloped everywhere.”
“These groups discuss and
work out the problems and the
possibilities of having business
people and civic leaders agree
to give rights to the Negro,”
he said.
The Bishop said his pastoral
had been well received. He said
it was the first pastoral devoted
to the racial problem and “I
felt my people were ready for
some major directive.”
Bishop Greco heads a diocese
which has 85,000 Catholics in a
total population of more than
one million persons. He estim
ated the Catholic population in
cludes about 9,000 Negroes.
None of the parochial schools
in his diocese are integrated.
Negro children in Catholic seg
regated schools number 3,000
out of the total 12,000parochial
school population.
“I had planned for sometime
to give a directive to the people
of my diocese so that they form
attitudes regarding social ques
tions that concern us today,”
he said, referring to thepastor-
al letter.
Bishop Greco said he “want
ed to give a background of the
past, explaining how the
attitudes of our own people as
well as others came into being.”
He said the "present genera
tion had nothing to do with these
attitudes . The attitudes of the
past were based on decrees of
the courts as well as the sit-

K. Of C. Supreme Council
Reaffirms Support Of Equal
Federal School Legislation
MILWAUKEE, Wis., (NC)—
The Supreme Council of the
Knights of Columbus reaffirm
ed here its appeal that F ederal
aid to education proposals
should have equal benefits for
all school children.
Readopting a resolution from
its 1962 Boston convention, the
supreme council said the Fed
eral Constitution permits aid to
private, nonprofit schools in
proportion to the public function
they perform.
It said benefits may be given
as matching grants or long
term loans to institutions, the
providing of jtextbooks and non
religious equipment, scholar
ships, tuition payments, tax
benefits or in some otherform.
In other resolutions, the su
preme council of the fraternal
benefit society of Catholic men
called for passage of a Senate
bill to make Columbus Day a
national legal holiday; urged a
Christmas stamp symbolizing
the Nativity; encouraged local
councils to combat obscene lit
erature and movies and reaf
firmed its support of the words,
“under God,” in the Pledge of
Allegiance to the flag. The
words, originally included
largely through efforts of the
Knights, face a legal attack.
The supreme council also
urged local councils to arrange
for the recitation of the Pledge
of Allegiance on radio and tele
vision stations on the Fourth of
July.
President Kennedy, in a mes
sage to the convention, said that
the Knights have "a very im
portant part” to play in the
"common task” of the nation to
extend “equal opportunity and
full and unimpaired rights for
all our citizens.”
The Chief Executive said:
"The Knights of Columbus
have always been active in the
unending struggle to preserve
our free institutions and to ex
tend the boundaries of human
justice.
"We are living at a time
when it is most urgent for every
American to pledge anew his
’devotion to the fundamental
principles which have sustained
this nation. Our deeds in the
days ahead in extending equal
opportunity 'and full and unim
paired rights for all our citi
zens will do much to reveal
our heart and conscience.
“The Knights of Columbus,
who play an important part in
the spiritual and civic life of
communities throughout this
country, have a very important
part to play in this great com
mon task.”
His Holiness Pope Paul VI

praised the "zeal, generosity
and industry of the Knights of

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (NC) —
A president of the World Coun
cil of Churches suggested here
that Protestants and Catholics
issue joint declarations in the
social justice sphere.
“There is no reason why
Catholics cannot join Protest

items as a test ban.treaty and
certain social questions,” said
Dr. David G. Moses, who is
also president of the Asian
Christian Churches.
Dr. Moses made the
statement here prior to the
opening (Aug. 26) of a policy
meeting of the council’s cen
tral committee.
He said, however, that "the
ologically it will be very diffi
cult for Protestants and Catho

PHILADELPHI A—Christ
comes to downtown Philadelphia
every Saturday morning when
members of the Catholic Infor
mation Center’s Legion of Mary
set up their book barrow at one
of the city’s busiest intersec
tions.
The Legion of Mary, a lay
apostolic group which aims at
direct spiritual contact with
souls, usually specializes in the
work of house-to-house visita
tion. The “downtown legion
aries,” however, bring Christ
to the marketplace in their
contacts with Saturday shoppers
and tourists at the corner of
Philadelphia’s Broad and
Chestnut Streets.
The book barrow, an apostolic
instrument developed by Irish
Catholic Actionists, is a porta
ble book and pamphlet rack of
Catholic literature designed to
inform Catholics and non-
Catholics alike of the Church’s
teachings.
The legionaries report that
their "customers” at the book
barrow include the curuous, the
troubled, and many sincerely
interested inquirers.
"Aren’t you embarrassed,”
asked one lady, "talking about
God in the middle of Broad
Street?”
Others express pleasant sur
prise that Catholics are emulat
ing the "street corner aposto-
late” of the Pentecostal sects.
In their first 10 months of
religious contacts with the
"man on the street,” the le
gionaries report 1,260 conver
sations with passers-by—in
cluding 789 Catholics and 581
non-Catholics of varying shades
of belief and disbelief.
Less than one per cent of
those they approach have been
hostile, the legionaries state.
Much of the good will, they feel,
is attributable to the warm cli
mate of ecumenism fostered by
the late Pope John XXIII.
Questions the legionaries
meet range from the Catholic
position on birth control to
the nature and value of confes
sion. Many inquiries are made
regarding devotion to the Bless
ed Mother.
The legionaries, however, do
not wait for inquirers to come
to them. Window shoppers and
others in no apparent hurry are
approached with the disarming
introduction, "May we talk with
you for a few moments? We
are Catholics and members of
Christ.
"You must recognize the de
mands and you cannot fail to
meet the opportunity. Do not
rest on the laurels you have
accumulated, but take time now
for a new look at self and work
and evaluate it.”
In elections to the board of
directors, Supreme Knight Luke
•E. Hart and five others were
unanimously reelected. The
others are: Francis Fauteux of
Montreal; Charles J. Morgan of
Chicago; Henry J. Kondrat of
the Legion of Mary.”
The conversation which fol
lows is always courteous and
notable for the absence of con
troversy. The legionaries are
instructed to terminate the con
versation graciously atthefirst
sign of annoyance or argument.
Pat On Back For
SAN FRANCISCO, (NC) —
A pat on the back for the
"tremendous job” being done
by Father Patrick O’Connor,

Hard announced that the 82nd
annual convention of the Su
preme Council will be held next
August in New Orleans.
Frequently, the legionaries
will be asked for literature or
for a Catholic sacramental—a
rosary, a crucifix or a medal.
Nearly 170 booklets on some,
phase of Catholic teaching have
been distributed through such

To Study For Priesthood
“Monk” Malloy
Forsakes Basketball
By Bill Ring
(N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE)
WASHINGTON, — A decade
or so ago young Ed (Monk)
Malloy began dribbling a bas
ketball adeptly and his dad
started dreaming of the day
his son would play in pro ranks.
Well, young Malloy is now
headed for the big league—but
not the one the elder Edward
A. Malloy envisioned. Come
mid-September and young Ma
lloy heads back to the Univer
sity of Notre Dame, where he
was graduated in June, to enroll
in the seminary and begin stu
dies for the Holy Cross priest
hood.
Young Malloy had all the
equipment for the pro basket
ball ranks, but at Notre Dame,
where he was on the varsityfor
three years, he came to appre
ciate that the world is more
than a large, round ball and
there’s a dearth of priests and
missioners serving its people.
In sweat-drenched, green
shirt, labeled "Dailey’s Res
taurant,” Malloy talked of such
things at the half of a summer
league basketball game. The
"Dailey’s” were battling the
"Jake’s All Stars.” The team
names were deceptive, but the
players were college and
former college athletes staying
in shape during the summer
months—fellows like foot
ballers Jon Morris and John
Dugan of Holy Cross, Ok
lahoma’s Johnny Flynn and the
brothers Feldman of George
Washington.
Malloy disclosed he was just
back from a three-month stint
with a half-dozen other Notre
Dame students serving as lay
missioners in Peru. He said:
"We did a little bit of every
thing — teaching, coaching,
helping to build roads and hou
ses, just about anything we could
to help. We had headquarters
in Lima, but went to places
all over the country where we
were needed.”
His compassion was showing
when he stressed it’s one of
those must-be-seen-to-be be
lieved situations, the vast
amount of good a few trained
men can accomplish. He con
tinued: “And those people are
wonderful—simple, kind, eager
to learn, so appreciative of
things done for them. It’s heart
breaking to see them and heart
breaking too, to realize all the
help they need from lay mis
sioners, priests, doctors and
all sorts of technicians.”
It wasn’t Malloy’s first
tour as a lay missioner. He
served with a Notre Dame group
during last summer’s vacation
in Mexico.
In a way the basketball court
was "Monk” Malloy’s first
mission field. A boyhood pal
and playmate was a young Ne
gro named George Leftwich.
When Malloy went to Archbishop
Carroll High School here and
starred on the school basketball
teams in the late 1950s, George
Leftwich followed. The Carroll
teams were rated among the top

WILSON, N. C., (NC)— A
Baptist preacher and a North
Carolina woman will be the
defendants in a $100,000 libel
suit that opens in the Federal
courts here September 9.
The Knights of Columbus
brought the action against Rev.
Donald R. Bryan, pastor of the
Central Baptist Church in
Farmville, and Ruth J. Timby
of Eureka.
The suit charges tha the pair
distributed anti-Catholic lit
erature during the 1960 presi

It alleges that Ruth Timby

with the bogus Knights of Co

Bryan distributed copies.

tion.
In 1959, Malloy's senioryear
at Carroll, young Leftwich came
into the Catholic Church.
"Monk” Malloy’s parents are
Leftwich’s godparents. Left
wich said it was Malloy’s fine
example which led him to the
Catholic Faith.
Leftwich went to Villanova
(Pa.) University. Last year he
injured his leg in an automo
bile mishap. The injury, for a
time, threatened to end his pro
mising basketball career. But
with pluck, perseverance, and
prayer, Leftwich regained his
good deceptive moves. He’ll
•head back in September
to Villanova to take up for two
years where he left off. He
left off in the estimation of
Villanova Coach A1 Kraft
as “one of the best backcourt
men in college basketball.”
