ON COUNCIL EpiscopalianMen Hear Archbishop Protestants may find in the new form of worship eventually to come out of the Vatican Council “a stronger Biblical emphasis, as well as more stress on the homily." This hope was expressed by Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan in addresses this week before the Men’s Club of All Saints Episcopal Church and the In ter- Seminary Group at Emory University'. The Archbishop, who is the only American Bishop on the Liturgical Commission on the Vatican Council, also suggested the “The Orthodox may find there is room in the Latin Liturgy for Holy Communion under two species, and con- celebration of Mass by more than one priest." The Archbishop added: “These changes are not a 'modernization’ nor a return to antiquity . It is a renewal in the true sense; an applicat ion of old and honored princi ples to new and urgent situat ions." DROP JULIAN An extract from the Arch bishop’s talk follows: “In his message before the Vatican Council convened, and especially in his historic allo cation on the opening day, Pope John used the word, "new" dozens of times.

Ukrainians Adopt PHILADEPHIA -(NC)— All parishes within the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Phila delphia will be using the Gre gorian calendar this year or next. Up to now, some parishes within the archeparchy have used the Gregorian calendar, while others have used the Jul ian calendar. THE GREGORIAN calendar was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 to correct errors in the Julian calendar is in general the Julian calendar, authorized by Julius Caesar in 46 B. C.

IN SUMMER Archdiocesan Deacons Set For ‘Service’ This summer, deacons of the Archdiocese of Atlanta will em ulate the first deacons of the Church, serving the poor and sharing in the preaching and baptizing duties of the parishes to which they will be assigned. This was announced by Arch bishop Paul J. Hallinan, who said that the deacon program will be on an experimental basis. They will work under the direction of pastors and will be able to distribute Holy Com munion, both in the Church and to the sick. ARCHBISHOP Hallinan said, "An 'active diaconate’, besides being of real help to the parish, will also provide a good'appre nticeship* to our deacons as they begin their final year of preparation for our diocesan priesthood." The text of the Archbishop’s statement follows: NOT PROBLEM STUDENTS deacons (Acts, 6th chapter), their role has been 'the service of tables', the care of the poor, it is our plan that they should work closely with the parish St. Vincent de Paul Society. And since this service to the Church goes beyond material things, the week-day duties of our dea cons will include instructions and census follow-up. All of the tasks, of course, will be under the direction of the past ors. “An 'active diaconate’ Besid es being of real help to the par ish, will also provide a good ‘apprenticeship’ to our deacons as they begin their final year of preparation for our diocesan priesthood." BRITISH Prime Minister Harold Macmillan walks with Pope John XXIII into the Pontiff’s private library at the Vatican. Macmillan had a half-hour private audience with the Holy Father. Teacher Institute Studies Students With Problems “In the early centuries of Chrlsitanity, the deacons had significant duties in the Church. Today the order of the diaconate is only a stepping stone on the way to the priesthood. To em phasize its importance, and to give our people a better view of the varied sacred tasks, the Archdiocese of Atlanta this summer will inaugurate, on an experimental basis, a program for the three young men who are about to enter their "deacon year" in their student preparat ion for the diocesan priesthood. "AT THE close of their fifth year of Seminary study, they will be ordained subdeacons at St. Mary's Seminary in Balti more, placing upon each the vow of celibacy and the obligat ion of reciting daily the Divine office. Then, on June 8, 1963, at the Cathedral here in Atlanta, Rev. Mr. Michael A. Morris, Rev. Mr. Edward A. Danneker, and Rev. Mr. James F. Scharer will then be ordained deacons. They will be assigned forseven weeks to three Atlanta city- parishes. "In ' the Roman Pontifical, the deacon’s role is described as follows: 'the deacon must serve at the altar, baptize and preach’. Accordingly, these three young men, under the di- recion of the pastors, will share in the preaching and baptizing duties of the parish. They can not offer Mass, but they can distribute Holy Communion, both in church and to the sick. Calender ember 19 according to the Jul ian calendar. MSGR. .MICHAEL Poloway, chancellor of the Philadephia Ukrainian archeparchy, said the changeover to a uniform calen dar is being carried on grad ually throughout the jurisdict ion. The majority of parishes in the archeparchy are using the Gregorian calendar, hit a few still use the Julian calen dar. The Archeparchy of Philadel phia includes Ukrainian Catho lic parishes in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. Two hundred and fifty teach ers, religious and lay, from the Archdiocesan Catholic Schools met last Thursday at Saint Jos eph High School in Atlanta for an all day Teachers’ Institute. Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan, in his welcome address, said in part, “My relationship with you all, both religious and lay, is that of a partner. All of us together seeking wisdom both in its acquisition and in its transmission. There is no task that is any nobler, there is no task that is more urgent in our times and so I greet you as a fellow teacher, with full know ledge you and I hold very re sponsible positions not only in the church but also inourcom- the church but also in our com munity' and as citizens in our state.” MONSIGNOR E. Stuardi, the superintendent of schools in the Mobile - Birmingham Di ocese, in his keynote address stressed many changes that have taken place in the past ten years.
