The community flourished and branched out to other parts of the United States, A foundation made at Phila delphia, Pennsylvania started a daughter house in Flushing, New York, and from there a group moved in 1869 to Ebensburg, a beautiful little town in the Allegheny Mountains of western Pennsylvania. The mission there became a new autonomous foundation and in 1900 the motherhouse was moved to its present location in Baden, 20 miles from Pittsburgh, The Baden-based community known as the Congregation of the Sisters of St, Joseph of the Diocese of Pittsburgh is a Pontifical Institute and numbers over 700 members.

OFFICIAL * — —— ARCHDIOCESE OF ATLANTA t964 Founded at Le Puy, France, in 1650, the Sisters of St. Joseph became the first religious com munity of women who were un- clolstered. For the first time in the history of the Church women bound themselves by religious vows and dedicated their lives to works outside convent walls, St. Francis de Sales had en visioned such a group but the Susan M.

Half a century later Bishop Henri de Maupas and the Jesuit John Peter Medallle, co founders of the Sisters of St, Joseph, succeeded in obtaining ecclesiastical approbation for their ’ modern” community. They placed it under the patronage of St, Joseph in order that its members might serve their neighbor with humility, charity and fidelity as St. Joseph served Jesus and Mary, DURING the closing years of the next century,, the life of the Daughters of St. Joseph (as the community was first called) paralleled that of their father in a way the founders could not have dreamed of. In 1789 the French Revolution broke out and the Reign of Terror abolished all religious societies, Like the Holy Family fleeing the wrath of Herod, some of the Sisters found safety in flight and lived in e^ie, but many were ar rested and imprisoned. Five gave their lives on the guil lotine and only the fall of Robespierre and the con sequent end of the war saved several others from the same death. In this group was Sister St, John Fontbonne. Released from prison on the very day she was to have been executed she returned to her parents' home and remained there for several years until she was asked by the Bishop of Lyons to reor ganize the community in that city. The restored community was soon spreading throughout Europe, ’Magic Fountain’ NEW YORK (NC) — The National Legion of Decency re commended as superior family entertainment 'The Magic Fountain" distributed by Davis Film Distributors, Inc., of Bos ton.

The Feast of the Sacred Heart, celebrated throughout the Catholic world this year on June 5, commemorates the love and sacrifice of Christ for the redemption of mankind. (John 19:31-37). The devotion to the Sacred Heart was revealed by Christ when he appeared to St. Margaret Mary Ala- coque, a nun of the Visitation Order, at Paray-le-Monial, France in the 17th century. The above painting of the apparition hangs in the chapel of the Convent of the Visitation Sla ters in Bethesda, Md. BECKER AMENDMENT Carey Proposes Parents Resolution On Prayer Prior to World War II the community was engaged in foreign mission work in Yuanllng, China, but when their convent and hospital were de stroyed by Japanese bombs the Sisters were obliged to return to the United States, Prevented by the Communist take - over from returning to China when the war was over, the Sisters were pleased when the Passlonlst Fathers with whom they had labored in China asked in 1956 for Sisters to staff their miesion school in Atlanta. Thus this congregation founded in the North by pioneers from the South has returned to labor in the South where the Sisters now conduct three elementary schools: two in Florida and St, Paul of the Cross in At lanta. They also share the teach ing at Drexel Catholic High School in Atlanta. In the North they teach in 49 grade schools, 12 high schools and one catech etical center. In addition to teaching, the Sisters maintain St. Joseph Hospital in Pitts burgh and assist in the super vision of Georgetown Uni versity Hospital in Washington, D.C. In the near future the com munity will resume its foreign mission work by opening a mis sion in Borba, Brazil, on the banks of the Amazon River. Upholds Reds ALBANY (NC) —New York's.

Carey told the House committee studying public school prayer amendments it should also be concerned with the rights of parents of child ren in nonpublic schools which teach religion. The New York legislator, speaking before the Judiciary Committee (June 3), proposed a Congressional resolution which he said defended parental rights over their children’s re ligious development in both pub lic and private schools. THE RESOLUTION (a J. Res. 1036) consists of two sections: 1. No parent shall be denied the right to have any of his children engage involuntary re ligious exercise in any public school... 2. No. parent shall be denied Mrs, Ryan, of Goffstown, N,H„ is active in the National Liturgical Conference and autor of the controversial book, "Are Parochial Schools the Answer?” "SOME OF you may be need ed to start discussion clubs or to initiate classes for adults on some aspect of the active inner and outer participation in the liturgy called for by the constitution," Mrs, Ryan told (June 7) graduates of the col lege for women conducted by the Sisters of Charity of Mother Seton. "may be ne ded to discuss and work out with your fellow parishioners some of the practical Implications of true participation, of 'living the Mass’ in your particular com munity. the right to financial support from any governmental entity for the education of his child ren by reason of the attendance of his children at ^ non-public school of the parent’s choice. Carey, a member of the House Education Committee, is an out spoken supporter of giving gov ernment education aid directly to parents who could use it at the school of their choice. Carey spoke on the final day of seven weeks of hearings by the committee on nearly 150 proposed constitutional amend ments to offset the U.S. Su preme Court's 1963 and 1963 decisions against prayer and Bible reading in public schools. CAREY SAW , the issue of prayer in school primarily as one Involving the rights of par ents. "The parental right is prior to any social or govern mental right in the sense that one holds it precisely as a par ent and not as a legal conces sion from society," he said. He advanced his proposal concerning the right of parents in nonpublic schools, he said, "to rebut any Implication which might arise from singular con sideration of public school re ligious exercise amendments that there is no similar concern for the rights of parents in the non-pub,ic schools which now teach religion." The concluding day of the committee's hearings Included a loud complaint from a spec tator that atheists had not been represented in the parade of YMChers, professors andpoli- tlcl ana before the committee. Chairman Emmanuel Celler of New York refused to let him testify, ordering him to submit a statement. Klinkert told news men that when children pray, it is like exposing them to false and untrue advertising. THE COMMITTEE is expect ed to get down to voting on the prayer issue in late June. Its course of action Is not clear, but one unofficial survey of the 25-member unit reportedly shows 16 are opposed to any constitutional amendment and 3 plan to absent themselves from a vote. In the meantime, Rep. Frank J. Becker of New York, spon sor of the leading proposed amendment before the commit tee, said he would be willing to drop that part of it which would prevent the Supreme Court from ruling against references to God on coins and in public ceremon ies. But Becker said he will not make any concessions on the principal provision which would permit prayer and Bible read ing in public schools if child ren of objecting parents are ex cused from participation. IN THE meantime, although public hearings were ended, the committee continued to receive opinions. Eighty-five Indiana opinions. Eighty-five Indiana Protestant, Catholic and Jewish clerics opposed an amendment in one statement and 223 consti tutional lawyers and teachers took the same stand In another. The statement of the lawyers and teachers was circulated by four widely known figures in the field of constitutional law and Church-State relations: Father Robert F. Drinan, S.J., dean of the Boeton(Mass.)College Law School: Paul A. Freund of Har vard Law School; Wilbur G. Katz of the University of Wisconsin Law School; and Leo Pfeffer, general counsel of the Ameri can Jewish Congress, New York. SPECIAL RESPONSIBILITY Educate on Liturgy -Mary Perkins Ryan NO COMPULSION Bishop Opposes Pray Amending STEUBENVILLE, OHIO(NC) Steubenville’s Bishop John King Musslo opposes the pro posal to amend the Constitu tion to allow prayers and Bible reading in the nation’s public schools—but he said he’s glad the situation occurred. The prlate stated his per sonal opinion is that prayer in public schools in no way vio lates the basic tenets of the Constitution. He added that he believes also the government has no authority to compose prayers and that none can be forced to recite prayers aga inst his religious convictions. HE SAID he’s glad the mat ter was brought up because now the nation has a chance to study the problem In the light of the minds of the framers of the Constitution. rights of God inthelifeof man." HE SAID the proposal for the prayer amendment was "the backlash of the schocked as tonishment of a large segment of our American people that prayer is officially black balled from our schools." Bishop Musslo said he fears if the prayer amendment is approved "it would become the one and only norm determin ing the religious Influence in the school," He said it would become "the official Interpre tation as to how far we can apply. . . the guarantees of our Constitution; then we would lose out seriously," The Bishop expressed his views in an article for the Stebuenvllle Register, dio cesan newspaper, "We want much more than just a prayer," Bishop Musslo said. "We want everything our Constitution provides for us. And, believe me, that is a lot more than we can ever secure from a prayer amendment. The battle la really no battle at all. Everyone—or almost every one—is fighting for the same purpose: to find a rightful solu tion to a problem that touches man’s liberty, and also the Papal Grifts BERLIN )C)— Pope Paul VI sent breviaries to each of 40 seminarians being ordain ed in the Warsaw archdiocese by Stefan Cardinal Wyszynakl, Primate of Poland, Ed Curtin Presents [ BOBBY DONATO QUINTETTE P.«turln, LITTLE GEORGE ON THI SAX wy• j« „„ r Jt* iiAM 4 DANCE AT THE^y, ScMbSoucl )bU WISl P’lRll JR. 5 4251 ^OKcieu tymeiOuf Doalors of Hamilton, Elgin, Longinos A Bui ova.
