La comunidad catolica
del norte de Georgia esta
haciendo las preparatives
para dar asisteneia a unos
3,000 cubanos refugiados
que estan llegando a los
Estados Unidos en estos
dias, y que eventualmente
vendran a este area. El
esfuerza que se esta
haciendo depende en la
apertura dela comunidad y
su habilidad de SER Iglesia
a estos hermanos. Se
necesitan grupos de
familias que tomaran la
responsabilidad de ser los
patroci nadores de las
familias y los individuos
llegando como refugiados.
La sugerencia es que un
grupo de 5 o 6 familias se
unen para compartir las
responsabilidades. Una
familia debe servir de
coordinador del esfuerzo
del grupo. La mayoria de
las familias de un grupo
dado deben ser hispanas
para evitar difieultades en
la comunicacion con los
recien llegados. Pero se
esta animando a familias
americanas a cooperar
tambien. Cada grupo de
patrocinadores tendran
que proveerles TODO a los
recien llegados - vivienda,
trabajo, muebles, ropa,
asisteneia medica, etc.
Hasta la fecha no hay
fondos disponibles para
ayudar con la relocalizac-
ion de estos refugiados.
La meta de los grupos
de ‘‘sponsors” o
patrocinadores debe ser
ayudar a la familia o a los
individuos a ser
independiente dentro de
tres meses. Como existe
una comunidad de latinos
en ei area de Atlanta, y
grande, y ya en disposicion
de ayudar, esta meta es
realista.
Una vez que un grupo
de familias se forma en un
grupo patrociandor, debe
llamar o a Mr. Tam o a la
Sra. Vicky Gonzalez, en
las oficinas de Catholic
Social Services - 881-6571.
Esto es necesario para
que los patrocinadores
reciban la debida
orientacion y llenen la
solicitud para recibir los
refugiados. Los
patrocinadores en el
momento de llenar la
solicitud tendran la
oportunidad de decir que
tipo de personas o de
familias podran ayudar -
bien sea una pareja, un
soltero, una soitera, una
familia grande o pequena,
etc. Una vez firmades las
solicitudes, se asignaran los
refugiados tan pronto el
departamento de
Inmigracion les dejan
pasar.
Hay una necesidad
urgente para estos grupos
de patrocinadores. Es un
momento de gracia - una
momento en que podamos
darles la bienvenida a los
refugiados no solo a
nuestro pais sino tambien
a nuestra comunidad
catolica.
Tambien, aquellas
personas con muebles,
ropa, etc. deben informar
los grupos de patrocina
dores en su area o en su
parroquia. Asi, aun
personas que no pueden
unirse a un grupo de
patrocinadores podran
apoyar este esfuerzo. Los
articulos necesarios seran
recogidos en el momento
de su uso. Asi no
tendremos la necesidad de
almancenes. Donativos en
efeclivo - se pueden
mandar a:

Renewal At St. Pat’s
BY ALICE McCABE
Reservations for two Parish Renewal weekends at St.
Patrick’s, Norcross are almost filled, according to Mary
Ellen and Jim Macke, coordinators. It will be limited to
80 participants on each weekend, the one beginning May
30 and the one starting June 6.
The in-depth sessions, aimed al increasing love within
the Body of Christ, which is the church, will be held at de
Sales Hall in St. Patrick’s Parish beginning at 7:30 p.m.
Friday and ending with a Sunday evening Mass in the
church. Participants are urged to dress comfortably and to
bring floor pillows or lawn chairs for the long sitting
sessions.
The weekend will be directed by Rev. Christopher
Yarnold, MSFS, associate pastor. Others who will share
thor experiences of church community are Ann and
Charles Parker, Dennis and Claire Gallant, Maggie Winfrey,
and Denise Kilbride.
Because the church is made up of single, divorced,
widowed, mixed-marriage persons as well as married
people, the weekend will ideally be attended in
proportion to that balance within the parish.
Father Yarnold has devised a prayer, printed in a
recent church bulletin, to be prayed daily by ail
parishioners for the spiritual renewal of all those
attending. He has called on “veterans” of last Fall’s Parish
Renewal to act as registrants, “gophers,” and baby sitters
for the two weekends.

“Today’s Catholic” Defies IRS
MEETS ARCHBISHOP OF C ANTERBURY -
In Accra, Ghana, Pope John Paul II speaks with
Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runcie, head
of the Anglican Church. The pope and the
archbishop met for about an hour at the home of
Archbishop Dominic Kodwo Andoh of Accra.
TENT CITY BABY BAPTIZED -
Father Todd He via holds up
7-month-old David Perez Marguez,
the first baptized child in a “tent
city” at Fort Walton Beach, Fla. The
U S. Catholic Conference is helping
to resettle families and children such
as David, whom father Hevia
described as “the future of Cuba in
exile.”
SAN ANTONIO, Texas
(NC) - The archdiocesan
newspaper of San Antonio
has strongly denounced
and openly defied Internal
Revenue Service
regulations which prohibit
tax-exempt non-profit
organizations from
working on behalf of or in
opposition to candidates
for public office.
In an editorial
appearing only one day
before the May 3 Texas
primary, the paper,
Today’s Catholic,
complained about the IRS
regulations and then went
on to give its opinion on
the abortion positions of
various candidates for
president and for
Congress.
The editorial was
entitled, “To the IRS —
NUTS!!!”
“The IRS has warned
Today’s Catholic through
recent rulings that the
newspaper of the
Archdiocese of San
Antonio . . . cannot
attempt to influence
voters on controversial
issues such as abortion . . .
‘‘To that, Today’s
Catholic says emphatically
and in the biggest letters
we can find: ‘NUTS!!!’
“So here is what we
want you to know about
abortion and the
candidates on the ballot,”
the paper stated.
The editorial went on
to describe Rep. John
Anderson (R-III.) as u
“undoubtedly the most
abrasive pro-abortionist.”
It said Sen. Edward M.
Kennedy (D-Mass.)
‘‘regrettably has
consistently sided with
pro-abortion forces in the
Senate,” and it called
President Carter “the
master of being ‘personally
opposed’ but politically
expedient
The editorial
continued, “Ronald
Reagan is the only
presidential candidate who
is clearly opposed to
abortion and is willing to
use the political power of
the presidency to support
his position,”
Tiie editorial urged
readers to “use your vote
carefully (and) vote your
conscience.”
The IRS regulations
were issued and later
clarified in 1978 in an
attempt to describe the
extent to which
tax-exempt non-profit
groups could take part in
political campaigns.
Federal law prohibits
such groups, classified in
the tax code under section
501 c 3, from working on
behalf of or in opposition
to any candidate for
public office.
Commenting on the
IRS regulations, the
Catholic Press Association
(CPA) earlier this year said
religious publications
should feel free to report
objectively the positions
taken by candidates for
public office. But the CPA
also warned against any
appearance of endorsing or
opposing candidates.

Mission: Women Welcomed
BY THEA JARVIS
Set just back from the
traffic that dances down
Ponce de Leon Avenue on
its way to Atlanta sits an
old, one e-sta tely,
brick-columned residence.
It is just up from
Barnett Street, and if you
take the time to glance out
your car window, or lean
over in your MARTA seat
on the way into the city,
you might notice a few
ladies - perhaps
once-stately themselves -
walking the grounds.
This is the home of the
Women’s Union Mission.
It’s cornerstone is the
simple belief that society’s
“peripheral people” can be
welcomed, secured, and, in
some measure,
rehabilitated through
consistent Christian caring.
The residence began in
1969 as an outgrowth of
the Atlanta Union Mission.
Since that time it has
opened its arms to
o countless women society
would rather forget about
- alcoholics and drug
dependents, battered
wives, unwed mothers, and
mental patients.
The concerns of thp
Mission outreach were
explored last week at St.
Andrew’s Presbyterian
Church in Tucker. Mission
spokesperson Florence
Hackworth spoke
informally with St.
Andrew’s service circle
members, as well as
representatives from
Embry Hills Methodist
Church and Holy Cross
Catholic Church.
Mrs. Hackworth notes
that some of the women
leave after a time, more
secure and better able to
cope because people have
loved them. Others choose
to stay on, becoming
contributing members of
the Mission family.
“Billy” chose to stay.
She came to the Women’s
Mission almost defeated
by her dependence on
alcohol. Depressed and
physically debilitated, she
sought the services of the
Mission as a last resort.
Today, “Billy” is a
glowing example of the
Mission’s success in
turning its residents into
productive, caring people.
She proudly delivers her
own testimonial: “At last I
am free - this Mission gave
me the love of God.” As
director of the Mission
clothing room, Billy takes
pride in making those who
come to her in their need
as welcome as she was
made to feel.
The Christian
hospitality that Billy
practices is one of the
reasons why the Mission
thrives. Another is the fact
that the staff respects the
residents and insists that
the residents respect
themselves.
“Regular meals, daily
chores, health care,
counseling, and abstinence
from drugs and alcohol
combine to provide an
atmosphere that promotes
a healing of the spirit as
well as the body,”
according to members of
the Mission’s staff.
The Women’s Union
Mission is an inter-denom
inational effort. While it
espouses Christian
teaching - and actively
involves its residents in
Biblical study for
therapeutic and spiritual
purposes - it does so in a
spirit of free-wheeling
ecumenism. Church groups
from all over Atlanta are
active in ministering to
these women, and the staff
itself is a bold mixture of
many different Christian
affiliations.
Flo Hackworth is the
Mission’s secretary and
activities director. It was
her mother, Ruth Bryant,
who, many years ago, first
encouraged the women of
the Mission to draw and
write about what they saw
and felt. Mrs. Bryant’s
personal philosophy that
“art frees the spirit and
heals the mind” is carried
on in the art and poetry
classes that continue at the
Mission.
Flo is herself a realist
who exudes a joyful
confidence in doing the
Lord’s work. She admits
that when she first came
to the Mission she found it
depressing. But she soon
learned that beyond this
first impression lay
opportunities for hope and
healing.
“You feel overwhelmed
sometimes, but you stay
‘prayed up,”’ she smiles,
without a trace of the
pessimism that she first
experienced.
Praying, Caring,
trusting, the Women’s
Union Mission continues
to be a beacon to “the
least, the last, and the
lost” in Atlanta. It is, in
one resident’s words, “a
place of Cod’s grace.”
Teen News In “Kernel” Form
CHICAGO (NC) - If
you think GooseCorn is an
unusual name, you are on
the same wavelength as the
Claretian Fathers and
Brothers who chose it for
that reason as the title of a
new, four-page monthly
newsletter for Catholic
teen-agers.
GooseCorn will include
articles on such topics as
freedom and responsibil
ity, faith and doubt,
parents, authority, sex,
drugs, friendship and
peer-group pressure.
Teen-agers will
contribute to each issue of
the newsletter through
such departments as “Teen
Talk,” ‘‘Today’s
Questions,” and “Making a
Difference.”
Claretian Father Mark
J. Brummel, president of
Claretian Publications, said
the new newsletter arose
from the concern of the
publishing company about
the spiritual development
of young Christians.
“Today magazine served as
a welcome supplement to
high school religious
education programs, until
the shrinking numbers of
Catholic high schools
made its continued
publication impossible,”
Father Brummel said.
“But, since its demise
10 years ago, parents have
been all but pleading with
us to give them something
for their 13 to 15-year-old
children. No single
periodical can possibly
address the concerns of
the entire gamut of the
teen years. But we hope to
demonstrate that the
Catholic Church, its
teachings, its values and its
challenges, can be
appealing to freshmen and
sophomores in high
school. There’s a
tremendous unfilled gap in
the spiritual development
of this age group,
especially in areas where
Catholic high schools have
never existed or have been
forced to close.”
Claretian Publications is
offering GooseCorn
directly to parishes and
schools at 10 cents a copy
for orders of 100 or more
copies. An individual
subscription is $10 a year.
