Teens At Assumption Are On The Go!
On Tuesday, April 5, at
7:30 in the parish hall, the Jr.
Teens of Our Lady of the
Assumption will present their
interpretation of the Passion
of Christ. Those who
attended last year’s
production found it to be
both entertaining and
inspirational.
The history of the
Passion Play goes back 300
years to the Bavarian Alps in
Germany. It was the year
1633 and a terrible plague
was raging in the country.
Many of the villagers had
been stricken and it seemed
as if nothing could stop the
spread of the fatal sickness.
But finally it was over and
those who survived took a
vow. In gratitude for haring
come safely through the
ordeal, they promised that
every ten years they would
honor the Passion of Christ
by giving a play depicting his
last days on earth.
The Passion Play is not, as
some people think, a
portrayal of the entire life of
Christ. Instead, it depicts just
his last days on earth. It
begins with his triumphant
entry into Jerusalem on Palm
Sunday arid ends with his
crucifixion. Preceding each
act is a tableau portraying a
scene from the Old
Testament. A Chorus explains
how this incident from Old
Testament history has its
parallel in the New Testament
story of the life of Christ.
group, consisting of seventh
and eighth graders from OLA
parish, put together a circus
carnival for these kids.
The circus act opened with
talented young men on
unicycles. They surprised the
children with some unique
stunts. As the show rolled on,
the young children were
entranced by a young
magician. Changing the pace
of the show, two eighth grade
girls gracefully showed their
talents as gymnasts. The
closing act was one of hilarity
when four clowns danced to j
some unusual music and
ended with a whipped cream
pie thrown at a clown’s face.
Following the circus acts,
the children went upstairs to
rooms filled with games.
Some of these were bingo,
balloon breaking, face
painting, ping-pong tossing,
and fortune telling.
Everybody won some kind of
prize. After they were
satisfied with what they had
won, they went downstairs to
get a snack and watch
cartoons. Both the Jr. Teens
and their guests had a good
time.

On Sunday, March 13, the
young people of O.L.A.
parish celebrated Youth
Sunday with a series of
activities from mid-afternoon
to the evening. The events
began with bowling and
socializing at a nearby
bowling alley. This proved to
be a very enjoyable and
humorous experience for all
who participated.
After bowling, the group
headed back to the Church
for a special Mass with the
theme of “Let the Son Shine
in.” Instead of a psalm
response, slides of various
youth activities and service
projects were shown. Among
the slides shown were
pictures for the very
successful Fast-a-thon. Time
was also taken to acknowledge
Mrs. Vie Thorgren, the Youth
Minister, whose hard work
and dedication to Christ has
set an example for all the
young people.
At the conclusion of the
Mass, everyone gathered in
the parish hall for good
company and a tasty meal.
Afterwards, Mrs. Thorgren
gave awards to youth who
had given outstanding service
during the past year. The
recipients of the Outstanding
Christian Teen awards were
Bett Salyers, Mary Evan, and
Greg Anzalone. The evening
was ended by classes which
parents were invited to
attend.

This second production of
the Passion Play at Our Lady
of the Assumption is blending
the historical events and
modern meditation. The
dialogue has been adapted to
modern English and musical
selections from “Superstar”
and “Godspell” have been
added to increase its appeal
to the Jr. Teens. All seventh
and eighth graders were
encouraged to participate in
some way. The individual
roles were selected by the
teens themselves. Preparation
for the production began in
February and has required a
great deal of sacrifice and
dedication on the part of the
teenagers.

Four weeks ago, in
Immaculate Heart of Mary’s
cafeteria, “Action” and the
“Youth Choir” joined forces
in a hilarious comedy
presentation. Much of the
comedy centered around
Ringing in my ears is the
statement, “Oh, but
everybody does that!” That’s
not true. Every parish youth
group has their own ideas,
plans, circumstances, and
results. And don’t you forget
it.
Alex Saker tells me that
the Youth Council at Blessed
Sacrament is sponsoring a
Dance-Party as part of an
Inter-Council Meeting at their
parish on April 2. You can
contact Alex at 344-1616 if
teenagers from your parish
are interested in going.
Don’t forget the Passion

AID FOR AGED
WITH EMPHYSEMA
Sufferers with emphysema,
asthma, bronchitis and other
respiratory problems are
often told by their physicians
to use a program of
respiratory therapy -- usually
the use of a respirator at
home. That used to mean an
investment in the purchase of
a respirator or the rental of
one with monthly payments
that go on and on.
Now, Complete Breathing
Care, serving Florida for over
10 years, provides a way for
senior citizens and others
who are disabled with
respiratory problems to
obtain a respirator and
complete service, including
oxygen if needed, at no cost
to them!
Complete Breathing Care’s
certified inhalation therapist
will contact your physician to
discuss your respiratory
problem and therapy needs.
The cost is covered through
direct billing by Complete
Breathing Care to Medicare or
Champus or other insurance.
All you need to do is call
or write, (name, address,
phone number and doctor’s
name) Complete Breathing

puns and timely repetition,
the theory being that,
“What’s good enough for
Shakespeare . . .” While
admittedly that’s going too
far with comparisons, some
acts of particular merit were,
“An Evening With Grandma,”
“The W.C.” and “Little Red
Riding Hooded.” The final
play, “The Classroom,” was
written by Elaine Nappo and
deserves special mention for
its use of foils and
dangerously accurate
characterization. The folks
from “Welcome Back Kotter”
are hereby forewarned.
The Youth Choir more
than held up their share of
the show, contributing seven
musical numbers to the
program. Two particularly
funny songs were “I With I
Were A Thugar Bun” and
“00, EE, OO, AH, AH.” Yes,
you read them right. In a
humorous dramatization, six
boys and six girls combined
to sing “Will You Marry Me?”
And in a more serious vein,
Bob Wilson gave a strong
performance on the guitar
playing “Six String
Orchestra.”
Other acts included “The
Traffic Cop,” “Autobiogra
phy,” and the song “Weekend
in New England” sung and
played on the piano by Patti
Villars. Throughout the
evening Kevin Oshinski
accompanied many of the
acts on the piano. One
performance of special note
was “The Pickup” starring
Father Hugh Marren. It was
in this scene where Father
Hugh displayed a hidden
talent for picking up girls
while in black suit and
Roman collar. It is only good
bookkeeping to mention that
he was turned down three
times before finding success.
The show ended with the two
groups combining to sing “I’d
Like to Teach the World to
Sing.”
The Youth Choir and
Action staged this
performance for two reasons.
It was used as a fundraising
event for the Easter Egg Hunt
scheduled for April 9th and
for the Creative Playground
to be built by the teenagers
later in the Spring. Just as
important was the fact that
the Senior-Parishioners of
IHM were especially invited
to attend. For these reasons
and the many Carteresque
grins seen in the audience and
on the stage the event should
be considered a success.

A SCENE FROM THE UPCOMING Passion Plan at Our Lady of the Assumption.
The Work Of Youth Ministry
BY GINGER JONES
Jesus did not build
monuments or create
institutions. He called people
into a loving relationship with
Himself. The community
which formed around Jesus
supported, affirmed, and
cherished each other; and,
that is what Church and
youth ministry are all about -
people praying, searching,
sharing, and loving together.
The task of the youth
minister is to create within
the parish an atmosphere of
acceptance, concern, and
faith; so that, the young feel
welcomed and free to be and
to become the best person
possible. Somehow gatherings
of youth in the church should
be warmer, friendlier, more
challenging than any other
communities of teenagers.
The rewards of youth
ministry are tangible and
exciting. Not only da the
teenagers grow in faith,
knowledge, and concern for
others, the minister also
becomes deeper, richer, more
committed because of the
shared searching which goes
on in the faith community.
Ministers and youth grow
together and look forward to
a better tomorrow.
*****
Youth ministry rests on
commitment to Jesus as Lord;
to the young as unique,
valuable, irreplaceable
individuals; and to the
Church as the pilgrim people
of God. Without faith in the
Lord, youth programs
become empty entertain
ments, shorn of purpose and
direction. Without faith in
the young, youth ministry
degenerates into mindless
manipulation of people into a
statistical game. Without faith
in the Church, ministry is
meaningless, serving a mere
assembly of people rather
than creating a faith
community.
The young, like all of us,
hunger and thirst for
community, friendship,
identity, and meaning.
Effective youth ministry
seeks to satisfy as many of
these hungers as possible.
This purpose is best
accomplished by creating an
environment in which the
Word is proclaimed; and, the
young are invited into a
personal relationship with the
source of all meaning and life
-- Jesus, the Lord.
All of youth ministry is
conditioned by these
Christian realities and by the
characteristics of the youth
group being served. Some
groups seek faith, knowledge,
understanding and Catholic

identity; while, others are
action-oriented, primarily
concerned with seving those
brothers who are hungry,
thirsty, lonely. Other groups
place community and
communication at the head
of their list of priorities. A
youth minister can consider
himself (herself) especially
blessed if his (her) group is
interested in all three areas:
message, service, and
community.
Jennie Smith of Sacred
Heart/Griffin wrote to tell us
of an “Awakening” they had
last February 20. “This is an
introduction program for the
well known SEARCH. Deep
meditation, mind-scanning
questions and several fun
games were enjoyed by all.
A lay team from the
Archdiocese of Atlanta
consisting of Lee Golden,
Kevin Lyday, Lisa LeHaie,
and Beth Berreneau brought
these teens together as one
under the direction of John
Purdy. A covered dish supper
and a Folk Mass said by
Father James Kelly also
played an important part in
this very special event. Many
thanks to all who
participated.”
Since I am blessed with a
youth group that is more
loving, concerned, accepting,
and committed than I am, I
count myself as one of those
especially blessed by the
Lord. They have re-created
me time and again, as they
share with others and face the
lonely struggles of life. Youth
ministry finally for me is the
young who are God’s special
gifts and His most cherished
children.
“The Youth Group at St.
John Vianney in Lithia
Springs has been busy about
many things ... 1) helping to
clothe prisoners at the
Atlanta City Prison Farms, 2)
selling popcorn for Youth
activities, 3) planning a
skating party for February
12th in Mapleton, (I’d love to
hear how it turned out!) 4)
sponsoring a Youth dance on
February 18th at St. John
Vianney, 5) requesting
representation for Youth on
all parish boards and
committees, 6) preparing to
join the Youth from St.
Joseph’s in Marietta for a
Right to Life Program on
February 27th, and 7)
making plans to participate in
the LOOKING FOR SPACE
workshop at St. Pius High
School on February 26th.”
