Nuns Scores As Teacher
For Presbyterian School
MRS. W. L. LEINMILLER, outgoing President, presents gavel
to Mrs. Paul J. Wehner, her sucessor at the annual meeting of
the Nazareth Chapter, Holy Family Hospital Auxiliary.
HOLY FAMILY
Hospital Auxiliary
Holds Annual Meet
PORTLAND, Ore. (NC) — A
Catholic nun has scored a hit
teaching adult Sunday school
Classes at a Presbyterian
church here.
Sister John Mary, chairman
of the division of Biblical scien
ce, theology and philosophy at
Maryhurst College, in mid-
January began teaching a six-
week adult seminar on Bible
studies to 70 to 80 parishion
ers of Moreland Presbyterian
church at the invitation of its
pastor, the Rev. Marvis j. Key-
ser.

MUTUAL enthusiasm and in
terest have been the results
thus far of the experiment in
ecumenism.
"Members of The congregat
ion show Curiosity about several
things—for example, my reli
gious name," Sister John Mary
said.
To this she added words of
her own admiration for a church
which produces enough volun
teer workers to teach "dozens
of Sunday school classes" and
has established a program of
adult education which includes
three hour - long seminars
weekly.
Railroad Aid
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (NC)—
Ties between a convent of Bene
dictine nuns in Litchfield,
Conn., and the New Haven Rail
road are proving fruitful. Some
time ago, Richard Smith, one of
the railroad’s trustees, said the
New Haven donated some old
railroad ties to repair a bam
at the convent. In their letter
of thanks, Smith said, the nuns
promised to pray for the line.
He said it seems to be paying
off because "so far every bad
storm coming out of the west
has missed us.”
SISTER John Mary’s seminar
is similar to Bible classes she
has taught for five years to
evening gatherings at Maryl-
hurst College, which have at
times comprised members of
as many as six denominations.
"We use every kind of Bible,”
she said. "We study as object
ively as possible. Where dis
crepancies exist, we go to the
original Greek text and point out
that the various versions are
all simply English trans
lations."
APPROPRIATELY, the ses
sions are held in the Presby
terian church’s Fellowship
Hall.
"The purpose is for us to
encounter one another and to
understand each other better,"
Sister John Mary stated. "We
have begun to capitalize on what
we have in common with other
faiths, and certainly in doing
this Scripture is the place to
start."
She added: ‘'There are many
Protestants whose main know
ledge of the Catholic church
stems from the era of the In
quisition. That such things did
happen is a matter of history,
not legend. Today, we should
make reparation."
RESULTS of the experiment
so far have already produced a
second invitation for Sister John
Mary to conduct a seminar at
Portland's Westminster Pres
byterian church.
The Rev. Keyser, comment
ing on the unusual ecumenical
project, said Christians "can
not be naive or sentimental
about the very real differences-
which exist."
"But when we meet on the
common ground of Biblical
studies, we find that we are
Christians together. The funda
mental motivation is to build
bridges rather than walls," she
said.
REAL ESTATE
NEW ORLEANS -(NC)— A
real estate expert said property
values are "immediately stab
ilized and increased when land
is purchased for a church and
school in a residential area."
Daniel F. Sheehan, Sr., of St.
Louis, who was installed (Jan.
28) as president at the National
Association of Real Estate
Boards’ annual convention here,
said that upon purchase of pro
perty in a residential develop
ment for location of a church
and school "the demand immed
iately steps up values for pro
perty in that area."
SHEEHAN, a leader in civic
and archdiocesan affairs in St.
Louis, said there is a demand
both by people with young child
ren because of the accessibility

"The demand for resale is
also increased,” he said.
Among guests at the install
ation ceremonies was Archbis

Mary deLellis, R.S.M., has
stressed emphasis upon under
standing rather than memory.
Also the vocabulary of the in
structors must be within the
range of expected comprehen
sion on the part of the retarded
child.
In regard to the newly in
corporated program, the Mod
erator replied, "I am very
pleased with the response from
both the high school girls and
the parents of the retarded
children. It Is our duty to help
the mentally disabled child, and
1 believe that this high school
Sodality will fulfill Its obligat

endeavor as this."
As a token of appreciation
for their contribution as past
Presidents, charm bracelets
with engraved medallions were
presented on behalf of the auxi

The presentation was made by
Sister M. Theophane, Adminis
trator of the Hospital Program.
THE HOLY FAMILY Hospital
now under construction, will
provide general facilities in a
medical trade area with 225,000
people, which has never had its
own hospital. The area includes
a section of Fulton County,
South Cobb, and Douglas Count
ies. 1 It is anticipated that the
Medical Mission Sisters will be
ready to open the hospital by
mid 1964.
The initial building will pro
vide 128 patient beds for short
term illness and will include all
major services as well as dia
gnostic and treatment facilities.
The medical staff for the hosp
ital, presently being organized,
will be made up of physicians
from within the medical trade
area and complemented by
specialists from other parts of
the city.
The new hospital will be lo
cated on Fairburn Road at the
west end of Sewell Road, S. W.
It Is being constructed on a 60
acre tract of land which will
provide for future expansion as
planned by the Medical Mission
Sisters.

CARDINAL SAYS:
Polish Reds Renege
On Pact With Church
PHILADELPHIA -(NC)—Po
land’s Red regime headed by
Wladyslaw Gomulka has failed
to live up to its 1956 agreement
w ith the Church and is stepping
up its war against religion. Ste
fan Cardinal Wyszynski has
charged in a report issued here.
The Primate of Poland spoke
in an interview with Christine
Hotchkiss published here by the
Saturday Evening Post. Accord
ing to the author, the inter
view was granted in Roma be
fore Cardinal Wyszynski re
turned to Warsaw from the ecu
menical council.
THE CARDINAL declared:
"The agreement that I nego
tiated with Gomulka six years
ago last October has been ignor
ed... Hardly any of the promises
have been kept. Instead, a
powerful administrative appar
atus has been mobilized to fight
us. It tentacles spread every
where."
Speaking of Poland’s 30mill
ion Catholics, the Cardinal stat
ed: "We form the most power
ful body of dissent in the Soviet
empire. . . and the struggle we
are engaged in is affecting the
balance of the cold war. . . So
far we are holding the line,
but the pace of the onslaught is
quickening. Our existence is a
shattering proof of the failure
of the communist doctrine."
CARDINAL Wyszynski con
tinued:
"A recent decree. . .compels
every employee of the state to
refer every' matter concerning
a clergyman, Church organizat
ion or religious order to a
special government agency
called the Office for Religious
Beliefs. It makes no difference
whether this involves an appli
cation for a building permit, a
driving license for the local
priest or an allotment of coal
for a convent. . . The policy of
the Office for Religious Beliefs
is quite simple— ‘no’ to every
request.
"Then there is the financial
pressure through taxes. . . The
government ’calculated* that the
revenue of the Church comes to
2,500,000,000 zlotys a year (a-
bout $100,000,000). Itfixed taxes
on this revenue at 800,000,000
zlotys (roughly one third).
"This absurd estimate was
made to provide a so-called
'legal basis' for the exorbit
ant levies that are now being
extorted from us. There is no
money to pay it, for the Church's
real income amounts to less
than one sixth of the govern
ment’s estimate (which would
make the tax twice as high as the
income).
"BUT the government is re
lentless. In one parish the furn
iture of the village priest has
been seized in payment for so-
called ’back taxes’ due from the
collection plates last year. In
another, a priest's bicycle and
his wristwatch were confiscat
ed when internal revenue agents
w ere unable to locate the pre
posterously high sums of money
they demanded. According to a
recent regulation, all religious
schools, seminaries and con
vents are classified as 'luxury
hotels* and thus subject to ex
orbitant taxation.
"Our clergy lives in con
stant fear of eviction. For the
state confiscates everything—
buildings, furniture, livestock,
farm produce. . . .The students
in a seminary in central Poland
recently found themselves
sleeping in drawers used to
store clerical vestments. Every
other piece of furniture had
been seized by the tax collect
or."
Cardinal Wyszynski emphas
ized to the interviewer; "Yes,
they are brutal.*’
"THEY HOPE," he said, "to
discourage young people from
joining the ranks of the clergy.
Some, of course, do succumb
through sheer physical exhaus
tion. 1 can't blame them. . .But
these are all flagrant violat
ions of Gomulka’s agreement
in 1956."
The Cardinal spoke of the
Red regime’s war against the
Catholic press. He said:
"Strict censorship. . . Is
applied to all circulars, pam
phlets and church publications
essential for the dissemination
of faith and the routine function
ing of Church administrative
bodies. It involves endless de
lays and expense.
"Take the case of books, for
example. The communist cen
sor requires that a copy which
is bound and ready for sale be
submitted to him. He then pro
ceeds to blank out parts of it,
making it necessary to reprint
and rebind the entire book.
The allocation of'paper is also
in the government’s hands and
we are entirely dependent on
their whim. Yes, we have
traveled a long way from the
heady days of October, 1956—
unhappily in the wrong direct
ion!".
The Polish Primate also de
nounced the communist govern
ment's suppression of religious
education. He declared:
"IN ITS effort to create an
atheistic society in Poland. . .
the government has suspended
religious teaching in school"
FIRST PERMANENT IMAGE
Vatican Basilica Gets
Saint Joseph Mosaic
VATICAN CITY -NC- St.
Peter’s basilica is getting its
first permanent image of St.
Joseph—a 10 by 6 1/2 foot
mosaic.
The mosaic, which is being
made at the Vatican mosaic
studio, is expected to be mount
ed by Easter. It has been plan
ned as a memorial to the steps
His Holiness Pope John XXIII
has taken to give more honor
to the foster father of Christ.
POPE JOHN, who wafi bapt
ized with the name of Joseph,
indicated in an apostolic letter
of March 19 (the feast of St.
Joseph), 1961, that he was going
to put the Second Vatican Coun
cil under the patronage of St.
Joseph.
At the end of that letter, he
promised that he would give
"a new, greater and more sol
emn splendor" to the altar in
St. Peter’s dedicated to St.
Joseph.
THE WORK now being com
pleted in the Vatican's mosaic
studio is a direct result of that
promise. It Is intended to re-
;• cord also the order the Pope

issued November 13, 1962, to
insert the name of St. Joseph
in the Canon of the Mass.
The mosaic is a copy of a
painting by Achille Funi, 71-
year-old Milan artist, whose
works hang in galleries in
Rome, Moscow, Venice, Milan
and Lausanne. It depicts St.
Joseph as a young man holding
the Child Jesus in one arm with
a lily in his other hand. One of
two angels in the painting bears
a banner with the words: "You
shall rule over my house."
MASTER artisans of the mos
aic studio have finished two-
thirds of the mosaic, including
the full figure of St. Joseph.
It lies on the floor of the
studio and is covered with
sheets of cellophane as three
artisans assemble the remain
ing sections with pieces of
colored stone and enamel.
