"They also must be professionally able," she added. Mother Mary Omer, Mother General of the Sisters of Char ity of Cincinnati, in an inter view said present needs in the Church call for nuns who have "a solid foundation in theology, Scripture, and liturgy on which to build the necessary profes sional competence." THIS is because "Sisters be long in the mainstream of the Church’s renewal," she said. New apostolates are opening up for Sisters, as well as new approaches to the tasks they now are performing, said Moth er Mary Omer, who also is secretary-treasurer of the Conference of Major Superiors of Women. IN THE near future she ex pects to see Sisters more ac tive at Newman Centers on secular university campuses, in discussion groups formed by lay people, and in civic and com munity enterprises. “If sisters don’t move for- word and become involved in wider apostolates," she said, "you’ll have to search in past history to find them." AMONG new developments of her own community she cited; Lay-Controlled Board Elected NORWAY, Mich. (NC) — A unique venture in lay control of Catholic education is getting underway at St. Mary’s parish here with the election (Oct. 25) of a parish school board with a lay majority. Names of the five lay mem bers of the seven-member board are to be made public Nov. 1, a week following the secret ballo t voting by parish ioners. COMMENTING on the elec tion, Msgr. O’Neil D’Amour, pastor, said "it is time that Catholic laymen begin to as sume their proper places or responsibility within the or ganizational structure of the Church." Msgr. D’Amour is superin tendent of schools in the Mar- guette, Mich., diocese and for seven years, until last May, was associate secretary of the National Catholic Educational Association’s school superin tendents' department. BISHOP Thomas L. Noa of Marquette approved establish ment of lay-clergy boards of education in each parish of the diocese before leaving for the third session of the ecumenical council in Rome. So far, four inter-parish and one intra-par ish boards have been appointed. Msgr. D’Amour said the idea for electing the lay members of his parish's board originated when he called a meeting of men of the parish. "I was planning to appoint the lay members, but the men felt the best method would be to elect them and I agree," he said. THE pastor and the school Joe Lapchick To Retire JAMAICA, N.Y. <^C) — Joe Lapchick who ranks in the fore front of all-time great college basketball coaches, will retire as mentor of St. John's Univer sity team at the endofthe 1964- 65 season. He will be succeeded by Lou Carnesecca, his present assis tant coach. The university, con ducted by the Vincentian Fath ers, explained that Lapchick will reach the compolsory re tirement age of 65 next April. principal will also be members, with one vote apiece, ‘The parish board of educa tion will haye complete juris diction over the operation of our school—it won’t be just an advisory board," Msgr. D’Amour said. For purposes of voting, the 15 candidates for the five lay posts were divided into five categories. There were three former public school board members in one category, three businessmen in another, three men with experience in finance, three housewives, and three other men of the parish. Write- in votes were also permitted. THE five lay members of the board will serve for three- year terms and will supervise the planning and construction of a new elementary school build ing scheduled to open in the fall of 1966, The school will serve two other area parishes, and it is anticipated that the board will be enlarged to include repre sentatives from them. "It has been said that for the Church this is the age of the emerging laymen," Msgr. D’Amour said in a letter all parishioners. to "In times past in our coun try because of historical cir cumstances leadership within the Catholic community was placed in the hands of the cleiv gy. Now circumstances have changed. It is time that Cath olic laymen begin to assume their proper places of respon sibility within the organization al structure of the Church." ings of Sisters from neighbor ing parishes to talk about and prepare for the Church’s pro gram of renewal. • Supervised programs of study for underprivileged chil dren lacking decent home fac ilities for study. • Visits by parish school tea chers to homes of their pu pils. • Motherhouse Institutes on such issues as sex education, family problems, and race re lations. MOTHER Mary Omer fore sees a fuller role for Sisters THE COUNCIL in parishes. "They have a bigger job than just teaching a class," she said, pointing out that she ad vises nuns they are mis sioned to a parish, not just a school. SHE is convinced, too, that deeper holiness is required of today’s nun "because she must meet greater needs." "Her life must be expressive of true, Christ-like grac iousness, love, and giving," she said. "To be full, it must be a complete giving of self to others." Fourth Session Date Uncertain BY FR. PLACID JORDAN, OSB (N. C. W. C. NEWS SERVICE) VATICAN CrTY — Now that it’s official that the third ses sion of the ecumenical council will end Nov. 21, speculation be gins to center on the fourth session. When will it be call ed? How long will itlast? Will it really be the closing session or will there be more to follow? Clearly the decision rests with Pope Paul, but to some ex tent it will also depend on the progress made during the in terim period by the committees entrusted with the difficult task of rewriting draft proposals discussed on the council floor but not yet voted upon. IN THIS regard a truly im mense amount of work remains to be done. The schemata on divine revelation, the lay apos- tolate and the Church in the modern world are just three of the many documents which must be "brushed up" so as to be come acceptable. This entails detailed consideration of liter ally thousands of amendments offered in the course of de bates. As a matter of fact, doubts are now expressed as to wheth er the schema on the Church can be brought to a final vote this session. The ecumenism schema may be the only one to be formally proclaimed as a decree at the end of this ses sion, provided difficulties re garding the annexed statements on religious liberty and the Jews can be ironed out. AT ANY rate, it has now been clearly established that the majority of the council Fathers insist on a thorough job being done, that they will not be satis fied with generalities and pious phrases but desire to see tangi ble results which the world at large will recognize as such. For the continued discussion on the Church in the modern world, about 300 speakers have yet to speak, and more may follow unless cloture is invok ed. The great importance of this schema is now evident, but it is realized at the same time that the numerous vital prob lems it raises have not matured to a point where- formal pro nouncements are feasible. THIS IS why further intense study must precede the presen tation of a new schema on this subject in the next session, and why the experts may not be ready to submit their conclu sions for at least another year if they are to avoid a patchwork declaration. Those who with perfectly good reasons of their own had hoDed for an earlier end to the coun cil point out that the prospect of its duration until 1966 im plies that a great many things will remain suspended, making it difficult for those concerned with Vatican administration during the interim period. Sour ces here stress that the over hauling of the Roman curia, which the Holy Father deems of particular importance if the re forms desired by the council are to be carried out, may be left in abeyance. It is no secret that preliminary steps toward curial reorganization have al ready been taken at the Pope’s request, but their scope will remain somewhat limited as long as the council has not concluded its labors. HOWEVER, such delay is the price that must be paid if the council program is to be re solved conclusively. It is now a certainty that the world’s hier archy is determined not to leave a big job half done. As French Jesuit Father Jean Danielou said here at a press conference, the world wants not only theo logical subtleties; it wants ex plicit answers to problems it faces today, and the Church must help find these answers "to make the world more hu man and to take its needs ser iously." 1964 PEACE AWARD of the Catholic Association for Inter national Peace is presented to Sargent Shriver (left) by C.A.I.P. president William E.
