44 We Were Hungry For Pizza And Big Macs.
BY THEA JARVIS
On a spring-like
Saturday in late
February, 150 Catholic
teenagers listened to
never understand the
plight of the poor,’’Mrs.
Matthews told her young
audience, attempting to
shatter welfare myths
and explaining the
Atlanta, St. Jude’s in
Sandy Springs, Holy
Spirit in Atlanta, Holy
Cross in Chamblee, and
St. Luke’s in Dahlonega.

of global hunger.
Ethel Mae Matthews talk
about what it’s like to be
poor.
As they listened,
glancing out the windows
of St. Jude’s School
gymnasium, they viewed
the well-manicured lawns
and securely-built homes
of suburban Sandy
Springs.
Even the most tired
and hungry of these
1981 pre - Lenten
fastathon participants
noticed the sharp
contrast between Mrs.
Matthews’ message and
the comfort of their own
surroundings.
‘‘Until you
understand that poor
people have rights, the
same as the rich, you’ll
provide time for reflection on the realities
were interspersed
throughout this period as
times of reflection on the
gruesome realities of
global hunger. Just off
St. Jude’s gymnasium,
the Blessed Sacrament
was exposed in the
school library for private
prayer.
A Friday night square
dance, led by Dahlonega
callers Joseph and
Therese DiNatale, and a
song-fest conducted by
members of the Holy
Cross folk group set a
tone of openness and
friendship. Bedded down
in sleeping bags and
makeshift cots in the
classrooms of St. Jude’s
School Friday evening,
many found the late
night hours a good time
to relax and talk
together.
“Though most of us
were strangers when we
arrived, we were able to
form a unity,” said Julie
Erbs, a sophomore at St.
Pius X High School who
attends Holy Cross
Church in Chamblee.
“We were hungry for
pizza and Big Macs, but
it was a time for us to
really become aware of
what hunger means.”
Saturday’s activities
included a neighborhood
“blitz” during which
fastathon participants
walked through the
streets surrounding St.
Jude’s and solicited
canned goods for the
needy. These staples,
together with monies
from fastathon sponsors
who contributed a
specified amount for
each hour of fasting,
were to be donated to
Rural Catholic Social
Services and the St.
Vincent de Paul Society.
Following a Saturday
evening Mass celebrated
by Father Ed Thein of
St. Jude’s and Father
Cayet Mangiaracina of
Holy Cross, the teenagers
workings of Emmaus
House, an inner-city
community center
founded in 1967 by
Episcopalian priest
Reverend Austin Ford.
Mrs. Matthews, who
focused on the physical
hunger of the truly poor,
was joined by other
speakers who developed
the themes of
educational, emotional,
economic, social and
spiritual hunger.
This year’s gathering
was the first to combine
teenagers from six
archdiocesan parishes,
including one north
Georgia mission - St.
Thomas Aquinas in
Alpharetta, Our Lady of
the Assumption in

...But We Learned What Hunger Means'’
minister for St. Thomas
Aquinas Church,
observed that the young
people were “really
responsive to the goals of
the fastathon.”
These goals called for
participants to
experience hunger in a
prayerful way that
promoted fellowship and
built community while
acquainting them with
the needs of a hungry
world.
For 24 hours - Friday
evening through
Saturday night -- the
teenagers consumed only

broke their fast with a
pancake dinner prepared
by members of St. Jude’s
Cursillo group.
Father Cayet, who
with the other youth
ministers shared in all the
weekend a ctivities,
remembers vividly the
teenagers’ reaction to the
hot pancakes and
steaming sausages that
awaited them as the
fastathon drew to a
close.
“That pancake line
formed awfully fast.
They were all in line and
waiting before we even
had the tables set up!”
Anointing Of The Sick At Cathedral March 18
BY FATHER
LOUIS NAUGHTON
In conjunction with the
Lenten Season,
Archbishop Thomas
Donnellan will be the
principal celebrant of a
communal celebration of
the Sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick
which will take place at
the 12:10 Noon Mass at
the Cathedral of Christ the
King on Wednesday,
March 18.
Many people have had
the impression that a
Catholic must be dying in
order to be eligible to
receive this sacrament;
such an impression is
incorrect. On the contrary,
it is strongly recommend
ed that an elderly person
in weak condition because
of advancing years should
receive this Sacrament. It
is hoped that as many as
possible of our elderly
parishioners who are in
this condition will avail
themselves of the
opportunity to receive this
great sacrament on
Wednesday, March 18.
People who are
seriously sick, especially
those preparing for major
surgery, are also eligible to
receive this sacrament.
When serious illness
prevails, this sacrament
should be received as soon
as possible.
Sick children may be
anointed if they have
sufficient use of reason to
be comforted by this
sacrament.
The Sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick is
for Catholics who are

suffering from a degree of
sickness which is causing
considerable concern.
Sickness embraces many
forms, including illness
demanding serious surgery,
weakness due to advancing
years, chronic illness,
illness which considerably
confines activities, serious
deafness or blindness,
psychiatric illness such as
depression or severe
neurosis or serious
addiction - in fact any
illness which is considered
serious constitutes a
legitimate condition for
receiving this sacrament.
When illness is proving
such a burden as to be
endangering the sick
person’s faith and
confidence in God, this
then is an added reason for
such a person to avail
himself of the opportunity
to receive the Sacrament
of the Anointing of the
Sick.
The Sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick
prolongs the concern
which Our Lord showed
for both the bodily and
spiritual welfare of the
sick, as the Gospels clearly
testify and which He asked
His followers to show also.
Sickness is more than a
medical phenomenon;
sickness can be serious
enough to cause a crisis
situation in our lives with
regard to our salvation and
to our life in and with
Christ in the community
of the Church. Sickness
often engenders
impatience, sulkiness and
excessive self-preoccupatr
ion. Sickness sometimes
gives rise to spiritual
dryness, hardness of heart,
discouragement and even
despair. In such ways, a
person’s sickness or state
of impaired health can
weaken or undermine his
or her relationship with
Christ. This sacrament,
therefore, brings about
spiritual healing and, if
God so wills, bodily
healing as well.
The grace , of the
Sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick,
helps us to overcome
specific obstacles to grace
and salvation Arising from
the situation of sickness.
In this sacrament, Christ
always strengthens and
supports the person in his
or her sickness.
In order to be
well-prepared, persons
planning to receive this
Sacrament should, if
possible, receive the
Sacrament of Penance
beforehand.. However, not
being able to get to
confession should not be
an obstacle to receiving
the Sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick.
A special area in the
Cathedral will be reserved
for those planning to
receive the sacrament
March 18. Further
information may be
obtained from the priests
of the parish, phone (404)
233-2145.
