Pontiff Leaves Rome
For Summer Months
Establishment of a com
mission on the Sacred Liturgy
in each diocese :is prescribed
in the Constitution on Sacred
Liturgy decreed by the Vatican
Council on December 4, 1963,
The commission is charged with
the promotion of the liturgical
apostolate throughout the arch
diocese. This will entail the set
ting of policies, under the au
thority of the archbishop, for
liturgical participation in
parishes. Programs of infor
mation and education, aimed at
deepening the understanding of
liturgy, will be an important
concern of the commission’s
work.
At the first meeting of the
re - constituted commission
on July 27, two such programs
will be discussed. It is hoped
that a sizable number of the
faithful of the archdiocese will
attend the national Liturgical
Convention in St. Louis from
A gust 24 to 27. Also Atlanta
Liturgical Week, to be held in
October under the sponsorship
of th# Archdiocesan Council of
Catholic Men, will be offerred
the full support of the Liturgy
Commission. Louis Erbs, a
Commission member, is chair
man of this project.
In this appointment of the
eight priests and five lay per
sons to the new Commission,
Archbishop Halllnan said:
'The most vital work the
Church faces in mid-1964 is the

a committee for peace."
The Cardinal’s letter was
addressed to Houari Souiah,
head of the delegation that re
quested the audience with the
Pope.
It said in part: "As is well
known, the Holy See, by its very
nature, cannot participate in un
dertakings of a politico-mili
tary nature, no more than it
could engage in undertakings
that pursue ends of an ideolo
gical propaganda which is not
in conformity with the doctri
nal principles that it holds wor
thy and good for the whole of
humanity.
"ON THE contrary, the Holy
See has approved efforts which
really favor concord between
peoples and which help to re
move the dangers and causes of
conflicts. It has particularly
encouraged the undertakings for
disarmament, especially those
seeking to ward off the atomic
peril, and it desires that hu
manity should come to forearm
Itself against such a serious
threat by a sincere and general
accord, which alone can render
its efforts efficacious."
VATICAN CITY (NC)—The
Holy See has sent an outline of
its views on the atomic threat
to peace to a conference on
the denuclearization of the Med
iterranean basin held in A1
giers.
Earlier, the Holy See had
politely turned down a request
from the conference for an au
dience with Pope Paul VI. While
the participants from Arab
countries are middle-roaders
or even representatives of gov
ernments, delegates represent
ing the other Mediterranean
countires are mostly extreme
leftists.
A LETTER from Amleto Car
dinal Clcognani, Papal Secre
tary of State, was couched in the
most general terms and made no
mention of the proceedings in
Algiers. Yet the Italian com
munist organ, Unlta, not only
asserted that the message con
stituted "substantial support
for the conference and for its
action." It also asserted "it is
the first time that the Vatican
has taken a stand so clearly in
favor of an action proposed by
bight priests of the arch
diocese of Atlanta and five lay
men were today appointed by
Archbishop Paul J, Halllnan to
the reconstituted Archdiocesan
Commission on the Sacred
Liturgy. Father Leonard F. X,
Mayhew, pastor of Holy Cross
Parish and associate editor of
THE GEORGIA BULLETIN;
was named chairman of the
Liturgy Commission.
Other priests appointed to
serve on the archdiocesan body
are: Monsignor Michael J,
Regan, Fathers Dale Freeman,
Conald Foust, Jarlath Burke,
Alan Dlllman, Ellis de Priest,
S,M, and William Hoffman, For
the first time members of the
laity have been appointed to the
commission. They are G, T.

preparation of our people for the
renewal of our public worship.
Contrary to popular opinion, the
phase concerned with the
vernacular and the form -
changes is not the basic task.
"It is not the change in
rubrics or text; it is the change
of heart that is our challenge.
This means that our parish
ioners grow in understanding
what public worship means; in
motivating themselves for it;
and in making it part of their
daily lives, especially in the
education of their children who
will be our next Catholic gen
eration."
In re-constituting the Com
mission on Sacred Liturgy, the
Archbishop expressed his ap
preciation for the great good
accomplished through the ef
forts of so many priests and
people in the past. He stated
his confidence that the work
of the Commission and the co
operation of all members of the
archdiocese would guarantee a
profound spiritual renewal in
all parishes and institutions.

"It is necessary, if we are to
extend the frontiers of God’s
Kingdom in Georgia, to provide
for the physical and land struc
ture for new parishes. This
means it church, school, rectory
and convent. To serve a Catho

Melkite Prelate
Will Visit Here
The Most Rev. George Ha
kim, Melkite Archbishop of
Nazareth and all Galilee, will
arrive at Atlanta airport on
Saturday, July 18. From the
airport His Excellency will be
escorted to St. Joint's Melkite
Church where he will be the
guest of the Melkite Parish for
two days. On Sunday, July 19,
he will celebrate a pontifical
Mass at St. John’s Melkite
Church at 11:30a.m. AfterMRSS'
a formal banquet will be held in
his honor at 1;30 p.m. at the
Americana Motor Hotel. On
Monday morning July 20, His

Archbishop Hakim presided
lately at the Melkite conven
tion held in Akron, Ohio, on be
half of His Beatitude Maxlmos
IVth. Melkite Patriarch of An
tioch and all the East, of Alex
andria and Jerusalem. His Ex
cellency is now visiting Mel
kite Parishes in North Ameri
ca as a part of a nation wide
tour. His trip through the Unit
ed States precedes attendance
at the third session of the Ecu
menical Council, He attended
the two earlier sessions and
played an Important role.
Archbishop Hakim Is the only
resident Roman Catholic pre
late in Israel. He is the spiri
tual leader of all Greek Catho
lics (Melkites) who number ap
proximately 23,000 of the 55,000
Christians residing in the area.
Emphasizing that this number
represents a small minority,
approximately two percent of
2 1/2 million population, he
pleads for recognition and un
derstanding of its unusual posi
tion. "This minority," said His
Excellency upon his arrival in
this country "represents the
entire Christian world in the
land of Christ. The Christian
world should not be dee interest
ed in these Christians. Moral
and financial support will help
them continue to be a living
testimony in the land of the
Lord, What we see in*pur Jew
ish friends in the world do for
their brethren in Israel also
should be felt by these Holy
Land Christians,"
Archbishop Hakim has built
numerous churches in Galilee
villages as well as • seminary
and nun’s home in Nazareth, or
phanages in Acre and Haifa.
He has founded several maga
zines and published many books
In Arabic and French. His last
book recently was translated
into English under the title.
"Gospel Pages Read in Gali
lee" edited in Belgium.
Halllnan said.
THREE OF these new parishes
were established this May. In
doing so the Archbishop and con-
suitors made use of the 1963
archdiocesan census results,
projections of population by
governmental, industrial and
commercial bodies, and con
sultation with laymen experienc
ed in growth and development
projects.
The new Commission will con
tinue to use these tools and
techniques. In the Archbishop's
words: "We use what is
naturally helpful to achieve what
is supernaturally necessary."
As "vicar-general of the diocese
of Savannah-Atlanta for many
years, Msgr, Moylan has a vast
storehouse of data on the growth
of the Church. As one priest has
put it, "Monsignor has more
maps than the National Geogra
phic!"
THE MEMBERS of the new
commission are: Msgr. Joseph
G. Cassidy, P.A., .V.G., and
Fathers Phillip H. Dagneau
S. M., John F. McDonough, Wal
ter J. Donovan, Joseph F. Ware,
John J. Mulroy, Richard B. Mor
row and Joseph J. Beltran.
They will meet regularly for
discussion and their recommen
dations will be channelled to the
Archbishop and the board of con-
suitors through Msgr, Moylan.

Parochial School
MONSIGNOR MOYLAN
NEW YORK (RNS) —A Catho
lic laywoman, Dr. Ann M. Wal
lace, appointed to head St. Paul
the Apostle school here, is be
lieved to be the first lay prin
cipal of any school taught by
nuns and laity in the Arch
diocese of New York.
Dr. Wallace’s appointment,
according to Mother M. Loreto,
provincial superior of the Sis
ters of the Holy Cross, was
made in order to obtain com
petent professional leadership
in developing a program of
urban education that would
specifically meet the needs of
children in an integrated
parochial elementary ichool.
THE SISTERS of the Holy
Cross maintain the school.
Dr. Wallace has been a full
time educational and vocational
counselor for the New York
City public school system in
its Higher Horizons program
for bright underprivileged

children.
Since 1961 she has been an
assistant professor of educa
tion at Fordham University
summer sessions.
THE DECISION to have a lay-
woman head a school operated
by a religious order also re
flects the thinking of the Paulist
Fathers, who administer St.
Paul the Apostle parish.
In June, the newly-elected
Paulist Superior General, the
Very Rev, John F, Fitzgerald,
declared that the Paulists plan
to provide even wider op
portunities to the laity for per
sonal Initiative and responsi
bility in Paulist work.
The St, Paul school is involv
ed with the same kind of
forward - looking educational
work in which Dr. Wallace has
had experience,

vating pre - grammar school
