encontrar una Misa a una
hora conveniente.
Los miercoles, en la
Iglesia del Inmaculado
Corazon de Maria se reune
un grupo de catolicos para
orar. Este grupo pertenece
a una renovacion llamada
la Renovacion Carismatica.
El grupo se reune desde las
8:00 PM hasta las 10:00.
Nadie necesita una
invitacion, estan todos
bien venidos. El grupo
alaba, da gracias y pide por
las necesidades del pueblo
de Dios. Hay tambien
momentos de lecturas de
la Biblia y momentos de
compartir sobre los
prodigios que hace en
Senor en las vidas de los
participantes.

Interfaith Project Marks Decade
COLUMBIA, Md. (NC) - Marking the
end of a decade in a unique experiment in
ecumenism, Nov. 2 was the 10th
anniversary of the Interfaith Center in
Wilde Lake Village in Columbia, a new
town whose construction began in 1965.
Without steeple, bells or stained glass
windows, the center’s building is home to
four Christian communities in Howard
County.
For the nearly 2,500 members of St.
John the Evangelist Roman Catholic
parish, St. John United Church (United
Methodist-United Presbyterian), St. John
Baptist Church and St. John Lutheran
Church of Wilde Lake, ecumenical
cooperation is more than just an idea. The
four congregations at the center share
baptisms, Palm Sunday services and Easter
sunrise services. They have pulpit and choir
. exchanges and an ecumenical summer Bible
school.
The Catholic parish also shares the
Liturgy of the Word with Christ Church, an
Episcopal congregation in the village of
Owen Brown, another section of Columbia,
on the first Sunday of each month. The
Catholic and Episcopal liturgies are
alternated from month to month, said
Father Richard Tillman, administrator of
the Catholic parish.
The pastors of the congregations at the
Interfaith Center agreed that the main
ecumenical developments in Howard
County are occurring in the cooperative
ministry organization. That organization
has done work in interfaith housing and
refugee resettlement and set up the
Howard County Christian Women’s Thrift
Shop; FISH, an agency operating an
emergency services hotline; and a
cooperative blood donor group. The
organization has also established a.
Memorial Foundation, which deals with
death and dying.
At present, the Catholic congregation
contributes 55 percent of the mortgage
payments, while each Protestant
congregation pays 15 percent. The
assessment on each congregation is based
on its size and use of the center.
Father Joseph Schaeffer, associate
pastor at St. John’s, said he believes the
interfaith situation keeps each
congregation from “being insular.”
But the Rev. David Luecke, the
Lutheran pastor who has been at the center
since it opened 10 years ago, said a
congregation often undergoes an “identity
crisis” at the center because “it’s not only
their building, but others use it as well.”
The lack of “place identification” forces
people into a “faith identification,” Mr.
Luecke said.
Leaders of the center’s congregations
sometimes work toward ecumenism and at
other times seek to “build identity” in
their own congregation, Mr. Luecke said.
When congregational survival is in question,
he said, ecumenism tends to suffer.
In the early years of the Interfaith
Center, Mr. Luecke recalled, some
congregational leaders used to say
“denominations are a thing of the past”
and foresaw everyone cooperating in
religious and liturgical activities.
Now, said the Rev. Lon Chesnutt,
pastor of St. John United Church, the
ecumenical view held is that a distinct
“heritage and tradition and faith are part
of our unity in the larger church.”
Rel. Ed. Offices
Surveyed
WASHINGTON (NC) - The Office of Research of the
National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) is
surveying diocesan offices of religious education in the
United States.
The NCCB Office of Research is collaborating in the
study with the National Conference of Diocesan Directors
of Religious Education and the Boys Town Research
Center for Youth Development at the Catholic University
of America.
Father Eugene Hemrick, director of the Office of
Research, said the study “will examine the personnel and
organizational structures of the diocesan offices, the
moral and financial support the offices receive, their areas
of satisfaction as well as frustration, and most important
of all, where they see the field of catechetics going in the
next five years.”
“From this study,” Father Hemrick said, “we hope to
better understand whether diocesan offices of religious
education are moving toward achieving uniqueness,
adaptability and a professional reputation, or, on the
other hand, are at the level of survival.”
The research office is distributing a questionnaire, in
preparation for a year, which is designed to provide a
profile of those who are responsible for providing
diocesan catechetical services to parish directors of
religious education. The questionnaire will also examine
the policies and practices of diocesan offices which
provide certification programs for catechists.
REAL PEOPLE --
Father J. Murray
Elwood, a Newman
Center Chaplain from
New York State will
bring his parish
renewal to St. John’s
Parish in Hapeville
beginning November
15. Father Elwood
uses “real people” like
John Henry Newman,
St. Theresa, Fulton
Sheen and others as
the basis for his
renewal talks. All are
invited to come and
hear Father Elwood at
St. John’s.
SISTER JUDITH DIANNE, RSM, principal of
Our Lady of the Assumption School, and Mrs.
Patricia Dendy, librarian, break ground as a group
of junior high school students look on.
OLA Breaks Ground
Our Lady of the Assumption broke ground on
November 3. for their new Library/Media Center. This
will be the first new construction at the parish since the
addition of the “Scout Hut” in the late ‘60s.
The Library/Media Center will house the school
library, necessary work and storage rooms, and a
conference room. The entire area will comprise 2500 sq.
ft., with the Library itself taking up 1500 sq. ft. This area
will be joined to the present school building giving access
from the classrooms. The fifth grade classroom, which will
be displaced by the new construction, will be moved to
the present library on the second floor of the school.
Father William F. Seli, S.M., pastor of Our Lady of the
Assumption, said that the new Library/Media Center will
serve the parish in a number of ways. Aside from the
obvious use as Library, it will also serve as an adult
education room and a parish meeting room. Construction
will be well under way to completion by the end of
December 1980.
‘Mommy, Look!
It’s God!’
COLUMBIA, S.C. (NC)
-- “Mommy look. It’s
God,” the small boy said
while looking at the
photographs of the Shroud
of Turin.
The child was just one
of the people at the recent
South Carolina State Fair
in Columbia who was
drawn to the Catholic
Information Booth. The
exhibit featured two
4-by-7 foot photographs
of the Shroud of Turin,
believed to be Christ’s
burial cloth, imprinted
with his image. The
display was described as
the most popular at the
fair. Booklets explaining
the shroud had to be
reordered.
“Interest was spurred
to a high point when the
local radio personalities
saw the shroud
(photographs) and stated
on the air that it was the
most interesting exhibit at
the fair,” said Charles
Poole, a University of
South Carolina physics
professor and organizer of
the exhibit for the Diocese
of Charleston’s Council of
Catholic Men.

TOMB OF CHRIST
Mausoleums are memorials built for the ages and endure forever-
Above ground entombment has been the chosen way of burial for
people of all faiths since the early Christian era and in earlier ancient
times too.
Famous examples include London’s Westminster Abby- tomb of
English Royalty surrounding the Shrine of Edward the Confessor.
Many kings and queens are entombed in the Chapel of Henry the
Seventh. Westminster Abby is crowded with tombs and memorials of
famous British subjects, too.
Jesus was entombed above
ground in a crypt hewn from
rock. Christian burial above
ground is as old as Christianity
itself.
