Shriver to FI B. Urges Churches Join In Poverty Fight Washington — (NC) — Sargent Shriver, director of the Peace Corps and of the administration’s war on poverty, urged here that Catholics, Protestants and Jews unite to fight poverty as they have united to fight prejudice. “The Catholics, the Jews, and the Protestants have united in a war against segregation and racism in America,” Shriver said. “This moral solidarity was vital to the passage of the Civil Rights Act.” IN THE SAME spirit, he said, Catholics, Protestants and Jews should “unite their moral and their material forces in a war on pover ty.” Eernaeular hanges For •ngland Set London — (NC) — The Catholic lishops of England and Wales re ealed a two-stage plan for the in roduction of the vernacular in the lass, the first phase consisting of he recitation of the Gloria and reed and the scriptural readings i English or Welsh.

BISHOP'S RESIDENCE 600 Bilyeu Street Raleigh, North Carolina June 26, 1964 My dear Brethren: During the last two or three years your attention has often been called to the plight of our Negro population in the North, South, East, and West, and the need for a bet ter recognition of their human dignity and civil rights, as well as their God-given rights as members of the Mystical Body of Christ, His Church. Although our National Congress and many of our States have made considerable progress in the last few years, there still remains much to be done. We cannot be satisfied until all men, in the Church and in the State, are treated with proper respect and recognition by their fellow-men. In this country the work among the Negroes and In dians has had special support by a collection taken up each year for work among them. This has been a real help. In this Diocese our Negro Catholics in the various par ishes are doing more and more to support the Catholic Church. That we might continue to assist in this very special mission work, as long as it is necessary, we ask you to be most generous in the collection that will be taken up on Sunday, July 5th, for the Indian and Negro Missions in our country. Sincerely yours in Christ, Bishop of Raleigh Just as “we cannot believe in God and condemn our fellow man to servitude and injustice,” he de clared, “so we cannot believe in God and condemn our fellow man to poverty and misery.” “The two problems of racial equality and poverty are insepar able today in our society. They must both be solved,” he said. SHRIVER SPOKE (June 27) at a banquet during the 29th nation al convention sponsored by the Family Life Bureau of the Nation al Catholic Welfare Conference. Some 500 priests, Religious and laymen active in family life work throughout the country attended the convention. In line with the convention theme — “The Child: His Glory and His Rights” — Shriver em phasized the harmful impact of poverty on children in this coun try and abroad. “The rights of the child . . . are violated every day in every part of the world,” he said. “Two thirds of the world’s children do See Poverty, page 8A AWARD WINNER — Father Barnabas M.

Bishop Swanstrom: Foreign Aid Is Safeguard For American Way of Life CLEVELAND — A bishop who carries on a worldwide mission of mercy for U.S. Catholics said this nation’s foreign aid program is im perative to preserve the American way of life. “We do not seem to realize that our foreign aid investment is not only one of the most Christian acts that this great, powerful and rich country can do, but it is an act of necessity if we are to preserve our image in the world, and our leader ship in the world, and most of all our society,” Bishop Edward E. Swanstrom asserted here. “We must help developing coun tries because our own welfare de mands it,” the executive director of Catholic Relief Services—Na tional Catholic Welfare Conference told the 22nd annual Serra Inter national convention here. “It takes no great gift of fore sight to realize that unless there is progress and unless there is growing satisfaction of just desires, there will be discontent and there DIOCESAN TEACHERS’ CERTIFICATES were awarded to twenty-five graduates of the C.C.D. Teachers’ Course in Doctrine and Methodology conducted by the Oblate Fathers and the Sisters of Providence in St. Patrick parish, Fayetteville. The closing session was highlighted by a lecture entitled “Kerygmatic Catechesis” by Fr. Robert G. Vincent, O.M.I., S.T.L., S.S.L., of Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C. The lay catechists were from Dunn, Ft. Bragg and Fayetteville. Fr. Gerald L. Lewis, Diocesan Director of the North Carolina Catholic Laymen’s Association, addressed the catechists at a graduation cere mony at St. Patrick Church. Above are four of the happy recipients with their well earned certificates. Left to right: Fr. Charles A. Mc Bennett, O.M.I., Joyce Faas, Sarah Bruckner, Vincent Guerra and Bertelle Kilmer. will be restlessness. The develop ing world would soon be a cauldron of violence, hatred and revolution without some assistance.’.’ THE PRELATE, who is auxiliary Bishop of New York, said that in “the 112 or more nations in our world, only six of them have an average income of as much as $80 a month—Sweden and Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand, Canada and the United States.” He added that two-thirds of the world’s peo ple have an income of less than $8 a month. “Under such conditions, commu nism with its false and easy prom ises of a magic formula might well be able to transform popular de sires into an instrument of revolu tion,” Bishop Swanstrom said. “That is why every American who is concerned about the future of his country must also be concerned about the future of Africa, Asia and our old friends in Latin Amer ica.” Bishop Swanstrom told the con vention the gross national product in the U.S. is running at the rate of $608 billion annually. He said President Johnson this year is seek ing a foreign aid program of $3.4 billion, much of it in military as sistance. “I wonder if anyone ever stopped to figure out how much good for the people of the world we might accomplish if we could put the $50 billion we spend each year on armaments into work for man’s improvement rather than destruc tion,” Bishop Swanstrom declared. THE RELIEF agency director lauded the generosity of U.S. Cath olics who annually “give us about $5 million a year for the basic support” of the Bishops’ Relief Fund program and “about 18 mil lion pounds of clothing” in the an nual Thanksgiving Clothing Cam paign. “With all the help that we get from you, through the taxes that you pay to our government and from foundations and other fund raising groups, we maintained a program last year which had a value of over $176 million—$176, 525,972.91 to be exact,” Bishop Swanstrom said. “The most important thing about that statistic—and nobody likes statistics—is the fact that the pro gram had some impact in one way or another on the lives of some 40 million people in 79 countries in the world,” the bishop stressed.
