nurture of the retarded as
superfluous. We have done the
retarded a great disservice by
calling them ‘saints’. We thereby
effectively isolate them from the
life of the Church.”
Father Kieman said that the
retarded must be considered as
regular members with some
special needs-“just as the elderly,
poor and sick have special
needs.”
Larry Schwartz, director of
education at the Temple,
described the services for the
retarded developed by the Jewish
community during the past two
years.
The Rev. Milton Snyder, senior
clinical chaplain, at Central State
Hospital, Milledgeville, discussed
the religious nurture of the
families of the retarded. He said
that often, the parents of a
retarded child cannot find the
help they need to accept and
understand their child. The
pastor often feels inadequate to
help them, and refers them to
someone else.

Bishop Ernest Unterkoefler of Charleston and Auxiliary Bishop Joseph M. Breitenbeck of Detroit. The snrine
meeting of the bishops is being held in St. Louis. v e

joined a group of diocesan priests
and Religious in questioning the
merits of efforts to raise funds
for a new and modem national
Marian shrine at Altagracia.
Following a statement by the
priests asking that funds to be
raised for the shrine by a national
lottery be diverted to the
development of works such as the
Tavera dam, Bishop Juan Pepen y
Soliman of Nuestra Senora de la
Altagracia in Higuey, in whose
diocese the shrine is located,
urged that a national plebiscite be
held to decide whether the drive
for shrine funds should continue
or should be postponed “until
our main problems of
underdevelopment are solved.”
Little progress has been made
on the shrine project-at present
only a modest church-because of
a lack of funds. The blueprint
calls for a' modem Marian shrine
and complex of buildings
covering almost a square mile. It
was approved by the Dominican
bishops several years ago to
honor our Lady of Altagracia as
patron saint of the country.
The shrine was planned also to
serve as a cathedral for the Higuey
diocese, but Bishop Pepen, in a
widely circulated letter to news
media asked “that everyone voice
his or her opinion on whether or
not the continuation of the
works at the shrine will benefit
the Christian people.”
“When I took charge of the
See in 1958,” the bishop said,
“the work of the shrine was
about at its present stage.
