LaSallettes Meet
In Connecticut
Around The Archdiocese
BY FR.
THOMAS LECLERC, MS
A mother in tears.
There is, perhaps, no
more moving sight. Yet, it
was as a sorrowful Mother
that the Blessed Virgin
Mary appeared to two
children at LaSalette in
France. Tearfully, she
urged them, and through
them, us, to be faithful in
prayer, to resist the crimes
of the day, in short, to be
Fr. Thomas Carroll, MS
reconciled to God and to
one another.
That message, so
pleadingly given on
September 19, 1846, has
been preached with
urgency throughout the
world. In response to
Mary’s command to “make
this known to all my
people,” two LaSalette
Missionaries first came to
Georgia in 1969. Since
then, our numbers have
grown to eleven men in
seven parishes in the
Archdiocese of Atlanta.
These men gathered
with some eighty other
LaSalette Missionaries of
the Province of Our Lady
of Seven Dolors for three
days of prayer, reflection
and planning in Cheshire,
Connecticut from October
13-15. It was a singular
event in the 89 years that
the LaSalettes have served
in America. For the first
time, priests anil brothers
came from Argentina, the
District of Columbia and
the eleven states through
which we are dispersed to
spend time together
discussing the meaning of
our ministry as Missionaries
of the message of
LaSalette. We were led in
discussion by Rev. Michael
Crosby, O.F.M., Cap., a
recognized expert in the
field of social concerns and
justice. He urged us to be
faithful to Mary’s plea
which he saw as
particularly significant for
our own day. With him, we
looked at our future as a
community and began
making plans so as to
become more effective
ministers of reconcilation.
The three days
culminated with our
traditional annual
celebration for all the
jubilarians of the Province.
The Mass was concelebrat-
ed by nearly 120 priests
and attended by many
friends and relatives from
near and far.
The Georgia LaSalettes
were much in evidence. Fr.
Philibert O’Hara, M.S., of
St. Francis of Assisi in
Cartersville, celebrated his
fortieth anniversary of
priesthood with his
neighbor from St.
Clements’ in Calhoun, Fr.
Stephen Dressell, M.S.,
who observed his fortieth
anniversary of religious
profession. Fr. Dressell, a
veteran from our missions
in Burma, will soon be
taking his leave from the
Archdiocese for the
missions in Argentina.
Blessed Sacrament Parish in
Atlanta was represented by
Fr. Richard LaMadeleine,
M.S. who was the homilist
for the Jubilee Mass.
Leading group
discussion throughout the
three days were Fr. Thomas
Carroll and Bro. Peter
Collins, both of St. Ann’s in
Marietta. They, with Fr.
LaMadeleine and Fr.
Frederick Flaherty, M.S. of
St. Matthew’s in Fairburn,
have been elected to
represent the Province at
the forthcoming chapter
meetings. Fr. Thomas
Leclerc, M.S., also from St.
Ann’s,. served on the
Liturgy Planning
Committee and assisted as
Master of Ceremonies for
the Liturgies.
Both Frs. Robert Dyer
and Victor Chaupetta from
St. Thomas the Apostle in
Smyrna were in attendance
along with Fr. Joseph
Nolan from Our Lady of
LaSalette Church in
Canton.
We were greatly edified
by the opportunity to pray
together, to renew old
acquaintances, meet new
members and to rededicate
ourselves to the work
entrusted to us by our
sorrowful Mother for the
glory of her Son and the
service of His Church.

One innovative Atlanta
response to federal budget
cuts affecting the working
poor is a church-sponsored
“Wholistic” health center
with payments to be set on
a sliding scale according to
need. It is an expanded
service being offered at the
Central Health Center, 201
Washington Street, directly
across from the Capitol.
Already in operation,
the center is celebrating its
new service with a gala
HEALTH FAIR for the
public on Sunday
afternoon, November 8,
from 2 to 4 p.m.
For many years, Central
Presbyterian has offered a
Baby Clinic service at the
site. The new health center
expands the concept of
medical assistance to adults
as well as children and aims
to serve the working poor.
The center employs two
full-time professionals - a
nurse practitioner and a
pastoral counselor - and
users of the service are
asked to work out a
complete health program
with them. In addition, two
physicians see clients on a
regular referral basis, one
specializing in pediatrics
and the other, in family
practice.
The Center provides
dental care to children aged
five through 18. It includes
a pharmacy. A number of
other health professionals
are also on the larger team
for special needs. They
include nutritionists,
pharmacists, social
workers, early childhood
educators and health
educators.
The fees for users are
based on income and
number of family members
and are agreed to during
their initial health planning
conference.

depends on client’s fees for
only a part of its operating
budget. It is heavily

The ninth annual Halloween Party for
Children was held last weekend at St. Paul of
the Cross Church in northwest Atlanta.
Organized and sponsored by the CYO
(Catholic Youth Organization), the party
provided the opportunity for children and
youth of the community to enjoy the
holiday without roaming the streets
unprotected.
The CYO at St. Paul of the Cross planned
all the activities for the party which was held
in the school cafeteria. From 6:30 to 9:00,
parish youth leaders supervised children
from five through ten years old as they
enjoyed the haunted house, the fortune
teller, game room and refreshments. Then,
from 10:00 until 12:30, the youth
themselves enjoyed a dance contest, a
costume contest, and games.
All children and youth of the community
were welcome. Over 300 came to the party.
The CYO accepted donations at the door,
but there was no charge to be admitted. All
expenses were paid by the CYO from
donations, bake sales, and a barbeque.
The CYO at St. Paul of the Cross provides
an opportunity for young people to leam
about God and the Church, enjoy one
another’s companionship, and serve the
community. Meetings are held each Monday
night.
Besides the Halloween Party, the CYO
sponsors food baskets at Thanksgiving,
carolling at Christmas, and an Easter Egg
Hunt for young children. CYO members sing
in the choir for the 10 a.m. Mass on Sunday,
and actively participate in leading worship.
During the summer, youth leaders assist in
the annual summer day camp held at the
parish. Last summer nearly 300 children
attended the camp.
Recently elected to lead the CYO were
Joseph Sanders (president), Mia Tatum
(vice-president), Jonertha Sanders (business
manager), and Arnetta Giles (secretary).
St. Paul of the Cross is staffed by the
Passionist Community. Father Thomas
Brislin, C.P., is the priest moderator of the
CYO.
