ailing attention to the work of
he inner-city St. Vincent de Paul
arish Conferences. Father’s
omments were in order,
lowever,. I would like to add one
onference which seems to be
verlooked in much of the
ociety’s inner-city work. That
onference is Our Lady of
Charity Conference which is
composed of Latin Americans
who have been servicing the
needs of Latin-American
individuals and families for four
years, not only in the inner-city
but throughout Atlanta.
In my opinion there is no
conference equal to Charity
Conference in exemplifying the
work of St. Vincent de Paul.
Although its expenditures for
1 9 67-6 8 amounted to
approximately $3,000.00, an
equal amount in value of clothing
and furniture was distributed to
needy Latin-American families
and to say nothing of the many
hours spent each week in visiting
these families. Father Raphael
McDonald, Chaplain of this
Conference, and its President,
Alfredo Ledon, and the other
men who make up this
Conference, are to be
commended for their excellent'
work in serving the needy.
Very truly yours,
Joseph F. Murphy

we are, to God, in union with We are most grateful for our
Christ and each other. This is the young people, and the truth of
acceptable sacrifice. expression they possess
The truth, sincerity and
simplicity of the Folk Singers is
an example to all, regardless of
age.
The love of Christ fills us with
joy and peace. These two gifts are
possible to possess along with
piety. Piety means reverence.
Their willingness to participate is
reverence. Piety does not mean
long faces and drooping
countenances.
If anyone has not been able to
fully accept folk Masses it may be
because the spirit of offering is
something that is experienced,
rather than understood.

EDITOR:
Congratulations on your new
appointment as Editor of the
Georgia Bulletin. Have enjoyed
your “Georgia Pines” articles for
many years and am happy to see
that you are including so much
local news in the paper. Keep up
the good work!
Sincerely yours,

Limited Roles For
Married Clergy
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio-The U.S. bishops decision to permit the
ordination of qualified laymen over 35 as permanent deacons is a
popular move, if a spot check around the Youngstown diocese can be
used as a barometer.
But the ban on remarriage of
deacons who become widowers is
a puzzling provision to most of
those who responded to
telephone inquiries by the
Catholic Exponent, diocesan
newspaper.
John DeLong, public relations
director at Walsh College,
Canton, called the approval for a
lay diaconate a necessary step for
thinly populated areas, and
expects it to become necessary
also in thickly populated Catholic
areas, . especially “if the
population increase continues to
o u t st rip’ the number of
vocations.”
One result, DeLong said, would
■be better sermons.
“As far as being more
committed as a deacon rather
than as a layman-I feel it should
not make any diffemece. We all
have a responsibility as Christians
to be committed in the areas
where we work and in our
families-the fact that you’re a
priest, deacon or layman
shouldn’t alter that,
commitment.”
