Archdiocesan Parents Volunteer
Time, Talent
BY BECKY LANGAS
The Catholic Schools of
the Atlanta Archdiocese
are blessed with concerned
and talented parents. The
various schools have some
unique and profitable ways
to use this valued resource.
Sr. Elaine Sebera at Our
Lady of the Assumption
School has trained fifteen
para-professionals to work
as instructional aides in the
classrooms. Working in
close cooperation with the
classroom teacher, these
mothers volunteer several
hours a week. They provide
the one-to-one remediation
that students frequently
need, plan and create
learning center activities,
and conduct small group
instruction. In addition,
Our Lady of the
Assumption has a group of
30 mothers, under the
direction of Mrs. Marilyn
McBride, who staff the
library check-out desk and
prepare books for the
shelves. Most outstanding
perhaps is a mother-grand-
father team. Mrs. Marjorie
Hankes and her retired
father John Hoffman
perform such time-consum
ing tasks as writing names
on 400 report cards,
cutting out learning center
manipulati’ves, and
checking spelling and math
papers.
Immaculate Heart of
Mary School has unique
and caring parents who are
actively involved in all
phases of school activities.
Volunteers staff the clinic
which is efficiently
managed by a parent,
Lorna Beth Krai, a
registered nurse. Parents
are evident in the library,
the halls, the classrooms,
and the computer room
where they work with
children in math and
reading. They drive on field 2
trips and plan parties. They |

teach mini-courses and t-

committees. Maude and
Jim Balaun can be seen
almost every day giving
their time and abundant
talent to IHM. Maude
co-chaired the
ten-year-study during the
last school year. The
Balauns have donated
hanging plants for the
library and classrooms.
They have worked in the
library, handled funds for
activity fees, and helped
with photography and with
physical fitness testst Their
willingness knows no limit,
and IHM is a better place
because of them.
Parents and aides fill
sofne very important
positions at St. Joseph
School. Two mothers take
care of all the playground
duty during the three lunch
periods. Several mothers
volunteer to correct papers
and to do extra typing for
the teachers. Mrs. Alan
Andrich, who organized
volunteers to work in the
clinic, is also assisting with

volunteer, Mrs. Jane

will take charge of the
annual school Christmas

In one corner of a
bustling classroom a small
group of students reads an
exciting story. Across the
hall, a similar group works
on special math problems
or shares in an enjoyable
enrichment activity. These
are but a few of the ways
St. Thomas More School
uses its enthusiastic and
hard-working parent
volunteers. The parents
function in a myriad of
roles within the school,
including classroom and
clerical aides to the
teachers, library assistants,
and office aides.
The volunteers are
coordinated by the Parent’s
Club with Kathy Almond
and Terry Aiello as
co-Presidents. The
teacher-aides are
coordinated by Sharon
Walker and the library
assistants by Gail Msezane.
The parents help in the
enrichment program by
conducting mini-courses
for the upper grades.
Several times each year
volunteers come together
to plan, promote, and
present a variety of events
that add to the social,
cultural, and academic
growth of the students. In
addition, parent volunteers
conduct an mutual fund
raising drive which helps to
insure the continuance of
traditional excellence of St.
Thomas More School.
Christ the King School
has heavy participation of
parents in the role of aides
and volunteers. The Home
and School Board has 46
committee members who
plan and execute the school
supply store, local
publicity, the Spirit Run,
the Variety Show,
Christmas parties, First
Communion celebration,
and Art Fair. Parents
maintain the grounds,
collect newspapers, provide
transportation for various
functions, and honor the
teachers with an annual
luncheon.
MINN. BISHOPS
Sexism
“A Grievous
CROOKSTON, Minn.
(NC) - In a joint pastoral
letter, the Catholic bishops
of Crookston and New Ulm
have called sexism “a
grievous sin” and have
appealed for efforts to
eliminate sexist attitudes
and practices.
In the letter, “Male and
Female God Created
Them ” Bishops Victor H.
Balke of Crookston and
Raymond A. Lucker of
New Ulm said:
“Sexism, directly
opposed to Christian
humanism and feminism, is
the erroneous belief or
conviction or attitude that
one sex, female or male, is
superior to the other in the
very order of creation or by
the very nature of things.
“When anyone believes
that men are inherently
superior to women or that
women are inherently
superior to men, then he or
she is guilty of sexism.
Sexism is a moral and social
evil It is not the truth of
the biological, sociological
or psychological sciences,
nor is it the truth of the
Gospel. Sexism is a lie. It is
a grievous sin. diminished
in its gravity only by
indeliberate ignorance or
by pathological fear.”
The bishops recalled
that Pope Paul VI, in an
address in 1975 to the
Committee for the
International Women’s
Year proclaimed by the
United Nations, appealed

for efforts “to bring about
the discovery of, respect
for, and protection of the
rights and prerogatives of
every woman, single or
married, in education, in
the professions, and in civil,
social and religious life.”
The dignity of each
person and that person’s
equality with others
“comes not from one’s
femininity or masculinity,
but from one’s humanity,”
the bishops stressed.
Speaking of the costs of
sexism, the Minnesota
bishops said that for
women:
“There is, first of all, the
tendency toward
psychological paralysis,
disabling them from
asserting their self-worth.
There is also the
phenomenon of ‘feminine
antifeminism’ by which
some women flew as
threats those others who
wish to enter into fields
generally occupied by men.
In addition, emotional
dependency and false
humility are often the
prices of sexism for
women.
“For men,” they
continued, “the costs of
sexism are also high. They
are victimized by
hyper-rationalism, by an
underdeveloped affective
life, by the need to
dominate and control. This
means they value talking
over listening, competition
and conflict over measured
growth, pride over
humility, decisiveness over
thoughtfulness, and an
aggressive approach over a
persuasive one. And from
what has been said, the
tendency towards male
violence, both physical and
psychological, is evident.”
Stating that “in
Christian life and faith our
model is Jesus Christ,” the
bishops pointed out that in

Palestine at the time of
Christ “women had a very
inferior status - a status
based on the assumption
that they were inferior as
persons.”
In discussing the
question of divorce, Jesus
referred to the account of
creation in Genesis, the
bishops recalled. According
to that account, dominion
over created things
“belongs to women and
men alike and equally,”
they said.
The bishops cited
various incidents recounted
in the Gospels in which
Jesus treated women as
equal with men.
Although Jesus prayed
to God as Father, the
bishops said, “It must be
noted, however, that there
is no male or female in God,
for our God transcends all
such distinctions. The word
‘Father’ by which we, in
imitation of Jesus, pray to
God is a metaphorical term,
and in terms of metaphor
God both mothers us and
fathers us.”
They added:
“Moreover, to imply that
the male is superior to the
female because the
historical Christ was male is
also both insensitive and
wrong, for through baptism
we are all one in the Risen
Christ.”
The bishops included an
extensive examination of
conscience on attitudes
towards women and on
pastoral practices relative
to women. In the section of
,the examination on
pastoral practices, the
questions focused on the
extent of women’s
participation in
decision-making positions
in the church. The bishops’
letter was dated Oct. 24.
