As an example of a project
to “light a candle rather than
curse the darkness” the dioce
san CYO of Gary, Indiana is or
ganizing a massive drive to pe
tition NBC television network
to continue showing the “Pro
files in Courage” series. Plans
had been announced by the net
work to drop the show.
In cooperation we are asking
parish moderators to draw a
petition with this heading (to be
signed by CYO members).
“We the undersigned, petition
NBC to reconsider its plans to
cancel the ‘Profiles in Courage’
series. This program plays an
important part in promoting pa
triotism, which too many Ameri
cans take for granted today. We
further petition NBC to exert a
stronger influence in cutting down
the volume of violence, sug
gestive costuming and scenes
shown in many programs.”
Parish CYO Clubs and Moder
ators, we request your par
ticipation in this nation-wide CYO
petition to the National Broad
casting Company concerning the
“Profiles inCourage” television
series and television program
ming in general.
As of this date they have re
ceived over 35,000 petitions from
CYO groups throughout the coun
try. Gary is a little disappointed
that many of our large and key
cities did not join us in this
worthy cause.
“Were we to present the pe
titions received at this time,
we feel would meet with no
response from NBC officials.
“In talking with our youth and
CYO Directors who did cooper
ate, it was felt that to abandon
this action now would not be in
keeping with the challenge that
“Profiles inCourage” offeredas
the theme of the program.
“Therefore, since our cause
is a just and necessary one,
we are beginning a second phase
of our campaign. Already we
have written to the outstanding
Catholic entertainers asking
them to join us in this crusade,
and we are again turning to you
to ask you to join us now.
“In the name of the 35,000
CYO members who have already
signed this petition, we ask your
help. We hope to present these
petitions to NBC early in Septem
ber and to be able to make an
announcement at the National
Convention in Chicago in Novem
ber in this regard.
“In November of 1963, one
week prior to that tragic day
in Dallas, President Kennedy
addressed our Catholic youth at
their convention in New York
City. What greater tribute to his
memory can we offer than to
be able to announce at this con
vention that our crusade was a
success. With your help and pray
ers, we will accomplish this
goal.”
Please mail your signed pe
titions to:

JULY 9-11 IN SAVANNAH
Richard J. McCaffery Will Conduct
Diocesan Leaders Training Course
Thirty-seven men of the Dio
cese have been invited to attend
a Diocesan Leaders Training
Course, in Savannah, next week.
To be conducted by Mr. Rich
ard J. McCaffery, director of
Leadership Development of the
National Council of Catholic Men,
Washington, the course will be
held at the Hotel DeSoto, begin
ning at 7:00 P M. on Friday,
July 9th.
The sessions will end at
4;00 P M. on Sunday, July 11th,
and will cover the seven units
of the N.C.C.M. Leaders Train
ing Course in theLayApostolate.
Announcing the Training Pro
gram, Bishop McDonough ex
pressed the conviction that such
a national Catholic organization
as N.C.C.M. “can contribute sig
nificantly to the Lay Apostolate
in the terms and the challenges
of the Second Vatican Council.”
He said that we must begin
“with determination and dedica
tion if we are to realize the scope
of the program and how it can
best be applied to the Diocese of
Savannah.”
The Bishop and Monsignor John
D. Toomey, Spiritual Director of
The Bishop’s Council of Men will
be in attendance at the two-day
Training Course. In a letter
addressed to the men invited
Bishop McDonough said he knew
that attendance might require
a sacrifice, “but I am confi
dent that your presence will be
a source of encouragement to all
of us.”
During the past months, three
Deanery meetings of the Bishop’s
Council of Men have been held
in Savannah, Macon and Augusta.
These meetings featured a talk
given by Mr. McCaffery in which
he outlined the purposes of the
National Council of Catholic men
and described the Leadership
Training program developed by
N.C.C.M.
In his appearances throughout
the Diocese, McCaffery deplored
what he termed the “unfortunate
tendency of too many Catholics”
to determine the extent of indivi
dual commitment to Christanity
by “frequency at the Sacraments,
scrupulous personal morality,
and outward professions of re
ligious faith, and by no other
criteria.”
The N.C.C.M. official declared
that something more is required
of Catholic men if they are to
take their place as effective wit
nesses to the Gospel of Christ
in the world of the layman.
Council members were urged
to do more than “just light a
candle to disperse the darkness
that clouds the lives of so many
of our fellow members of the
people of God.”
McCaffery also reminded the
men that the “Fathers of the Vat
ican Council have called upon
you to be a responsible voice
within the Church to provide it
with a greater knowledge of the
desires and needs of the laity.”

25th ANNIVERSARY
Fr. Kelly, S.M.
Is Jubilarian
“I will ascend to the altar of
God; to God who gives joy to
my youth.” These words from
the beginning of the Mass were
most ‘appropriate' as the Rev.
Edward J. Kelly, S.M. celebrated
his 25th jubilee as a priest re
cently by offering a High Mass
of Thanksgiving in St. Joseph’s
Church, Waycross.
The Rev. Paul Burkort, S.M.
delivered the sermon in which he
stressed the meaning of the
priesthood—the bridge between
God and man. Quoting St. Paul,
Father Burkort emphasized that
a priest must be “all things to
all men,” and a man set apart
from his fellowmen in order that
he may help and serve them. In
offering the Sacrifice of the Mass,
said Father Burkort, the priest
offers Christ, Himself, to God
and renews the Sacrifice of Cal
vary. Among the congregation of
parishioners and friends were
Father Kelly’s brothers, sister
and relatives, and the Rev. An
drew Walls, S.M., who served as
deacon at his First Mass, June
9, 1940.
Following the Mass a recep
tion was held in the Gold Room
of the Ware Hotel. Mr. R. W.
Tonning, Jr. presented Father
Kelly with a purse contributed
by his parishioners and friends
to be used on his European Tour,
which he will begin next week.
Assisting in the entertaining
were; Mr. and Mrs. Ed Hea-
garty, Mr. and Mrs. D. O. Pearce,
Mesdames J. R. Martinez, Geor
ge Mardany, Daniel Coyle, R. W.
Tonning, Jr., Robert Paulk,
James Paradise, Raymond John
son, Harvey Miller, A A. Karle,
James Johnson, Ann Walker, and
Miss Mary Karle.
