planning to involve parents
in Catechetical Sunday.
Inclusion of youth,
young adult, liturgical,
evangelization and music
ministers is likewise advised
in communities with large
staffs so that “the parish
can give visible evidence of
its commitment to total
parish catechesis.”
The distinct flavor of
Catechetical Sunday is as
unique and personal as the
many parishes in which it is
celebrated. But the focus of
the day is indeed the belief
that the entire church
community moves ahead in
faith-filled catechesis
toward renewal in Christ.
A Family Celebration
The family as the “Household of Faith,” along with the
larger parish community, shares the responsibility for
spreading the Word of God.
This family home prayer service is a celebration of the
family’s commitment and ministry to God’s Word as part of
the parish family. It was conceived as taking place at the
conclusion of a family meal. Necessarily, the details can
differ depending on who is present, their ages, etc.
Opening Prayer
]j6&d6r i
Lord, God, today as we gather to celebrate our family’s
commitment to the service of Your Word, we thank You for
our family and Your presence among us. We see how each of
us, from youngest to oldest, is a witness of Your Word. (At
this point, the members of the family take one or more
pieces of a simple jigsaw puzzle prepared beforehand. The
pieces are different in shape, cut out of heavy cardboard,
and fit together to form a simple figure, such as a circle.
Crayons or markers are available.)
Leader*
To begin our celebration, each of us should take one or
more pieces of the puzzle and draw or write down how we
or someone else might do something to spread the Word of
God.
Scripture Readings/Reflection
Family members are invited to read various selections
from Scripture: Psalm 145, 2-3, 8-9, 17-18; Matthew 20,
1-16. If convenient, the family might discuss the readings
briefly and perhaps add to what has already been written or
drawn on the puzzle pieces.
Commitment Ceremony
Leader:
Lord, we lay before You our symbol. It is a puzzle whose
pieces, like the members of our family, are all different. But
the pieces fit together and the whole depends on all of them,
every one of them.
All:
We will give ourselves generously and conduct ourselves
in a way worthy of the Gospel of Christ.
Conclusion
Depending on the composition of the family present,
several activities might be used to conclude the ceremony;
continuing the discussion of the Scripture readings; making
a family poster; framing the assembled puzzle and hanging it
near the dining area; enjoying a favorite dessert that
everyone has participated in making (e.g. decorated
cookies); or acting out the Gospel reading and discussing it.
LEAVE FOR U.S. - The first
batch of East European refugees,
mostly Polish, boards a plane in
Vienna, Austria, for the United
States. The U.S. has agreed to accept
2,400 East European refugees above
its annual quota of 4,500 in this fiscal
year to relieve crowded conditions in
Austrian refugee camps.
Father Joseph Buckley, 76, Dies;
Former Marist Superior General
NEW ORLEANS (NC) -
Marist Father Joseph
Walter Buckley, 76, a
former superior general of
his order, the Society of
Mary, died Sept. 11 in New
Orleans.
He had suffered two
strokes in the last several
months, the most recent in
August.
Bom in St. Paul, Minn.,
he was raised by his
mother’s aunt in West
Virginia after his mother’s
death. Joseph Buckley
attended the Marist
Seminary in Washington
and St. Mary’s Manor,
Penndel, Pa., before
entering the novitiate at
Our Lady of the Elms in
New York City. He studied
philosophy at Marist
College, Washington, and
theology at the University
of St. Thomas Aquinas,
Rome, and was ordained a
priest in 1931 in Rome.

there, they love it. And I’m
glad because they need it.”
Maria and Dave
Friedrich recognize that
just sending the children to
Sunday classes is not
enough. “We have to be
involved too. And it’s hard.
We work and making the
time for the family and
what the children leam at
Sunday school is difficult.
We need to go over the
lessons and oversee the
homework. It is not always
done and that’s the
problem we parents run
into.”
Like so many parents
today, Maria Friedrich feels
she would want a Catholic
school education for her
children until she really
dwells on what her children
are getting in the parish
religious education
program.
It is not what she got,
but, in some ways, thanks
to the efforts of so many, it
is better.

the ownership of capital,
as far as possible, and by
producing a wide range of
intermediate bodies with
economic, social and
cultural purposes; they
would be bodies enjoying
real autonomy with regard
to the public powers,” it
adds.
Because the world is
becoming more
intertwined economically,
Pope John Paul warns that
international economic
forces can become
“indirect employers”
adversely affecting
domestic labor conditions.
Similar exploitation is
also possible “in the case of
a situation of ‘socialized’
ownership of the means of
production,” the encyclical
adds.
“Evidently this - must
have an effect on local
labor policy and the
worker’s situation in the
economically disadvant
aged societies,” the
encyclical says.
“Finding himself in a
system thus conditioned,
the direct employer fixes
work conditions below the
objective requirements of
the workers, especially if he
himself wishes to obtain

the highest possible profits
from the business which he
runs,” it adds.
“It is respect for the
objective rights of the*
worker . . .that must
constitute the adequate
and fundamental criterion
for sharing jthe whole
economy, both on the level
of the individual society
and state and within the
whole of the world
economic policy and of the
systems of international
relationships that derive
from it,” the encyclical
says.
It adds that
international Organizations
such as the International
Labor Organization and the
Food and Agricultural
Organization, both United
Nations bodies, should
develop rules for
international dealings
affecting workers, “since
the rights of the human
person are the key element
in the whole of the social
moral order.”
Recalling that “Rerum
Novarum” was written to
apply church teachings to
the industrial revolution,
the dominant social
determinant of that time,
Pope John Paul says that
his encyclical is an effort to
apply the same teachings to
current circumstances
which, “according to many
experts, will influence the
world of work and
production no less than the
industrial revolution of the
last century.”
Among the current
circumstances the pope
cites automations,
increasing cost of energy
and raw materials,
pollution, diminishing
natural resources and
“emergence on the political
scene of peoples who, after
centuries of subjection, are
demanding their rightful
place among the nations
and in international
decision-making.”
“Unfortunately, for
millions of skilled workers
these changes may perhaps
mean unemployment, at
least for a time, or the need
for retraining. They will
probably involve a
reduction or a less rapid
increase in material
well-being for the more
developed countries,” says
the encyclical.
“But they can also bring
relief and hope to the
millions who today live in
conditions of shameful and
unworthy poverty,” it says.
“The church considers it
her task . . .to help guide
the above mentioned
changes so as to ensure
authentic progress by man
and society,” the encyclical
adds.
The purpose of the
encyclical is to highlight
“the fact that human work
is the key, probably the
essential key, to the whole
social question, if we try to
see that question really
from the point of view of
man’s good,” says the
pope.
Other main points of the
encyclical include:
- Technology is meant
to be the workers’s ally but
can become his enemy
when mechanization
supplants him or takes
away “all personal
satisfaction and the
incentive to creativity and
responsibility,” thus
reducing “man to the status
of slave.”
- “Work constitutes a
foundation for the
formation of family life”
by providing the economic
means necessary to
maintain a family.
- Through work people
fulfill God’s command to
“subdue the earth.”
- “The obligation to
provide unemployment
benefits . . .is a duty
springing from the
fundamental principle of
the common use of goods
or, to put it another way,
the right to life and
subsistence.”
- “A disconcerting fact
of immense proportions”
occurs on the world scene:
“While conspicious natural
resources remain unused,
there are huge numbers of
people who are
unemployed or
underemployed and
countless multitudes of
people suffering from
hunger.” This means that
there is “something wrong
with the organization of
work and employment” on
the national and
international levels.
- “A just wage is the
concrete means of verifying
the justice of the whole
socio-economic system
and, in any case, of
checking that it is
functioning justly.”
- A “family wage” is
needed which could be “a
single salary given to the
head of the family for his
work, sufficient for the
needs of the family without
the other spouse having to
take up gainful
employment outside the
home -- or through other
social measures such as
family allowances or grants
to mothers devoting
themselves exclusively to
their families.”
- For a mother to be
forced economically to
abandon her task of caring
for her children is harmful
to society.
- Women who work
“should be able to fulfill
their task in accordance
with their own nature, and
without being
discriminated against and
without being excluded
from jobs for which they
are capable, but also
without lack of respect for
their family aspirations and
for their specific role in
contributing, together with
men, to the good of
society.”
“The expenses
involved in health care,
especially in the case of
accidents at work, demand
that medical assistance
should be easily available
for workers, and that as far
as possible it should be
cheap or even free of
charge.”
- Workers have the right
to form a union to protect
their vital interests and to
be “a mouthpiece for the
struggle for social justice.”
-- “Union activity
undoubtedly enters the
field of politics,
understood as prudent
concern for the common
good” but unions should
not engage in partisan
politics, otherwise “they
become an instrument used
for other purposes.”
- Workers should be
assured the right to strike
without being subject to
personal sanctions, but
have the responsibility not
to strike if a strike “is
contrary to the
requirements of the
common good.”
Father Buckley was a
professor at Marist College
and at Notre Dame
Seminary, the diocesan
semin ary for the
Archdiocese of New
Orleans. He then studied at
the University of Notre
Dame in Indiana but
interrupted his studies to
enter the army as a chaplain
in 1942. During his four
years in the military he
served in New Guinea and
the Philippines. He was
awarded the Bronze Star.
After the war Father
Buckley returned to the
University of Notre Dame.
He was both a student of
philosophy and a teacher
there and a teacher at
neighboring St. Mary’s
College. After earning his
masters’ degree, Father
Buckley taught at Notre
Dame Seminary and was a
pastor of St. Pius X Church,
Bedford, Ohio.
In 1959 he was
appointed to his first term
as provincial of the
Washington Province of the
Marist Fathers. Two years
later he was elected
superior general of the
Marists.
As superior general from
1961-70 he travelled in
Western Europe, South
America, Oceania, the Far
East and Africa. He spoke
French and Italian fluently
and some Spanish and
German as well.
