It performs as an action group seeking to apply Christian principles learned in the classroom to everyday living. Members of YCS learn to be specialized lay apostles in their formative years - a training which will carry over into their adult life where so much em phasis is on the need for train ed Catholic lay leaders. Young Christian Students meet in small groups weekly or bi-weekly to observe, judge, act on the problems and pres sures they encounter in the class-room, their social life, family life, and community.

(NC)— Children of migrant workers are learning about God from a pretty field boss here who holds "Bible school” under the fruit trees on her family farm. Mrs. Frank Lucchetti’s or chard apostolate is linked to the belief that "a farmer is very’ blessed—if not in material things then most assuredly in spiritual blessings.” IT’S A family philosophy that permeates the activities of all five members of the Lucchetti family. The other four are; grower Frank Lucchetti, a native of Stockton who has been an ac tive St. Michael’s parish work er since he and his wife bought their 34 - acre ranch 19 years ago; Raymond, 19, named "most outstanding” Newman Club re ligious chairman at Stockton College, now at Sacramento State College; David, 17, all- around athlete at St. Mary’s High School; and Ralph, 9, who attends St. Mary of the As sumption School, and is also learning to be an altar boy. ITALIAN-BORN Cristina Maria (Ina) Lucchetti typifies the family’s love of the land and its apostolic energy. She is community social chairman of the Stockton Diocese’s National Council of Catholic Women, Ca tholic rural life chairman of the San Joaquin County Council NCCW, and San Joaquin county chairman for the Catholic Mi grant Mission Program (CA MMP). She says she feels "most suited” for the latter post be cause "my work with the chil dren of our migrant workers has been a great blessing to me, and I thank God I worked help ing my husband in the orchards so I could feel and see the great needs.” INA, Lucchetti’s actual asso ciation in the fields with mi grant workers is related to the situation of the small farmer. She said: "It isn’t because we’re bad farmers—it’s because ex penses are so great and the income is so low that if we, the wives, didn't give an assist, we wouldn’t be able to stay in the farming business for long. "Why do we work so hard to stay in this business even though at times it isn’t the easiest way of life? It’s because the pride and joy in being your own boss—having your own land, li ving the way you want in this great country, and helping and watching the good earth pro duce food for yourselves and hu manity—is very rewarding in deed.” BECAUSE of this belief, Ina dons jeans during the picking season, hurries off to an ear ly Mass at St. Michael’s, then Is back at the ranch to serve as field boss-assigning workers to the trees, checking to see if the fruit is picked properly, keeping the books for paychecks and devoting some time daily to her "Bible school" In the or chards. The unique apostolate began eight years ago when she told a farm worker’s child to "offer up to God” what he felt was an undeserved spanking from his parent. "Who is God?" the child ask ed. "You mean like goddam mit?’’ "I WAS chilled to the bone,” said Mrs. Lucchetti. "I couldn’t believe it. So then and there I wondered how many of the chil dren didn’t know about God.” Having just completed a Con fraternity of Christian Doctrine teacher training class, she de cided that while she was working in the orchards she would also give the workers’children some religious instruction. Most of the 20,000 field work ers in the Stockton area for the peach and cherry harvests come from Southern states. Although most are not Catholics, few ob jected to the Bible stories and instruction that Ina Lucchetti gave their children as they ga thered. about her under the trees. I THE "BIBLE school”—cou pled witlmthe personal Interest the Lucchettis take in the pick ers—has brought some families back to the ranch year after year. "People say they keep coming back because the chil dren want to go where the lady tells them about God," said Ina. The workers return for other reasons, too, for the Lucchettis have a realistic approach to the sometimes dificult pro blem, of grower-farm worker relations. With housing the big gest problem, they try to find places for the majority of their pickers, even putting them up at Ina’s mother’s home when necessary. The Archdiocesan com mission on Christian unity met in the assembly room of the Sacred Heart Rectory on January 22. Very Reverend Fa ther Vincent Brennan S.M., Ch airman, welcomed Archbishop Hallinam on behalf of the mem •bers Father Brennan announced that a number of speaking en gagements have been filled by members of the commission and that invitations for speakers on the subject of Christian unity continue to be received from civic as well as religious gro ups. THE ARCHBISHOP spoke informally about his ex periences at the second Vati can council and listed the ac complishments of the First two month session. He pointed out that there were 2,300 bishops in attendance.This is the largest body of men ever assembled for Letislative purposes. Setting the council In motion was no mean accomplishment. Some sixty countries were represented in the preparatory commissions which prepared the Schemata from which the Bishops worked, The Arch bishop said. This was a demonstration of the Universality of the Catholic Church. ARCHBISHOP Hallinan ex plained that the bishops elected twenty five members from among their own number to each of the commissions. The me mbers of these commissions were charged with the duty of formulating recommendations to be presented to the entire assembly for approval, and every Bishop had the right to speak on the recommendations. ON TITHING DUBUQUE, Iowa (NC) — Archbishop James J. Byren of Dubuque is a clergyman who believes in practicing what he preaches, even though It may hurt. In a recent message to Cath olics of northerstern Iowa, Archbishop Byrne recom mended serious consideration of the practice of tithing— the giving of a tenth of one’s Musial Gets Award BROOKLYN, N.Y. (NC) — St. Louis Cardinals star Stan Musial received the Catholic Athlete of the Year award at the 19th annual dinner of the Fathers' Guild of Brooklyn Prep, a Jesuit secondary school. The guild also ac claimed Dartmouth College linebacker Don McKinnon the Catholic collegiate football player of the year. WEIGHING and picking re cords are kept iserpulously "We treat our workers fairly and justly,” Mrs. Lucchetti said, "and they trust us.” Quick to condemm abuses of farm workers, she pointed out that such abuses are often the fault of foremen—not growers. "The majority of the field workers are good, kind people whose main difficulty is an ina bility to know how to use the money they earn during a sea son,” she said. "They are of ten tempted to blow the pay- check on unessentials rather than necessities." Free debate was engaged in v This manifestation of the Ch urch in action was a revelation to the Protestant observers at tending the council who had somehow had an image of the Catholic Church as a "push button church”. These men were official re presentatives of their re spective churches, the Arch bishop said. They were attending by special invitation. They were purely observers without voice or vote, but everything was done to make them welcome. They had the best seats in the house. Noted theologians were at their service to assist them in tran slating and interpreting the proceedings. The Holy Father was solicitous for their com fort. They were given a new light on the Catholic Church.

Coffee, makes her home in Forest Park, Ga. Preaches income to church and charitable causes. AT FIVE area clergy con ferences held recently, the Du buque prelate announced "a de cision that really takes a lot of nerve to make," as he put It. "I have decided,” the Arch bishop stated, ”to begin a tit hing program of my own by allowing one priest from the archbiocese to go to mission work in Latin America every time I ordain a tenth priest for our needs here.” Two priests of the Dubuque archdiocese have already been released for overseas service. Father John P. Smith, a native of Dyersville, is in charge of a parish in Oruro, Bolivia. Fa ther Raymond C.
