er Was as the “burden and respon
sibility” that all must bear.
Father Frederick McManus, re
tiring president of the National
iturgical Conference, said a pri
aaiy concern of the organization
sivays has been “education, the
spread of understanding . . . for
iturgical participation and under
tan ding.”
He welcomed Protestant, Ortho
tox and Jewish participants to the
invention, observing “every
lathering, great and small,
inooths the path a little.” He as
erted: "We pray together for the
inity of all . . . and we ask their

FATHER McMANUS said the li
turgical changes in the Church
'came as a sudden surprise,” but
the temptation now is to regard
Item as “a big step.” He added:
“The liturgical renewal is only be
ginning.”
Bishop Charles A. Buswell of
Pueblo, Colo., advised Catholic pas

mixing with parishioners. He
said 'V “Vatican council demands

“Just as Christ came into the
world to become involved with
aen and with human affairs, so
Be has willed to make us His
members in order that we too be
come involved,” the bishop said.
Bishop Buswell said a pastor is
available in a special way at holy
Bass to his parishioners. He con
inued: “Why can’t we, after we
eiebrate Mass, leave the church

wtibule at the door of the church

“A shake of the hand, a cheery
word, a sincere smile from the
bishop or priest is a truly Christ
like manifestation of love and in
terest on the part of the shepherd
for his own. And it is a regular
and frequent way of making him
self available when otherwise op
portunities for personal greetings
may be infrequent.”
Father John J. McEneaney of
Brookings, S.D., treasurer of the
National Liturgical Conference,
told the convention “the world has
watched in amazement” as the
“unchanging” Roman Church in
stituted programs of inquiry and
reform.
HE RECALLED that before the
Vatican council “we were serenely
confident that everything was all
right with the Church.” But since
the first session of the council in
1962 many Catholics have been
“dazzled” by the changes.
Father McEneaney said external
changes are not enough —“we
must change our attitude.” Mere
compliance with the laws of the
Church would be “disaster,” he
added. The call of the Church,
guided by the spirit of the council,
is “to overcome our selfishness
and narrowness, to move beyond
our parish boundaries into the
world,” he asserted.

5.7 Million Are Enrolled
In U.S. Catholic Schools
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
WASHINGTON — A record 5.7
million students have enrolled in
the nation’s Catholic elementary
and secondary schools this month.
This is the estimate of the Na
tional Catholic Educational Associa
tion, based on preliminary reports
from diocesan school superintend
ents.
This means that about 89,000
more pupils have been added to
the rolls.
The students are in a network
of private schools whose financial
value this school year is placed
at more than $3.4 billion by the
U.S. Office of Education.
When private colleges are added
to the U.S. agency’s total of esti
mated educational expenditures,
the figure for private education
runs to $8.6 billion, based on the
assumption that expenditures per
teacher are the same as public
schools.
The NCEA issued these esti
mates:
—Elementary schools went from
4,541,000 pupils to 4,593,000—an
increase of 52,000.
—Secondary schools increased
from 1,087,000 students to 1,124,
000—a jump of 37,000.
THE ESTIMATE for grade
school enrollment means an in
crease of one percent, a figure
considerably below the spectacular

Dr. Alfred L. Frechette, has asked
Dr. James M. Faulkner, former
dean of the Boston University law
school, to recruit top legal talent
for examination of law in the light
of the U.S. Supreme Court deci
sion which struck down a similar
law in Connecticut.
Dr. Frechette, whose stand is
keeping the birth control issue
alive in this state, said: “My con
cern is solely the proven relation
ship between frequent births and
the health of mothers — solely
the health aspects of the matter.”
The state commissioner also
said: “The state health department
frequently is asked whether finan
cial assistance is available to pro
vide family planning services for
cases where the mother’s health
is in jeopardy. The answer has to
be: there is no such assistance and,
moreover, to provide it is illegal.”
TWO ALTERNATIVES are
open to proponents of the move
to make dissemination of “birth
control information and devices”
available to married couples and
persons over 21 years of age.
One is to ask Atty. Gen. Edward
Brooke whether the court ruling

m the Connecticut case nuuuies
the Massachusetts law.
The other is to create a test
case, having someone violate the
law so that the matter can be
brought into the courts. Both
courses are now being studied.
Recent action of the legislature
in refusing to abolish the birth
control law came as a surprise,
especially after Boston’s Richard
Cardinal Cushing announced he fa
vored liberalization of the statute.

growth rate of the post-World War
II years, but one slightly above
last year’s increase which came to
only two tenths of one percent.
As for high schools, enrollment
growth is picking up speed as the
student numbers which literally
overwhelmed some grade schools
a few years back reach the sec
ondary level.
The estimated high school en
rollment increase this school year
is 3.4 percent, following on the
heels of a 2 percent jump the year
before.
The NCEA said it expects that
later reports will confirm that
many applicants for Catholic
schools had to be turned away.
It said that last year 78 dio
ceses which kept track of rejec
tions reported that 133,000 grade
school pupils had to be turned
away for lack of space as did
62,000 seeking admission to Catho
lic high schools.
