VATICAN CITY (NC)—Pope
Paul VI has urged Catholics
who find it hard to like or even
adjust to the new liturgical chan
ges in the Mass to be “docile
and have faith."
Speaking at his regularweek-
ly general audience Clan. 13),
tne Pope made it clear that he
is aware of the many difficul
ties some Catholics are having
with the changes brought about
by the ecumenical council’s lit
urgical constitution, which
seeks to unite the congregation
more closely with the actions of
the priest offering Mass. The
Pontiff stated:

WASHINGTON (NC) — Pope
Paul VI has appointed the Most
Rev. John J. Carberry as the
Bishop of Columbus. Until now
Bishop Carberry has been Bis
hop of Lafayette in Indiana. The
appointment was announced here
by Archbishop Egidio Vagnozzi
Apostolic Delegate in the United
States.
Bishop Carberry, 60, suc
ceeds to a see left vac ant by the
transfer of Bishop Clarence G.
Issenmann to Cleveland, where
he will be enthroned Feb. 2 as

Administrator.

forms may affect personally
treasured and perhaps even ac
ceptable habits (of following the
Mass). One can say that the re
forms require some effort at the
outset which is not welcome.
But we must be docile and have
faith.
‘The religious and spiritual
plane which is opened to us by
means of the newliturgical con
stitution is stupendous by virtue
of the depth and genuineness of
its teaching, by virtue of the
rationality of Christian logic,
by the purity and richness of its
cultural and artistic elements
and by the virtue of its re
sponding to the nature and needs
of modem man.”
THE Pope said that the Church
through the liturgical constitu
tion and successive instructions
“modifies certain aspects of
laws governing ritual, which
are today inadequate, and seeks
courageously yet thoughtfully to
deepen its essential signifi
cance, to deepen the communal
requirement and supernatural
value of ecclesiastical worship,
putting in better evidence...the
function which within that wor
ship is exercised by the word of
God, both that of the Bible and
that of instructive...means of
the catechism and sermon.”

ARCHDIOCESAN EXPANSION
Center Will House
Offices Of Lay Units
The new Lay Center which is part of the Expansion Program will house the headquarters of all or
ganizations within the Archdiocese. Three of the major groups within the archdiocese are the
Council of Catholic Men, the Council of Catholic Women, and the St. Vincent De Paul Society. We
therefore print below a summary of their aims and activities in order that they become better known
to our people.
Men
The National Council of Cat
holic men is a federation of
Catholic men’s organizations
established by the hierarchy of
the United States to promote
and service the development of
the lay apostolate.
Member organizations of
NCCM are parish societies, in
ter-parochial groups, state
wide organizations, diocesan
federations and national or
ganizations.
NCCM SEEKS to establish
in every diocese a unifying fe
deration of all the men’s or
ganizations in that diocese.
These diocesan federations are
generally known as diocesan
councils of Catholic men. The
Atlanta ArchdiocesanCouncil of
Catholic Men is an example:
■' The Diocesan Councils of
Catholic Men form subordinate
counterparts called Deanery
Councils to which the parish
and inter-parochial organiza
tions affiliate.
Approximately 10,000 men’s
organizations with a total mem
bership of nearly 9 million are
affiliated with NCCM.
THE NATIONAL Council of
Catholic Men is governed by
a General Assembly consisting
of the Presidents of Diocesan
Councils and national orga
nizations who, in turn, elect an
executive board of 16members.
Their direction is carried out
through a staff of 35 trained
professionals.
A Diocesan Council of Cath
olic Men is primarily concern
ed with implementing programs
to meet the apostolic needs
of the diocese. These needs are
of two types:
• Local needs or issues af-
feting the people of the dio
cese that are created by the
peculiar religious, economic,
social, geographical and poli-

Women
The Atlanta Archdiocesan
Council of Catholic Women is a
federation of the organizations
of Catholic women within the
Archdiocese of Atlanta: A1—
tar and Rosary Societies, Gu
ilds, Bookshop, Auxiliaries, and
so forth.
We know that an organiza
tion is people banded together
to work together for a common
goal. The common goal of the
Atlanta ACCW is the promotion
of the work of the Church in
the Archdiocese according to
the plan of the Archbishop. The
ACCW unites the affiliated or
ganizations in purpose, voice,
and action inmatters which con
cern the life of the Church in
the Archdiocese. It does not
in any way change the purpose
or interfere with the authority
of the affiliate. Rather, it off
ers to the local unit and to the
women who "are itsTinemBerS
an opportunity to participate in
the program of Catholic Action
given to the women of the Ar
chdiocese by the Archbishop.
THE SCOPE of the program
is National, because, within the
nationwide federation, NCCW
provides unity of purpose, vo
ice, and action, as well as pro
gram suggestions and assi
stance, for Catholic women thr
oughout the United States'.
The Archdiocesan Council of
Catholic Women receives its
authority from the Archbishop.
It is he who selects the areas
upon which the Archdiocesan
program is based.
The ACCW administers the
program by means of a Board
of Directors’ consisting of a
president, recording secre
tary, and treasurer, elected by
the Board from among their nu
mber, and three vice presidents
who are the three presidents of
the three deaneries, and who
are elected by their respect

tarian, corresponding sec-

Charity
While the Society of St. Vin
cent de Paul is generally known,
many conceive it to be merely
a dispenser of material relief.
The distribution of material
relief truly is one of its im
portant functions, but this is
merely one of the means toward
a more important object, viz.,
the sanctification of souls, in
cluding those of its members.
AFTER PROVIDING urgent
material relief, they make re
gular weekly visits to the homes
of the Poor; endeavor if pos
sible, to make them self sus
taining by securing employ
ment, etc. Thus having gain
ed their confidence and good
will, many opportunities pre
sent themselves for frequent
ly needed spiritual services.
They make regular visits to
hospitals and other institutions
to distribute wholesome litera
ture; to offer consolation and
possible personal services.
During such visits, frequent
opportunity present themselves
to cause the return of one sin
ner.

Annual conference reports
reveal that many children are
brought to the parochial
schools, improperly execut
ed marriages rectified, a great
number of persons induced to
return to long-neglected prac
tice of their religion. Baptisms
and funerals are arranged, etc.
