Asian Orphans Seek
U.S. Catholic Homes
Wo often hear of children who

of home lass orphans now exist
ing in orphsngos throughout the
Far Him. The tremendous
needs of these children, each
of whom demands "hi* shart"
of time and attention, are of
constant concern to the self
less, dedicated men and wo
men who staff the overcrowd
ed orphanges. These substit
ute parents sprinkle their love
and affection among many rath

Like children everywhere,
each clamors with insatiable
appetite for more and more
personal attention as proof that
he's really loved and wanted.
It's all too obvious to these

who cares" will only be filled

Zoning Ruling May Void
Laws Barring Building
Kansas Bishop Sick,
Resigns His Post
HACKENSACK, N.J. -(NC)—
Municipal zoning laws govern
ing the establishment of schools
are invalid in New Jersey.
That is the interpretation
being put on a decision rend
ered in Superior Court here
(Feb. 11) in a suit brought by the
Archdiocese of Newark against
Hohokus borough.
JUDGE Charles W. Broad-
hurst ruled specifically that a
Hohokus ordinance barring the
construction of any school,
public or private, in an R-l
residential zone violates state
law.
The judge ruled that "the
purported ordinance stating that
all schools are prohibited in
the R-l zone cannot control
the establishment of a public
school. It therefore applies only
as to private schools" and thus
violates state statutes.
Frederick J. Gas sen, coun
sel for the archdiocese, argu
ed in coun that public sohool
districts were government en
titles not bound by municipal
zoning ordinances in choosing
school sites, In a 12-point brief
he had contended that a 1961
state law prohibiting zoning dis
crimination between public and
private schools was therefore
applicable. The coun upheld
that view.
THE ARCHDIOCESE also at
tacked the ordinance because
It was adopted after the arch
diocese had purchased property
In Hohokus and make known lte
plan to build a regional high
school for 1,500 boys. At the
time of purchase the area was
not zoned against school uss,
and Hohokus attsmptsd to short-
cireuit any suit based on tha
argumant of discrimination by
passing an all-lncluslva ordi
nance.
Judge Broadhurst said that
under the statutes governing
the establishment of boards of
education, the municipal gov
erning body cannot determine
the placement of schools with
in tha community and cannot,
therefore, restrict the place
ment of private schools either.
Hohokus officials have not
Indicated whether they will ap
peal to the State Supreme Court,
nor has the archdiocese indicat
ed whether it will follow through
on Its plans to build a regional
■chool. The school waa to be one
of nine constructed with funda
from a $30 million building
fund drive. However, when the
Archdiocese's plans to utilize
the 20-acre tract were tempo
rarily thwarted It established
St. Joseph's boys* school in
nearby Montvale.
THAT school accepted Its
first class in September. Stu
dents are using classrooms In
a nearby parochial elementary
school while conatruction is in
progress.
This was the fourth zoning
case taken to the courts in the
Newark archdiocese in the last
five years. In one the arch
diocese successfully Intervened
CATHOLIC WOMEN
in a case upsetting a zoning
law barring private schools in
Saddle River, another resident
ial community in Bergen Coun
ty.
The two cases involved
schools in Montclair, a subur
ban Essex County community.
In one, Lacordaire School, a
private school for girls, suc
cessfully defended a suit
brought by Montclair taxpay
ers to upset a zoning variance
given the school for expansion
purposes. The variance itself
had been granted despite the
opposition of the town planning
board, which eventually impos
ed restrictions not imposed on
nearby public schools. The Ho
hokus decision brings those re
strictions under question. In the
final suit, St. Cassien's School,
Montclair, upset restrictions
placed on its enrollment on the
basis of playground space avail
able per pupil. That suit was
based on the 1961 law banning
discrimination between public
and private schools. The Sup
erior Court upheld the law as
constitutional last year. Mont
clair officials have announced
an appeal.
OPINION is divided on whet
her the latest decision by Jud
ge Broadhurst is applicable to
colleges and universities. Seton
Hall University, which has its
main campus in Essex County,
has been barred from establi
shing a branch in Bergen Coun
ty by an ordinance adopted in
Saddle Brook after Seton Hall
inaugurated negotiations to buy
land there. Seton Hall has been
attempting to settle the issue
without resort to the courts.

TO THE EDITOR!
This is tn appeal to pariah
priests « especially to pastors
and not to thsir assistants. (1
have learned by some careful
questioning that the pastors are
the only onee who can help.)
The help 1 am seeking con
cerns participation in Mass. In
many lands where there is a
shortage of priests, Catholics
grow up thinking that Sunday
Mail if not really required.
When you live in a place where
Mas* Is not always offered on
Sunday, you get careless about
such things.
Here in the United States, we
have e shortage of priests, too.
But it is not so severe that Ca
tholics do not understand their
obligation to attend Maes. Bet
ter still, American Catholics
understand that attending Mass
la a privilege. They value that
privilege. They want to do more
than attend Mass; they want to
take part, just as the early
Christians did.
At least, most of us do. This
is a plea to pastors everywhere
- on behalf of those of us who
would like to participate in the
Mass. The principal difficulty

WE DO DIG!
PEABODY, Mass. -(NC)—
Back to the printer for cor
rection went 2,000 copies of a
new novena booklet delivered to
the Carmelite chapel located in
a shopping center here. The
chapel has a daily novena to
St. Therese, "the Little Flow
er."
The new booklets were dis
tributed for a service and the
worshipers paused during the
reading of a prayer. The book
let read..."beg her to obtain
for us the grave we yearn for
so ardently." The note to the
printer said the word is
"grace," not "grave."
lies in the speed with which the
Mass is said. Children don't
even try to use Missals; they
Juat can't read as fast as most
priests. Adults are having the
aame trouble. Many yeara ago
in the Army, I knew a priest
who said Mass In ten minutes.
Admittedly, this la an exception,
and yet Sunday Mass schedules
seem to be designed for the
people who want to get out In a
hurry, not for thoie who want
to be a part of the Sacrifice.
Would it not be better to have
the time for Masa a little leai
convenient, and give the laymen
a chance to take part? In many
parishes, Mass la scheduled
•very hour - with ten minutes
allowed for one congregation to
get out of church and another to
gst in. With a long sermon and
more people receiving Commu
nion under the new rules, the
celebrant has to race through
the prayers in order to finish
on time. Might we not schedule
Masses every hour and 15 minu
tes, Instead of ever hour? The
church might be more crowded,
but that would not be particu
larly harmful.
There are many reasons why
laymen can't keep up with their
priests. Missals, especially
dally Missals, are fearsomely
complicated affairs. You have to
turn to several sections in order
to follow any Mass, lnmy latest
Missal, the various Prefaces
are in a separate section-while
1 hunt up the correct one, the
celebrant has outdistanced me.
Week-day Masses are even
worse: the Missal may say
something like "Mass of a Bis
hop or a Martyr," but then adds
"Substitute the following prsy-
ers." The result is that the
layman must look in four or
more places just to follow the
prayers of Mass. Even If he is
familiar with the prayers, the
process takes time. The Com-
munlcantes and Hanc lgltur
prayers take a few more minu
tes.
The difficulty really begins at
the start of Mass. It is often
extremely difficult to learn
which Mass is being offered.
The liturgical calendar has been
changed, so that a layman can
not be sure his Missal is cor
rect. No Catholic newspaper
that I read will tell me the
Masses being offered each day
(in advance), nor will most pa
rish bulletins.
Religious calendars help
some, but even these will not
tell you which Of several Mas
ses the priest is offering when
you arrive. And there seem to
be other exceptions, when the
priest says a Mass not on the
regular schedule. One way to
check is to verify the vest
ments of the priest, to see if
they agree with your Missal's
instructions. If you come in late
in many modern churches, you
cannot see the priest on the al
tar - which is something I doubt
the celebrant realizes.
How simple it would be if our
priests would simply turn
around at the beginning of each
Mass and announce, "This is the
Mass for the second Sunday af
ter Pentecost," or whatever. A
placard in the vestibule would
also serve, but an altar announ
cement would require no ad
vance planning or expense.
The principal reason for the
confusion in following the priest
arises from the community or
dialogue Mass. The custom is
spreading in America, and 1,
for one, am delighted. However,
it does make it all the more
necessary that the pastor tall
us what Mass he is saying, and
then give us time to keep up with
him. When we read the Mass
In English, to ourselves, it made
little difference if we got be
hind or ahead. But now it makes
all the difference In the world.
When the ushers come around
for the Offertory collection (and
perhaps a couple of more times
for a second collection or to
pass out envelopes) the congre
gation must abandon their Mis
sals for a few moments. Such
physical events as a late-comer
moving Into your pew alio mean
delays.
The confusion Is compounded
by the way In which the dialogue
is held. Number one, there la
no agreement as to which pray
ers shall be said In unison by
the congregation. In some chur
ches, the Gloria, fcredo, Sanc-
tua, and Pater Noater are said
in unison; In other churches,
one or more of these prayers
is said aloud by the priest only.
I don't know why.
What makes things more dif
ficult Is that the custom varies
from priest to priest in the same
pariah. One waits for the con
gregation to say the Credo with
him: another does not. That is
why I said at the beginning this
matter would have to be resolv
ed by the pastor.
The other difficulty which will
have to be resolved by the pas
tor is the speed at which we say
these prayers. At one Masa
recently, our church had the
peak of confusion. The priest
said the prayers atone rate; the
listers in front said them in
unison but at their own speed;
the lay reader (apparently a
seminarian who spoke Latin
beautifully) paced himself at
a third rate.
The dignity left when the lay
reader read the Epistle in En
glish and the celebrant went
ahead with the Gospel in Latin.
The same break-down occurs
in many churches at Communion
time. A priest arrives to dis
tribute the Host before the cele
brant has reached that point;
the lay reader quits and the
congregation gives up all at
tempts at a dialogue Mass.
Why?
What is the rush? If some of
the congregation cannot stay for
the full Mass, would it not be
possible to have a "quick" Mass
for them, with a dialogue Mass
at reasonable speeds at some
other hour for those who would
like to participate? Can the
priest, sisters, lay reader and
congregation not say their pray
ers together?
We do it beautifully at nove-
nas and Rosaries, so perhaps
it is just a matter of time. In
the meanwhile, give us time to
learn our Latin (most of us are
still elementary’ students.) Give
us time to participate in the
Sacrifice. Give us time and op
portunity to share in the most
wonderful part of the Catholic
Church.
