Relief Agency
Doubles Funds
For Ethiopia
BY TRACY EARLY
NEW YORK (NC) -
Catholic Relief Services
has doubled its two-year
emergency aid package for
Ethiopia, from $15 million
to $30 million.
Within “a month or
two” the Catholic overseas
aid agency expects to
begin .getting food into
previously unreached
“conflict areas,” said CRS
executive director
Lawrence Pezzullo in
announcing the aid
increase May 8.
But “no one is taking a
leadership position” on
the long-range food
problem in Africa, he said.
Without that, he said, “in
five years’ time or less we
will see those ugly pictures
again” of people dying
from starvation.
Pezzullo praised the
results of a meeting in
Geneva in March at which
U.S. and Ethiopian
officials worked out an
agreement to allow aid
into conflict areas.
“You’ve got a civil war
going on,” he said. Before
the March meeting, the
Ethiopian government had
been unwilling to
acknowledge the war or to
grant rebel groups any
recognition in arranging
for entry of relief supplies
into their areas, he said.
The war particularly
affects the two northern
provinces of Tigray and
Eritrea, where separatist
movements have been
active. Pezzullo said Tigray
was the province most
severely affected by the
drought, and Eritrea the
third most affected.
He said CRS already has
a number of feeding
stations in Tigray and
Eritrea, but the new
arrangement will mean
moving out from these
central stations to reach
sections of the provinces
not previously aided.

The Ministry To Priests
THE MINISTRY To Priests
Program is being adopted by the
Atlanta clergy as a renewal
program. Recently the priests of
the archdiocese completed the
second part of the preparation
which consisted in writing a
description of themselves and their
needs for those who will lead the
program. Some of the priests

Parishes Raise Money For Starving
Parishes in the
Archdiocese of Atlanta are
reaching out to the
starving millions in
Ethiopia in fund-raising
projects that are aimed at
drawing large numbers of
participants. While
parishioners have been
responding on the
individual level to appeals
for funds to help Catholic
Relief Services in this
emergency aid to starving
Ethiopians, parish groups
are beginning to promote
the effort on a broader
scale.
This weekend at St.
Catherine of Siena parish
in Kennesaw a bake sale
will be held after all the
masses with money raised
going to the Catholic
Relief Services.
Information can be
obtained by calling Carol
O’Brien at 428-7831 or
Pat Wahl at 974-9436.
A parish fund-raising
effort for the same goal is
the volunteering, by
several women of the
parish, to care for 120
children at the First
Baptist Chuch in
Kennesaw. Another is a
car wash being planned by
the men and youth of the
parish.
On May 24 and 25,
members of Our Lady of
Fatima Circle of All Saints
parish in Dunwoody will
hold a garage sale with all
proceeds to be forwarded
to Catholic Relief Services.
Baked goods will be sold,
and handcrafted articles
awarded to lucky
ticketholders.
The garage sale will be
held from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. at the Lenzi and
Leveille homes on
Clinchfield Trail, Station
II, Norcross. Anyone
wishing to donate
furniture, bicycles, and
any other items unearthed
during spring cleaning can
call Walli at 449-4741 or
Grace at 441-1438.
