ended an epic making "first” In
the Archdiocese of Atlanta.
The Archbishop said of the
event: "The Sister? Congress
has set the pace for the entire
archdiocese. Steady witnesses
of the Catholic faith to men and
women of these times, our 200
sisters have applied the modern
technique of the "open-end”
to some vital problems
"They have raised necessary
questions with an open mind, and
will continue their voluntary
service With an open heart. This
was the approach used by the
"Second Vatican Council. They
have shown all of us that the
church in its new vigor can live
and flourish in Atlanta and North
Georgia.
"The Lay Congress and the
Synod will be Acts II and III
to this real, catholic drama of
1966.
"By January 1, 1967, the
church should, under the move
ment of the Holy Spirit, be ready
for the complex critical, issues
ahead. We are grateful to the
sisters. They have proved to
be good pioneers.”

Jerry Hardy and Father Dan O'Connor.
mands not being met by existing
agencies. The possibility of
each or several communities
releasing a Sister to aid in this
work was suggested.
HEALTH SERVICES
This committee first recom
mended that a commission be
set up to explore the needs of
the Archdiocese and then to
serve in an advisory capacity
to the Archdiocese to see how
these needs should be met. It
suggested utilizing competent
lay personnel in vital positions
in Archdiocesan health insti
tutes, and guaranteeing bene
fits to personnel involved in
Archdiocesan health agencies.
The first general voting ses
sion recessed at 12:30. A con-
celebrated Mass, offered by
Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan,
Father Daniel O'Connor, and
Father Jerry Hardy, followed
the morning session. ’Fully
participated in, the Mass was a
meaningful expression of the
Congress body, brought togeth
er for the purpose of making
the Church a living reality here
and now in the Archdiocese.
A buffet dinner was served in
the cafeteria of St. Joseph High
School, and then the group re
convened for the completion of
the first general voting session.
