other occupations. Fr. Kerscher was
sponsored at the theologate by
Archbishop Thomas A. Donnellan

mature age with “second careers” in
the priesthood. Forty-two dioceses
and nine religious communities are
represented in its present enrollment
of 119 men. The average age is 40.

Future Renewal Needed
SUN VALLEY, Idaho (NC) - American
bishops and liturgists attending the 12th
annual meeting of the Federation of
Diocesan Liturgical Commissions (FDLC)
said they were dedicated to meeting the
challenges of Catholic worship in the 1980s
and discussed the vital need for
cooperation.
The meeting’s theme was “Shepherds
and Teachers: The Bishops and Liturgical
Renewal.”
Archbishop James A. Hickey of
Washington, in the keynote address to 27
bishops and 300 liturgists, asked for
mutual assistance and said he foresaw
significant activities in the future. “As
instructive and productive as the past 20
years have been in the United States, the
next 20 will be more important still,” he
said.
No individual bishop can undertake the
challenge of liturgical renewal alone, he
said. “He needs the support,
encouragement and expertise of so
many . . . the expert knowledge of
1-turgists, the liturgical centers and
commissions, the theologians, the poets,
the artists. He needs the insights of men
and women of diverse racial, ethnic, social
and economic groups.”
A cable from the Vatican conveying
Pope John Paul II’s message to the
assembly also referred to cooperation. The
cable cited the pope’s encouragement of
diocesan liturgical commissions in
implementing Vatican II’s liturgical
reforms. “Through their programs of
education they (the commissions) help the
clergy and all the faithful better to
understand the public and official
character of the liturgy .. . (and) they
assist the diocese and all parishes to
become in a fuller way communities of
prayer and praise,” said the cable.
Father Paul Demuth, director of the
Liturgical Office of the Green Bay, Wis.,
Diocese and FDLC chairman, listed the
group’s accomplishments and challenged
members to continue their efforts to
deepen liturgical renewal in U.S. dioceses
and parishes.
Regarding the future of liturgical
renewal, he said, “I sense a growing
awareness of a conservative atmosphere
and trend in our church and society.
“I see this mood as a direct challenge to
our creativity and a call for us to proceed
with the deeper concerns of liturgical
renewal.”
“This is no time for fear . . . rather (it
is) a time for the church and her leaders to
pursue with vigor the challenges that
authentic worship of our God demands of
a believing community,” Father Demuth
added.
Bishop John Cummins of Oakland,
Calif., spoke on the new Rite of Christian
Initiation of Adults, calling it the work of
the future “in which we as bishops must be
deeply involved.”
The highest priority was given to the
BCL project studying and evaluating the
basic structure of the new Mass after 15
years of use in this country. The extensive
project is scheduled to start in 1981 with
the FDLC and BCL working together to
contact bishops, priests and laymen in
every diocese to see how the revised liturgy
of Vatican II has improved the spiritual life
of the people and American worship.

A quien se le hace
dificil ser un buen
catolico? A mi, por
supuesto. Despues de
hacer desayuno, llevar los
ninos al colegio, llevar
atrasado el pago del
telefono (por haragana),
manejar por toda Atlanta
como chofer de Taxi y
banar al perro. Claro que
yo no tengo perro y solo
tengo una nina.
Todas las tareas del dia
a veces se ven casi
imposibles de terminar a
tiempo y satisfactoria-
mente. Por que? No lo se.
Tal vez tratamos de hacer
nucho en poco tiempo, al
menos yo. Tal vez somos
haraganes, tal vez
solamente yo.
Yo se que esto suena al
Yo Pecador. Y asi tal vez
es que yo me siento, Por
que? Porque no soy
perfecta en mi vocacion?
Porque no acudo al
llamado del hermano
como quisiera? Porque no
borro de mi mente todo lo
demas y digo: Senor hazte
cargo tu de todo ahora.?
Mientras mejor trato de
ser, me siento mas
pecadora.
Alabado sea el Senor,
porque cuando empeze mi
jornado como cristiana,
nada malo veia en mi sino
en mi vecino. Ahora
muchas veces oigo la Misa
y me siento indigna de
llegar hasta la Mesa de mi
Padre a participar del
banquete. Como me llama
el Senor a mi? Que puedo
yo darle? Que la puedo
ofrecer que El no tenga?
Realmente nada... y
todo. Todo lo que yo soy
con mi mas grande amor.
Es maravilloso saber
que El me quiere con
todos mis defectos. Asi
cojeando de las dos piernas
no solamente de una. Yo
se que el Senor me va a
sanar de mi avaricia, de mi
poco amor al projimo, de
mi falta de dedicacion a mi
vocacion.
Es grande y maravilloso
el Senor que de un pedazo
de nada nos hace algo.
Tenemos la promesa de ser
algo bueno, lindo, todo
porque nos ve ahora como
seremos cuando El haya
terminado de pulirnos de
asperezas y de barnizamos
con su amor.
Que necesita el Senor
de mi? Nada. Que necesito
yo de El? Todo. Como me
acerco yo a El? Amandole
a El, amando a mi projimo
y exponiendome a
experiencias que dan el
balsamo sanador que yo
necesito.
Un dia de retiro, un
cursillo, un encuentro
matrimonial para que el
Senor llene mi vida
familiar de El. . . Un dia
de renovacion . . .
Renovacion de que? De mi
compromiso con Cristo y
con la comunidad
cristiana; de mi promesa
una vez de ponerme en sus
ma nos y dejar que El me
pula y me forme.
A veces pensamos que
es tonteria, pero el Senor
nos ama tal como somos y
espera que al amarlo a El
nos pongamos en sus
manos para que El nos
pueda tornar en vasijas
perfectas, sin grietas para
llenamos de su amor.
Quisiera compartir un
dia de renovacion con
nosotros? Se llevara a cabo
el sabado, primero de
noviembre, desde las nueve
de la manana en la
parroquia del Inmaculado
Corazon de Maria.
Alabemos al Senor y
dejemos que El nos llene
de su jubilo y de su amor.

Marist On Stage!
St. Pius Worker Hurt
A worker at St. Pius X High School was injured
Wednesday morning, and the school’s 840 students
safely evacuated, after an accident in the cafeteria.
Lamar Holmes, a bus driver and cafeteria worker,
was hurt when a “backflash” occurred as he was
opening the door to an oven, according to Madeline
Estafen, financial administrator of the school. He was
treated at St. Joseph’s Hospital and released, she said.
Students were evacuated to the football stadium
when the incident occurred at about 9:30 a.m. School
officials praised the swift response of DeKalb County
Police, fire and ambulance services who were on the
scene in minutes. No other injuries were reported. Mrs.
Estafen said school nurses Glori Rogers and Jeannie
Culver assisted by sophomore Keith Guthrie
administered first aid to Holmes before ambulances
arrived.
Up the curtain and dim the lights.
Marist is on stage! Bards, troubadours,
minstrels, and dancers may well be visiting
the Northside campus in the future to
entertain and delight sudents, parents,
alumni, and friends alike.
The Marist campus has been gradually
developed since the school’s relocation
from downtown Atlanta in 1962. To
complete its latest phase of development
instituted in 1975. Marist opened the doors
to Woodruff Auditorium on October 7.
The building, named for the Woodruff
family in recognition of its long-standing
support of Marist, seats 366 around the
center stage. The design facilitates various
activities from musicals to lectures.
Construction of the auditorium reflects
a growing emphasis being placed on the
performing arts at Marist. Since its
beginning in 1901, Marist has adjusted
itself to the changing society around it. As
most Northsiders are aware, the school is
no longer an all-male military institution.
Females now grace the Ashford-Dunwoody
campus and have become an integral part
in improving the fine arts programs at
Marist.
The Woodruff Auditorium covers
10,000 square feet and contains two
dressing rooms complete with make-up
lights, a video control center, and display
cases in the lobby for student art work.
The Marist Parents’ Club raised funds to
purchase a baby grand piano, the royal
blue stage curtain, and a podium that
doubles as a control center where lights,
sound, and video machines can be adjusted.
An added feature of Woodruff is found
in its masonry. Due to Marist’s richness in
heritage, Father James L. Hartnett, S.M.,
Principal, placed two bricks from the old
Ivy Street Marist in the outside wall of the
auditorium. The bricks serve as a reminder
of the past and exemplify the fact that
Marist mixes the old with the new.
Incidentally, the “old Marist” was taken
down in 1978.
The building will be used for a variety
of activities including debates, public
speaking contests, film screenings, guest
lectures, concerts, and dramatic
presentations to name but a few. Marist is
proud to offer its students a complete
educational experience from stage to
stadium.
