Four Nuns Join Parish;
Will Serve Holy Cross
EDITOR:
Regarding Louis C. Fink’s
letter on Pope Paul’s encyclical of
Human' Life; my husband and 1
support in full our most Holy
f ’Father’s reiteration of the natural
law.
In this day of emphasis on the
bible some men must have
overlooked Christ’s statement,
“Suffer little children to come
unto me.” Perhaps with modem
speed reading, to them, it reads,
“Have no little children who will
have to suffer.”
Four new parishoners at Holy
Cross parish are the Sister
Servants Of the Immaculate
Heart of Mary. They want to be
known as ‘parish people.’
Sisters Marie Anne Flanagan
and Marie Russell Holland are
planning the school of religion
program for the parish in
cooperation with the board of
education. Sisters Lauriann
Keating and Ann Paula Gascogne
will teach full-time at St. Pius X
high school.
“We plan to work together
with the parish community.
Although our main work is
religious education, we are
interested in all the parish
activities and want to be known
as parish people.
When school starts in
September, parents at Holy Cross
center will begin a five-week
adult training program to prepare
them as cathechists in the school
of religion. There is a new
emphasis on the parental
responsibility for the religious
education of the children. Sister
Marie Russell said, “Many parents
have told us that they are aware
of the changes in the Church, but
they don’t know how to explain
them to their children.”
The Sessions include courses in
theology, methodology and child
psychology. “In the past,
religious education stressed
dogma and doctrine. Teaching,
telling and memorizing have been
replaced by contemporary
techniques that stress alive
personal relationships with God,”
said Sister Marie Anne.
The emphasis in religious
education today depends upon
making the church a part of life
experience, a new religious
dimension that encourages
children to ask questions,
participate in discussions, the
nuns said.
J. B. Green, president of the
parish board of education, said
“Last year we had an enrollment

EDITOR:
In the August 22 issue of The
Bulletin eighty-two people signed
a petition and urged all Catholics
who share their opinions to join
with them in speaking out on
Pope Paul’s encyclical concerning
birth control.
The statement defines the
subject of birth control as an
intimate and complex human
relationship. Complex it will
always be, but in making
statements to city and church
newspapers plus urging others to
speak out and join with them in
public and published statements
hardly keeps the matter personal
or intimate.
If those who oppose the
Pope’s encyclical find they are
denied their individual freedom
and believe their consciences are
inviolable should have no uarrel
with the Pope’s statements, their
consciences are their guides. They
have no need for support of what
an inviolable conscience dictates.
A moral issue is not determined
right or wrong by a majority rule.
organize to urge others to
publicly endorse a statement on a
subject of personal conscience.
The control of births is a
serious world problem that will in
time be resolved by a meeting
ground eventually arrived at by
science and religion. Meanwhile,
it remains to the individual a
personal and intimate matter.
Keep it that way.
