I PAGE 2—The Georgia Bulletin, October 30,1980 Renovacion FR. CHARLES KERSCHER (center) associate pastor of Corpus Christi Parish, Stone Mountain, Ga., reminisces with a former classmate, Fr. William Stauble, (left) associate pastor of St. Mary’s Parish, Kingman, AZ and Fr. Thomas J. Garvey, S.C.J. rector of Sacred Heart School of Theology, Hales Comers, WI, while attending the annual October Alumni Reunion at the seminary. Both graduates were members of the class of 1979 and entered the school after enjoying successful careers in other occupations. Fr. Kerscher was sponsored at the theologate by Archbishop Thomas A. Donnellan for the Atlanta diocese. Sacred Heart is the nation’s largest seminary specializing in educating men of 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. (Photo by Peter Whitney) 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 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. REV. JAMES L. HARTNETT, students Mike Dowhy and Lisa Marist Principal tours new halls with Elliott. 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.
