Brent’s parents, Shirley
and Bob Bohan, are
members of St. Philip
Benizi Church in Jonesboro
and Brent is the oldest of
their three boys. His first
Mass will be celebrated at
St. Philip’s on June 27 at
6:30 p.m. and his first
assignment as assistant
pastor will be at St. Jude’s
Church in Sandy Springs.
Dave Kukielski came to
Atlanta by way of the
Midwest. Born in Chicago,
Dave attended schools in
Nebraska before heading
south with his family. After
a year at Georgia Tech, he
entered St. Meinrad
Seminary in Indiana and
upon graduation was sent
to the North American
College in Rome, Italy to
study theology.
Vacations at home in
Atlanta brought Dave
summer parish duty at
Sacred Heart Church
downtown and Holy
Family Church in Marietta.
On the European front, he
had the opportunity to
help sisters in Rome
distribute food to the
needy and to serve as an
assistant to an army
chaplain in Germany.
Father John Adamski,
former Vocations Director
for the Archdiocese of
Atlanta, described Dave as
“a gentle, caring person -
very kind.” He said that
these qualities have been
most evident in the warm
relationship Dave has with
members of his own family.
Elizabeth and Bob
Kukielski, Dave’s parents,
and their family live in
Tucker and are parishioners
at Holy Cross Church in
Chamblee. Dave will
celebrate his first Mass
there at noon on June 28.
After his ordination, Dave
will return to Rome for a
year to complete his studies
and receive his Licentiate
(license to teach).
Like Dave Kukielski,
Bruce Wilkinson was born
in Chicago and spent his
formative years there. An
interest in engineering led
him to Purdue University in
Indiana for one year and to
Morehouse College in
Atlanta for two years.
While in Atlanta, Bruce,
raised in a Baptist
household, became
interested in Catholicism
and was eventually received
into the Church at St.
Anthony’s parish in
southwest Atlanta, near
Morehouse.
Bruce’s further decision
to follow a religious
vocation brought him to St.
Meinrad’s Seminary in
Indiana for two years and
•later to the Collegium
Josephinum in Columbus,
Ohio for the study of
theology.
Bruce, a gifted organist,
has lent his considerable
talent in music and other
areas to Ss. Peter and Paul
Church in Decatur and Our
Lady of Lourdes Church in
Atlanta during summer
vacations.
Father Adamski, who
knew Bruce well druing his
years at Morehouse and
later at St. Anthony’s, said
he is “excited to have
someone who joined the
Church at St. Anthony’s
return to the community as
a priest.”
Bruce’s parents, Elijah
and Martha Wilkinson, still
reside in Chicago and his
only brother lives in
Dayton, Ohio. Bruce will
celebrate his first Mass at
St. Anthony’s Church in
Atlanta July 5 at 8:30 a.m.
and will serve as assistant
pastor at Ss. Peter and Paul
Church after graduation.
I r i s h - b o rn Austin
Fogarty studied at All
Hallows Seminary in
Dublin and St. Peter’s in
Wexford before coming to
the States. An invitation
from the bishop of
Brownsville, Texas brought
him across the Atlantic to
complete his studies, and in
1976 Austin was accepted
as a seminarian for the
Archdiocese of Atlanta.
Four long years and
some bureaucratic
inefficiency stood between
him and his goal, however.
When a long-awaited visa
was finally issued, Austin
spent three months at
Christ the King Cathedral
in Atlanta and for the past
year has served as deacon at
St. Michael’s Church in
Gainesville.
Father Ed O’Connor,
pastor at St. Michael’s,
noted that Austin “cooks a
nice fried egg,” and since
the Gainesville clergy are
responsible for their own
cooking, culinary talent is a
necessity.
“He did great work with
the youth at St. Michael’s,”
Father O’Connor
continued, “particularly
through the Search
weekends. He was also
involved in the charismatic
prayer group and began
Bible study groups for
adults and children. We will
have difficulty continuing
all the good things he
started here.”
In Texas, Austin worked
closely with Mexican-
Americans and during his
waiting period prior to
re-entry into the States
helped with handicapped
patients at Stewarts
Hospital in Dublin.
Because of the bonds
that grew during his time at
Stewarts. Austin will have
many handicapped
children in attendance at
his ordination. He feels that
liturgical celebrations
should have “space for
wheelchairs” so that the
handicapped can
participate more fully in
the Mass.
Austin's family lives in
Dublin, but he has
extended a special
invitation to all members of
the Atlanta Archdiocese
who might be visiting in
Ireland to attend his
ordination July 11.
Georgians hold a special
place in his heart.
“'I'he faith of the
Catholic people here is
incredible,” he said
recently. “The distances
the people come for Mass,
the spontaneity - it’s a
whole new dimension of
Catholicism - a living
Church!”
After ordination, Austin
will be assigned as assistant
pastor at St. Thomas

that low-income residents,
who are supposed to

program, educated about
the uses of funds and
involved in the
rehabilitation program.
The criteria used to
choose CHD recipients
include service to the poor
and special support for
projects that need seed
money and expect to
become self-sustaining in
the near future or need a
one-time grant for a
project. The Children’s

funding need and the other
three expect to become
self-sustaining projects in
the future.
A gratifying aspect to
the Allocations Committee
this year was that half of
the money is going to
projects in rural areas of
Georgia, Steve Brazen said.
The response to the
drive last year was
especially gratifying, he
said, and “points to the
concern of parishes for the
kinds of programs that
enable people and
communities to get on their
own feet.” Campaign funds
don’t provide “the whole
solution” to problems, but
they get programs started,
he said.

Leonard Bernstein Conducts
Benefit Concert At Vatican
VATICAN CITY (NC)~
More than 6,000 people
gathered in the Vatican’s
Paul VI Audience Hall June
12 to honor the
convalescing Pope John
Paul II, to help raise funds
for Rome’s first
cardiosurgical unit for
children and to hear the
music of Leonard
Bernstein.
The 62-year-old
American composer
conducted the St. Cecilia
Orchestra of Rome in a
benefit performance of
three of his own works to
honor the pope, who is
recovering from an
assassination attempt on
May 13.
Cardinal Ugo Poletti,
papal vicar for Rome,
represented Pope John Paul
at the concert, which lasted
nearly three hours and
ended with a 10-minute
standing ovation.
Cardinals, physicians,
Vatican employees and
Roman workers bought
tickets priced at 10,000
and 20,000 lire (about $10
and $20) to help in the
construction of a pilot
center for cardiosurgical
pediatric care at Bambino
Gesu (Child Jesus) Hospital
in Rome. It will be the first
such center in central Italy.
Bernstein, who
performed without a fee,
said he wished the funds
from the concert in honor
of Pope John Paul to go to a
childrens’ project because
of the young child which
the pope held in his arms
immediately before the
shooting May 13 in St.
Peter’s Square.
The original
compositions conducted
by Bernstein at the Vatican
were “Three Meditations”
from his Mass, with a cello
solo by Misha Harah;
“Halil” (Hebrew for flute),
with a flute solo by Uri
Shoham; and his third
symphony, “Kaddish” (the
Hebrew prayer of morning
for the dead), with children
and adult choirs and a
soprano solo by Claudine
Carlson.
Bernstein had not
performed in Italy for eight
years prior to the Vatican
concert. He had concerts
scheduled in Rome, Nervi
and Milan later in June.
After the concert
Vatican Radio described
Bernstein as “an extremely
original musician who
passes from tonality to
dodecaphony, from
neo-classical language to
expressionism, from
melodism to a rhythm that
recalls jazz and spirituals.”
Priests In Government—
(Continued from page 1)
continue in government as
“the hope of the people.”
The communities
argued that this is “a time
of emergency for the
country because of attacks
from abroad and from
within.”
The letter said the
bishops are “becoming
more aloof from the
sentiments of the people.”
Because of this
aloofness the bishops run
the risk of seeing young
people committed to the
Sandinista revolution leave
the church, the letter
added.
“Do we not run the risk
of becoming like other
countries now under
(Marxist) socialism because
the presence of Christians
was weak, with the result
that true liberation of the
people suffers?” it asked.
Fifteen priests joined
the criticism of the
conference statement,
saying it was “detached
from reality, without
reference to the
exceptional circumstances
under which our country is
still living.” The clergy
statement, issued June 12,
supported “the fidelity to
the Gospel” of the priests
in government, and added:
“The opportunity, for
the first time in history
perhaps, to accomplish a
church action and make
this revolution a Christian
one is being jeopardized,
and we regret this. In the
past most revolutions were
made against the church or

without the church.”
Critics called the
conference statement
abrupt and said it failed to
recognize the positive
achievements of the priests
in government.
In Rome, where he
attended a meeting of the
Pontifical Commission for
Latin America, Archbishop
Miguel Obando Bravo of
Managua said June 12, “I
think the majority of the
people support the request
of the bishops’
conference.”
It is not clear if all seven
Nicaraguan bishops agreed
with the conference
statement. Father Parrales
noted that the order was
not signed by the member
bishops but carried only
the seal of the conference.
Bishop Ruben Lopez
Ardon of Esteli said from
Mexico, where he is under
medical care, that he did
not know the statement
was being drafted and that
he disagreed with it. Bishop
Julian Bami of Matagalpa
was also out of the country
at the time the document
was drafted.
The papal nuncio,
Archbishop Cordero Lanza
di Montezemolo, when
asked by a high government
official about the warning,
was quoted as replying that
he was surprised by it and
the drastic terms in which
the document was drafted.
The archbishop, who is also
nuncio to Honduras, was in
Honduras when contacted
by the Nicaraguan official.
The Vatican discourages
priests from holding
government posts or
engaging in partisan
politics. After the
Sandinista revolution
Vatican spokesmen said the
decision whether to allow
priests to accept
government posts was left
to the Nicaraguan bishops.

BACK TALK
By Dr.Anas A. Khalaf
Doctor of Chiropractic
AS THE TWIG IS
BENT SO GROWS
THE CHILD
57 9^ of the nation's schoolchildren fail to
pass physical fitness tests.
Until recent years little attention was given
to posture defects in children. The distorted,
misshapen and in some ■ cases actually
handicapped child was looked upon as a fate of
heredity. The child with spinal curvature, head
tilt, or pelvic tilt was taken as an unfortunate
but normal accident of nature and nothing
could be done that would be helpful
Research has revealed such defects are not
normal but are rather the forerunners of many
various structural spinal disorders of
adulthood. Many adults today are suffering
serious health problems that, were initiated by
the neglect of minor falls, strains, sprains, and
daily incidents in life of an active child.
If you suffer from attacks of headaches,
backaches, nervousness, shoulder pain, leg or
arm aches, bursitis, constipation, stomach
trouble - or any of a much longer list of
common physical complaints -- you are
"reaping the whirlwind" of seeds that were
"sown in childhood."
The question is, are you "sowing those same
seeds" for your children to "reap?”
Dr. Anas A. Khalaf
Doctors of Chiropractic conscientiously
recommend that you include regular spinal
examinations in your children’s health
schedule. You will be rewarded as you see the
benefits from this regular analysis as your
children develop normal, well-balanced
healthly spines, nervous systems and bodies.
If you have a child suffering from a health
condition, remember that the central nervous
system is a switchboard that controls the body
and a misaligned vertebra can cause that
"switchboard" to malfunction causing many
health conditions.
Contact your Doctor of Chiropractic to
reserve a time for your youngster to be
“checked out."

the conference statement
was issued after consulting
with the Vatican.
Later, the archbishop
was quoted as saying that
“it must be sadly
acknowledged that the
church in Nicaragua is
divided.”
Church sources said the
bishops’ statement
apparently does not affect
six other priests who work
as technical advisers to the
government in planning,
land reform and peasant
organizations. Two more
priests, nine nuns and three
religious brothers working
in literacy programs for
adults in rural areas are also
considered exempt from
the prohibition, as well as
Father Alvaro Arguello,
who represents the
Nicaraguan Clergy
Association in the Council
of State, a legislative
advisory body.
The conference
statement did not spell out
any church sanctions.
Archdiocesan sources said
the priests involved can still
celebrate Mass and
administer the sacraments.
A commentary
published by the Sandinista
newspaper Barricada said,
“If the priests leave, the
revolution will be accused
of being atheist. . . The
(bishops’) ban could mean
a provocation.”
In televised comments
three more priests were
critical of the ban, saying it
was bound to favor
conservative groups
opposing reforms for the
poor.
The Sandinista National
Liberation Front which led
the revolutionary fighting
is a broad-based coalition
of Christians, socialists and
Marxists. Many Christians
supporting the Sandinistas
believe that if the priests
are forced to leave the
government it will be
interpreted as a lack of
church support for the
government and thus
strengthen the hand of the
Marxists, who currently do
not control the Sandinista
movement.
