FOLLOWING LOURDES PILGRIMAGE
Claim Scottish Girl Miraculously Cured
GLASGOW, Scotland (NC)
— A miraculous cure of
cancer has been claimed for a
six-year-old Glasgow girl who
made a pilgrimage to the
famed French Marian shrine
at Lourdes.
Three years ago, the girl,
Frances Burns, after years of
pain and surgical treatment,
was given up by her doctors
as dying. Her mother, Mrs.
Deidre Burns, in desperation
took her to Lourdes, where
she was bathed in the waters
of the shrine.
Mrs. Burns stayed only a
few days at Lourdes, fearing
that Frances, who had
become very weak, would die
before returning home.
When they arrived back in
Glasgow “even the ambulance
men who met us at the
airport were moved to tears,”
she said. “I took Frances
back to the hospital and
never expected to see her
alive again.”
But within two days
Frances was reported to have
sat up and asked for food.
Within a week the tumors on
her face had vanished.
“When I went to see her
she was sitting up in bed
eating an orange,” said Mrs.
Burns. “Within a week the
swellings had vanished and
two weeks later she was
home.”
Today Frances appears to
be a perfectly normal child.
Films of her on television
show her laughing and
romping with a friend in the
garden.
Dr. Stuart Mann, one of
Scotland’s leading
pediatricians and a consultant
at the Glasgow Hospital
where Frances was a patient,
admitted he is baffled by the
case.
The Protestant doctor told
reporters: “Her cure cannot
be explained in the light of
present medical knowledge.
It’s a pretty wonderful thing.
A miracle is not too strong a
word for her recovery.
The president of the
Lourdes medical bureau, Dr.
Alphonse Olivieri, was
reported in Britain as saying:
“Only once in many years
can we recommend to the
Vatican firmly that a miracle
has been performed. Case
notes were made on Frances
when she first arrived, and we
have waited three years to
make sure that the tumors
showed no sign of returning.
Since her recovery a doctor
appointed by us has
examined her. We must now
consider that a miracle has
taken place to save this
child’s life.”
Mrs. Burns, of suburban
Dennistoun, said Frances first
became ill when she was
about a year old. An
operation was performed to
remove one of her kidneys,
but tumors spread through
her body. The mother
accepted the fact that the girl
was dying.
Relatives and friends raised
the money to send the girl to
Lourdes, where Mrs. Burns
spent sleepless nights
soothing her child, who was
in constant pain.
“I just cried and cried but
went on cooling the fever in
her body with towels soaked
in holy water,” she said.

A LIVING MIRACLE? - Frances Burns, 6, of Glasgow, who three years ago was so ill with cancer
that doctors gave her only a few days to live, may soon be declared a “living miracle.” When
doctors gave up hope, her parents took her to Lourdes and bathed her twice in the waters of the
well there. Now, seen here recently, she shows no trace of the cancer, and doctors say it is not
likely to reappear. (NC PHOTO)
RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTORS
NCEA Plans Religious Education Forum
WASHINGTON (NC) - An
ongoing forum to help
Catholic teachers caught up
in conflict over the best ways
to teach religion is being
planned by the National
Catholic Educational
Association (NCEA).
A “very real dilemma” in
religious education developed
after the Second Vatican
Council, said Norbertine
Father C. Albert Koob,
NCEA president.
C hurch renewal and
modernization extended to
religious instruction, he said,

and the same basic problem
arose in that area as in others:
some felt threatened by the
modernization; some felt it
wasn’t sweeping enough.
“Caught in between these
opposing views are the
individual religion teachers,”
Father Koob said, “many of
whom have appealed to
NCEA for guidance and
direction.” NCEA numbers
7,000 Catholic school
teachers and administratiors
among its constituents.
One response to these
appeals was NCEA’s
publication last year of
Criteria for the Evaluation of
Religious Education Programs
-a workbook to help teachers
rate course content,
educational facilities and
resources, and their own
classroom effectiveness.
NCEA has currently answered
requests for 50,000 copies of
the Criteria -a document
with input from a broad
spectrum of religious
educators.
The National Forum for
Religious Education -due to
begin operation this fall -will
“build on the momentum”
achieved by distribution of
the Criteria, Father Koob
said.
The forum will provide
teachers with consultant
service if requested, help
them organize seminars and
workshops, and relay the
latest information on
textbooks, curricula and
teaching techniques.
“We plan to build on every
bit of existing information we
can get,” Father Koob said,
including material available at
the National Center for
Religious Education
-Confraternity of Christian
Doctrine, a U.S. Catholic
Conference (USCC) affiliate.
Norbertine Father Alfred
McBride, who has taught and
written widely on religious -
education, will be the NCEA
forum director.
“We’re not creating a new
NCEA division,” Father
Koob said. “We’re creating a
new operation within our
fundamental division.”

and secondary schools,

McBride when necessary.
Another forum task will be
to channel information on
what teachers in various
sections of the country are
doing to solve specific
problems in their field -“an
exchange of information on
what is happening here, here
and here,” Father Koob said.
But he emphasized questions
of doctrinal orthodoxy would
be relayed to USCC
theologians.
The forum will also urge
parental involvement in
religious education programs,
Father Koob said, since much
of the distress voiced in
religious education
controversies has come from
parents who do not
understand new teaching
techniques and emphases in
the field.
Besides helping teachers
develop effective religion
programs in Catholic schools,
the forum will also help them
face another problem which
has increased in intensity
recently with U.S. Supreme
Court decisions barring two
state aid programs for
nonpublic schools: the fact
that a growing number of
financially pressed Catholic
schools are closing their
doors.
