Among other things long over
due to be singled out for praise
are the efforts of various people
who devote much of their talent
and time to recreational needs
Of our youngsters.
In Savannah this past winter,
the finest parochial basketball
season one could wish for was
carried out under commissioner,
Billy Leonard. The schedule was
so very well organized and ful
filled. Excellent and knowledge
able and extremely fair referees
controlled the games so well
that no complaints about offi
ciating were heard. It is a real
joy to see so many youth bene
fit from careful adult super
vision over such healthy exer
cise.
What brings this particular
topic to mind is the upcoming
track meet to be sponsored by
the Knights of Columbus for the
parochial schools of Chatham
County. Last year’s competition
was a splendid event, and the men
responsible have every reason to
be proud of their accomplishment.
The solidarity it creates among
the Catholic community is an
important by-product, for it
brings together scattered adults
who once were childhood chums
and it looks to the future as
sociations of the children when
they arrive in the high school
years.
Athletics do have a part to
play in the physical and spiritual
growth of our youngsters. Bodily
fitness cannot be underrated as a
requisite for healthful living and
the recreation of the psyche is
also valuable. But no less bene
ficial is the aspect of sports.
Some of our coaches are ex
cellent shapers of character, ex
tremely edifying in their mode
of personal conduct, the example
they set before their team’s eyes,
and trainers in behavior, sports
manship, cooperation, and self-
discipline.
To these men and women who
supervise, teach, and afford high
standards of leadership, we here
by tip our hat and say “a mil
lion thanks” and assure them of
the clergy’s constant cooperation
for continued future success.
* * * * **********
Easter Season and Holy Week
provide a most opportune time for
our youngsters to conduct a
spiritual self-examination. A
surprisingly large number seem
ingly fail to appreciate their faith
sufficiently. All too many are
observed as absent from the
C ommunion rail for long periods
of time. And all too many can
be seen arriving late for Mass
and departing before the “Go,
the Mass is ended.”
What it takes to make the
religion more meaningful puz
zles many a priest and spiritual
advisor. But it must be igno
rance. It is unthinkable that a
youth with Catholic training could
deliberately ignore God so cal
lously.
May we ask parents to re
flect on their children’s behavior
at Church and fidelity to the
Sacraments.
COUNCIL WOMEN TOLD
Remember Past,
Welcome Future
Fifteen members of the Sa
vannah Diocesan Council of
Catholic Women were among rep
resentatives of 12 Dioceses at
tending an NCCW leadership in
stitute at Athens, Georgia last
week. Also present was the Rt.
Rev. Msgr. John D. Toomey,
Moderator of the Diocesan Coun
cil.
The institute was the first in
a series, sponsored by the Na
tional Council ofCatholic Women,
to consider the liturgy, ecume
nism and the war on poverty.
Highlighting the meeting was
an address by Archbishop Paul
J. Hallinan of Atlanta, who urged
delegates not to forget the past
or resist the future.
“If a man ignored the past,”
the Atlanta prelate said, “he is
going to blunder into the future.
On the other hand, a man con
tent only to live in the past
is not worthy of the future.”
The archbishop said, “If we
look only to the past, we are in
the unfortunate position of Lot’s
wife. She looked back too much
and thought of nostalgic memo
ries that were there. She had a
resistance to change and she
was punished for this.”
He said the Blessed Mother
“didn’t know what was ahead
now is always
the time to
