Contemplative Sisters’ National Meeting
The Association of
Contemplative Sisters (ACS),
founded in 1969 as a national
non-profit organization for
contemplative women of
prayer, held its Sixth
National Assembly at Xavier
Center, Convent Station, New
Jersey, July 2 through 8.
In the almost 10 years of
its existence, the Association
has included members from
Canada as well as the United
States and is presently
attracting the attention and
interest of contemplative
women in many various parts
of the world. A future
forecast sees this organization
becoming an international
association embodying both
the ancient Monastic
traditions in the Church as
well as new forms of
contemplative living. This
international dimension was
visible at the recent Assembly
in New Jersey by including
among the participants Sister
- observers from Venezuela
and France.
A further thrust toward
an international vision was
evidenced by the affirmation
of this Assembly to consider
sponsoring or co-sponsoring,
with other Federations
and/or Associations around
the world, an international
colloquium on prayer in the
not-too-distant future.
For the past few years,
Sister Cecilia Wilms of
Spokane, Washington has
been officially filling the role
of international liaison
between European
contemplatives and the ACS.
Contemplative women from
South America, Philippines,
Taiwan, England, Belgium,
France and Italy have also
been in correspondence with
ACS members and receive the
ACS Newsletter.
Other invited guests
present at the Assembly
included the Reverend
Segundo Galilea, a Chilean
pastoral theologian; Father
Jean Leclercq, OSB, of
Louvain presently at
Fordham University in New
York; Miss Eileen Eagen from
the Catholic Worker; Father
Thomas Berry, CP, of the

No Welcome In Ireland
KILL ARNE Y, Ireland (NC) - Irish government officials
showed their displeasure at the pro-Irish unification leanings of
an Irish-American group by ignoring the group, which came to
Killarney for its annual meeting in late June.
The group, the Ancient Order of Hibernians in America, has
made no secret of its own displeasure with the Dublin
government over what it considers Dublin’s kowtowing to the
British government on the subject of Northern Ireland.
Prime Minister John Lynch of Ireland made it clear during a
recent visit to New York that he would send an official visitor
to the meeting in western Ireland only if the group would
refrain from showing its contempt for his government.
At its meeting, which drew 2,000 delegates and alternates
to Ireland, the group refused to approve a resolution of support
for Lynch’s government.
“I don’t believe in turning over blind support to somebody
who has shown very little respect to us,” said John M. Keane of
Jefferson City, Mo., past president of the Hibernians.
Keane, who had served the group’s limit of two terms as
president, was succeeded by Thomas McNabb of Auburn, N.Y.,
but continues as a member of the national board.
Keane said after the meeting that despite the Dublin
government’s reception, he was pleased with the results of the
trip to Ireland. “We met with various groups that might be
called ‘in conflict’ with one another. All agreed they’d like to
see some outside agency such as the U.S. Congress take a hand
in a peace settlement.”
The featured speaker at the gathering was Sean MacBride, a
former Irish foreign minister and Nobel Peace Prize winner, who
early in life had been a member of the Irish Republican Army.
MacBride, now an official of Amnesty Internationa!, a
group seeking to alleviate the lot of political prisoners
throughout the world, attacked the IRA for having recently
kidnapped and killed a Protestant policeman in Northern
Ireland.
He also praised the Rev. Ian Paisley, the Protestant leader,
for interceding with Protestant paramilitary forces on behalf of
a priest they had kidnapped. They released the priest unharmed.
While those comments were not of the type to set the
Irish-Americans’ eyes to smiling, MacBride earned his listeners’
favor with his praise for the Irish National Caucus in the United
States and Rep. Mario Biaggi (D-N.Y.), chairman of the Ad Hoc
Congressional Committee for Irish Affairs.
His praise for the caucus and the congressman touched an
area highly sensitive to the governments in Washington, Dublin
and London.
The Hibernians were highly receptive to MacBride’s praise
for Biaggi, whose committee was begun at the urging of the Irish
National Caucus.
But government leaders contend that the caucus is a front
for the Provisional IRA, the declared enemy of the Dublin and
London governments.

communications, tactics and weapons. As a squadron
communications officer, he was cleared for top secret by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and Naval Intelligence.
Lee is married to the former Natalie Jane Oster and they
have four children, Patricia, 18; Michael, 15; Christopher, 6, and
5-year-old Theresa. The family attends St. Jude the Apostle
Church, where Lee is an usher.
Before making his home in Georgia IS years ago, Lee
attended Fordham University and New York State Agricultural
and Technical Institute, graduating in automotive and diesel
engineering.

sworn into office April 6, 1977 to fill the unexpired term of

to serve as Tax Assessor. He is presently running for re-election
