Archbishop Raymond G. Hunthausen of Seattle prayed that God’s blessings would be with his new coadjutor, and as the two embraced the congregation burst into applause. The invitation-only welcoming service was held at St. James Cathedral and more than 800 people attended, in cluding 15 visiting bishops and members of Archbishop Murphy’s family. Archbishop Murphy said that a “primary” reason he ac cepted his assignment as a coadjutor with the right of suc cession in Seattle was the “ability and opportunity to work, pray, laugh, dream and even cry at times, with our arch bishop, Raymond Hunthausen.” Archbishop Murphy was appointed coadjutor by Pope John Paul II on May 27. The appointment was recommend ed by a Vatican-created commission which assessed the situation in Seattle after a 1983 apostolic visitation and the 1985 appointment of Auxiliary Bishop Donald Wuerl, who was given special authority over certain church jurisdic tions removed from the direct control of Archbishop Hunthausen. With the appointment of Archbishop Murphy in May, however, Bishop Wuerl’s role in Seattle was terminated and he left to await reassignment while Archbishop Hunt- hausen’s powers were restored. During the welcoming service, Archbishop Murphy discussed Jesus’ invitation in John's Gospel to “come and see.” “I have heard the invitation shared by Jesus with those who chose to follow him, he said. “And, in the process, 1 have been blessed; I have been enriched in ways that bog gle the human mind.” The blessings, he said, have included his 20-year ministry as a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago and his past nine years as bishop of Great Falls-Billings, Mont. Now, Archbishop Murphy added, “I have been invited to ‘come and see’ and to discover the presence of the Lord in western Washington. He promised to “work together to preserve the unity which has the spirit as its origin and peace as its binding force.” Archbishop Hunthausen welcomed Archbishop Murphy as “a brother and as a friend,” pledging him “our respect, our support, and our love." Speaking as a former bishop of Helena, Mont., Arch bishop Hunthausen told Archbishop Murphy: “I know that you will soon come to call this beautiful part of God’s creation, this church, home', and that you will find, as I have, that there is much, much love here — and much worth loving." The archbishops said at a press conference July 15 that they would meet with the Vatican-created commission before Aug. 1, probably in Chicago. The commission con sists of Cardinals Joseph L. Bernardin of Chicago, the chairman, and John J. O’Connor of New York, and Arch bishop John R. Quinn of San Francisco. The commission is setting the agenda, but “we will ob viously want to converse with them” about their expecta tions regarding the See over the next year, Archbishop Hunthausen said. The two archbishops’ duties in Seattle will be a “sharing of responsibility ... it’s not one of dividing them up,” Arch bishop Hunthausen said. The two also concurred that Archbishop Hunthausen has final, decision-making authority, and both also said they do not expect to discuss the Seattle situation with the pope when he meets with the U.S. bishops in Los Angeles in September. $ 10,000 Donated To Mary's Pence BY SISTER MARY ANN WALSH WASHINGTON (NC) — In its first two months of ex istence about $10,000 has been donated to Mary’s Pence, a Catholic foundation to aid women and children, especially the poor. Persons from throughout the United States have given to the fund, with most individual donations coming “in amounts of $5 and $10 each,” said Maureen Gallagher, one of the fund’s staff persons. The $10,000 also includes a donation of $1,000 from the Association of Chicago Priests. Organizers of the fund, which is a project of Chicago Catholic Women, established the foundation as an alter native to present church collections. Miss Gallagher, in a telephone interview, also said that future plans include seeking permission in the Chicago Archdiocese to take up "a separate collection in churches for Mary’s Pence, perhaps on a Marian feast day.” The fund also will seek support from theological associa tions, especially those in which women are active, she said. Theologian Rosemary Radford Reuther, a foundation board member, predicted in May that,the foundation would be successful if it is "not seen as a direct rival to Peter's Pence,” the annual church collection to be used at the pope's discretion. In 1986, Peter’s Pence raised about $32 million, most of which in recent years has been used to cover the Vatican’s deficit. When announcing the project, the foundation said in a statement that Mary’s Pence will support ministries “such as women’s shelters, housing advocacy, legal services, and centers for creative theology, liturgy and healing.” MORTGAGES MORTGAGES MORTGAGES HOME LOANS FOR BUYING OR REFINANCING CALL THE PROFESSIONALS WE OFFER' •CONVENTIONAL • FHA/VA • FIXED •JUMBOS CALL REPUBLIC MORTGAGE CORP. 441-2399 / \ BATHROOMS SHOULDN'T BE BORING /■ MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE -the-mostet-both- (404)971-8162 MARK MESSIER MASIFR PIUM8I R OF MCiNI R/BUUDIR LYNN BRCSSLER JOURNf YMAN Pi UMBIR OF SIGN SOCIALIST / Do Your Floors Need A Good Cleaning FREE ESTIMATES Hardwood & Parquet Kitchen & Bathroom Cleaned, Waxed & Buffed (Vinyl or Tile) or Sanded S.
