Where 'One' Covers Ground For Three'
- By Frederick Koch
“Keeping the home fires burning” is often too big a job- for
at few devoted Catholics in regard to the maintenance of an at
tending priest and the chapel, which to them is their parish
Church.
The dozen or more envelopes which regularly find their
Way into the Sunday offertory basket cannot be any stretching

the ordinary expenses of the chap
41, much less major repairs.
Priests and people of our mis
areas are aware that the
nent residence of a parish
in any community is the
st solid step toward progress
the life of a congregation. Fac
ag reality, however, we are years
Sead -of ourselves in this high
ibition.
The four congregations of Cath
olics who look to the priests as
nigned to the Apostolate Mission
’enter at Newton Grove for pas
oral administrations, give mater
! al help as best they are able. Yet
each month, the mission finances
fun into a deficit that fluctuates
toith the crop season, the weath
er with its fuel bills, and the oc
casional demands of heavy re
pairs to car or buildings.
The mission chapel with its
"open door" looks to the monthly
assistance of the Diocesan Devel
opment Fund to meet the strug
gle toward progress in the rural
and racial neighborhoods where
the true Faith still needs an ag
gressive program to make the
spadework of “better known and
understood” possible.
Through the Diocesan Develop
ment Fund the pastoral training
program of the newly-ordained
priest of the Diocese of Raleigh:
is made a permanent and de
pendable service to the good of
the Holy Church.
The alphabet soup combinations
of letters began with the “NRA”
during the depression days. Since
then all kinds of government, wel
fare, educational as well as re
ligious agencies have used the
code.
“DDF" is comparatively new in
the life of Tar Heel Catholics.

tion to all throughout the Dio
cese of Raleigh. “DDF” means
progress in a material way; ex
tending the age old -maxim —
“God helps those who help them
selves” — but no threat to the
oft added appendage — “God
help those who get caught help
ing themselves” — this is one
time it will be honorable to help
ourselves at the home missions.

SELF LIQUIDATION
The Church’s missionary pro
gram is the world wide responsi
bility of the Sacred Congregation
for the Propagation of the Faith.
This administrative headquar
ters is a specific fulfillment of
Christ’s “Go, therefore, and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit.”
Propaganda Fide, as it is usu
ally called, is the only one of the
12 Roman congregations set up to
put itself out of business. This
liquidating process is well illus
trated by the growth and devel
opment of the Church la the
United Statu,
In the 1600s the congregation
had jurisdiction over the mission
ary activities of the English in
Maryland and the East, of the
French in the Middle West and
of the Spanish in the Southwest
and California.
Shortly after the U. S. became
a nation, the congregation estab
lished the American hierarchy.
This major development in the
mission country took place in
1788. But it was not until 1908,
only 80 years ago, that the
Church in the U. S. was deemed
.to have passed through its for
mative period and to be stable
enough to be independent of the
mission congregation.
