A Seminarian In Scotland
Michael Panter, a
second year theologian
from the Archdiocese of
Atlanta at the Pontifical
College Josephinum,
spent last summer
working in a parish in
Edinburgh, Scotland.
Michael was based at St.
Mary’s Cathedral Parish,
seat of the Archdiocese
of St. Andrew’s and
Edinburgh.
“Students at the
pontifical seminaries in
Rome receive summer
assignments in Europe
as a matter of course,”
Michael said. “I figured
that I should be able to
have the same kind of
opportunity.”
While stationed at St.
Mary’s, Michael was
very generous. They
were always kind,
complimentary and
helpful.”
Michael also had time
to become familiar with
the rest of the country
during his stay in
Scotland. Before his
return to the United
States in August, he
toured the countryside
by car for two weeks.
All the experiences
Michael had in Scotland
made him more
appreciative of his own
life as an American
Catholic. “I was made
very proud of the faith
life in my home diocese -
in our whole country in
general, because of all I
experienced in
Scotland.”

On The Air
Priorities—
(Continued from page 1)
then be sent to the new
Pastoral Council which will
be formed on a deanery
level. These considerations
will then go to the
Archbishop as final
recommendations.
The young, vital
Archdiocese of Atlanta is
ready for all kinds of new
life and new ideas. “We are
considering new schools
that may be built, senior
citizens programs,
communications
techniques, new parishes,
social concerns,
evangelization and, of
course, the wherewithal to
fund all these needs. And
others too that will surface
in the process. Lots and lots
of others. Take liturgy for
example. So much can be
accomplished as we involve
our people in the Deacon
program. It is young, more
can be done as we use this
ministry in our growing
area.”
Along with Msgr. Hardy,
the man most responsible
for the initial presentation
was Father Jim Kelly,
director of religious
education. “Father Kelly
put the grid together for
the priests and he will
tabulate the first response.
We are anxious to see the
first declaration of
priorities.”
Atlanta is not the first
diocese to proceed in this
manner. Rockville Centre
in New York has made a
search among its people for
priorities. So have San
Antonio and Savannah.
“Look at it this way,”
says Msgr. Hardy, who is
the chief administrator of
the Archdiocese. “We are
all limited in personnel,
resources and finances.
There is only so much we
can do. Responding as
pastorally as possible to the
needs as they are
recognized and proposed
by our Catholic people, is
the goal of our priority
search.”
This is a journey to
uncover needs. The journey
will be taken most carefully
so that nothing will be
missed as we go. The
Church of Atlanta is going
into a period of study and
the conclusion of that
study will be placed on the
desk of Archbishop
Donnellan for his
consideration.
“It is a good time,” says
Msgr. Jerry Hardy. “It is a
good process and the end
result, pastorally speaking,
has got to be good too.”
The 26th year of the
Diocese of Atlanta is
starting with a busy bang.
DR. ARMANDO DIJAMCO, a
physician at Saint Joseph’s
Hospital, and his baby daughter
greet Archbishop Donnellan
following the Sisters of Mercy’s
Sesquicentennial Mass.
Mercies Celebrate 150th
Like a sweet sound poured down from
heaven, the Atlanta Sisters of Mercy
lifted their voices in song and
thanksgiving on Saturday, Dec. 12, the
150th anniversary of their founding.
“Sisters of Mercy Day,” as proclaimed by
Governor George Busbee, was a day of
celebration for the city, with a special
Mass concelebrated by Archbishop
Thomas A. Donnellan.
To the fanfare of trumpets and the
gallant pageantry of the Knights of
Columbus, the Sisters of Mercy returned
to their roots in this city at the Shrine of
the Immaculate Conception, one of
Atlanta’s oldest churches and the first
parish ministered to by the Sisters of
Mercy 115 years ago.
Following the Mass, the congregation
gathered in the church hall to enjoy a
beautiful assortment of holiday fare.
Rev. James L.
Hartnett S.M., Principal
of Marist School, has
announced that he will
be leaving Marist on July
15, 1982. Rev. Joel M.
Konzen S.M., the
current Director of
Admissions, will assume
the post of Principal.
During the past
eleven years as Principal
of Marist, Fr. Hartnett
has been instrumental in
initiating many of the
changes that have
occurred at the school
including the end of the
military program and
the admittance of
women in 1976. He has
been a major force in
promoting the school
and enrollment is at an
all-time high of 900
students.
“I have been a
principal for the past
fifteen years and
although I have enjoyed
my work immensely, I
feel that it is time to
make a role change,”
stated Fr. Hartnett. He
is uncertain, at this
point, about his future
endeavors. “I am
ministry work was with
the sick and home-
bound. Michael found
the Scots to be “very
interested in me and
IS IT REALLY LOR ME? ? asks
Archbishop Donnellan as he
accepts gifts of the season from
seven-year-old Jamar Hamilton, a
day student at the Village of St.
Joseph. Jamar and his friends from
the Village stopped by to pay a
traditional holiday visit to the
archbishop, who was obviously
delighted with his young admirers.

considering campus
ministry and/or a
renewal program but my
plans are not definite.”
At an assembly
before the student body
where Fr. Hartnett
announced his plans to
leave he stated, “I am
leaving Marist, but
Marist will never leave
me!” Commenting on
Marist, Fr. Hartnett
said, “The success of
Marist is the result of
strong dedication from
the faculty and the
continued support of
alumni, parents, and
friends.”
