Shannon's Hope A 'gift of love' that rose from ashes of tragedy

By Patricia Hillyer Register Stall

" Welcome to Shannon's Hope - home of refuge and love as you await the birth of one of God's precious lltlle lambs ..

These words are inscribed on a small white card attached to a C'Uddly stuffed lamb that 1s presented to each expectant mother who comes to the home to find shelter Cor herself and her unborn child.

It as there that emotional support and practacal assistance are generously supplied to homeless mothers­to-be who have made the choice to carrv their babies to term rather than aborhng them. ·

Shannon·s Hope 1s not the usual agenc), supported maternity home. Rather. at 1s a "gift or love" that rose out of the ashes of tragedy 11 years ago

It was 11 year ago that its co-founder. Leslie Colhns­Hart had an aborllon that left her deeply scarred spiritually psychologically and physically

" They don"t begin to tell you all or the terrible aftereffects of an abortion.' she said "l suffered every­thing from guilt. rage and su1c1dal impulses to shock and physical impairment."

In a soft voice cracking with emotion. Colhns-Hart described the circumstances of her abortion A cradle Catholic who had always felt a deep attachment to the Church. she was a married mother or three children when she experienced an abortion

After she became pregnant with her fourth child. she was forced to make a crillcal choice by her husband. who told her. "Either get an abortion or lose me'" Terrified

··Al the time I was terrified and confused •• she said " After agonizing for a long lime. I rationalized that 1t would be better Cor my three children to have both a father and mother than to deny them that right 1n favor of Cour fatherless children."

Collins-Hart v1v1dl> recalls the day or her abortion -the lines of beds with women " like caltlt> waiting for the slaughter,'' a last-minute change-of-mind that the doctor ignored and. finally, the tragic aftermath

She was deva~tated bv the death of her child but insisted On having It baptized

··1 had to at least do that .. she ~aid "I called 10 priests before one would come and baptize the baby The first one I called told me dt gustedly that I wa excom• municated" Memory of Shannon

It was in memor) of the aborted ch1h" Colhn -Hart had named Shannon. that a hfe-sa\1ng maternlt) home called Shannon's Hope was born

"Ironically," Colhns-Hart added. ·•my husband left the family anyway •

Colhn -Hart ,;truggled valiantly for many yt>ars to heal the traumatic pain of the abortion

·It was through God that I round my way.'' she ~•d humbly.

Todav. he I remarried, the mother of five children and thrtt stepchildren and I an 1nrnlved member of Spmt of Christ Pan,;h in Arvada Maternity home

Three years ago. Colian •Hart began toying with the idea of elltabh,;h1nl( a maternity home for un heltered pregnant women

So many women are reJected when they become prt>~nant • she explained " Parents throw out their daughters. husband and boyfriend:.- abandon their part• neri; Women are often stranded. totally alone, confused. frightened That 1s when they are most vulnerable to acct>phng an abortion "

" It was for tho e women that I thought of providing a hou e of hope I know 1t was re lly God leading me." he qid.

The Denver Catholic Register, Wed., April 24, 1985 - Page 3

Leslie Collins-Hart, cofoundff of Shannon'• Hope

After one and a half years of plaMing, working. begging, and salvaging everything 1mag1nable w1th co­founder Arlys Joann Martin or St Peter and Paul s Parish. the doors of Shannon's Hope opened an December 1984 Within the older comfortable house there 1s room Cor nine expectant mothers and private quarters for house parents Coordinates activities

Collins-Hart coordinates the multitude of activities at the home as a part-lime director " who often puts an 60 hours a week," she laughed

Shannon's Hope offers a well-rounded program that nourishes the mmds body. soul. and emotions of each of its residents whose ages may vary anywhere between 16 and menopause

While at the home. the women pursue employment. education or vocauonal training. They also learn such skill as budgeting. nutr1llon. child care. grooming. cook• 1ng, ewing, social slull and mo t 1mportantl) said Colhns - Hart, "that the Lord 1'.'! the way "

The women's medical needs are met and all res1den1-. are required to attend weekly coun eling ~e~ ions

It I!'- the 30 generou voluntttrs that enable the myriad of act1v1t1e to O('CUr at Shannon's Hope. Colhns­Hart pointed out Dependency cycle

" Most of the womt>n who come here ha\e de\eloped a deepset dependency cycle,'' Colhns-Hart said, who has a background m counseling and '-OC1al work " Wt> do ever)thmg we can to help g1\e them elf-e. lttm so that

• the) ma) break lhat cycle When the) leav~ here we hope they wall be mdependt>nt. productive, caring members of society

Collms-Hart s~ud thert> 1s no "religious trap put on the women . but we do lr) to brmg Christ to them through non•Judgmental loving and caring They know the reason that this place exists as because or Jesus Christ, and 1f thev wish, thev have everv chanl·e to e tabhsh rela• ttonsh1p with Him .. •

Being able to share her exper1t>nce of an abortion ha. proved a valuable a'l&et to Colhns,Hart at Shannon's Hope.

"Some times the women who come here have not yet madt> up their mind about an abortion I'm able to talk to them with hon ty and understandmR becau e I 've b«-en

there," she said 'That makes what I say more credible " Choose abortion

However, Collins-Hart said we don t win them all, some of them choose to have an abortion. and. or course. when they make that dec1s1on they must leave We're here to save lives:·

When Shannon's Hope was 1mttated. there were enou51:h savings of one-lime donations to enable 1t to open its doors and runctton for the first three months

Now. that money has been used and Shannon' s Hope 1s desperately seeking funds to remain anoat " It takes $1800 a month for a bare bones budget. ·· Collins-Hart explained " We don't have enough money to pay the rent after this month ··

Collin. -Hart said that what was needed 1s "on-going contributions that we can count on every month "

She also cited the need for babv furniture, babv l o'tung a large dmmg room set, and <.everal other pecif1c needs

Like to do "What we would al~ hke to do · she said cheerfully

" 1 estabh h another home Just hke Shannon's Hope to help more of the countless women who call for as­'.'!1stance. If we had another house, we could rill 1t up tomorrow"

l nlll more space as ava1lab1e Shannon's Hope has • dopted a " shepherding" plan ,i,,hereby a homele ex­pectant mother as placed in a private home 1f no beds are available at Shannon's Hope.

" Thank. to the Lord. we've always found a place for e\en woman needing one," he said " but I don't know how long that will continue to happen ••

Collins-Hart 1s convinced that many pregnant women would abandon the idea of abortion if sufficient help were available to them. Condemn abortion

" As Catholics we condemn abortion , but we don't offer lhe expt"Ct.ant mothers the needed alternatives," he u1d

~hannon' Hope not only offer an in:.pmng alter• native to abortion. but 1t al o enables women who are going through a dark l)f'rtod m their laves to begm again -hnd new life

~our children, pl_us a cat and a dog, make a lively household Catholic Charities helped make a difference in their lives

Four children ages three to 10, plus a cat and a dog make for a lively and often noisy household.

For Larry and Ann Crocker. members of St. Michael the Archangel's Parish in Auro­ra, however, they wouldn't have it any other way.

All four of the Crocker children were adopted, three through the Family and ChH­dren 's Service of Catholic Charities and one through Hand-in-Hand, an agency which places foreign-born children and works with other agencies. including Catholic Charities. on many of those adoptions.

Catholic Charities Sunday 1s May 5 when an annual collection will be held in parishes to support Catholic Charities· programs that include the adoption agency and unwed pa­rent counseling.

" We have a really good feeling about Catholic Charities.·· Ann Crocker said " They have made a big difference in our lives and have always been so supportive If we can give something back by encouraging peo­ple to give generously to Catholic Charities, we are grateful to do that."

Of the Crocker children. Lindsay, 9. was adopted in 1976 when wbe was two weeks old

Drew, now 5. was also adopted as an infant. Their third child. Ty who is 3. was born in Denver of a Chinese Cambodian refugee ram• ily and became part of the Crocker family soon after.

A new daughter. Jennifer. 10, arrived last Thanksgiving through the auspices of Hand-in-Hand A Philippine native. Jennifer had lived in a Catholic orphanage in Manila for several years.

" After we adopted Ty, we became in­terested in looking for another foreign child and we were open to adopting an older child," the Crockers explained ..

"The staff at Catholic Charities prepared us well for this adoption,·· the Crockers said. In addition to working with the couple. Catho­lie Charities also arranged for them Join a support group of fam1hes who had adopted older children.

While Catholic Charities prepared the home study. Hand-in-Hand began arrange­ments for Jennifer·s adoption The Crackers flew to the Philippines a few days before Thanksgiving to meet Jennifer and arrange to bring her home

Accounting and Finance Center and Ann. a former French teacher at Denver's East High School, both recalled the support they received each time they were in the ,.•wait­ing perioo·· before adoption of their children

Because of fewer numbers of infants available for adoption today, the average waiting period for adoptive couples from time of registration to adoption 1s a httle over three years. According to Peggy Hauser. director of the Department of Fami­ly and Childrens' Service. 60 infants and children were placed in adoptive homes in 1984. The age range was from eight years to six days did. At the end of 1984, 287 adoptive couples were waiting on a preliminary list. and another 120 were either under super• vision. approved and waiting placement or in the process of a home study.

The Crockers attended workshops spon• sored by the department that featured pres­entations from an adoptive couple. a birth mother, and adoptive children

· The workshops helped prepare us for the adoption.' Ann recalled " In addition. the staff was always available to answer our questtons and allay our concerns.''

.. A Sign of Hope.. 1s the theme of this year's Catholic Charities· Appeal.

Catholic Charities was established over 50 years ago to care for the needy and fam1-hes. Today. offices under Catholic Communi­ty Services are located m Denver. Fort Col­hns. Greeley and Loveland

In addition to the Family and Children's Service adopllon agency and unwed parent counseling. Catholic Chant1es programs in­clude emergency assistance to the poor. sen­ior citizen centers. home visits and outreach to homebound elderly and ill. foster care for neglected and abused infants and children summer camp for disadvantaged youths Hospice family and individual counseling assistance with Job placement and mdepend­ent hving for refugee fam11tes . and food , clothing, and medicine for migrants.

Fig~t over abortion bill, living will nears end Other protections she noted were that canceling life

sustaining procedures does not mean witholding nourish­ment, medicine or comfort

A compromise bill approved April 16 by the House State Affairs Committee to implement Amendment 3 1s not what pro-life supporters had hoped for but "it 1s the best we're going to get,·· s.ud Mary Gil)son, director of the Denver Archdiocese's Pro-Life Commission

Amendment 3, passed by Colorado voters Nov. 6, pro­hibits the use of public funds for abortion but allowed medical services necessary to prevent the death of the woman or the unborn child. The compromise btll outlines the implementation of the amendment.

With the passage of the compromise measure. H.B 1371 . state funds could be used to end a pregnancy when: the presence of a medical condition "other than a psychiatric condition" could be a substantial threat to the pregnant woman's life if the pregnancy goes full-term : the presence of a lethal medical condition in the unborn child would result in the death of the unborn child durng pregnancy or at birth. the presence of a psychiatric condition represents a serious and substantial threat to the life of the pregnant woman 1f the pregnancy continues to term.

" We're not pleased but is was unportant to pass (a btll) to implement Amendment 3, .. Gibson said

"Even though there are some parts we do not agree with and do not hke, there are some parts .. we do like." she added.

For example. she pointed out that in the bill the term ·unborn child" is used instead of " fetus:·

Another positive thing about the measure. Gibson said. is the stringent requirements for reporting information explaining why a physician has deemed an abortion neces­sary.

·· Asa compromise bill it's probably the best we·re going to get. and it's getting passed ... Gibson said.

The bill was expected to be heard m the Senate this week.

In other action at the State Capitol. the Senate approved a .. living will" btll April 17 that would allow adults to instruct doctors not to art1fic1ally prolong their lives

A " living will" bill passed by the House in mid-February was a " very sound bi11. ·· according to Gibson. Mt she became concerned about the Senate·s version when a preg• nant woman provision was taken out.

.. With that back in and the other kinds or protection for patients we find it an acceptable bill." she said

The provision she was rererring to voided a living will if the patient was a pregnant woman whose retus could sur­vive. ..That was an important prov1s1on for the archdiocese: • Gibson said.

The bill also 111cludes safeguards to define who can make a Jiving will , sohd prov1s1ons how the will 1s carried out and a requirement that a dying patient be made comfortable and kept free from pam

The bill allows a living will to go into effect only 1f the patient 1s unconscious or otherwise incompetent. 1s dying with no hope of recovery and 1s receiving life-sustaining treatment

.. It's taken a tong time to get this far. but we do see this as an acceptable bill that meets the guidelines of the nallonal council of bishops ·· Gibson said

The bill will now return to the House for approval or re1ect1on of the Senate·s amendments to the original House bill.

The living will issue. Gibson said. 1s of more and more concern to the older poQUlation "They don't want to be kept alive for years and years and they are frightened about that possibility ... she said ·

Lectors should 'make you sit up and listen'

By Marianne Comfort Register Staff

In Catholic churches throughout the country only about baU the lectors are doing the task, "making you sit up and hsten," acconbng to a noted author on liturgical ministry.

" I( you don't have the talent to be a good reader. you should not be reading" but serving the Church in some other way, Father Joseph Champlin told about 300 lectors gathered for the archdiocese's eighth aMual Readers Convention April 20.

"Good intentions are not enough." he explained. '"Some kind of ab1hty and talent to proclaim the word is important "

Father Champlin. VIcar for parish life and worship for the Diocese or Syracuse. NY . is also a lecturer on liturgy and pastoral theology and syndicated columnist appearing in lP Catholic papers

In his keynote address at the Readers ' Convention, Father Champlin outlined the qualities or an effective lector.

First of all. he said, the lector "needs to be aware of the dignity of this rrumstry."

No ministry is better than any other. he explained. and " each person in the Church has a right and a resporu;ibility. has a duty as well as an opportunity. to build up the Church."

The lector needs to recognize the uniqueness of his or her ministry and bring that out during the reading of the Word. Father Champlin said.

Readers also need commitment to the task, he said. '"In America today we are not a committed people,"

Father Champlin noted. " And this has some obvious ramifications for life in the Church."

The glow of serving as a Eucharistic minister or a lector wears off and after awhile the commitment falls. he said.

Just a week before. a scheduled ruder didn't show up at one Sunday Mass he was celebrating Father Cbamphn said. and " the liturgy was less because the commitment was less."

Another important characteristic is for the ledor to be a person of faith, Father Champlin said.

" Faith is that which enables us to look beyond," he said. " If you have faith as a lector then the croup or people gathered qether m the name or the Lord" can feel that in the reading.

.. And the lector who is a believer in proclaimin& the Word Is taking nourishment from the believers who are

hearing the Word," he added. "That's why it can be frustrating when you are proclaiming the Word and the people are dead."

To read effectively the lector also needs to be aware of Christ's presence in the Word. Father Champlin said.

" If Christ is present in the Word, then when the Word is proclaimed, Christ is speaking to the people - not you but Christ," he explained.

If lectors are aware of Christ's presence it affects the way they read. carry the Bible, prepare for the liturgy and the way they look on the altar. be added.

"The lector also needs to have that warm. living love for the Word of God." which can be enriched by reading Scriptures daily. Father Champlin said.

And the reader needs to be a person of prayer. he said.

If people don' t take lime alone for prayer " then we won't be able to transform our unceasing activiity and work into unceasing prayer." Father Champlin ex­plained

He noted that famed Mother Teresa of Calcutta and Father Bruce Ritter. founder of Covenant House for runaway teen-agers 111 New York City. find 1t necessary to pray and meditate at least an hour each day to strengthen them for their work with the needy.

" Ministry can be fruitful only if it grows out of direct encounter with the Lord in prayer," Father Champlin said.

He pointed out that the congregation can determine whether the reader or choir is praying the liturgy or performing by watching their behavior between the read. ings and hymns.

Blend111g a sense of awe and reverence with a sense of the warmth of community is also a necessary trait of a reader, Father Champlin said.

To enhance a sense of community. the reader rould come to the altar from the congregation and then return to the pews after proclaiming the Word, he suggested.

To enhance the transcendental. the lector needs to use symbols such as reading from the Bible instead or from the m.issalelte and to allow a few moments of silence after the readings, he added.

Lectors also nffd to affirm one another, Father Champlin said. And they should be humbly confident. aware of their weakness and God's power.

" It's God's word we're about. not our own," he explained.

And finally. lectors need to be committed to ex­cellen~. because they are " proclaiming a Word whose

(?!); R~mblings

By James Fiedler Carl Gorman

Met many v1s1tors who came tQ the open house at the Catholic Pastoral Center this past Sunday It was nice to hear that a great number of them enJoy the Denver Catholic Register, and it was even nicer when someone would say that he or she read my Ramblings column.

One visitor on Sunday told me a cousin of his had worked at the old Register, when it was at 938 Bannock St. The cousin, he informed me, is Carl Gorman. It was such a pleasure to hear that name again. I hadn't heard about Carl in some time -many years in fact.

I first met Carl Gorman after I became what was called a "make-up editor," working with the mechani·

. . cal make-up of type into pages m the composmg room. . Carl worked in the composing room, placing lead type into the page frames as indicated by an editor on a layout.

•~ many respects he was one of my instructors in handling newspaper make-up. It was certainly not done with the relative ease that's available today with offset printing. In those days we had that solid lead type to maneuver around. It wasn't as simple as using scissors or an X-acto blade as today in cutting a galley of print.

I remember so"'!etimes pleading with Carl to try to squeeze some more Imes of lead type into the page.

And usually Carl would scream out to the rest of the composing _room, "Hey. Somebody bring over the type. squeezer. Fiedler wants to squeeze a two-inch story into an inch and a half hole."

~eedless ~ ~y, there were probably some bright young men an the editorial room at the old Register who couldn't tolerate Carl's sense of humor.

. But somehow I felt Carl was trying to teach me some­thing about ~ newspalM:r business, about the composing room, about its mechanical operation - and especially about the men and women who worked there, assembling words and sentences and headlines into a form that would inspire some, educate some, inform some and even anger and disturb some.

I learned a lot from Carl Gorman and the others in the composing room at the old Register I learned, for example, how to read a page of lead type upsidedown and backwards (it's easier that way). But I also learned about machines and the men and women who use them. And I learned how limited machines really are. ~s a lot, Ca_rl. for helping to educate me. I hope you're

enJoymg your retirement. You deserve a good one.

In Touch With Teens

By Scott Ritchey

'To My Friend' Friendship. Friendship is something that caMOt be

ta~en f~r ~nted. Fri~ships are one of the most precious things m hfe, more precious than gold 9r zinc.

All of my 19-and-a-half years, I have met and been acquainted with a lot of people. I have had many friends and about a thousand acquaintances, but I have never had a friend who bas come irlt-0 my life and changed me to be a better person like Shawn McGrath.

Shawn is studying for the priesthood at Conception Seminary College In Concep­tion, Mo. He is just finishing up his second year of pre­theology there and then he will return to Colorado to

. attend St. Thomas' Semi­nary.

Last week Shawn was on spring break and he spent the week at my house and slept in my waterbed. I had to sleep on the couch. Nice guy, huh? 1bat's all right. Shawn is a great guy.

Shawn is one of those guys that when you meet him, you instantly like him. For ex-

. . ample, I took him to my boss birthday party and by the end of the evening, everyone at the party was giving him bugs, saying, ''Oh, Shawn, you are such a neat person and_you're going to be such a great priest." And he is going to be just that.

Shawn is witty, charming, sensitive and just an all­around good guy. I found all of this out last summer when I worked at Camp Santa Maria. Camp Santa Maria is spon­sored by Denver Catholic Community Services and is lo­cated just outside of Grant. I was athletic director last summer and Shawn was a counselor.

After spending six weeks with him, I learned what a good friend is all about.

This year Shawn will be back at camp but this year he will be the camp director.

Shawn said be really is excited about camp this year: "Camp is going to be a real learning experience this year. ,:ite fact that we have been working on it for such a long time, and the fact that last year was the first time we were open in two years. For the first time I thought we did preUy well. But this year we are going to be expanding our talents even more. We are going to be doing some new things, a new approach to arts and crafts, new approach to recreation programs and with some of these cllanges, we can provide an exciting, fun-filled, week-long camp for our campers."

Camp Santa Mana 1s open to 8- to 14-year-olds who want to spend one week in the ~tains. ln that week, they will learn a lot about the wilderness, about sleeping in a cabin with 10 other people and what it is like to be away from mom and dad.

The week is full of many activities, including swimming in a heated pool, boating, fishing, archery, arts and crafts, sporting events. camp fires and chapel services. And if Shawn gives the chapel service, that should be enough incentive to go Shawn's services are superb.

Camp 1s a good time and It 1s easy to make some really good friends. Until last summer I really didn' t know what a good friend was. After camp I learned that a friend is someone you can talk to, a person you can trust, a person who will accept you for what you are, not for what you are not. Shawn is the first person I can honestly say is my best friend.

Here is a card that Shawn sent to me last month. It reads "Of all the gifts that time and earth bestow. Of all the blessings that from heaven descend, There 1S none half so precious that I know as one true friend ."

Shawn ts a special guy and everyone should meet him up at camp. To sign up for camp, call 383-4411 .

Shawn McGrath, thank you for being my special friend. And thanks for spending the week with me and my family We loved having you

Ready for TEC I am sign~ up. Paid rn full. I have lhe weekend off from

News Misgivings over 'Star Wars'

Cardinal Joseph L. Bernardin of Chicago said that he has "profound misgiving" about President Reagan's ··star Wars,. defense plan.

Speaking at a "Peacemaking '85 .. conference m Colum­bia. S. Car., sponsored by South Carolina's interdenomina­tional Christian Action Council, he said bis problem with the space-based system did not stem fro the defensive obJec­tives or that plan but from its " impact. on the arms race as a whole" and from the "enormous" cost of such a system when its strategic value is ,.under severe questioning ...

He said religious leaders ought to participate in the debate over the space-based system " precisely because the appeal to moral argument is made so often regarding this weapon system."

But he argued that m making moral Judgments, "one has to test not only the intentions of a policy but also its consequences .. and that 'there 1s no simple technological solution to the dilemmas we face in the nuclear age."

Jewish group and peace pastoral The union of American Hebrew Congregations has

joined with the National Conference of Catholic Bishops to promote the bishops' 1983 pastoral letter on war and peace.

At a news conference April 15 m Washington. represent­atives of the two organizations announced plans for a nationwide program of "action and dialogue" to broaden support for the pastoral.

Eugene Fisher, executive director of the NCCB Secre­tariat for Catholic-Jewish Relations, said the two organiza­tions are working together because "peace is too important to be left in the hands of bishops alone or technicians ...

"This is the burning issue of our time,·· he said of nuclear disarmament. "Otherwise we·u all burn ...

Fisher tied the publication of the book to the 20th anniversary of "Nostra Aetate:· the Second Vatican Coun­cil's declaration of non-Christian religions. " That document made this one possible," he said.

Diocesan land for 'beach people' Voicing concern for the human dignity of homeless

families " who are forced to hve on the beach.·· Bishop Joseph A. Ferrario of Honolulu has offered them two acres of diocesan land.

The increased scarcity of affordable housing m Hawaii has forced more and more low-mcome people to camp on the beaches.

The diocesan land was originally acquired for a church, a fact the bishop found appropriate . .. We see no better way to express our devotion to the God in us all than to restore land to God's people in need," he said.

About 300 people have lived on the leeward public beaches in tents and other makeshift structures in the Waianae area.

The city and county of Honolulu had issued eviction notices ordering people to vacate the shore areas by April 15.

Two nuns who fought discrimination Pope John Paul n on April 14 beatified two nuns who

spent their li\tes batUing discrimination. In bis homily the Pope commended the nuns - Sister

Pauline von Mallinckrodt, founder of the Sisters of Christian Charity, and Sister Caterina Tro1an1. founder of the Francis­can Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary of Egypt - for their efforts " lo make social discrimination disappear.·· He also praised their work to form communities ·•capable of realizing authentic ties of friendship and fraternity."

Sister von Mallinckrodt, whose order now includes sev­eral houses m the United States, was born Ill Germany in 1817 and died there in 1881 She began her order to assist blind children and was renowned for fighting for the rights of the handicapped

Sister Troiani, who was born in Rome in 1813 and died in Egypt in 1887, went to Cairo in 1859. Her hrst work was to open a school that accepted children of all races and reUglons.

Mission aid not keeping up In 1984 U S Catholic gave more than $43.6 mil hon to the

Society for the Propagation of the Faith. That figure is more than triple the 1964 amount of $14 2

mi111on, but it is down about 8 percent when inflation over the past 20 years is taken into account.

" It looks far better 1n raw figures than 1t actually is." said James Borut, head of the society's national finance office ... We're actually behind becau~e the figures did not increase as much as the CPI (consumer price mde,rl did "

Final 'Baby Doe' rules approved HOLY LAND WASHINGTON (NC) -

The final " Baby 0oe·· regu­lations designed to protect handicapped infants from a denial of medical treatment were signed by Health and Human Services Secretary Margaret M. Heckler April 15

The regulations, devised to implement legislation passed by Congress in 1984, allow a withholding of medi­cal treatment and food from a handicapped newborn in only limited situations .

• When the baby is ir­

reversibly comatose • When the baby's death is

inevitable and treatment would only prolong dying.

Cardinal is recuperating

VATICAN CITY (NC) -Cardinal Agostino Casaroh, Vatican secretary of state, was recuperating in a Rome hospital following a suc­cessful hernia operation, a Vatican spokesman said April 15.

The 70-year-old cardinal was in good condition follow­ing the April 13 operation.

• When the treatment would be so severe and so likely to be futile that its use would be inhumane.

An appendix to the new rules stipulates that "quali­ty of life" arguments - con­tending that a child's " quali­ty of life" would be poor if he or she lived - are not to be used to deny medical care to handicapped newborns The appendix was described by HHS as an "interpretive guideline .. and " not as bind­ing rules of law."

The " Baby Doe" rules are named after a handicapped infant boy who was denied food and medical treatment in Indiana in 1982, sparking a major controversy.

A second " Baby Doe," a girl, was born in 1983 and was the subject of heated legal proceedings over treat­ment, which her parents in­itially were reluctant lo ob­tain. Eventually, the medi­cal care was provided and she went home with her pa­rents She is now 18 months old

Volunteer day Seminary recognizes Christian service

More than 70 men and women joined the St. Thomas seminary community April 17 for Mass and lunch on "Volun­teer Appreciation Day." which recognizes the thousands of hours freely given in support of the seminary mission

Vincenlian Father John Rybolt. seminary rector. told the vol~nteers. faculty and staff that .. without the dedi­cation of the many volunteers who work tirelessly at the seminary. in their homes. and at school. the work of the seminary would be indeed difficult "

The maJor1ty of the volunteers work with the develop­ment and public relations office. while others assist in the library.

Owned and operated by the Vincentian Fathers, St. Thomas· Seminary 1s not subs1d1zed by any diocese. Because room. board and tuition cover only 30 percent of the actual cost of trammg and educating a seminarian, the seminary must turn to Catholics of the region for financial support.

. The total task of preparing. stuffing and mailing thousands of letters each year to catholics throughout the region falls on volunteers It is that effort which brings the seminary story into the homes of thousands of Catholics. for 1t is onJy through their generosity and sacrifice that the seminary remains financially stable.

The volunteers come from St. Vincent de Paul's. St Therese's. Good Shepherd and St. Mary's parishes. This past year, handicapped from Laradon Hall volunteered to stuff envelopes at peak periods as a means of making a contribu­tion to the outside community .

Dante VaJori. the director of Development. at St Thom­as· Seminary, said that "the entire seminary community benefits from the presence of volunteers. It is an opportunity for seminarians, faculty .tnd staff to experience tangibly the dedication of so many. giving freely in Christian service. Those wonderful men and women often participate at liturgies and other spiritual services with the students. It is easy to see why the volunteers occupy a very special place in the hearts of the seminary community - they are family.

Viewpoints ___ _ Efforts to ban genocide

By Liz S . Armstrong

WASHINGTON (NCl - In the aftermath of World War II, with the horror of the Nazi Holocaust still fresh in the minds of people around the world. the newly established United Nations adopted an international treaty banning genocide.

Many nations moved quickly to ratify it. The United States was not among them Despite repeated discussions of the issue m Congress

and the fact that 96 other countries have to agree to the treaty, the Senate has failed to approve the treaty

That may change soon. however. President Reagan, hke several of his predecessors, backs ratification of the treaty. Last fall, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee v:ited 17--0 in favor of the treaty. formally known as the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

The treaty defines genocide as any of a series of acts "committed with intent to distroy. m whole or m part. a national. ethnic, racial or religious group · ·

Five acts are specifically cited as actions against a group of people:

• Killing. • Causmg serious bodily or mental harm • Deliberately innicting conditions of life calculated to

bring about total or partial physical destruction • Imposing measures intended to prevent births. • Forcibly transferring children to another group. One of the organizations backing the anti-genocide trea­

ty at its inception was the Catholic Association for Interna­tional Peace. Individual Catholic bishops, organizations like the Catholic War Veterans and the International Union of Catholic Women's Leagues. and numerous others signed petitions supporting the treaty some 36 years ago

The U.S. Catholic Conference supports ratification of the convention today.

"It's long overdue," said Holy Cross Father William Lewers. director of the USCC Office of International Justice and Peace, in testimony last September berore the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

While various Republicans backed the treaty. Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., did not and managed to stall the measure until adjournment.

What Helms, and others before him - including former Sen. Sam Ervin, 0-NC, of Watergate fame - fou.'ld objec­tionable is a provision of the treaty giving the World Court jurisdiction in disputes relating to genocide.

As Ervin said in 1970. this would .. give an international tribunal the power to teH the president of the United States and the Congress of the United States and the courts of the United States what they have to do.·· •

A second complamt 1s that under the treaty U.S. citizens might be brought to trial in the World Court without safe­guards of the U.S. Bill of Rights.

Helms has proposed a compromise that would add to the treaty, for US. purposes. two "understandings" saying the treaty 1s not applicable to U.S domestic law and that the United States reserves the right to refuse World Court jurisdiction in domestic disputes.

Treaty backers. mcluding some Justice and State de­partments officials. say Helms· proposal is unnecessary and may raise suspicions in other nations about the U.S commit· ment to the genocide ban.

Washington Letter The World Court arguments aside. critics also dislike

the treaty for several other reasons. including these claims· • That the treaty could cover the military, raising

speculation that k11hng citizens of an enemy nation during war could be regarded as genocide

• That the rules against "prevention of births .. among a group of people could apply to normal family planning practices

• That ethnic of racial extremist groups could claim Jaw enforcement actions against them are a form of genocide. smce the Black Panthers once made such a claim about local police.

• That .. removal of children" could apply to mandatory busing of U.S. school children.

Supporters respond that the treaty is valuable for real and symbolic reasons

They admJI the convention's shortoomings. but say it is an important beginning.

"It 1s now abundantly and disappointingly clear that, despite the fact that many nations have signed . the conven­tion has failed to stop genocide.·· acknowledged Sen Rich­ard G. Lugar. R-lnd .. Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman, during hearings m March.

Yet. he added. the treaty dramatizes revulsion against massive crimes against peoples and reiterates .. a nation's , commitment to human rights. Non-ratification. our ablest diplomats tell us. puts the United States at a disadvantage when confronting other nations about human rights vio­lations."

"Certamly. ratification of the Genocide Convention would not give us the ability to right all of the world's wrongs. but it would be one step reaffirming our commit­ment to the basic rights of others.·· Sen. William Proxmire. D-Wis. a longtime treaty backer. told the Senate "We should take this step as soon as possible ··

Regulations for Communion By Father John Dietzen

Q . My question is about Communion under both forms of bread and wine. Our parish liturgy group has heard 1t 1s allowed only on Sundays. holy days. wed­dings and funerals. If 1t possible to have ti on other days also? (Ohio)

A. The regulations governmg Communion under both species for the United States are contained in the document .. This Holy and Living Sacrifice" published by the American bishops last fall with approval of the Congregation for Divine Worship .

To be honest with you. I almost hesitate to answer your question because the actual "rules·' contained there are only a tiny part of what is an unusually inspmng brief exposition of our Catholic beltef and trad1t1on about the eucharistJc sacrifice Taken out of that context the guidelines lose much of what makes them so significant

Nevertheless. the document lists more than 20 types of occasions at which Communion under both kinds is encouraged - not only allowed - at the discretion of the local bishop and with proper education of the people

Generally they include people somehow directly in­volved with Masses at which any of the saC'raments are mmistered. funerals . liturgies durmg retreats, congrega­tions present on days of special religious or c1v1I signifi­cance to people of the United States and so on

When adults are received into the Church, for exam• pie. at least they. their sponsors spouses and relatives, and those who participated in their trammg and prepara­tion may receive under both species

Question Corner

Perhaps more directly relevant to your question. not only Sunday and Holy Day Masses but also weekday Masses are listed.

Communion under both kmds 1s not permitted when circumstances make 1t difficult for this to be done with proper orderliness ,ind reverence for the Eucharist . This would include, Cor example. Masses m a stadium. a square or building that would involve carrying the blood of the Lord up and down a number of steps or where the congregation is so diverse that ti would be d1fhcult to know which people have been properly prepared for this kmd of reception of the Eucharist ITHLS 20-221

The document notes that even at regular Sunday Masses the number of people present can make the rite of Communion under both species very difficult to ac­complish reverently

Again. I point out that the establishment of nonns for education and procedures m each diocese 1s up to the local bishop In such matters most bishops generally follow norms recommended nationally, but 11 1s each bishop's own dec1s1on to make for his diocese.

Saintly candidates Editor.

J:ather . Leonard Urban·s March 3 column hailing Anglican Bishop Desmond Tutu ( who wants to deprive large numbers of black South Africans of jobs to validate his notion of himself as an African leader) as a "saint" is remimscent of Andrew Young's applying that term to the Ayatollah Khomeru, another wolf in woolly garments.

According to a Natal University study, 75% of South Africa's blacks oppose the American disinvestment in South Africa urged by Tutu and his Ilk. Readers of the Register should also be aware that the popular anti­apartheid black leader in South Africa is not Tutu but rather the Zulu Chier Buthelez1, who leads 6 million Zulus in opposing apartheid but disapproves strongly of disin­vestment and economic sanctions

They should also know that U S. corporations doing bus1r,ess in South African gave more than $78 m1lhon in housing, medical, and educational benefits to their black employees m the years between 1978 and 1983. Will "Saint" Desmond provide a substitute for this aid 1f US business pulls out of his coootry'> . Fa~her Urban apparently has difficulty d1st­mgu1shmg those truly qualified for his instant canoniza­t10n from self-righteous poseurs. May I direct has alien• t10n to some examples of the former:

• Steadman Fagoth, the Miskito Indian leader who risks his life to rescue his people from Sandinista gen­ocide:

• Edith Stem and Simone Weil. Jew1sh-Cathohc m­tellectuals martyred by the Nazis:

• Vladm1r Bukovsky and Anatoly Schransky. 1m­pr1soned for year~ for their oppos1t1on to the Soviet government

Doubtless none of these people will ever be feted at radical chic "conferences" ~ponsored by the " peace and Justice" mavens, but standing for prmc,ple rather than seek mg human respect is what sainthood is all about 1

The lack of discernment and common sense marking Father Urban's column 1s a sterling 11Justrat1on of the reason why so many Colorado Catholics prefer to keep our money m our parishes and private charities rather than support attempts to destab1h:ze pro-American gov• ernments thinly veiled as humanitarian crusades.

Viewpoints ___ _ A hue and a cry about nursing

By Virginia Fraser

As the State Long Term Care Ombudsman - a consumer representative for residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities - my role is to be objective, analytical. concilatory, a problem solver, a mediator .. I got tired of all that. A reflection m one of Edward Abby's books struck a responsive chord, " If I regret anything. it 1s my good behavior What demon possessed me that I behaved so well ."

It may be time not to behave so well My fantasy has produced all sorts of outrageous acts such as capturing the corporate owners of nursing homes and confining them in their facility for six months.

Here's bow I came to this point. Our office handles complaints made by, for and on behalf of nursing home residents. A sample of the issues follows from resident and family me1,.,bers ·

• " The food is barely fit to eat Last night it looked like they mixed all the leftovers together and served it like hash We got a half a piece of bread which had dried out and some greasy margarine."

• " I'm so tired of going to the home and finding my father lying in urine soaked cloths "

• " If I dare lo ask for help, the aides ignore me and the nurses snap at me."

• " My mother had to go to the hospital and a day later we were told by the hospital the nursing home wouldn t take her back She thought 1t was her home · ·

• " My oxygen bill went up 250 percent for the same usage when the new corporation took over "

• " The hot water 1s so cold. no one can take a bath .. The complaints .seem to be coming from homes

where large out-of-state corporations have recently taken over .. large corporations with shiny-shoed. pm-striped businessmen who can barely tolerate consumer concerns

They're not, however. the only ones l"d like to pick on There ar~ the legislators who are so bored with people concerns. who readily acquiesce to special interests but can't even pass legislation to give the Ombudsman pro­gram access lo nursing home residents.

rm just tired of being fair I know people have to make a proht, I know about all the health-care, cost­containment issues, I know what a tough job running a nursing home 1s But I wonder whether the corporate folks can really identify with what it's hke not to ever have fresh fruit and vegetables. Can Senator X imagine what it would be like not to be able to go to the bathroom when he needed to?

Then there's the seeming disinterest by parts of the aging network. I know there are too many priorities for the dollars but, for example, shouldn't Metropohtan Denver with its 70 nursing homes have an ombudsman program? Why have the senior advisory committees (with exceptions like Boulder County) been so reluctant

to involve themselves with advocacy for nursing home residents?

It can't be the respons1bilty of the Department of Health to see that serious conditions m nursing homes are remedied As it 1s their resources are strained to the maximum and they do a very conscientious job.

I try not to bring more bad publicity to the nursing homes; they gef enough. The papers seldom tell the

A commentary stories of caring staff or give recognition for the tough jobs. They haven't told the story of how one creative, carmg owner has totally turned around a nursing home which could only be described as a tragic pitiful dump. (We must support these positive moves. They show us that it 1s possible to provide good care and still make a profit.)

But I worry about corporate takeovers when vulner­able dependent people are the product.

I worry about the effect of the new hospital " DRG" prospective payment plan where persons are discharged earlier with more disability mto nUl'Sing homes which may not be staUed or equipped to care for them

r worry about the potential for discriminating against Medicaid residents I who make up 70 percent of the Colorado nursing home population l

I worry about the decreased funding for adult social services and their lack of involvement with Medicaid clients in nursing homes

I worry about the lack of local ombudsman programs in many parts of the state.

I worry about the chronically mentally 111 residents or one nursing home who can't get services from the local mental health center

I worry about a legislature making pohcy without really understanding nursing home residents. problems and concerns.

I worry about mcreasmg abuse by overworked under­paid untrained staff.

There are ways to address these issues. • There needs to be more hue and cry about the Jiving

- we have a duty to speak for the v01celess. an obligation to act for the defenseless

• There needs to be a local advocacy system to assist residents and families III knowing what their rights are. to insist on quality of care, to bring issues to the attention of the policy makers, to make sure at a m1mmum that we, the public, get what we pay for

When your child threatens to By Dolores Curran

A mother recently wrote me, ··we have a seventh• grade girl who talks back to us about everything when we correct her When we discipline her, she threatens to run away She argues with us all the lime. How do you handle a girl hke this?"

How does a parent hve with this constant arguing" By refusing to get caught up in the emotional side of the debate and by agreeing.

When one of ours went through this sUlge, agreement disarmed him. " Yes. you're right." I would say " I am wrong and I am sorry you have to put up with a mother who is wrong so much of the lime but that's the luck of the draw."

We can smile, agree and hold to hm1ts without arguing them " I know I am abusing you by asking you to dean your room, but when it', cle-an you can eat "

The threat sometimes starts when a chlld 1s 3 or 4 We handled it by helping the children pack a suitcase. forbidding them to cross any streets, and mv1tmg them t-0 come home for a snack when they got hungry nus won't work with adolescents but the underlying principle may Parents cannot allow themselves to be held hostage to an ongoing threat of runnina away.

run away a young person makes the threat we don't cave m and promise to relax hmtts but rather say, " Well, that's your option, or course We' re not gomg to chain you to our home But the law holds us responsible for you so let's look at some ways we can get you out of here legally Do you know any other parents who want you""

If not, we can sit with him or her and go over these questions " Do you intend to run away permanently or temporarily? We need to know so we can free up your room."

" Let's look m the paper and see what kind of jobs and wages are available to a 14-year-old. Maybe you could get a Job as a l ive•m babysitter Lots of working mothers need these."

" And while we' re at tt. lets look at apartment rents, just to give you an idea of what you' ll need to earn."

And so on While I am admittedly being hght-hearted I am not entirely facetious When parents take the threat seriously and show caring concern for the young person who threatens to leave home. it takes the power out of the threat which 1s not likely to be repeatf'd weekly

For parents with . enous teenage problems I strong• ly recommend the book " How to Survive Your Chtld's Rebellious Teens." by ~yron Brenton < Lippincott l He has worked e-xtensl\'el\' with reb<>lhous tttns and has a lot more answers than I do

We at Coors are/roud to have been selecte to fly a new flag. The "C" Flag. Presented by President Reagan to 150 American businesses and associations, ~ in recognition of their commu­nity assistance pro~s.

The Presidents Citation Program for Private Sector Initiatives is the first White House awards program designed to recognize the kind of public service work w e practice at Coors.

We find it appropria te that the ne w "C" Flag embraces two important principles to which w e're -dedicated: We can. W e care. We can make a difference in our communities. W e care about people in our society.

To all the following American organizations who froudly fly the ''C" Flag, we'd like to quote t he President: 'Thanks to your efforts, our nation is making better u se of our abundant resources, and finding creative solutions to proble m s of human needs in our communities."

Vella's Pizzeria: Italian food at its best

By Glenda KeUer

People who love true Italian food without paying for fancy extras will love Vella's. A longtime favorite of mine, Vella's al 3000 S. Federal in Southwest Denver. bas for a number of years offered lradihonal mouth­watering delights. Although nol a large eatery Vella's makes sure that the food is prepared with the hr.est ingredients avail• able and tbal all patrons are comfortable and satisfied. Cozy, casual and unpretentious are the best descnplions for this family style restaurant.

The owner, Sal Vella, an(l his crew create delicious homemade items seven days a week for your dming plea5Ure. And pleasure 1t is Authentic Italian dishes .such as spaghetti. fettucini, lasagne. ngatoni and of course pizza. One of my all•time favorites has been their canolis. Pizza-like dough is carefully filJed with meatballs or sausage and then smothered with a heavy spaghetti sauce: the medium version sells for $2.95 and the large for $3.40 For a ruce change try one with both meatballs and sausage ( the same price) or choose your own favonte "extras" such as ham, pepperoni. mushrooms, black olives. green peppers or onions for an added nominal fee. With so many people trying to stay away from red meats, the newest version-the Vegetarian is becoming very popt:lar, too. Filled with abundant vegetables instead or the meat filling, this ts a true vegetarian delight at $3.%5 for a medium and $4.50 for a large.

Specialty sandwiches such as Italian beef ($2.50) and pastrami & ham wtth your choice of American. Swiss or Mozzarella cheese ($2.95) are available for lunch or dinner. Dinner items are mosUy the traditional fare you would expect to find with a few new

Eating Out

items added recently Spe1dmi with fettucini for S5 7~ is a thin~hced steak rolled and stuffed with special dressing. rm told this 1s a must to try. Manicott1 with sausage or meatball and caMelloni norentine with sausage or meatball. also $5.75. are also new features. All dinner entrees are served with salad and bread which makes them all very rounded meals at very reasonable prices

The abundant toppmgs for pizzas make it a tough decision for the pizza fan. Choose from 13 items from which you may create your own personalized version.

Or let Vella's make the decision for you Sausage pepperoni oruon and green pepper make up Vella's Special. The 12-inch 1s only $5.90 and the 14-inch is $6 95 Our favorite topptngs happen to be black olives, pep­peroni. mushrooms and canadian bacon so we ordered a 12-inch with a thick crust Minutes later 1t arrived. piping hot and loaded Each slice was very generously topped with all four selections and as always rated "superior " The thick crust was very tasty and filling the way a pizza is meant to be.

Another location at ms S Parker Road tn Aurora also bearing the same name attest to VeUa's popularity Lunch and dinner are served at both locations. Hours are Sunday 4-10 p m., and weekdays and Salllrday from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. For good Italian food try either restaurant: 3000 S. Federal 781-7715 or ms S Parker Road 695--4088.

Mexican dancers to celebrate 15th

• anniversary Red. blue and yellow costumes will flow and swing as

children dance to the strains of manach1 music at a fiesta to commemorate the Our Lady of Guadalupe Mestizo Dancers' quinceanera. or 15th year. anniversary It will be held at Denver North High School. 2960 Speer Blvd on May 10 and 11 at 7 30 p.m

Free Mexican dance cla ses were started 15 years ago by then pas tor Father Jose Lara. He had taken a group of rh1ldren on an outing and while waiting for a bus lo arrive he attempted to keep them occupied by having them do some Mexican dances, but only two of the children knew any dances. Fearful that these children were losmg part of their heritage. he began the Our Lady of Guadalupe Mestizo Dancers

.. It started in Our Lady of Guadalupe Church because no matter what you start there, you can look 10 or 20 years later and 1t will sWl be there," he said.

Lorenzo Trujillo, director of secondary language educa­tion of Jefferson County and one of the first directors of the organization, also recogruzed the 1mportaoce of preserving the Hispanic culture

.. The dance group derives its name from the rich rehg,ous, cultural and proud background of the twelve m11l1on persons of ~1ex1can and Spanish ancestry presently ll\'ing m this country," he said The historical mtermmgl• ing of the dignity. strength and nob1hty of the Indian with the ,;pml and deterrmnat1on of the Spaniard produced the unique and physc1al blend - the Mest1ZO."

Through the years these dance classes have flourished, accord mg to Marilyn Duran , the current president of the group. and mostly because all of the children are given the chance to dance.

Another reason there has been such a high part1c1pation rate for these classes as because they are free , Expenses such as paying the instructors. buying music and main­taining the sound equipment, are covered through the semi­annual fund raisers, Fiesta de Otono held in October and Fiesta de Pnmavera held in May. Duran said that support from fam1hes. the parish and the whole Denver community 1s outstanding.

" People really eem to enJoy our sem1•annual fund raising performances. For many, seeing these Mexican and Spanish dances seem to be an insight •nto their Hispanic culture For others these dances are an introduction into an art form which has survived generations." she added

2 nuns who died taught in Colorado

A double funeral was held recently at the Sisters of Charity mother house at Leavenworth, Kansas for two nuns who had taught in Colorado

year at St Joseph School m Grand Junction, 1963-64, and five years at Annunciation m Denver. 1952-57

4th Sunday of Easter - Jn. 10: 11-18 Sister Marianna De Tarr,

94, died March 30, and Sister Kathleen Connors. 77, died March 31 Mass of Christian Burial was concelebrated for them Aprd 2

Catherine Connors was born ,n Anaconda, Mont , Dec. '1:1 , 1907. the daughter of Michael and E lizabeth McCabe Connors. She en­tered the novihate in 1924, and received the habit in 1925.

By Father John Krenzke Dominican Preacher

The parable-like image of shepherd that Jesus uses here is-intended to confront the pharisees and the.tr understanding (and abuse) of religious authority.

Jesus sets before us three criteria that He regards as characteristic of genuine authority as ,t should function with a faith community.

The first standard Jesus sees 1s the "good shepherd lays down bis lile for his flock " The second standard Jesus sees is a mutual sharing of self - a commumon of persons based on Jesus' communion m Hts Father (v 14 & 151. The third standard Jesus sees is unity - the need for other sheep < the Gentiles) to be gathered mto the one flock The final standard is based on the promise made to Abraham <Genesis 13:3) that he would - through his posterity - be a blessing to all the nations of the earth

There is a golden thread of theme that runs throu~.., the three cr1tena that Jesus teaches. In each section He speaks of " laying down" His life for the sheep tvs. 11, 15. 17, 18l. He pointedly notes that He freely lays down Hts hfe!

By offering His life for the flock He 1s making veiled references to Messianic prophecies of Ezec.hiel, Jeremiah and Zechanah. Those prophets drew a picture of the shepherd who risked his hfe for the sheep in contrast to the hirelings who lived off the flesh of their flocks . The hire!-

ings, noted the prophets, failed to give those sheep elemen­tary care Not only does Jesus look after the needs or the Clock, He gives them Hts life Isaiah 53 spoke or the suHermg Messiah as one who gave His life m expiation and so the good Shepherd 1s also the surrermg servant of Yahweh

In the Old Testament God speaks or His aruuety to pasture his own sheep Himself Commumon or persons ts achieved by the mutual interaction or their ltves Jesus lives m harmony Wlth R1s sheep and exerts His authority by His sharing the human condition The experience of the Fathe,-·s love for Him serves to lmk us to the same Father through His sacred humanity.

The shepherd desires umty of all in one flock . The Old Testament uses the shepherd as well as other images in God's searching for Hts people The truth that God always takes the initiative m behalf of our weUare ,s paramount here. It is never the sheep who search out the shepherd. There may be some element of dtvme humor m the biblical author's use of the image of shepherd and sheep because sheep are notoriously stupid! They do not know where to go for food or water or rest. The shepherd must lead them to cool waters and green pastures as Psalm 23 so beautifully teaches

Marguerite De Tarr. born m Leavenworth. Aug'. 20, 1890, to Frank and Mary O'Rourke De Tarr, entered the novitiate of the Sisters or Charity m 1911 and received the garb and her religious name m 1912 and made vows m 1914.

Sister De Tarr taught a

She taught tn Colorado for mne and a half years: m Leadville for two years. 1952-57, and at Annunciation m Denver for two years, 1934-36 The other years she spent at St Joseph's in Grand Junction, 1936-40 and 1963-64
