PAGE 3 — The Georgia Bulletin, November 9. 1989 Group Forms Faith A group of lay Catholics in the archdiocese have formed an organization to plan and provide several programs a year on the Catholic faith with promi nent speakers. The first program of the Faith Enrichment Institute will be November 18 at Simpsonwood Retreat Center in Norcross. Dr. Deal Hudson, associate professor of philosophy and religion at Fordham University, New York, and Father Richard Lopez, teacher and priest of the archdiocese, will speak on “The Quest for Happi ness.” The program, from 9 a m. to 3:30 p.m. includes morning Mass and evening prayer, presentations by the two speakers, a midday lunch, and afternoon discussion led by the speakers. A registration fee of $10 includes lunch. Permanent deacon Loris Sinanian, who is executive director of FEI, said he and six other lay Catholics, in cluding attorney Dennis Mackin, and adult educa tion coordinator Jean Far rell from All Saints parish, Dunwoody, make up the first board of directors. Joseph Romasco from All Saints parish is associate director. FEI has formally re quested ecclesiastical recognition as a private association affiliated with the archdiocese of Atlanta, Sinanian said, and plans to add three priests to the board of directors as part of the process of affiliation. The objective of the organization is “to follow the direction of Pope Paul VI after the first session of Vatican II to ‘Lift Jesus Higher!’ by sponsoring seminars” aimed at Catholic professionals and their families. Among the concerns outlined by the group are the threat of secularization in the United States and the lack of im pact that middle-class Catholics are having upon American culture with their faith.
