with this attitude from his
mother and constantly
repeating it in times of need.
The Beltrans try to get
together as often as possible,
especially on major holidays
and for Mrs. Beltran’s
birthday, which she will
celebrate on April 8, less than
two weeks before her son
becomes Bishop of Tulsa.
Having lost one child in
infancy, the Beltran clan
numbers eight children. In
addition to the Bishop-Elect
and Father Joe, there is Sister
Mary Sponsa of Reading,
Pennsylvania, whose work as
a Missionary of the Sisters of
Bemardine of Saint Francis
has taken her to many remote
areas of the world, including
West Africa. Miss Helen Marie
Beltran is a teacher in
Eatonton, Georgia. Angeline
is Mrs. Henry J. Cebulski of
Conyers; Delores is Mrs.
Gerald Carrier of
Philadelphia; Mary Ann is
Mrs. Carey Florence of
Atlanta, and the baby of the
family is Atlanta attorney
Frank J. Beltran.
Twice during the years of
rearing a family, Mrs.
Beltran “took a break” of
seven years between giving
birth. “But,” she says, “we
would start wanting a baby in
the house again, so along
would come Delores, or Mary
Ann, or Frank . . .”
Babies are always special
and Mrs. Beltran pointed out
that Mary Ann, the youngest
girl, has always been “our
little queen” and the
last-born Frank will always be
< “the baby.”
>
„ Babies are also responsible
ij for the Beltran family
m becoming residents of
* Georgia. After Angeline
o Beltran became Mrs. Henry
r Cebulski, she and her
!< husband moved to Georgia,
where Henry was employed
in Gainesville.
Following the birth of the
first Cebulski child, Angeline
called to ask her mother if
she could come to Gainesville
to help with the new arrivSi.
With three small children of
her own at home, Mrs.
Beltran declined the
invitation, but volunteered
her husband to go “to
babysit.”
Mr. Beltran liked Georgia,

Western S telle Company in
Gainesville and before long
the Beltrans were Georgians.
That was in 1953 and two
years later Father Joe was
ordained at the Cathedral of
Christ the King. Father Zeb
was ordained at the Cathedral
in 1960.
Although she does not
drive, Mrs. Beltran was once
given a new automobile by
her children. “I was happy
with the car, but never did
learn to drive it!” she related.
She relies on family and
friends for transportation and
both she and Mrs. Beriew
keep active.
“We use to go on short
trips with Father Zeb. That
was his way of repaying us
for taking care of him, but we
don’t travel much anymore,”
she said.
“So many people think we
don’t have anything to do,
but Helen and I stay very
busy. We have done a lot of
work for the Cancer Home,
but don’t go there much
anymore. We do sew pads for
the home, however, and do
what we can to help.”
With two sons serving as
priests in the metropolitan
area, Mrs. Beltran divides her
time between their two
parishes. A typical weekend
finds her at the Saturday
Vigil service at Father Joe’s
new All Saints parish in
Dunwoody and at Father
Zeb’s Sunday service at Saint
Anthonys.
She likes to go to Saint
Anthony’s on Sunday
because it gives her the
opportunity to gather her
son’s laundry, prepare it on
Monday and return it on their
“Tuesdays together.”
Is Mrs. Beltran looking
forward to attending her
son’s ordination and
consecration in Tulsa?
“We’ll see what happens,”
she said. “The children have
already told me to buy a new
dress and get ready for the
trip, but I just take one day
at a time.”
Somehow, we feel that she
will definitely be there on
April 20, to further delight in
the latest honor to come to a
member of her adored and
adoring family.
A recipient of the Cross
Pro Eccelsia Pontifice from
Pope Paul VI in 1965, Mrs.
Beltran is very hesitant to
discuss her own past
achievements and honors.
“I will look for credit
when I go upstairs, not
before,” she said.
And credit in abundance
will surely be Helen
Kozlowski Beltran’s!

better schedule - somewhat.
So, fellows, get your groups
together; make your
reservations. You, too, might

ocean in a silver plane, see the
jungle when it’s wet with

Bishop-elect Beltran’s
present parish, situated in the
oldest part of Atlanta, has
many unusual things going
for it. A lunchroom project
with hot meals served every
day by the Go-go girls of the
Senior Citizens group. Two
collections every Sunday, you
can count on it. And, believe
it or not, chickens in the
backyard with fresh eggs
every day. Eusebius with his
Spanish blood may not be an
Isadore or a Monsignor Regan
(he’s our vetinary expert),
but he does commune with
nature, and he should be right
at home in the wide open
spaces of Oklahoma.
Last Thursday at the
regular meeting of the
Thursday Group, after
congratulations and the usual
pleasantries had been
expressed by all, a toast
(non-alcoholic for those of us
observing the Holy Season of
Lent as it should be) was
proposed by Monsignor Mike
Manning to Bishop-elect
Beltran.
In the course of his long
and witty remarks, the good
Monsignor said: “Many years
ago when ‘Zeb’ was my
assistant, it was said by a
visiting priest, ‘he would go
far.’ The Holy Father didn’t

Bishop-elect Beltran was
