reaffirmation of church
teaching on the distinction
between the specific
ministry of the ordained
priesthood and the general
priesthood of all
Christians.
“We cannot doubt the
power of Christ, the work
of his grace. We must
think with him, right up to
the end, accepting that
what seems impossible to
men is nevertheless
possible to God,” said the
pope.
The pope’s remarks
followed a week of lenten
spiritual exercises that he
and other Vatican officials
attended under Brazilian
Archbishop Lucas Noreira
Neves, vice president of
the Pontifical Council for
the Laity. The theme of
the retreat was the
priesthood.
In his Angelus talk the
pope called Lent a special
time of prayer for priestly
and religious vocations.
“Let us all pray that
the ecclesiastical
seminaries and novitiates
be filled up again, so that
the individual churches
and the communities as
well -- parishes and
religious congregations -
can look with trust to the
future, assured that they
will not lack the workers
that the Lord sends ‘into
His harvest,”’ the pope
said.
Later that afternoon,
he visited the Jesuit-run
St. Robert Bellarmine
Parish in Rome and
stressed the need for
Christian living.
“Each one of us always
has to answer this
question: whether his
Christianity and his life are
in conformity with the
faith, whether they are
authentic and sincere,” the
pope said.
‘‘The answer,” he
added, “will be a little
different in each case ... I
will not give you too
particularized an answer. I
only ask each of you to
raise this question
constantly: What does
listening to Christ mean in
my life?”

Saint Patrick’s Hears Update
BY ALICE McCABE
St. Patrick’s Church, Norcross, given the
go-ahead by the Archdiocese of Atlanta to
build a $1.3 million complex on Beaver
Ruin Rd., will hear an update on plans
from the building committee at a special
Parish Meeting March 9 at 7 p.m. in the
parish hall.
Gene Slade, building chairman, and his
committee have been meeting weekly with
pastor, Father Joseph Meehan, MSFS, and
with architects Dick Diedrich and Tony
Paladino of Miller, Waltz and Diedrich. The
architects have incorporated as many as
possible of the suggestions and ideas
advanced by parishioners, especially those
tabulated in last year’s parish
questionnaire.
However, as Father Meehan pointed
out, “We must be flexible. We know what
we are hoping for, but it is out of our
control. We don’t control oil prices,
building prices and mortgage rates, and we
are trying to fit our requirements into our
budget.”
Father Meehan said the bids will be
ready to be advertised in April or May. If
they come back higher than the budget,
something will have to be eliminated in the
plan, he explained.
The plan at the moment, he said, calls
for a sanctuary seating 500, 16 meeting
rooms (two of which will double for
kindergarten daily for 3-5 year olds) an
entrance hall with baptismal pond, a daily
chapel, kitchen, parish hall, plus parking
integrated to the landscape to allow many
trees now standing to remain.
VATICAN CITY (NC)
- Pope John Paul II called
for more priestly vocations
and defended church
discipline on the
priesthood in his first
public appearance
following a week-long
spiritual retreat.
The comments were
made during the pope’s
Sunday Angelus talk
March 2.
“We cannot, then,
nurture hidden suspicions
or doubts about the
essence of the ministerial
priesthood, about the
justness of the age-old
practice of our church,
which joins the priesthood
to the disponibility to
serve Christ and the
church ‘with undivided
heart,”’ hfe said.
The pope’s reference to
serving Christ and the
church “with undivided
heart” was viewed by
Vatican observers as a
defense of mandatory
priestly celibacy in the
Latin-Rite church.
His comment on “the
essence of the ministerial
priesthood” was taken as a
GEIiARD SHERRY
Miami “Voice” Editor Resigns
MIAMI (NC) - Gerard
E. Sherry, executive editor
of the Voice, has resigned
effective March 28, 1980.
Sherry, who succeeded
retired editor George
Monahan in July 1978,
said he was returning to
the West Coast to operate
a family business and
become active in a
publishing concern.
Sherry said he
appreciated the
opportunity to serve the
Catholics of south Florida
and was grateful also for
the support he received
from Archbishop Edward
A. McCarthy of Miami and
officials of the chancery.
The Voice is the weekly
paper of the Miami
archdiocese.
“The Catholic press is
an important ministry
within the church. It is a
vital part of the bishops’
teaching arm - an exciting,
adventurous, even if
sometimes burdensome -
task for which there is no
substitute, even in this age
of the electronic media,”
said Sherry.
Archbishop McCarthy
said: “With the resignation
of Mr. Sherry, The Voice
and the archdiocese suffer
the loss of a distinguished
Catholic journalist who
has been seriously
dedicated to improving
our diocesan newspaper.”
“As he leaves us, I wish
him and his family the
blessings of God in their
new endeavors and I thank
him for his services in the
archdiocese and the
cordial relationship we
enjoyed,” the archbishop
said.
Sherry came to The
Voice after working six
years as editor of The
Monitor of the
Archdiocese of San
Francisco. He also bad
been editor of diocesan
newspapers in Fresno,
Calif., Baltimore and
Atlanta.
WASHINGTON (NC) -
Religion “floats above
life” if it is not
experienced in families,
Father John Shea told
educators at the East
Coast Religious Education
Conference in Washington.
Father Shea, director of
the doctor of ministry
program for the Chicago
Archdiocese, addressed the
conference’s theme,
‘‘Ministering with
Families,” calling ministry
“the place where people
and God intersect.”
More than 1,300 people
participated in the
conference, held Feb. 29
to M'arch 2. Speakers
included Father Joseph
Champlin, vicar for parish
life and worship for the
Syracuse, N.Y., Diocese,
and Tad Guzie, professor
for religious and moral
education at the
University of Calgary,
Alberta.
Maureen Gallagher,
national consultant for
Paulist Press, and Father
Edward Braxton,
chancellor for theological
affairs for the Cleveland'
Diocese, were also
featured speakers.
Father Champlin, in his
address on “Pastoral
Dimensions of Ministering
with Families” said “there
is big struggle going from
‘I’ people to ‘we’ people”
that is reflected in family
life.
Families are “people
linked together by faith,
grace, love and concern,”
Father Champlin said.
He called for ministry
to and with handicapped
people and said a survey
should be done in parishes
to find out what the needs
of the handicapped are.
“They have a function,
a gift, a ministry,” he said.
He used examples of
people he knows, a blind
lector and a eucharistic
minister who is in a
wheelchair.
Father Champlin also
said one-to-one marriage
preparation programs can
teach by example. “My
dream is that every parish
will have couples to
minister to the engaged,”
he said, adding that the
ministry can help the
married couple as well as
the engaged.
He said he has a vision
of ministry to the
seriously ill, the dying and
bereaved so that “no
person ever dies alone but
dies being held, hearing
the words of God.”
“I have a sense of
urgency,’’ Father
Champlin concluded. “I
see this as a great
purification time. We need
more and more lay
ministers. Either lay
ministers will have to take
up the task or it won’t get
done.”
Speaking on
‘‘Sacraments and
Ministering with
Families,” Guzie said
baptism has received little
attention and could be
made a more significant
event for families and for
the parish itself.
He gave examples of
how to celebrate a baptism
with family and parish
participation. He suggested
getting the community to
meet the parents of the
baby, having a meeting
between the bishop and
the families of baptized
infants, having a follow-up
program and even having
an anniversary celebration.
Ms. Gallagher said the
Christian family has three
challenges: to believe in
itself, that it can succeed;
to discover that
spirituality is inherent in
family life and to build
community with other
families in an effort to
reach out to others and to
be supported by others.
Ms. Gallagher also
spoke on “Parenting and
the Adolescent,” saying
that parenthood challenges
adults to reflect upon
what they believe about
themselves and about the
adolescents they
encounter.

PROMISE, the adult folk group from Holy
Family Parish, will present a concert March 15.
“Promise” Performs
Promise, the Adult
Folk Group from Holy
Family Parish in Marietta,
will present a concert of
song and witness at the
church on Saturday,
March 15th, at 7:30 p.m.
The concert is open to the
public.
Promise is a
Contemporary Christian
music group actively
proclaiming the Word of
the Lord through its gift
of music. The group began
singing together for the
12:00 p.m. Mass on
Sundays at Holy Family,
but the parish Renewal
Week last September
provided the inspiration
for the group to share its
music ministry throughout
the greater Atlanta area.
Since last fall, Promise
has become involved with
the Diocesan Renewal
Program and has sung at
several parish renewals.
The group has also
recorded commercials for
the Evangelization
Committee of the diocese
which have been aired on
seventy radio stations in
North Georgia.
In addition to
continuing its
participation in the
ministry at Holy Family,
Promise schedules concerts
as a means of sharing the
Lord through music.
Everyone in the group
strongly feels the
responsibility of extending
this music ministry.
Promise may be
contacted by calling Cathy
Fligg, 971-8608 or Beverly
Olszeski 971-3600.
POPE SA YS
Love Is Essential
VATICAN CITY (NC)
- “Only love, the soul of
the Gospel, allows us to be
always young,” Pope John
Paul II told more than
8,000 school children
March 2 in the Paul VI
Audience Hall.
At his first major
audience since ending a
lenten retreat, the pope
also condemned violence
and had a special greeting
for 13-year old Alfredo
Battaglia, a kidnap victim
who was recently released
after being held four
months.
“Assuring you that,
with anxiety, I was as
close to you as I am with
all the victims of
kidnappings, I am happy
that you now are among
us here,” he told Alfredo.
The pope’s main
message dealt with the
violence prevalent in
Italian society and the love
which must be present to
combat it.
‘‘You know the
episodes of violence in our
day,” he said. “How many
deaths they have caused
and how many tears!”
Pope John Paul told the
elementary and high
school students from the
Lazio region of Italy that
“whoever causes death is
not only old but is already
dead from within.”
“Life, in fact, springs
up only from love and
thus from another life, or
else from a death faced
lovingly, as that of Jesus,”
he added.
The pope urged them
to “cultivate the most
genuine love toward all,
always disposed to help
those in need, to pardon
those who offend you and
to correct or at least to |
pity those who commit^
injustice.”
Pope John Paul said
school children have a
duty to study diligently
and to maintain close
attachments to their
parents.
The audience was
granted primarily to mark
the 50th anniversary of
the Institute of the Sacred
Heart of Mary-Mary-
mount. Members of the
institute administer the
Marymount International
School in Rome.
Before the childrens’
audience, the pope met
with about 100 fellow
Poles from the mountain
town of Zakopane,
Poland, a winter sports
resort within the
Archdiocese of Cracow.
The pope often visited
the resort when he was
Archbishop Karol Wojtyla
of Cracow.
