“The Place” saw them

In the love and care they

share their own faith in a

“You can’t sort out
religion from y our
psychological state,” says
Sister Kathryn. “If you
can change f rom a
depressed and hopeless
person to a happy, hopeful
person, your conception
of God can change too.
You are able to accept a

punitive one who has
inflicted hardship upon

Death With Dignity In Florida
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (NC) - The Florida
Catholic Conference has opposed a
death-with-dignity bill that has been approved by
the Health and Rehabilitative Services Committee
of the Florida House of Representatives.
The bill provides for the execution of living
wills, or directives by individuals to their
physicians to withhold extraordinary treatment in
case of terminal illness.
Bishops Urge Voter Turnout
LIMA, Peru (NC) -- The Catholic bishops of
Peru encouraged citizens to vote in Peru’s first
presidential elections in 17 years and defined
some of the social issues facing the country, but
said the church should stay out of partisan
politics.
Death Penalty
WASHINGTON (NC) -- The Supreme Court,
while reaffirming its approval of the death
penalty, has again warned states that such a
penalty must be applied with strict
evenhandedness.
In a 6-3 decision released May 19, the court
overturned the death sentence of a Georgia man
convicted of killing his wife and mother-in-law
because, the court said, evenhandedness had not
been shown.
Lutherans On Polygamy
(NC) -- Churches should not close
their doors to polygamists “if the Holy Spirit
leads them to Christ,” participants in the All
Africa Lutheran Consultation said after a meeting
in Monrovia, Liberia. Lutheran leaders said
strategies should be developed for outreach to
polygamous families.
Liturgy Abuses Attacked
“We must continually take time and invest
creativity into listening to our people, especially the
poor.
For it is they who, out of their frustrations,
dreams and struggles,” must lead the way for all of
us.
Appalachian Pastoral Letter
■ February 1975
The end of Alice’s story
- or perhaps the beginning
- is touchingly successful.
Alice’s involvement with
Al-Anon drew her husband
to seek help from
Alcoholics Anonymous.
He is presently in the
process of starting his own
yard and lawn care
business. Alice’s job at
“The Place’’ is now
CETA-funded and she has
blossomed into a talented
weaver under the guidance
of Sister Nanevanne
Turner, whose artistic
talents complete the
Dominican team.
APPALACHIAN
PASTORAL
In 1975. the American
Bishops issued a pastoral
letter on Appalachia. In it,
they encouraged the
establishment of centers of
mountain culture and
reflection.
While the ministry that
Sister Kathryn, Sister
June. Sister Jean and
Sister Naneyanne share did
not flow f rom this
directive, it follows closely
the ideal that the pastoral
proposed. At “The Place”
they are able to provide an
income for members of
the community and keep
the mountain crafts alive
for future generations.
The sisters call their

supports the rural ministry
in salaries and housing.
Voluntary contributions
and sales of craft items
and used clothing at “The
Place” provide the rest.
It is to the credit of the
Archdiocese that relatively
secure metro parishes and
institutions have shared
their resources with the
sisters and their friends in
the mountains.
At. St. Jude’s, the
women’s circles fill
holiday stockings and the
parish St. Vincent de Paul
Society provides financial
support.
At Holy Cross, the
Dominican Fathers
voluntarily send a part of
their monthly allowance
to aid the sister’s efforts.
The Marist High School
Key Club conducts a
canned goods drive at
Thanksgiving and a toy
drive at Christmas.
Individuals, too, have
been generous in sending
donations to what is
properly called the
Archdiocesan Rural Social
Services.

and most delightful ways
of supporting this ministry
is to take a drive up to

- The celebration of
Mass outside church
without real need.
The Vatican
congregation further said
that women are not
permitted to act as altar
servers, although they may
be lectors, or readers, for
the scriptural readings and
may proclaim the
intentions for the prayer
of the faithful before the
Offertory.
The Congregation for
the Sacraments and Divine
Worship issued its
directives in an Instruction
on Certain Norms
Concerning Worship of the
Eucharistic Mystery, called
“In Aestimabile Donum”
(On the Valuable Gift),
from the first words of its
Latin text. Pope John Paul
II approved the document
April 17 and it was issued
by the Vatican May 23.
It was a follow-up to
the pope’s letter to the
bishops of the world this
past Holy Thursday on
“The Mystery and Worship
of the Holy Eucharist.”
The congregation noted
“with great joy the many
positive results of the
liturgical reform: a more
active and consci^u^
participation by : . e
faithful in the liln.gical
mysteries, doctrinal and
catechetical enrichment
through the use of the
vernacular and the wealth
of readings from the Bible,
a growth in the
community sense of
liturgical life, and
successful efforts to close
the gap between life and
worship, between liturgical
piety and personal piety,
and between liturgy and
popular piety.”
But the congregation
said it was concerned
about the abuses reported,
particularly confusion of
the roles of the priest and
the laity, loss of the sense
of the sacred and
misunderstanding of the
ecdesial character of the
liturgy, that is, its nature
as the official worship of
the church.
Calling the abuses it
cited “real falsification of
the Catholic liturgy,” the
congregation warned
against “the near
inevitability of violent
reactions.”
Season Of The Spirit
(Continued from page 1)
in addition to the special
Masses, the members of
the congregation held
frequent prayer services
for, and with, the eleven
young people in an effort
to bolster their journey
towards the sacrament.
As the Confirmation
date drew near, the scope
of the preparation was
expanded. A visit to the
Cathedral - where one
young man who made the
trip said, “We all really
enjoyed that rock mass,”
and a meeting with the
Archbishop all were
designed to develop a
sense of “church.”
“Sometimes the people,
particularly the young
people here feel a real
sense of isolation from the
rest of the Church,” Sister
Kate said. “Being so small
and being so far up here in
the woods leads people to
lose sight, sometimes, that
they are a part of a greater
hole; a very important
part.”
“You are called to be
disciples, apostles, and
witnesses,” Archbishop
Donnellan told the young
candidates in his homily,
“you must carry on life;
you must cooperate with
the Spirit.”
The promises of the
Spirit are difficult to live

out. All the weeks of
preparation are like a drop
in the bucket when it
comes to the lifelong
commitment that
Christians are obliged to
make.
“We’re more adult
now,” said Jim Geeslin,
one of the young men
Confirmed, “people can
expect more out of us and
we can expect more out of
ourselves.”
In a town like Canton,
kids have a hard time
being Catholic. “When I
first moved here, people
told me that only Baptists
could go to heaven,” said
Chris Murphy a 14 year
old who was born in
California.
Now that Chris has
been confirmed though
the road should be easier.
“1 think that it will be
easier to explain our faith
to people now that we’ve
all been confirmed,” said
Chris.
“We’re trying to be a
real presence here in the
community.” Sister Kate
said, “with this
confirmation we’ve taken
the first siep towards that
goal.”
On a warm spring night
in the hills of north
Georgia eleven young
people were confirmed.
Eleven new “mature
Christians” were initiated
into the Church. The
Spirit, we have been told,
is always with us; last
week in North Georgia his
presence was very real.
