at a cost of many millions
of dollars. “The U.S.
exhibit will cost
somewhere in the region of
$30 million,” says Ted.
“Our project will be
completed for $700,000.
Over a dozen Christian
denominations will
shoulder the expense. We
are excited that so many
denominations have joined
together for this project.”
Over 11 million people
are expected to visit
Knoxville and the World’s
Fair during that six-month
period next year. “We are
on schedule,” says Ted
Baehr. “They will be
inspired with our project,
we feel sure.”
We can all feel perfectly
sure that ex-New Yorker
Ted Baehr, who now lives
in Atlanta with his
Argentinian wife, Liliana,
and son, Peirce, will bring
creative inspiration to this
challenging exhibit of the
Christian family.
And it is going to be
displayed in Knoxville,
Tennessee for the world to
see.
Dr. Baehr along with Rabbi
Don Peterman and Msgr.
Burtenshaw present "Religion -
Wise” on A tlanta’s WGST radio

THE APOSTLE IN

FRANCIS OF ASSISI IN
BLAIRSVILLE remind
parishioners of the
Christmas call to go beyond
the lights of the city,
quoting the words of
Father Matthew Fox in
their parish bulletin:
“Advertising seeks to turn
our wants into needs. I buy
- therefore, I am. We
consume -- therefore,
maybe we exist. We escape
by going shopping. The
shopping mall is the
cathedral of our
generation, our temple to
the buying of things.”
It is apparent that parish
communities in the
archdiocese are taking a
firm stand, refusing to
allow idolatrous
object-worship
overbuying, overdoing,
overextending - to make
inroads into their
celebrations.
They are witnesses to
the truth that the best part
of Christmas is the giving.
News of parish outreach was

Corpus Christi—
(Continued from page 1)
Thursday to share and develop their talents.
From the art work created during the weekly meetings,
the senior parishioners gathered items for a November craft
fair. The proceeds from the fair, and from coffee and
doughnuts sold at the parish after Mass each week,
underwrote a special program December 4: Christmas with
the senior parishioners of Corpus Christi.
The day brought 200 fellow senior parishioners together
from five parishes, including the Cathedral, Corpus Christi,
Immaculate Heart of Mary, Sts. Peter and Paul and St.
Lawrence churches. Priests from the five parishes, led by
Father Charles Kerscher, shepherd to Corpus Christi’s
seniors, concelebrated an 11 a.m. liturgy. A Christmas lunch
was served after the liturgy, with entertainment and each
person was given a wrapped Christmas present, handmade
ceramics by the Corpus Christi seniors.
Mrs. Trepanier said that some of the fruits of the first
workshop were planned, and the group hopes to make the
Christmas gathering an annual event. But, in other ways, the
senior parishioners have been drawn, unexpectedly, into the
parish ministries. Some months ago, another parishioner
was so touched by a rose brought to his wife when she was ill
that he became the impetus for the creation of a parish rose
garden, providing flowers to bring to the sick or
housebound. Special ministers to the sick in the parish now
go out on their visits with a rose, placed in a ceramic bud
vase created by the seniors’ workshop.
And, in turn, the parish has welcomed and supported the
seniors’ plans and ideas, Mrs. Trepanier said, providing
helping hands, enthusiastic backing and an open door for
the weekly gatherings, and for the inter-parish Christmas
celebration. In fact, attempting to give credit to a few or
anything less than all was brushed aside by everyone
carrying trays or piling dishes at the luncheon.
“This is the work of the senior parishioners,” and parish
angels, Mrs. Trepanier said, surveying a hall filled with
candlelit tables, centerpieces, and the clatter of dishes.
“There’s just tremendous support” from the parish and its
staff, said Gini Eagen, one of the parishioners whom seniors
claim as ‘angels.’
The seniors hope to develop a threatre group in the
future, drawing on the talents of Helen Clifford Mooney, an
actress and author who provided a narration of “The First
Christmas” at the luncheon. The work will be another way
of drawing on “the talent, the know-how, the experience
these people have” to offer the parish, Mrs. Trepanier said.
Whatever else they may do, they have already developed
the talent for “a brotherly feeling” one to another.
