Catechumens Prepare For Election Rites
En la ciudad de Atlanta cada dia hay hombres y
mujeres de todas las edades, de todas las razas, y de todas
las “clases” que andan desamparados, sin hogar y sin
comida. Ultimamente la situacion se ha puesto peor
debido a la economia general, y tambien debido a la falta
de vivienda para los pobres.
Somos muchos que decimos “Que pena!” Pero como
dice Santiago en su Epistola: “Supongamos que a un
hermano o a una hermana les falta la ropa y la comida
necesaria para el dia; si uno de ustedes les dice: ‘Que les
vaya bien. Abriganse y coman todo lo que quieran’, pero
no les da lo que su cuerpo necesita, de que les sirve?”
(Santiago 3:15-16). Con decir “Que pena!” no le vanosa
resolver el problema a nadie.
Hay muchos en Atlanta que van mas alia de la
compasion en el interior del alma. Hay quienes hacen algo
practico para ayudar a estos hermanos y hermanas
nuestras. Hay por lo menos dos sitios en Atlanta
“downtown” donde una persona puede encontrar cobija
durante la noche, y gratis. En Central Presbyterian
Church, en All Saints’ Episcopal Church cada noche
ofrecen el piso de los gimnasios para cualquier persona
necesitada de un lugar para dormir. No es nada lujoso.
Pero todos los que han tenido que dormir en estos sitios
agradecen tres cosas: el sitio tiene califaccion, esta seca, y
hay banos. Que minimo! Y sin embargo, que
agradecimiento hay en los que duermen alii.
Para llevar acabo esta obra de caridad hacen falta
voluntaries. Cada noche hay que tener por lo menos seis
personas que se quedan desde las 6:00 P.M. hasta las 6:00
A.M. Ya en la comunidad de habla hispana hemos buscado
voluntaries. Pero necesitamos mas. La semana pasada Max
Munoz, Luis Zuberea, Cesar y Carmen Berenguer aydaron
en una noche. Para ellos fue una experiencia unica. Lo que
mas impresiono a cada persona que ha ido a estas
“Cobijas” es que las personas que duerman alii son
“personas como nosotros.”
Hay tabien en Atlanta un sitio donde uno puede comer
gratis cada dia de semana a mediodia. Es St. Luke’s
Episcopal Church en la calle Peachtree. Y la Sociedad de
San Vicente de Paul esta empezando una campana para
dar de comer a otras personas. Dicha campana se llama
“Five for Food.” Piden cinco dolares por mes de 500
familias para que ellos pueden tener un fondo constante.
Quiere usted ayudar? Siente usted la llamada del Senor
a responderle porque esta desamparado aqui en Atlanta?
Para ayudar en la Cobija durante la noche se puede
llamar a Sister Margaret - 881-1433. Para dar algun dinero
al “Five for Food” manda su cheque a Saint Vincent de
Paul Society, 945 Howell Place, Atlanta, Ga. 30310. Para
mas informacion sobre St. Luke’s Comedor o asunto de
ayudar en esta situacion en general, puede llamar a la
Hermana Teresa 881-1419.

making them use their crippled joints as they delightedly
dashed for balls he would throw to them in the pool. And
Dora Dunn, a therapist in the Foundation today, vividly
remembers the children and their dinner parties with FDR
at Thanksgiving.
“It was beautiful,” says Dora. “We would dress them in
their finest, very formal. And then the President would
come in, sit at the head of the table insisting that only the
children would sit nearest to him while he carved the
turkey and joked with them all. They laughed and
laughed.”
Rita Kitts will show you the Interfaith Chapel where
services are still held. Mass is offered each Sunday at 5:00
for patients and local Catholics. It was in that tiny chapel
with its ten little pews that the President attended his
final worship service on Easter Sunday, April 1, 1945.
Twelve days later, in the Little White House, in Warm
Springs, FDR died. The pew where he sat is marked with a
plaque.
Rita points to the large distance between the front pew
and the altar. “It was here in this open space,” says Miss
Kitts, “that the stretcher patients were laid to hear Mass.
It was most impressive to see them lined up in front of the
altar.”

The old pool, designed partially by Roosevelt, located
at the entrance to the Foundation, is not in use any
longer. The warm waters of the spring now bubble up into
a modern indoor pool where the patients receive therapy.
Billy Garrison cares for the pool. “The waters come out of
the ground at a warm 80 degrees,” says Billy, a physical
therapy technician. “We then heat it up to 96 or 98
degrees before the patients are placed in it. The only thing
we add is a little chlorine. The waters do the rest.”
And what do these famed medicinal waters accomplish?
“No magic.” says Jim Poulson.“They are therapeutic. The
patients, who are mostly victims of stroke and arthritis
and also amputees, are placed in the waters and, with the
least possible discomfort, have their limbs treated. They
are enabled to relax more easily because the waters give
buoyancy and the patients float. It is a soothing
treatment.”
It is obvious that Roosevelt fell deeply in love with his
Warm Springs retreat. The waters alone at first drew him
to this Georgia resort. But he came to love the restful
pace. At all times of the years, even in those hectic war
years, he would steal away to this exquisite area.
Overlooking a valley of Pine Mountain, he built his
Little White House, a most unpretentious little home
where princes and rulers of all kinds came to visit the
President. Often these same VIPs would be entertained by
country fiddlers and backwoods songsters, loved so much
by this unusual New Yorker. He loved to sit nearby on the
banks of the Flint river and fish for breakfast like any
sportsman, or lead a horse gently down one of the many
paths in the rolling hillside.
But mostly it was the warm waters racing over tnose
polio-stricken legs. It was the exercises his limbs would
perform, miraculously, as he raced around the giant pool
with gangs of children screaming in his ear. Warm Springs %
was a place of healing for this genius of the common
people. He loved the life it offered him. Little wonder,
then, life ended for Franklin Delano Roosevelt in that
sleepy, southern retreat that he so often called “down
home.”
On April 12, 1945 at 1:00 p.m. as the famous
“unfinished Portrait” was being completed by Madam
Shoumatoff, (it never was) President Roosevelt suffered a
massive cerebral hemorrhage and died in the Little White
House two hours later. His train, standing at the depot,
took him for the last time away from the waters of Warm
Springs to Washington and finally to his New York home
for burial.
For his leadership in the nation and finally in the world
Franklin D. Roosevelt, a man who won the Presidency for
a record four terms, was called a savior. Down in Warm
Springs, Georgia in those famous baths, still bubbling
from the earth, he was known as a man who knew pain in
himself and others and sought to bring healing.

The archdiocesan celebration of the Rite of Election of
Catechumens and previously-baptized candidates will take
place at Christ the King Cathedral at 3 p.m. on the first
Sunday of Lent, February 28.
Archbishop Thomas Donnellan will preside.
Participants in the celebration will be non-Catholic
members of parish inquiry classes along with their
sponsors, families and parish priests and deacons, as well
as others actively involved in the inquiry process of each
parish.
All participants are requested to be in their places at
the cathedral at 2:45 p.m. so final directions may be given
prior to the ceremony. The celebration will consist of a
Liturgy of the Word prior to the rite proper. There will
not be a Liturgy of the Eucharist.
The purpose of the February 28 celebration is the
preparation of catechumens and previously baptized
candidates for the celebration of their profession of faith,
Baptism, (for the unbaptized), Confirmation and
Eucharist. These rites will be conducted during the
Easter Vigil or as soon afterwards as possible.
The Rite of Election expresses the ongoing work of
conversion and initiation at the heart of the Church’s
mission and is commended in a very special way within
the context of evangelization.
Participating parishes are requested to bring a typed list
of catechumens and candidates indicating the status of
each participant. The list will be presented to the
archbishop during the rite.
An informal reception will follow the celebration at the
Cathedral’s Hyland Center so that catechumens and
candidates may meet with Archbishop Donnellan.
Families and friends are also invited to attend.
Participating priests and deacons are asked to bring an
alb or surplice and cassock and violet stole.
Girls’ Organizations Committee
Offers Spiritual Workday
BY CHERYL MORRELL
The Archdiocesan Committee on Girls’ Organizations
was formed about one year ago to foster and encourage
more interest and participation in religious activities
especially designed for organizations such as Campfire,
Inc. and Girl Scouts of America.
The enormously successful Fall Celebration Day held
last October was the first effort at involving girls in
Religious Recognitions Programs available to them. As a
follow-up, the committee is sponsoring a special Spiritual
Workday for Campfire Girls and Girl Scouts of all levels
who are or will be working on religious recognitions this
year.
The workday will be held on Saturday, February 27
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at historic Immaculate Conception
Church on MartinLuther King, Jr. Drive in Atlanta. In the
planning stage are workshops, speakers, a tour of the
church, Mass, a “bring your own” sack lunch and a visit
to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Free Cancer Home. All
activities are designed to fit in with requirements for the
recognitions.
In order to be fully prepared for the day, the
committee asks that anyone interested in attending please
contact Cheryl Fletcher (458-0590) or Cheryl Morrell
(491-8467).
Another special event coming in March for Scouts and
Campfire Girls promises to attract a great deal of
attention. Both organizations are celebrating birthdays
that month and part of those celebrations are Sundays set
aside as Girl Scout Sunday, March 7 and Campfire
Sunday, March 14. All Scouts and Campfire girls and
their families are asked to attend Mass on their Sunday as
a group in their own particular parish. For more
information on Girl Scout Sunday call Cheryl Morrell
(491-8467) as soon as possible. Campfire Girls can call
Judy McDaniel at the Campfire Inc. office.
Dr. Seuss Awarded Regina Medal
HAVERFORD, Pa. (NC) - Theodore Seuss Geisel, 77,
better known as Dr. Seuss, author and illustrator of more
than 40 children’s books, will receive the Regina Medal
Award from the Catholic Library Association April 13 at
the association’s 61st annual convention in Chicago.
Dr. Seuss began a revolution in books for young
children with his rhymed nonsense stories and absurd
creatures.
The Catholic Library Association established the
Regina Medal Award in 1959 to honor excellence in
literature for children.
Bom in Springfield, Mass., March 2, 1904, Geisel was
educated at Dartmouth College and Oxford University. He
holds a doctorate from Dartmouth.
He served in the U.S. Army during World War II and
has been a magazine and advertising illustrator, an
editorial cartoonist and the producer and designer of
documentary features and cartoons for motion pictures,
including two documentaries and a cartoon which won
Academy Awards.
Among his children’s books are “The Cat in the Hat,”
“How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” “Yertle the Turtle,”
“Green Eggs and Ham,” “The King’s Stilts,” “And to
Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street” and
“McElligott’s Pool.”
ROCK MENACE -- A huge boulder hangs
menacingly over subdivision homes in Castle
Rock, Coio. Because the slipping boulder is on
church property near St. Francis of Assisi Church,
the Denver Archdiocese has been working with
Castle Rock and Douglas County officials to
dismantle and remove it.
From Saigon To St. Marks —
(Continued from page 1)
“They have had a hard time finding work,” but have
managed to find “a couple of odd jobs,” the priest added.
“They are building me a window solar unit for the church,
working with a retired man who is a parishioner.”
Another parishioner of St. Mark’s has volunteered to
teach the brothers to drive, and Father Francis Phong of
St. John the Evangelist Church in Hapeville recently
invited them down to celebrate the Vietnamese New Year
with the Vietnamese community.
Little by little, Khoi and Khoa Dinh are making their
mark in Georgia, settling in and becoming more
comfortable with their new surroundings.
Father Pete shares morning prayer with his guests and
they frequently accompany him on the many home visits
he makes in his travels through the mountains.
“It’s working out fairly well,” the hospitable priest
remarked amiably. “I come from a family of 11 and I like
a little action around here!”

systematic restrictions on religious freedom” in El
Salvador for Catholics and Protestants.
The report said there are an estimated 500,000
Salvadorans displaced by violence and that 350,000
Salvadoran refugees live in neighboring countries and the
United States.
Many refugees have been killed by security forces as
they fled, relief supplies to refugee camps have often been
impeded and some church-sponsored camps in El Salvador
have been raided by Salvadoran security forces as have
camps established across the border in Honduras, the
report said, because “the government believes that
refugees constitute a security issue rather than a relief
problem.”
The report said massacres of villagers seeking to cross
into Honduras took place in May 1980 and March 1981.
Of the estimated 100,000 Salvadoran refugees in the
United States many entered the country illegally, it
added. Since 1980, close to 2,400 were deported by
immigration authorities and about 11,000 were persuaded
to leave after long confinement or high bail, it said.
“Civil liberties organizations, religious, ethnic and legal
aid groups and a number of congressmen have pressed the
Department of State to grant ‘extended voluntary
departure’ to Salvadorans in this country who have
expressed fear of returning to El Salvador,” the report
said.
The fact that “the United States has become deeply
involved at a diplomatic, economic and military level in
the affairs of El Salvador” prompted the ACLU for the
first time to report on human rights violations in a foreign
country, said a spokesman for the group.
