SCHOOL S IN
Archdiocesan Schools
Around The Archdiocese
Welcome Advent Season
BY BECKY LANGAS
In celebration of the
Advent season, the
Catholic Schools of the
Atlanta Archdiocese have
planned various spiritual
activities. The liturgy
committee of Immaculate
Heart of Mary School held
a planning session for this
Advent. Based on the
parish theme of
“Alternative Celebrations
for Advent This Year,” the
committee generated ideas
and suggestions for the
school and for specific
grade levels. Commercial
ism and gift-giving will be
substituted with spiritual
works such as saying a
prayer, being helpful,
sharing with others, giving a
friendly smile, or treating
someone as you would like
to be treated. Students will
become the decision
makers, choosing from the
list of activities previously
distributed to the teachers.
Small gifts will be
exchanged only at the
Christmas party,
remembering that gifts
given for the right reason
still have a place at
Christmas. Some classes
will be given the option of
donating their gifts to
children’s hospitals or to
the needy.
In addition to the daily
lighting of the Advent
wreaths in the classrooms,
St. Jude the Evangelist
School will be developing a
schoolwide theme during
each of the weeks of
Advent. During the first
week of Advent, the theme
will be “preparing for the
Coming of the Lord,” and
the Parable of the Invited
Guests (Luke 14:15-24)
will be discussed. The
Parable of the Mustard
Seed (Luke 13:18-19) will
be used to illustrate the
theme of the second week,
“Jesus Teaches Us about
Waiting.” “Changing One’s
Heart,” the theme of the
third week, will be
developed through the
Parables of the Lost Sheep,
the Lost Drachma, and the
Prodigal Son. Each of these
themes will be read,
dramatized, discussed, and
illustrated.
Students at St. Jude the
Apostle School will focus
on the only way they can
keep the Baby Jesus warm
this Christmas, 1981-by
bringing the warmth of
their love and concern to
His brothers and sisters.
The students are being
asked to work daily on an
Advent Helping Calendar
which will be given to each
of them. By doing the good
deed on the calendar, the
children will earn the right
to “buy” blankets for the
new Open Door Ministry
which will begin
December 15. Different
groups in the parish are
being asked to donate the
blankets which will be
presented to the Baby Jesus
on December 17 at the
Christmas Family Prayer
Service.
At Christ the King
School, each class will be
provided with its own
Advent wreath as well as an
Advent booklet, complete
with prayers and suggested
classroom activities. During
the first fifteen minutes of
each Monday morning
during Advent, there will
be a school-wide service to
prepare for the lighting of
the wreaths. The themes
for the weeks are hope,
peace, joy, and love. In the
spirit of the 12 days of
Christmas, classrooms will
participate in Kris Kringle
activities -- sharing
homemade baked goods,
classroom art projects,
songs, and storytelling.
Each child will be
encouraged to be more
kind and thoughtful to
each other in order to
prepare for Christ in his
heart and in his life. Thus
he will be recalling whose
birthday it is and why it is
celebrated.
Our Lady of the
Assumption School
students will begin each
day of Advent with a
school-wide prayer, candle
lighting, and suggested
service activity of the day.
They will be encouraged to
positive action in the
classrooms. In conjunction
with the service-centered
activities in the school
itself, each child is
encouraged to serve the
community. The students
are asked to donate gift
items which will be
presented to the patients at
the Ashton Woods Nursing
Home. These donations are
to be earned by the
students by doing various
tasks at home. Earning a
pair of socks by washing
the car or getting two
hairbrushes for babysitting
baby brother becomes a
two-fold service project.
At Sts. Peter and Paul
School the Jesse Tree will
be specifically emphasized.
A Christmas tree will be
placed in the front lobby of
the school. Each morning
an eighth-grade student will
explain one symbol of the
ancestors of Jesus. He will
then read a prayer relevant
to that ancestor’s role in
the preparation of the
coming of Christ. Finally,
one representative from
each class will place the
symbol on the tree. Thus,
the entire parish school
community will be able to
enhance their appreciation
of this Catholic Christian
tradition.
Bishops Back Name Change
For Corpus Christi Sub
WASHINGTON (NC) -
The U.S. bishops at their
annual meeting voted
support for an effort to
change the name of the
U.S.S. Corpus Christi, an
American nuclear attack
submarine launched in
April.
But my mistake the vote
was taken behind closed
doors in an executive
session Nov. 18 instead of
in public session, a bishops’
spokesman confirmed Nov.
24.
The submarine was
named in honor of the city
of Corpus Christi, Texas.
But the name is Latin for
“the Body of Christ,” and
opponents have protested
that it is blasphemous to
put the name on a ship that
is an instrument of war.
Bishop Thomas Drury
of Corpus Christi, a leader
in t lie name-change
campaign, had asked the
bishops for support of the
campaign.
In public session Nov.
19, minutes before the
bishops’ meeting ended,
Bishop Thomas Kelly,
general secretary of the
National Conference of
Catholic Bishops and U.S.
Catholic Conference,
reported briefly that the
conference had decided to
support a change in the
name of the submarine.
His brief comment was
meant to put the action on
public record and was clear
to the bishops at the
meeting, who had taken the
action during their
executive session.
Russell Shaw, public
affairs secretary of the
bishops’ conference', said
Nov. 24 that “the sense of
the resolution was to
support Bishop Drury in his
efforts to get the
Department of the Navy to
remove the name from the
vessel.”
He said Bishop Drury’s
motion, which was not part
of the meeting’s prepared
agenda, was brought up in
executive session to get a
sense of “whether the
bishops wanted to take a
position” on the issue.”
BEFORE TAKING OUT their guitars,
folk musicians listen to some guidance
on music placement within the liturgy
from Rosanne Bowen, leader of one
of the folk groups at St. Jude’s parish
in Sandy Springs.
17 Parishes Attend
Folk Group Workshop
There is more to creating a folk liturgy than the right
note and key.
Selecting the music, setting it appropriately in the liturgy
and generating a collaboration between the music ministers
and the celebrant of the Mass are aspects of a folk liturgy
when it is well planned and executed. Shaping such a liturgy
was the concern of 137 people from 17 parishes Nov. 21
when they gathered at the Cathedral of Christ the King.
The workshop, sponsored by the music ministry of the
Cathedral’s 5:30 folk Mass, was the first to be held in five
years in the archdiocese and response from a variety of
parishes showed thriving interest. In addition to
metropolitan Atlanta parishes, groups came from
Carrollton, Jackson, McDonough and the University of
Georgia Newman Center in Athens. After a morning of
more formal workshop discussions, the group spent the
afternoon “sharing different songs and settings that people
used,” said Monsignor Jerry Hardy, leader of the Cathedral
music ministry.
“There’s a legitimacy to folk music and folk liturgies,”
Monsignor Hardy said. “They need, however, to be well
prepared and well executed. Helping people to do that was
the main aim of the workshop.” - Gretchen Reiser

Sisters’ Retreat
Planned In Cullman
An end of the year retreat, Dec. 28 - Jan. 2, for Religious
Sisters will be sponsored by the Benedictine monks of St.
Bernard Abbey, Cullman, Alabama.
Father Columban Geerken, O.S.B., Abbey Pior and
retreatmaster. will present a series of talks about spiritual
reading and prayer. Other of the monks will offer
presentations on religious and secular fine arts and
literature.
The monks anticipate this as a special time of rest and
rejuvenation for the physical and spiritual lives of the
Sisters. To quote one monk, “After the rush of the holiday
season and the completion of another year’s labor of love,
these winter days are a natural time for all religious to slow
down and re-center their life in Christ.” The abbey grounds
are religiously and spiritually inspiring: 800 acres of
gardens, woodland paths and meadows offer a relaxing and
restful retreat site.
