POR PADRE RICHARD KIERAN 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: Our Lady of Charity Conference Saint Vincent de Paul Society. C/o Mr. Alfredo Ledon 1732 Childrelee Lane N. E. Atlanta, Ga. 30329 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.

For All Your Very Special Occasions! “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.

GEORGIA BULLETIN ADS BRING RESULTS! 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. Thousands of area residents have spine SPINAL EXAMINATION Danger Signals of Pinched Nerves: 1. Headaches. Dizziness, Blurred Vision 2.
