Catholic Bishop of Raleigh rational Feast Of Diocese Set Raleigh — Pointing out that ane 21, is the Feast of The acred Heart of Jesus, the atronal feast of the Cathedral f the Diocese, Bishop Waters sked that the clergy respond by ncouraging the members of leir congregations to attend [>ecial services in the light of lis observance. The feast, he said, seems to be almost the fulfillment of the turgical and theological imple lentation of the Mystical Body f Christ.” This year the Feast of the Sa red Heart also marks the fifth nniversary of the election of 'ope Paul VI.

The Church established the liturgical feast to give the Peo ple of God an opportunity to give witness to the love that caused Jesus to institute the Sac rament of His love and to make atonement for the neglect, in difference, insults and sacrilege to which He is subject. Archbishop Is on Panel Washington — (NC) — Arch bishop Terence J. Cooke of New York was named by President Lyndon B. Johnson to a special commission to study the causes and means to end hatred and violence in America. The president announced the commission in a nationally tele vised address, just hours before Sen. Robert F. Kennedy died of bullet wounds inflicted at his campaign headquarters in Los Angeles. The commission, headed by Milton Eisenhower, brother of the former President, was charg ed with finding out “why we in flict such suffering on our selves.” The President called the shoot ing another example of “lawless ness and violence in our coun try. “We do not know the reasons that inspired the attack on Sena tor Kennedy,” he said. “We know only that a brilliant career of public service has been brutally interrupted.” Earlier in the day, Sen. Eu gene McCarthy had said that it would be wrong to assume that the shooting of the Senator Ken nedy was only the product of one individual’s sickness. In stead, he said, the entire na tion must share the guilt for cre ating the conditions which lead to such acts. Bishop Leaves For New Post In St. Petersburg Raleigh — Taking the mission ary work of the apostles which are the first scripture readings of Pentecost week, Bishop Waters drew a similar theme in the de parture of Bishop McLaughlin to his first diocese at St. Peters burg, Florida. The sermon was given during a farewell Mass co-celebrated by the two bishops, largely attend ed by the clergy of the diocese. Speaking at Sacred Heart Ca thedral here on June 3, Bishop Waters cited the Acts of the Apostles in which St. Peter an swered the first call from the Holy Spirit and sent Cornelius and Barnabas from the church at Jerusalem to Antioch to preach the gospel there. THROUGH THE same voice and Peter’s successor, Pope Paul VI, Bishop McLaughlin responds to the voice of Christ Vicar on earth and becomes responsible for God’s divine revelation to man, said Bishop Waters. “We continue in a spirit of unity with Bishop McLaughlin through the daily offering of the Mass,” he said. The Most Rev. Charles B. Mc Laughlin will be installed as the first Bishop of St. Petersburg on June 17. The lector for the Mass was the Very Rev. Charles J. O’Con nor, Cathedral rector. ASSISTING CLERGY in the sanctuary were Fathers Ralph Monk, J. Paul Byron, Michael Shrugue and Joseph KeUeher. Following a luncheon at the residence of Bishop Waters, a testimonial gift was presented to the departing Bishop. The expression of the good wishes of the clergy was made by the Rt. Rev. James E. McSweeney of Durham. A pair of ceremonial miters and an Accutron wristwatch were gifts of the clergy. Expressing appreciation in an informal way, Bishop McLaugh lin said that the fraternal spirit of concern and cooperation among the Raleigh diocesan clergy was most impressive to him. As Bishop of St. Petersburg he jokingly said that the priests of North Carolina would be wel come there on retiring. Official The following appoint ments are announced by the Most Reverend Bishop through the Diocesan Chan cery; effective Thursday, June 20, 1968. The Rev. Patrick N. Gal lagher is appointed pastor of St. Egbert’s Church, Morehead City. The Rev. Robert T. Law son is appointed administra tor of St. Mary’s Church, Laurinburg, and the mis sion of St. Andrew at Red Springs. The Rev. Richard F. Allen is appointed Director of Vocations for the Dio cese of Raleigh. The Very Rev. Louis E. Morton Chancellor Pope Offers Prayers U.S. Mourns Death Of Sen. Kennedy American prelates joined with national leaders in expressing shock and horror at the death of Senator Robert Francis Kennedy, 42, on June 6. The New York Senator — who was shot after giving a victory statement following the California primary — died at Good Samari tan nospnai in ix>s Angeies some 25 hours after being shot by the assassin. The Senator’s body was flown to New York and a requiem Mass at St. Patrick’s cathedral in New York was offered June 8. The man charged with the shooting, Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, 23, was arrested at the scene of the crime after shooting Senator Kennedy and wounding five other persons. He is in the custody of the Los Angeles police and has been identified as a resident of Pasadena, a city near Los Angeles. Immediately after hearing of the Senator’s death, Pope Paul VI retired to his private chapel to pray for Kennedy and his family. Pope Paul “raises his prayer to God” that the death of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy “may obtain from heaven more understanding among men and a greater aware ness of their brotherhood,” a Vatican spokesman announced. THE SPOKESMAN, Msgr. Fausto Vallainc, head of the Holy Prayers Said For Senator Raleigh — At the request of Bishop Waters, prayers for the repose of the soul of Sen. Rob ert F.
