(Archdiocesan Committee on
Evangelization)
From every comer of the archdiocese they came,
singing and holding high their parish banners. There
could be no doubt that the cause of Catholic
evangelization had caught fire throughout north
Georgia.
The event was last Sunday’s Archdiocesan
Celebration of Evangelization. More than 600
pastors, lay leaders, priests, and religious,
representing over 40 parishes, packed St. Pius X
High School for the two-hour program of
information, sharing, and music.
Presented by the Archdiocesan Committee on
Evangelization, the gathering had a two-fold
purpose to educate and motivate the people
responsible for evangelization on the parish level.
Highlight of the program was an address by Paul
Carlson, a nationally acclaimed specialist on
evangelization from Minneapolis/St. Paul. A retired
railroad executive, Carlson has been directing
church outreach programs for more than 18-years.
Carlson told the Atlanta audience that personal
contact is the key to successful evangelization, and
he challenged parish leaders to increase the size of
their membership by 10 to 20 per cent each year.
NANCY GARNER from Holy Family
parish participated in the Evangelization
Celebration.
The day of celebration also featured a
multi-media show which previewed a training
filmstrip on evangelization to be released for parish
use later this year. The film, professionally
produced by an Atlanta audio/visual house, linked
today’s call to evangelization with the model given
to us in the life of Christ.
Adult folk groups from Transfiguration and Holy
Family parishes provided the musical background,
and Atlanta business executive Walter Bedard was
master of ceremonies. Bedard’s humorous style was
bounced against Robert Beck, chairman of the
celebration planning committee, who served as
straightman and co-host.
A major portion of the program was devoted to
parish reports. Selected parishes had the
opportunity to share details of their evangelization
efforts, with an award for the “Brightest Idea”
going to East Marietta’s Holy Family Church.
A r award for largest attendance went to
Roswell’s St. Thomas Aquinas Parish, with an
estimated 100 people at the celebration.
Archbishop Thomas A. Donnellan closed the
event with a call to renewed commitment from the
evangelization workers.
The evangelization celebration was largely the
result of planning by Evangelization Committee
members Robert Beck, George Clements (St.
Thomas Aquinas Parish), and Ruth Maguire (Holy
Spirit Parish).
“Our next project is a media campaign to
support parish evangelization efforts during
advent,” reports Mrs. Maguire.
As the crowd filed through the exit and into the
parking lot, the spirit of celebration obviously went
with them. Some parish groups lingered to share
ideas with other parishes. Many talked or sang.
“I’m so happy I came,” said one parish
evangelization coordinator. “There’s so much I can
take back home to my church.”
So unique was the celebration that one Atlanta
television station arrived to document the program
on video tape for use in their news program.
Perhaps guest speaker Paul Carlson best described
the affair as an opportunity to “let your light shine”
for God.
Certainly, Christ’s light shines a little brighter
over Georgia as a result of the Archdiocesan
Celebration of Evangelization.

Bishops View Family Conference
WASHINGTON (NC) - Two U.S.
bishops, in letters to other members of the
hierarchy, have urged grassroot Catholic
involvement in regional and state public
meetings preparing for the 1980 White
House Conference on Families.
The conference was called by President
Carter to “examine the strengths of
American families, the difficulties they
face and the ways in which family life is
affected by public policies.” The
conference has a 40-member national
advisory committee.
“Grassroot Catholic participation in
these meetings is key to the eventual
success of the White House Conference
itself,’! said Bishop J. Francis Stafford of
Baltimore.
“Without genuine involvement on the
part of our people and those of similar
values, such a process will not work well
for the renewal of authentic family values
in our country,” he said.
Bishop Stafford is moderator of the
Catholic Committee for the White House
Conference on Families, a coalition
representing the National Conference of
Catholic Bishops (NCCB) and the U.S.
Catholic Conference (USCC), the National
Conference of Catholic Charities, the
National Catholic Educational Association
and the National Council of Catholic
Women.
In a letter accompanying Bishop
Stafford’s, Bishop Thomas C. Kelly,
general secretary of NCCB and USCC, also
encouraged “local involvement” in regional
hearings during the next four months and
in “state or governor’s conferences on the
family” which will take place in most
states between November and next April.
At the latter session most of the 2,100
delegates to the White House Conference
itself - actually a series of three national
conferences scheduled for mid-1980 - will
be selected.

Papal Visit Boosts Catholicism
LONDON (NC) - The visit of Pope
John Paul II to Ireland has increased the
interest in the Catholic church among
non-Catholics in England, according to the
Catholic Enquiry Centre in London.
The center normally averages between
50 and 250 inquiries a week, with about
three-quarters of these continuing to take
the center’s printed material explaining
Catholicism.
In the two weeks after the pope visited
Ireland, inquiries jumped to 300 to 500 a
week, said the center’s director, Father
Brian McEvoy. However, the jump was not
as high as after the pope visited Poland
when queries were over 900 in one week.
The overall inquiries received by the
center have increased since 1975, said
Father McEvoy, after steady decreases
from 1969 to 1974.
The number of non-Catholics being
received into the church, however, is lower
now than in the late 1950’s and early
1960’s. In 1977, there were 5,143'
non-Catholics received into the church and
5,378 were received in 1976, the last two
years for which figures are available. In
1957, there were 14,581 converts and in
1964, there were 12,348.

them and; 4) To offer that same invitation to any person
who has no church and no knowledge of the Lord’s love
for him.
The program will be as follows:
Sunday, Nov. 4 - “Forgiveness” — Healing, past,
present and future.
Sunday, Nov. 11 - “Catholic Identity” — Who are we?
