Father Myron Kowalsky, Minister Provincial of the Midwest Capuchin Province of St. Joseph received the vows for the Capuchin Order and Brother Joseph Hager, S.M., president of the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus was the homilist. Brother Smith is one of six children of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Smith of Decatur, members of Sts. Peter and Paul parish. He was bom in Chicago and attended St. Mel and St. Domitilla Parochial Schools in Chicago before entering St. Lawrence Seminary, Mt. Calvary, Wisconsin in 1972. He joined the Midwest Capuchins in 1978 and professed his Simple Religious Vows on August 14, 1979. While pursuing his studies, Brother Smith has worked as a chaplain and counselor at the Wayne County Youth Home in D e troit, Michigan, a teacher and coach at St. Lawrence Seminary, and a teacher and coach at St. Justin’s Parish in Chicago.

Following his Solemn Vows, Brother Smith will be stationed at the newly established Martin House, 84 3 West Garfield Boulevard, Chicago. Martin House has been established by the Midwest Capuchin to offer a special opportunity to young men from the Hispanic and Black Communities to look at Capuchin life and ministry as a viable vocational choice. Young men will be given the opportunity to experience community life-style on a day to day basis while clarifying and solidifying their relationship with God and Church without making a permanent commitment. The house will give young men from minority cultures the opportunity to get to know the Capuchin way of life and ministry and the Capuchin Community the opportunity to get to know them. St. Joseph's Hospital: M. Scott Peck, M.D. At Seminar The Saint Joseph’s Hospital Foundation will present two lectures and a workshop series by M. Scott Peck, M.D. psychiatrist and well-known author of the two national best sellers “The Road Less Traveled” and “People of the Lie.” The seminar will be held Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 14-16 in the Saint Joseph’s Hospital’s Woodruff Auditorium, 5665 Peachtree Dunwoody Rd., NE at Interstate 285 N. Dr. Peck’s books have sold nearly one million copies nationwide. Sold out audiences across the country have heard Dr. Peck speak on various subjects relating to his “new psychology of love, traditional values and spiritual growth.” In “The Road Less Traveled,” Dr. Peck discusses the effectiveness of discipline in all facets of life. He deals with various definitions of love and how it manifests itself in human relationships. The latter chapters explore the realm of spiritual growth, religion and the process by which each person continually evolves to a higher level of spiritual awareness. “People of the Lie” confronts the existence of an evil force within the human spirit Dr. Peck’s work is significant in its potential for stirring its audience and inspiring questions which lead to motivation for positive change and growth. Pre-registration is required and early registration is suggested as both of Dr. Peck’s previous seminars were sold out three to four weeks in advance.
