The Pope declared the Year for Priests on June 19, 2009, "To encourage priests in striving for spiritual perfection~ The priesthood is a gift for "the person who receives it, for the entire Church, and for the wortd which would be lost without the real presence of Christ," said the Pope. In the Diocese of Raleigh, the Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge established a Year for Priests committee that created a unique prayer for priests. Prayer cards were distributed throughout the Diocese. Bishop Burbidge encouraged each parish community to pray the Prayer for Priests before or after Mass each Sunday, before parish meetings and programs and, especially, within homes. The Bishop celebrated the opening Mass for the Year on June 21, 2009. At a Mass on August 4, the Feast of St John Vianney, the Bishop blessed a statue of Saint John V1811ney that traveled to the eight deaneries of the Diocese throughout the year. During the Year for Priests, the Diocesan Web site and NO Catholics magazine featured a regular "Did You Know?" column, in which Priests in the Diocese answered questions about their interests and activities. The Offices of Evangelization and Catechesis and Catholic Schools sponsored the Diocesan Year for Priests Poetry and Essay Contest Students wrote on topics such as their favorite priests and thoughts about the Priesthood. At Cardinal Gibbons High School (CGHS) in Raleigh, the students sent cards to parish priests and thanked them for their service and witness of faith. Fr. Ned Shlesinger, Director of Vocations, spoke to all of the theology classes about Holy Orders and the life of a priest. "We hope that our priests felt appreciated," said Mark DelaRosa, a Theology instructor at CG HS and Chair of the Year for Aiests committee. "And that some of our young people might be inspired to serve the Church through ordained ministry.' During the Year for Priests, Bishop Burbidge also scheduled eight Prayer Days with priests of the Diocese. The prayer days were a way to strengthen the bond between the Bishop and his priests and a chance to share stories of priestly life, ministry and fraternity. "Like the Year for Priests itself," the Bishop said, "these meetings, with God's grace, will be a time of renewal, and help lead us to an even deeper commitment to our spiritual lives, upon which the effectiveness of all our ministries depends~ Father JaVan Saxon of Saint Mary Catholic Church in Laurinburg called the Year for Priests a humbling experience. "I fe~ a strong solidarity with my brother priests and the support of the whole Church and God's people," Father Saxon explained. "It deepened my prayer life; I prayed more earnestly for my brothers and God's people who are struggling. "I feel so blessed," Father Saxon said, "that we have 14 seminarians and ftve more getting ready to enroll. Bishop Burbidge evokes a desire from priests to be the best we can be~ Pope Benedict concluded the Year for Priests on June 11, 2010, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, with Mass in St Peter's Square attended by 10,000 clergy from around the world. They renewed their vows and the Holy Father proclaimed St John Vianney as the patron saint of all priests worldwide. "In this way we also wanted to demonstrate once again to young people that this vocation, this fellowship of service for God and with God, does exist - and that God is indeed waiting for us to say 'yes," said Pope Benedict "Together with the whole Church we wanted to make clear once again that we have to ask God for this vocation~ Bishop Burbidge celebrated the Diocesan closing Mass for the Year for Priests on June 29th at St Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in Southem Pines. In a letter to the faithful, the Bishop wrote, "Wtth my brother priests, I convey sincere gratitude for the many ways in which you express your great love for the Priesthood~ c ( { l Brendan J.

The men completed a five year program of formation and have been assigned to ministry at 14 parishes in the Diocese (see page 8). In his homily, Bishop Burbidge told the Deacons that they were "chosen by the Lord and His Church for sacramental $ervice." The Bishop said that with the imposi- I tion of hands and the prayer of consecration, "You will be configured forever to Christ the Servant~ He explained that through ordination, they will be sent as "servants of the Word, at the altar and of charity." Bishop Burbidge reminded them that in proclaiming the Word they must do so without compromise, fear or hesitation.

Addressing the wives and children of the Deacons, Bishop Burbidge expressed his deep appreciation for the support they have given during the discernment and forma· tion process. The Bishop also expressed gratitude to Msgr. Michael Clay and Father James Garneau for their leader· ship and guidance in the formation of the new Deacons. .

', Fc.1 Bishop Approves Pastoral Plan II+ The Diocese of Raleigh has created a new Diocesan Pastoral Plan to address the needs of a growing Church in Eastern North Carolina Work on the Plan began May, 2009 and progressed through numerous stages of consultation and revision before being presented to and approved by the Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge in June, 201 0. 1 Bishop Burbidge initiated the process to help the Diocese and parishes detennine their most important needs and establish goals to address those needs. The Bishop named Dr. Michael J. Fedewa, Superintendent of Catholic Formation and Education, and Ms. Kathleen Walsh, Executive Director of Catholic Charities, as facilitators of the process because of their vast experience working with the people of the Diocese. The ten·month process included initial presentations to the Priests' Council, the Council of Religious, Pastoral Administrators and the Diocesan Central Administration. That was followed by separate meetings in the eight Deaneries of the Diocese. A total of 425 people throughout the Diocese were involved in the discussions and crafting the document MThat's really the strength of the Diocesan Pastoral Plan," said Dr. Fedewa. "It's the level of collaboration that took place in its development. The breadth and scope of this initiative will serve the Diocese and its parishes very well in mapping out a future for ministry:' Ms. Walsh concurred. "It was impressive to me to see once again how interested and involved the parishioners were across the Diocese," she said, "and how much we all care about the Church in Eastern North Carolina." "Rather than start with a clean sheet of paper," Bishop , Burbidge said, "we needed something from which to work~ In 2009, after extensive review and discussion, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops established five priorities that the Church would focus on from 2010-2013. It was agreed that the five national priorities could serve as the major priorities of the Diocese of Raleigh. In reviewing the challenges and opportunities facing the Diocese, two additional ones were added for a total of seven. They are: • • • • Promote the life and dignity of the human person Focus on Faith Fonnation and Sacramental Practice Cultural Diversity Promote Vocations to the Priesthood and Consecrated Ufe • Implement the national pastoral initiative on marriage • Practice the effective stewardship of resources • Plan for the effective management of growth The priorities, along with a list of ongoing projects, fanned the working document presented to the Deaneries for discussion and the establishment of goals to support each priority. In February, representatives from the eight Deaneries met with Bishop Burbidge to present their feedback directly to him. This also provided each Deanery an opportunity to hear the comments of the other seven. 1 '•~'*" 1 Following that meeting, a revised document was then presented to the collegial bodies. In May, the Priests' Council reviewed it and recommended its approval to Bishop Burbidge, who accepted it. Dr. Denis Carter, a representative from Cape Fear Deanery, said, "The Diocesan Pastoral Plan provides a guide as to how best to use our 6mited resources and to leverage them by focusing on a common set of priorities. It fosters a sense of shared priorities~ Mr. Carter said several specific items emerged, including the need for a new Cathedral and stronger engagement with teenagers and college youth. MWhile these topics may have been talked about in various circles," he said, "they now rise to the level of common Diocesan focus where it is possible to address it~ Mickey McGoldrick, parish administrator at Saint Raphael Church in Raleigh and a member of the Raleigh Deanery, said the process was effective. "We had adequate time prior to the meeting to read the document and prepare our thoughts and comments. Sharing in the process with colleagues from around the Deanery provided us the opportunity for added perspective," she said. Father Robert Benko, Pastor of Blessed Sacrament Church in Burlington and Dean of the Piedmont Deanery, commended Bishop Burbidge for "including everyone on the parish level as well as the Diocesan level. "This plan is not a template plan," Father Benko said. "It is meant to provide focus, but leaves open the implementation to each parish in the way they best see fit for their local needs. This plan will help us realize that we are part of a Catholic Diocese and a Catholic Church and not just a local parish~ "I was surprised at the unanimity that was attained at our initial Deanery meeting on the plan," said Father Justin Kerber, Pastor of Saint Peter Church in Greenville and Dean of the Tar River Deanery. MWe are all so busy and caught up with day to day business," Father Kerber said, "This plan allows us to step back and make sure we are not losing sight of the overall goals of evangelization and service~ "I said from the beginning that I do not want a Diocesan Pastoral Plan that is a huge volume that sits on a shelf," Bishop Burbidge said. "I want it concise and something we can refer to often. It must be a living document. "I wanted a plan that is practical and realistic," the Bishop said. "I believe it is. This will be a great help to the Diocese, to me and to our parishes~ In a letter to Pastors, Bishop Burbidge asked them to implement the use of the Diocesan Pastoral Plan to form specific goals and measurable objectives to be reviewed on a regular basis with the Parish Council. All parishes are to submit their Pastoral Plans for 201 0·2011 to the Chancery Office no later than November 19, 201 0. ..,...,.

The document will be based upon the 2006 National Encuentro that developed the United States Hispanic Pastoral for Young Adults. Last year, the national document was reviewed at a regional level and is now at the Diocesan level; once it is finalized it will serve as a guideline for the Diocese and parishes. Representatives from twenty-seven parishes took part in the day·long event held at Cardinal Gib· bons High School in Raleigh. The session began with an explanation of the purpose of the National Pastoral and its importance to the Hispanic com· munity and the Church. Mr. Ricardo Veloz, Dioc· esan Coordinator of Hispanic Youth and Young Adult Ministry, provided the goals and objectives of the national document, noting that the day's challenge would be to review them and then to create an initial document of what the needs, aspi· rations and commitments should be in a Diocesan pastoral plan for youth and young adults. Small groups were formed to discuss the three areas. At the end of the day, working documents representing the needs, aspirations and commit· ments were developed by both the young people and the young adults. They were presented to the Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge at the end of Mass, which brought the day's events to a close. In accepting the two documents, Bishop Burbidge said, "I come here today to hear and to listen to how we as the Diocese of Raleigh, we as the Church and I as your Bishop can help you. It's important for me to hear what your concems are, what your hopes and aspirations are. I will take these back with me. I will pray over this and I will work with others to do my very best to respond and to help." Much is made of the influx over the last 20 years of Hispanic immigrants into our Diocese. One hundred years ago, however, another wave of Catholic immigrants came to North Carolina and, like the Latinos, had an important and beneficial impact on our Church. l'm speaking of the Lebanese, who fled religious persecution in their own country and settled in our Slate, particularly udown East," in towns like Rocky Mount and Farmville and New Bern. Diocesan historian William Powell makes a statement that might apply to our immigrants of the present day. "ln the early 19005," he writes in Tar Heel Catholics, ~Lebanese immigrants were the only group of foreigners to settle in North Carolina in numbers so substantial that for a time they comprised nearly a majority of the Catholic population of the state." The Lebanese were historically members of the Maronite Rite of the Catholic Church, but they adopted the Latin Rite in North Carolina, and became strong supporters and builders of churches in our Diocese. On july 24th, the Church celebrates the Feast of St. Sharbel Makhluf (1828-98), a priest born m Lebanon. Saint Sharbellived as a hermit from 1875 until his death. His reputation for holiness prompted people to seek out his blessing and prayers, and his tomb became a place of pilgrimage and cures. Pope Paul VI canonized him in 1977. In May l met Marianne Smith, whose account of growing up Catholic in Nazi Germany is the subject of this months cover story. She shared some wonderful, joyous moments in her life. At the same time, she faced dangers and sorrows as a child, and heartbreaks as an adult, that many of us manage to escape. I recorded our conversations, and the thing that struck me on listening later was Marianne:S frequent and hearty laughter. There is a piece of popular advice one hears these days: "Live well, laugh often, love much." It was clear that despite extraordinary, even desperate circumstances, Marianne had always managed to follow this prescription. ~ Thanks for your leHers and emalls and kind suggestions.

As a result she won a spot in the troupe of the local opera house. Her success there Jed to recognition by some of the ailluent patrons, who supported her entry into an elite riding academy. Riding and caring for the horses became one of the happiest pans of the young girls life. But darkness was all around. In her book, Marianne recalls the spring Sunday in 1941 when, as usual, she and her mother walked to church. By this time her brother, Guenter, had been recruited by the army and was rumored to be somewhere on the Eastern front. The family didn\ know if he was alive or dead. As they approached the church, soldiers on motorcycles roared by. The usual groups of people walking to Mass were absent. When they got to the door, they saw that 1t had been locked with a huge chain and padlock. Her mod1er pointed to a bright yellow warning sign nailed across tl1e huge wooden door... "Eintritt verboten!" (Entry Forbidden!) read the warning in black letters. The pair hurried across town to the Cathedral, only to find that it too had been closed. Did the Gennan people not understand what was going on? Were they in denial? Today. Marianne says that was not the case. "At first,~ she says, "people were just ignorant. When people disappeared, we were told they were going away for a brief time to a lovely camp and'would be back in a few weeks." Later, she says, as Hitler:S plan became more apparent, ignorance was replaced by fear. "If you were seen as opposmg the Nazis," Marianne says, "everyone knew that they would not hesitate' to arrest you and your famUy. or even kill you." The campaign against the Catholic Church had begun years before that day the · church was closed. Anna was everal themes recur in Marianne's story of "Anna's" youth: Her mother's faith and determination to do right; the government's gradual campaign to eliminate all religion; the growing dangers for anyone who did not appear to support Hitler with enough enthusiasm; the coming of war with all its hardships; and, at the same time, the efforts of a loving, talented young girl to taste some of the joys of a normal childhood. ~ ' - 16 I \'[>'.\'/ [) oil{ { " ' olfi.llc·sh "''I I \' f>',\'.

One day she went to sec the nun and instead saw trucks carting off the beds from the orphanage. The orphans and the Sisters were gone. She was told by an impatient young man with a swastika arm band to go home, that they had been "moved to another location, in the Black Forest, l believe." "We would play on the orphanage playground a lot," Marianne recalls. "And the rectory was right there, so we could run and talk to the priests whenever we wanted. But suddenly they were invisible. Believe me, the priests who would not support the Nazis had a very hard time." Even with the churches closed, Annas mother was determined to keep the faith. Ux:hing the doors to Gods house brought out an anger Anna had not seen in her mothe1: "J11cy cannot stop usfmm praying." Annas mother contended. She swiftly draped tlteir dining-room mpboarrlwith a delicate linen runner "Our statue of the Blessed Moti1Cr and tlut~e white candles will SCIVe as our temporary altar," she announced. Anna knew that her mother acted on her \V01tls as she knelt daily infmnt of their new alta~; and eaclt Sunday morning she lit tltrce candles. On Sundays mother and daughter would also take walks through the nearby meadows. "They cannot refuse worship· ping out in Gods nature," her mother said. 'The trees are budding, the b1rds are singing! Don't you see? This is Gods greetihg card! We do not need to look far to see his signs." As the German dominance in the war began to erode, the city experienced blackouts and frequent bombings from Allied forces. In the winter, Annas mother and grandmother would take a cart to the forest to gather firewood. The end of the war brought incredible destruction to Germany, but a sense of liberation to Anna and her mother. Sister Renate had survived, Anna discovered, although her time in a concentration camp had left the nun very ill. And one night in 1946 at 2 a.m., Guenter knocked on the door of the family apartment. He haq been captured by Russians and spent much of tlJe war in a Siberian labor camp. He returned suffering what today would be labeled post-traumatic stress syndrome. In the ensuing weeks, his famil~ lovingly nursed him back to health. • Anna never learned the identity or whereabouts of her father. Her mother passed away in 1986, her brother in 1993. One might think that growing up in wartime Germany would qualify as the mOSL difficult time of Marianne$ life. It wasn't Today Marianne calls the breakup of a 17-year marriage to "the love of my life" as a time "I really didn't know if l would survive." By then she had been living in the U.S. for decades, and had been a successful realtor in Atlanta and Raleigh. She was a member of St. Michael the Archangel Parish in Cary. "l asked Fr. Charlie Mulholland what I should do, and he said, 'Find someone who is worse off than you.' I told him, 'l don't know if there is anyone worse orrthats how low I was - but l started helping out at the parish kitchen on Bingo nights." It was at this point in her life, though, that Marianne experienced what she calls today "a kind of miracle." She discovered the Bible. She joined a Bible Study Fel\owhip (BSF) group in Cary. BSF is an international, interdenominational program for lay people devoted to structured Bible study. ln a cycle of seven years of weekly meeting:;, the group covers the entire Bible. Marianne took the course twice, going every Monday night for fourteen years. The effect of Scripture on her life was dramatic. "My mothers faith was such a blessing.~ she says. "Growing up, I knew about God. But after reading the Bible l felt I hncwGod." Marianne went on to share her knowledge by teaching Bible studies at St. Michael and later, when she retired to Oak Island, at Sacred Heart in Southport. Today she setves as a Eucharistic Minister and a Lector at Sacred Heart, and is active in the parish Meals on Wheels program. • And, as she writes of Anna, "her passion to study the Bible, her love and hunger to know the Person her mother referred to so reverently as 'Herr jesus,' continue to increase." ~ The Board of Trustees, Adm nh CARDINAL SALUTE THE GRADU Cardinal Gibbons High School is a college prep cAR o IN A L ne Most Reverend Michael F.

NC Catholic~ 20 July/August 2010 Iwww.DiocaaeofRaleigh.org Iwww.NCCatholica.org / T he Church recently- on july third - celebrated the feast of a saint whose name I share: St. Thomas the Apostle. What most of us remember about St. Thomas is, when told that jesus had risen from the dead, he did not believe. Only by examining the wounds of Christ would he be convinced. jesus appeared to St. Thomas a week later and invited the Apostle to touch hts wounds. St. Thomas' response was, "My Lord and My God!" Then jesus said , "Blessed arc those who have not seen and have believed." But after his repentance, St. Thomas became a great evangelizer. He did what no other Apostle did. preaching the Word not just in the regton of the Holy Land and Eu~ rope, but, according to tradition, traveling to Asia, to the land that today we call India. In the Middle Ages, when Catholics from Europe went to India, they were amazed to find Christians there. It is said that St. Thomas arrived on the Coas t of Malabar in A.D. 52. He is believed to have established at least seven Christian Communllics. He then moved across land to the Coromandel Coast. He was martyred near Madras in A.D 72. For twenty centuries the people he is credited with converung and their descendants have comprised the St. Thomas Christians of Kerala, India; some of them eventually became what is known today as the Syro-Malabar and the Syro-Malankara Catholic Churches. There are now St. Thomas Christians in the Diocese of Raleigh. A number of these Catholic brothers and sisters of ours live in the Triangle area, not a few around Bahama, north of Durham. The Lourdes Matha SyroMalabar Catholic Church is in Durham. A Bishop of the Syro-Malabar Eparchy of Chicago and some priests of this Church regularly come to Raleigh to celebrate the Divine Liturgy. There are also Latin Rite Catholics from Kerala who come to worship at the Ca· thedral of the Sacred Heart in Raleigh. - Msgr. lladdrn i ermanos y hermanas en Cristo: Son muchlsimos los esfuerzos evangelizadores que se desarrollan en nuestra Di6cesis de Raleigh con Ia Pastoral Hispana. Durante los ultimos meses tuvimos el segundo Taller de Lectio Divina ofrccido por los hcrmanos del CELAM y las SBU para un total de 205 nuevos lcctionaul:ls.

El Retiro Annal con Lideres Hispanos en Avila sobre Ia Sant!sima Trinidad , fue acompanado por el P. Chesco Garcia a\ que asistieron 57 participantes de nuestra Di6cesis. Cabe mencionar q ue junto con la Oficina de Lay Ministry y Ia Universidad de Loyola hemos iniciado el Programa Pila to de Formacion Teol6gica conocido como LIMEX en espaiiol con 14 participantes.

Ellema fue: "Analizando nuestra realidad juvenil" desde las Conclusiones del Primer Encuentro Nacional de Pastoral j uvenil Hispana en Est ados Unidos. Se como con Ia presencia de algunos miembros del Catholic Center y de nuestro Obispo Michael F. Burbidge quien presidio Ia Santa Misa y recibi6 el documento conclusivo del Encuentro. Este documento contiene las mayores Necesidades, Aspiraciones y Compromisos de \osj6venes Adolescentes y j 6venes Adultos de Ia Oiocesis de Raleigh.

Algunos individuos graciosamente dec!an que este trabajo me habia preparndo pam ser Obispo- con muchas "decisiones diffciles y r.ipidas" sin que no todos estuvieran de acuerdo contigo! Hemos aprcndido mas sobre el mundo del arbitro en Ia amplia difusi6n de Ia historia de una Hamada err6nea que recientemente le cost6 a un lanzador Ia emocr6n de lanzar un ')uego perfecto•. El2 de junio, faltando un "oUL" en Ia pane baja de Ia novena entrada, una pelota baja fue bateada. Ellanzador de los Tigres de Detroit, Armando Galarraga, cubriola pnmern base. El corredor fue claramente ~outa . Sin embargo, el :irbitro, jrmjoyce declare at corredor "safe". Debido al error, Annando Galarraga no aparecern en los libros de rcg1stro como unos de los lanzadores del numero selecto que han lanzado un JUcgo perfecto. Micntras que esto fue un lamentable suceso en los dcpones, las respuestas del :irbitro y ellanzador han propordonado lecciones valiosas sobre Ia rnancra de manejar Ia adversidad. Despues de que Ia decision fue hecha y sabiendo las consecucncias, el lanzador simplemente sontio y continuo con el j uego sin una muestra de enojo. Despues del juego y tras ver Ia cinta de video, el :irbitro humHdemente reconoci6 el error. De hecho, pidi6 reunirse con ellanzador en el club para pedir una disculpa sincera. Ellanzador le recorda at :irbitro que nadie es "perfecto." En el juego del dia siguiente, el arbitro y lanzador se reunieron en el campo y mostrnron deponividad, clase, respeto y profesionalismo. Su ejemplo hablo fuenemente - a todos los jugadores, entrenadores, :irbitros y fan:iticos - de Ia perspcctiva necesaria que debemos rnantener.

Ya que a veces es dificil de aceptar, debemos damos cuenta que nad1e es ''perfecto.~ Cometemos errores y hacemos malos juicios. Pecamos y fallamos. Para poder crecer en nuestro vida espiritual, no debemos de perder tiempo o energfa inventando "excusas". Para estar vetdadernmente reconciliados, debcmos reconocer nuestros pecados, expresar nuestro pesar y pcdir perd6n. La Buena Nueva es que Nuestro Senor jesus nos abrnza en su infinita misericordia y amor. Que bcndecidos somos al poder experimentar estos clones espccmlmente en el Sacramento de Ia Eucaristla y Ia Reconciliaci6n. Del mismo modo, tambien debcmos de admitir que le hemos fallado a otros. Descubrimos Ia verdadern libenad simplemente cuando reconocemos nuestros errores y ofrecemos una disculpa sincern al que hemos ofendido con nuestrns palabras o actos. A su vez, no debemos espcrnr que nadie sea "perfecto." Debemos siempre estar dispuestos y preparndos para aceptar cualquier disculpa que otros tengan que ofrecemos para que juntos podamos empezar de nuevo. El :irbitro declar6 que habfa estado por m:is de veinte anos en esta profesi6n y que en todo ese tiempo nadie lo conocia. Ahorra debido a un error, es el arbitro mas reconocible en el depone. Desde entonces, entrenadores y directores se han tornado el tiempo para ofrecer elogios y estimulo por su buen trnbajo a lo largo de los anos. En nuestrns propias vidas, podemos facilmente enfocamos en lo que hemos hecho mal y que pudo haber enriquecido mi vida con Ia tuya. Mi Pequelio,john Peter, hoy s6lo puedo pedine que me perdones, como Jcslls y Dios lo han hecho. Que descanses en los brazos de Dios. Papa". Las profundas cicatrices emocionales en nuestrns limttaciones o por alguna decision equivocada. Sin embargo, el crecimrento en nuestro vida espintual demanda que a diario demos gracias por las diferentes manerns en que Dios nos usa como Su instrumento y trnbaja a traves de nosotros. Celebre lo que usted ha logrado con Ia gracia de Dios y nunca oh~de las maneras milagrosas que el Sei'lor lo ha utilizado y continua utiliz:indolo como Su instrumento cada dfa. De Ia misrna manera, levantate y anima a aquellos que no pueden ver las bendiciones del Senor en este uempo, especialmente a aquellos quienes se encuentren abrurnados por alglln reciente frncaso o dificultad. La decision que ptiva a un lanzador para un juego perfecto nos recuetda que el mundo del depone a menudo puede enseflar algunas lecdones valiosas en Ia vida yen nuestro jomada espiritual. Debemos ornr diariamente por Ia gracia para que rnamengamos nuestras prioridades a fin de demostrnr cl espltitu deponivo dentro y fuern del campo, para renejar Ia clase y el respcto en nuestras relaciones con otros, para reconocer nuestrns fallas, para dis(:ulparse cuando sea necesario, para perdonar a aquellos que nos han lastimado, para celebrnr nuestros logros y apoyar a aquellos en media de nosotros que se encuentran en una gran necesidad de animo.

Marla Elena Rudrlr:uc:(\\w": ncbccmcr nrr:l Un recieme escindalo en tomo a john Edwards, e.-.: Scnador de Carolina del None )' candtdato presidenctal, puso de relie\'e este problema. El senor Edwards acept6 publicameme habcr tenido una rclacion extramarital con Rielle Hunter en el \'erano de 2008, unos meses despues de haber abandonado Ia campana presidencial. Sin embargo, aun despues de admllir dicha rclaci6n, e\ neg<~ba ser el padre de Quinn, Ia bebe de Ia senora Hunter, hasta enero de 2010, cuando finalmente reconoci6 serlo. Un antiguo asistcnte del Sr. Edwards acaba de publicar un libro dondc revela Ia forma en que este trat6 de presionar a Ia Sra. Hunter para que abonara. Sobre esta situacion, Ia comentarista Jill Stanek exprcso lo siguiente: ''Afonunadamcme Ia Sra. Hunter no sucumbio al intento coercitivo del tipico c.,:plotador 5C}I.'Ual y hombre trresponsable que abona a su propio hijo. Por supuesto que el Sr. Edwards es pro abono, que como podemos damos cuenta, es e)o..traordinariameme conveniente para los varones. El estaba presto a sacrificar a su propia hija por conveniencia politica y JXrsonal". Las conductas extramaritales como las del Sr. Edwards nos permiten ver como el abono legalizado produce el efecto claro y pronunciado de favorecer Ia infidclidad 5C}I.'Ual a\ drecer "protcccion" a\ hombre, induciendolo a Ia irresponsabilidad y haciendolo mcnos capaz de hacersc cargo de las consecucncias de sus dccisiones personales. El abono legalizado facilita a\ \'aron el justificar y obtcner libcninaje 5C}I.'Ual. El abono lastima a\ hombre tambicn en otras formas mas directas. El hecho de que en Estados Unidos se realizan diariamente mas de 3000 abonos significa que cada dla alrededor de 3000 hombres pierdcn un hijo o una hija mediante el abono. Algunos de cstos hombres quizi alicntan o presionan a sus parejas para que abonen; otros tal vez se resisten con firmeza; otros quizi ni se enteron de su patcmidad sino hasta despues del abono. Lo que noes muy conocido cs que los vnroncs pueden sufrir y de hecho sufren cmocional y cspiritualmente por esta perdida. Tam poco cs comtln, hay que rcconocerlo, que se motive a los hombres a exteriorizar sus cmociones sabre este problema, ya sea alivio, sufrimiento, enojo o resentimiento. Sin embargo, a mcdida que han cstado surgiendo en los ultimos anos ministerios de sanacion post abono tales como Rachel's Vineyard, mas mujeres y sus esposos o parejas se cst:in acercando a ellos en busca de ayuda para sobrellevar los efcctos del abono. Cada vez mas hombres lamentan habcr panicipado en un abono y ya diversos sitios en internet estan incluyendo testimonios de varoncs que han perdido un hebe por abono (por ejemplo rachelS\~neyard.org o priestsrorlire.org). Muchos de estos tcstimonios son conmovcdores, crudos y dolorosamente honestos. Phil McCombs, cscritor del Washington Post public6 en cste periodico un anlculo en 1995, donde relata sus propias batallas post abono: "Me siento como un asesino, aunque no quiero decir con esto que culpo a otros de serlo o que pienso que tambien son asesinos. Es s6lo como yo me siento, y ninguna radonalizaci6n en el mundo ha logrado cambiar este sentimiento. Todavia hoy sufro por el pequeno Thomas. Es como un oceano de sufrimiemo.

Primero: Ui disponibilidad de los jovenes pam participar en este 5to. Encuentro Segundo: Ui panicipaci6n de nuestro Obispo Michael Burbidge en el proceso de reflexion y consulta y su apenum a escuchar las necesidades de los j6venes hispanos. Tercero: El compromise de nuestro obispo con los j6venes hispanos de apoyar las actividades de Ia pastoral juvenil. lReglonalmente. cuales eran los mas grandes retos que enfrentan los mlnlsterios de jovenes adultos hispanos y j6venes adolescentes hispanos? Primero que nada uno de los mas grandcs retos a nivcl regional sin duda fue, que cada dfa hay menos gente disponible pam trabajar con los jovenes. Ui faita de lfderes hispanos que quiemn trabajar con Ia juventud. Cada dfa hay rruis obstaculos pam que los j6venes hispanos se acerquen a las actividades de Ia iglcsia debido a Ia situad6n migratoria. Cada afto hay mas adolescentes graduandose de Ia High School que no pueden seguir sus estudios debido a su estatus migratotio. lOue es lo que mas atrae a los jovenes hlspanos a vi· vir su fe? Que es to que hace que apreclen mas su fe? Que es lo que creen que Ia Iglesia \es ofrece? Los jovenes se acercan a vivir su fe, cuando encuentmn su identidad despues de un verdadero proceso de imegraci6n. Cuando los j6venes ya saben en que plano se encuentmn y su autoestima de fonalece, ellos mismos adquieren el compromise de crecer en Ia fe dentro de un mundo de tentaciones. Los jovenes cuando encuentran el camino correcto y definen sus personalidades, creen positivamente en Ia iglesia. Ellos mismos entienden que son Ia Iglesia y que tienen que tmbajar duro pam hacerla pane de sus vidas. lQulenes con los jovenes Adolescentes? Son enos lnmlgrantes recientes o 2da. Generaclon? Un gran numero de j6venes adolescentes estan aquf por que sus padres los trajeron a este pafs siendo niftos. Otro gran numero de j6venes ya nacieron aqui y empiezan ser Ia segunda genemci6n de padres inmigrantes. En nuestra Di6ccsis casi un 70% de los cat6\icos hispanos son jovenes menores de 25 anos. Algunas veces hemos escuchado que Ia cultura secular en los Estados Unldos es algo sorpresivo para los lnmlgrantes, especlalmente por dafiar a las famllas. Es esto cierto? Una de las causas de Ia desintegraci6n familiar y el distanciamiento entre padres e hijos es el matetialismo. Nuestra geme viene con un gran deseo de supemci6n econ6mica yen Iugar de ayudar a Ia integraci6n familiar estas resultan descuidando a los hijos ya que un gran numero de padres se concemran solo en el trabajo. Los j6vencs se encuentran en una desorientaci6n en ' cuanto a los valores y los principios que guiaran sus vidas en el futuro. Elllamado sueno americana pasa a ser una prioridad y los hijos pasan a ser Ia ultima priotidad y solo hasta que los hijos pasan a ser un problema los padres se quieren enfocar en ellos yen muchas de las ocasiones les resulta muy dif!cil volver a ganarse Ia confianza de los hijos. La cultura del sexo casual es cada vez mas fuene y los medios de comunicaci6n pasan a ser una pane importante pam los jovenes olvidandose de los estudios y de Ia superacion personal. l EI documento que se le entrego al Obispo, viene del proceso Naclonal y Regional y ahara Dlocesano. Cuales son los sigulentes pasos? Como va a ser uti\lzado en las parroqulas? En efecto, el documento de las Neccsidades, Aspiraciones y Compromises de los jovenes adultos y los jovenes adolescentes que se le entrego a\ Sr. Obispo cs un extmcto del Documento de las Conclusiones del Primer Encuentro Nacional de Pastora\Juvenil Hispana que se realize en el 2006. En e\ Congreso Regional del Sureste que se llevo acabo en Orlando Florida en e\ mes de abril2010, se escogieron en las tres categorfas en esc nivel y se entregaron a SEPI (South East Pastomllnstitute). Los jovenes de nuestra Di6cesis escogieron entre muchas posibilidades las dos mas apremiantes en las tres diferentes categortas. y Se entregaron a\ final de Ia misa a nuestro Obispo Burbidge. Ahora los siguientes pasos son seguir con e1 analisis a nivel de los decanatos y posteriormente a nivel parrnquial. El ultimo paso dentro de esto proceso es e\abomr un Plan Pastoral Para Ia Pastomljuvenil Hispana y encamarlo en Ia realidad juvenil parroquial de Ia Di6cesis de Raleigh junto con las oficinas Diocesanas de Hispanic Youth Ministry y Pastom\juvenil, Youth Ministry y Young Adult Ministry. Cual es el significado de Ia Red de Pesca? Y que es to que ha significado darle una plaza de Ia red a\ Obispo? En c1 Logotipo del V Encuemro encontmmn un significado muy importante. El significado de Ia Red entre otros signos que se usaron en el V Encuentro, es el de que los jovenes estan lanzando las redes como jesus invita a Pedro a timr las redes mar adentro. "Mar adentro" o sea mas alia de Ia oril\a, alia donde estan todos los jovenes de nuestra Iglesia, alejados, disctiminados, rechazados. Una vez que Pedro accede a lanzar Ia red, sucede e1 milagro, Ia red se llena de peces y todos dan gracias a Dios.

Una pieza de Ia Red es entregada al Obispo para recordarle que el tambien es parte del equipo de pescadores de hombres y le pedimos que siempre recuerde que contamos con su apoyo. cl) local news Burlington Parish Breaks Ground for Larger Church II+ On Friday evening, June 11, Blessed Sacrament Parish in Burlington held a groundbreaking ceremony at the site of its future church. The present church, which seats 400, was dedicated in 19 71. Since then, the number of families in the parish has more than tripled. Construction on the new church will begin immediately, with a target date of completion in 2011. The new church will have a capacity of 1,200. In attendance at the ceremony, along with Fr. Robert Benko, OFM Conv., Pastor of Blessed Sacrament, and the other friars residing in Burl- ington and many parishioners, was the Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge, who blessed the grounds where the new church will be built. The parish traces its origins back to 1901, beginning as a Catholic mission. The first church building was constructed in 1935, along with a school that opened that year with an enrollment of 25 students in grades kindergarten through sixth grade. Today, Blessed Sacrament School has an enrollment of 21 0. Earlier in the day, prior to the groundbreaking, Bishop Burbidge celebrated Mass at the graduation of 19 eighth graders from Blessed Sacrament school, now marking its 75th anniversary.

Continues Study of Catholic' Jewish Relations Ji+ Mark DelaRosa, a teacher of lheol· ogy and Catholic History at Cardinal Gibbons High School, will be spending a week during the month of July in Israel as a participant in the Bearing Witness Advanced Program for studying the Holocaust and the history of anti·Semitism. Mr. DelaRosa, who studied last summer in Washington, D.C. at the Bearing Witness Regional program, was among 20 men and women chosen for the Advanced Program by the Jewish Anti· Defamation League (ADL) in partnership with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), National Catholic Education Association (NCEA), the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. The Bearing WrtnessTiol Program is a professional development opportunity for Catholic school educators, created in 1996 by the ADL Its purpose is to provide Catholic school educators with the training and resources necessary to teach their students about the historical relationship between Jewish and Catholic communities and the impact of that rela, tionship on Catholic teaching, catechesis and liturgy. Participants in the program explore the history of anti-Semitism, from biblical times to the modem day. Themes include the role of the Church during the Holocaust, recent changes in Catholic teachings on Jews and Judaism, issues of prejudice and genocide in contemporary society and practical strategies for teaching students about the Holocaust and anti- Semitism. Mr. DelaRosa has already used his studies to enrich CGHS students both in and out of class. In the 2009-1 0 year he taught several sessions in the Holocaust Uterature course offered to juniors and seniors. "It's an English course,~ the theology teacher explained, "but it was great to be invited to offer some perspectives, perhaps some spiritual lessons. The Bearing witness program provided us with taped interviews with Holocaust sur· vivors and bystanders, and those were powerful for students. We ask, 'Where do we see things like the Holocaust happening in the world today?'" Asked about the most important lesson students could learn from studying the Holocaust, Mr. DeLaRosa said, "The Rabbis talk about 'two deaths: The first one, of course, is the death of the body. But the second one is sadder: It's when you are forgotten:' In class Mr. DeLaRosa asked students in pairs to tell each other their parents' names. Then he asked them to name their grandparents. "By the time I asked them to name their great-grandparents," he recalls, "there was very little talking in the room. Many of the students didn't know their great· grandparents' names. "Talking about the Holocaust is difficult, but in talking about it we remember; and that's what the survivors hope for, not to suffer that second death~ Each year a group of CGHS students travels to Washington, D.C. for the national Right to Ufe Man::h. The group always visits the U.S. Holocaust Memori· al Museum and Mr. DelaRosa, because of his training there, is able to give the students an in-depth tour. "Do you know what the most valuable artifact in the Museum is?" he asks. "It's a milk jug. In Warsaw, Poland, Jews would put notes documenting their lives in a milk jug and when it was full they would bury it Only fiVe have been unearthed, and one is at the Museum~ Bearing WltnessTiol Advanced, initiated in 2005, allows graduates of regional Bearing Witness Programs the opportu· nity to extend their learning, and includes a trip to Israel where participants hear from resident scholars and are afforded the chance to visit sites sacred to Jews and Christians. Educators visit Yad Vashem (Israel's offiCial memorial to the Holocaust) and hear from religious and government leaders including the Papal Nuncio, the head of the Catholic commu· nity in Israel, kibbutz members, an Arab Affairs Correspondent from the Jerusa· lem Post and the Director of the Interfaith Encounter Association. The realities of daily life are brought home with visits to the security fence and the Golan Heights. Mr. DeLaRosa, whose degree is in Hebrew, is "fascinated by Christian and Jewish differences in the interpretation of Scripture~ He particularly looks forward to seeing the holy places of Jerusalem, "to walking where Jesus walked,~ and to visiting Yad Vashem. "I asked someone who had been there if there was a differ· ence between the museum in Israel and the one in Washington," he said. ''And she said there's a huge difference. The one in the U.S. tries to recreate the ex· perience of the Holocaust, to put visitors there in a vivid way- you come away feeling, well, awful. "Yad Vashem does that too, I'm told, but it's also a lot more hopeful. It has a huge garden and a room with millions of candles. There's a feeling not just of the past, but of the future, a determination to continue. "So I'm very excited about the trip," he says, "but even more I'm excited to bring back as much as I can to the Cardinal Gibbons community.' things to do: Vocations Prayer Group for Women, July 17, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. at Sacred Heart Cathedral, 21 9 Edenton Street, Raleigh, N.C. 27603.

The window dedicated to the African manyr St. Charles Lwanga proclaims that St. Ann began as a black parish. In 1934, three Arrican American families began meeting to discuss the situation at the local church, St. Patrick, where a black and gold sign reading "Colored Catholics Sit Here" told blacks where they could - and could not -worship. The group grew, and in 1939 decided to fonn its own parish. Another window is dedicated to St. Jude, ~saint of the impossible," whom the group took as their patron. Pictured in the St. jude window arc an old-style barber pole, hair scissors and a comb and handpowered clippers. In 1939, Franklin McKay, a barber and member of the group, offered his shop as a ,_ r-C Curl1ullu the Diocese of church. With the pennission of Bishop Eugenej. McGuinness, the group worshipped in Macks Barber Shop from 1939-40. On the feast of Sl. jude in 1939, the group also got a pastor, Fr. William Ryan, O.M.I. (Oblates of Mary Immaculate), from Boston, Mass. The Oblates would serve the parish until1994. And it was the death of a young Oblate priest in Boston that led to the parish getting a church. On learning of the sad event, the congregation raised money for a memorial. But the Bishop of Boston returned the money to Bishop McGuinness, who directed it to the building of a new church. When the church was dedicated in 1940, the parish was named St Ann after the departed Raleigh StAnn, Fayetteville 365 North Cool Spring Street Fayetteville, NO 28301-5137 910.483.3216 30 j~h·!Augusl 2010 I www.DioceseoiRaleigh.org I www.NCCalholics.org priests parish in Massachusetts. By the 1950s, St Ann needed a school. It was C}.pcctcd that black children would attend St Ann, while white children would attend SL. Patrick. But St. Patrick was full, and there were plenty of whites who wanted a Catholic education for their children. So they came to St. Ann, making it when it opened in 1956 one of the first integrated schools in North Carolina. Sisters of Providence were the first to serve in the school, followed by the Daughters of Charity. who served until two years ago. More than a half century later, after two expansions, St. Anns prc-K-8 school is going strong, with 180 students and an alumna as its principal. The 1940 church with its instructive windows is now chapel to a beautiful, lightfilled church building that accommodates 500. Notable among the parishs many outreach efforts is the St. Ann Neighborhood Youth Center, where 30-50 public school students arc bused in Monday through Thursday afternoons for academic tutoring. The students arc also fed and bused back to their homes afterwards. There is no charge to the students; the program depends on donations. St. Anns middle school students learn service by donating time to the center. Fr. Thomas Malloy, O.S.F.S., in his tenth year as Pastor, characterizes his parish as "welcoming.~ The parish is also multicultural: Fr. Malloy said there arc some 55 different ethnic groups among St. Anns 450 families. Many parishioners arc members of the military from nearby Ft. Bragg. Thriving and vibrant, the church initiated under the patronage of the "saint of the impossible" is now anticipating its Diamond jubilee. 1J Harold and Jean Luppens - _LiJ)& £/ • t; The Overlook at Pine Knoll ~~ II Living in a Catholic-based community has always been very important to us. Having a chapel that offers daily Mass in the same building as our apartment is a blessing. We can simply go downstairs to receive the Holy Eucharist daily. It is a special gift to have it all here at Pine Knoll. II • II We had done our research touring eight other communities, but the moment we entered the front gates at Belle Meade we thought, 'Wow! This is it!' The fact that Belle Meade is also a Catholic· based community was an unexpected bonus. We have everything we could want at Belle Meade. We can be as busy or as idle as we wish.
