IGNA TIUS HOUSE
Father McCauley Comes To Town
BY Fr. DANIEL
W. PARTRIDGE S.J.
Ignatius House’s fairly
frequent brochures on
retreats list the Jesuit
staff, but fall behind in
keeping up with changes
of faces. The latest
brochure carries an earlier
addition as a fourth
member -- Fr. Glenn J.
Egan, who officially was
added to the household in
May; it fails to show Fr.
Walter C. McCauley who
arrived with the autumnal
equinox.
That term has validity
as he replaces Fr. Harry P.
Heiter (the dark side of
the change), staff member
and retreat director since
August 1978. It is not
breaking secrecy to
mention that not a few
retreatants followed two
of his retreats in the same
year both years and that
his complete availability
for consultation outside
the retreats will be
remembered by many a
person (the tinge of regret
comes over the phone
when they ask to speak to
him). Corpus Christi Minor
Seminary (staffed by
Jesuits of the New Orleans
Province) is the
beneficiary; extended
post-operative care for a
Jesuit there demanded a
replacement in a hurry.
The light side of the
exchange is that a
replacement was available
for Ignatius House; Fr.
McCauley, no stranger to
retreat work (like Fr.
Heiter he had worked at
Montserrat Retreat House,
Lake Dallas, Texas, and
other places), comes
immediately from Loyola
College, Baltimore, where
he had served as Professor
of Theology (1976-1980)
and Chairman of the
Department (1977-1980).
Bom in Toledo, Ohio, he
has a bit of “Georgia On
My Mind” - his mother
belonged to a long-term
Augusta family.
A Graduate of Central
Catholic High, he entered
the Jesuit Novitiate at
Grand Coteau, La., in
1943. He studied at Spring
Hill College, Mobile, did
graduate work in English
at Fordham, taught at
Spring Hill and at Jesuit
High, New Orleans; he
completed the theology
course at St. Mary’s,
Kansas (of St. Louis
University). He served as
Assistant Principal at
Jesuit High, New Orleans,
and as Principal at Jesuit
College Prep, Dallas
( 1 9 5 8-1 9 6 3 ). He
Fr. McCauley
completed his doctoral
studies in theology
(1 96 3-65) at The
Pontifical Gregorian
University, Rome, before
he served as Assistant
Professor of Dogmatic and
Systematic Theology,
School of Divinity, St.
Louis University, for four
years and as Acting
Chairman (1965-67),
Chairman (1967-69), and
as Assistant Dean of the
School of Divinity
(1 9 6 6-68), and as
Associate Professor of
Dogmatic and Systematic
Theology (1969-71) and
Acting Dean of the School
of Divinity (1969-70). He
was a Visiting Fellow at
Princeton Theological
School of Divinity
(1970-71). He was
Professor of Theology
(1971-75), Chairman of
the Division of Humanities
and Chairman of the
Department of Theology
at Spring Hill College
(1971-75).
He has held editorial
positions on Theological
Studies and Theology
Digest; has been a member
of the Catholic
Theological Society of
America (since 1965), The
College Theology Society
(1967-73), and the
American Academy of
Religion (since 1971).
Fr. McCauley arrived at
Atlanta’s new airport on
the 27th of September. It
rained that night. Monday,
it was raining. Tuesday,
rain fell in Georgia.
Wednesday, the sun shone
twice, briefly. Thursday,
he put away Genesis and
Noah’s arkal dimensions.
As an augment, rather
than a replacement, Fr.
Egan finally arrived at
Ignatius House, after a
caravan stop at
Immaculate Conception
residence in Atlanta,
putting final touches on
his graduate thesis for
Loyola-Marymount
University (Los Angeles)
where he had spent
1978-1980 toward an
M.A. in Psychology, with a
specialty in Family and
Marriage Counselling. He
was bom in New Orleans,
attended Jesuit High
School there, and entered
the novitiate at Grand
Coteau in 1965. He earned
a B.S. in Psychology and
Philosophy from Spring
Hill College (1967-1971)
and taught at the College
(1971-73). His theological
studies were pursued at
Regis School of Theology,
Toronto, and at the
Loyola (Chicago)
University School of
Divinity toward an M. Div.
degree. During 1976-78,
he was engaged in the
Jesuit-staffed parish of
Guadalupe, San Antonio, a
predominantly
Spanish-speaking area.
Since his advent, he has
directed retreats both for
the Divorced, Separated
(registration with a long
stand-by list) and Youth.
His hobby of handiman-
ship - clearing out dead
timber, electrical repairs,
etc. - is a definite profit to
a non-profit institution;
his relaxation - forests and
hill-climbing - favorably
incline him happily to
north Georgia. Currently
he is trying to show the
Forestry Division of the
State that on the original
Schroder home-place
stands a tree that is more
circumferential than the
one shown on TV
recently.
Bishops Urge Public Schools Support
MIAMI ( N C)
Florida’s Catholic citizens
have been urged by the
state’s seven bishops to
support their public
schools and to become
active in the formation of
policies in their respective
areas.
A statement issued by
Archbishop Edward A.
McCarthy of Miami and
the state’s six other
bishops declared that
“public education must
always remain responsive
to the needs of these
parents and their children;
and parents for their part
must work hard to see that
public education always
fulfills the most noble
human aspirations.”
In addition to
Archbishop McCarthy,
the prelates were Bishops
Thomas J. Grady of
Orlando; Rene H. Gracida
of Pensacola-Tallahassee;
W. Thomas Larkin of St.
Petersburg; John J. Snyder
of St. Augustine and
Auxiliary Bishops John J.
Nevins and Augustin
Roman of Miami.
“Public and private
education must be
child-oriented, directing
attention to each and
every individual child,”
the bishops continued.
“Despite our desires and
efforts, Catholic schools
cannot serve every
low-income or minority
child who wants to attend.
We recognize that in
excess of 200,000 Catholic
students attend public
schools in this state, but
our concerns extend to all
children in public,
parochial and private
schools.”
