(NC) - Work has begun to demonstrate to the Vatican that many people consider Dr. Thomas A. Dooley, the jungle mission doctor who established hospitals in Indochina, a saint, Oblate Father Maynard C. Kegler said here. Father Kegler, director of the King’s House of Retreats, is the promoter of Dr. Dooley’s cause in the United States. He said the cause has not been officially introduced before the Vatican Congregation for the Causes of Saints, but he and the postulator of the cause in Rome, Oblate Father Angelo Mitri, are obtaining statements from people who believe Dooley was a saint and other material about the doctor. “We are seeking people who are interested in furthering the cause, who will say they believed he was a saint,” Father Kegler said. Such statements, he said, may be submitted by “people who knew him or who have been inspired by him.” The son of a well-to-do St. Louis family and a graduate of Notre Dame University and St. Louis University Medical School, Dooley served for two years as a U.S. Navy doctor in Indochina. He then resigned from the service to establish a privately financed medical mission in Laos. He organized Medico to provide medical care in remote areas, raised almost $2 million for the organization and oversaw the establishment of seven hospitals in four Asian nations. He died at the age of 34 of melanoma, a form of cancer, in New York City in 1961. He was the author of “Deliver Us From Evil,” “The Edge of Tomorrow,” “The Night They Burned the Mountain,” and “Dr. Tom Dooley, My Story.” Often called a saint in his lifetime, he said that made him feel inhibited about going into a bar to ask for a beer. President John F. Kennedy said it was Dooley’s example that prompted the formation of the Peace Corps. A controversial figure^who wanted no part of bureaucratic red tape, Dooley was criticized for the primitive medical practice in his jungle hospitals. At one time, candidates for canonization had to be dead for 50 years, but Pope Benedict XV changed that requirement in the case of St. Therese of Lisieux, “the Little Flower,” who was canonized in 1925, only 28 years after her death. Stephens Leave B.C. According to a recent announcement by headmaster Rev. Aelred Beck, Mr. and Mrs. John Stephens will be leaving teaching duties at BC to accept posts next year at Claxton High School in Claxton, Georgia. In reaction to the Stephens’ decision, Fr. Beck said, “We regret losing two excellent faculty members, expert professional, and wonderful people. We wish them well in their new positions.” Since arriving at BC in 1971, Mr. Stephens has served as defense coach for the football team, taught freshmen and sophomore English, has been head of the PE department, and coach of the tennis team.

I’d like to express my thanks to the faculty and student body and especially Coach Walsh for all his work in football.” Fr. Beck also noted that applications for an assistant coach and science or English teacher and another English teacher are being accepted.

FRANCIS XAVIER - A group of 52 high school students belonging to a singing group called Life Unlimited, Inc., and members of St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church in Maitland, Fla., sang at Brunswick’s St. Francis Xavier Parish during the 11 o’clock Mass Sunday, April 20. The religious music, written by members of the group and done with choreography, was presented during the Mass and the group continued its program when parishioners and visitors refused to leave and remained standing in the aisles and pews. Although well known in Florida, this is the group’s first venture into Georgia. They arrived in their own bus, earned from proceeds of their concerts, and stayed at St. Francis Xavier School “The group brought a lot of life into the celebration of the Mass,” said Father Tom Ryan, S.M., which included baptizing Caroline Patricia Thompson, daughter of William and Patricia Thompson, members of St. Francis Xavier. (Photo by Jekyll’s Golden Islander.) RALEIGH, N.C. (NC) -- “Celebration such as this gives a substance and clarity to the pastoral mission of the Church,” said Bishop F. Joseph Gossman of Raleigh at his episcopal installation here. In a two-hour ceremony that combined the century-old liturgy of the Eucharist with elements of a folk Mass accompaniment popular today, the new bishop encouraged those assembled to continue the mission of the Church. “The mission of the Church,” Bishop Gossman said, “which is indeed our mission, is to spread faith, and love, and service, to speak out not only in condemnation of injustice, and oppression, and evil, but to offer enthusiastic support to all those who we see to be living for others,” the bishop said. Archbishop Thomas A. Donnellan of Atlanta presented Bishop Gossman with an unadorned wooden staff, resembling a traditional shepherd’s staff. Then, accompanied by Archbishop Jean Jadot, apostolic delegate to the United States, he led the new bishop to the presiding chair. Later, Bishop Gossman circled the auditorium with the bishop’s staff-in-hand, and blessed those assembled. The audience returned nearly two minutes of applause. The ceremony was held in the City Memorial Auditorium here, as the cathedral, located a few blocks away, can only accommodate 300 worshippers. Among those who attended were visiting bishops; Bishop Gossman’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank M. Gossman of Baltimore, and other members of his family; Cardinal Lawrence Shehan, the retired archbishop of Baltimore, who ordained Bishop Gossman as bishop in 1968; and Archbishop William Borders of Baltimore, to whom Bishop Gossman had been an auxiliary bishop before being named to his new See here. Banners from most of the diocese’s 88 parishes and missions which are located in 54 eastern North Carolina counties, lined the edges of the balcony. On the auditorium floor below, sat clergy from the diocese of Raleigh and Charlotte, and over 255 other priests, nearly 100 of them former associates of the bishop.

After two years’ absence in Washington and suburban Maryland one rediscovers old pleasures gladly. Not that I don’t miss the rock bluffs over the Potomac and the C&O Canal towpath which parallels our “national” river for 180 miles west of the Capital. But we, too, have a treasury and I have discovered a new key to its contents: a monthly publication of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources called OUTDOORS IN GEORGIA. The current issue contains articles on cane-pole fishing, a Special Olympics held statewide for mentally retarded kids, solid waste disposal, professional fishing on the Ogeechee, “skeeters,” and the results of the 1974 Big Fish Contest. There are editorials, book reviews, and profiles of persons who have made it their business to protect, develop, and publicize our outdoors. Thirty-two excellent color illustrations highlight the May number: twenty-six photographs and six drawings. Obviously a labor of love, OUTDOORS IN GEORGIA is a real treat for all who share a regard for the loveliness of God’s creation in our comer of the earth. This magazine is, at its best, a hymn to that creation, and I must confess that I feel it often to be at its best. If you have three dollars to spare, send it along to the magazine at 270 Washington St., S.W., Atlanta, 30334, and the magazine is yours for a year. You won’t be disappointed. The cover photographs are worth the price. BY REV. WAYLAND BROWN Outdoors in Georgia I’ve watched out the ba9k window <the last few weeks as the yellow-green new growth of spring matured into deeper shades of summer. I’ve walked through our big, grassy lot, a mine field with a treacherous cactus or two to catch unwary, bare feet, rides up to Clark Hill, fished in the Savannah River, hiked once again about the Georgia Hills.
