Bishop’s Easter MessageBishop F. B. Henry

The resurrection of Jesus is a profound reality that is opento more than one interpretation. It is viewed differently ineach of three settings: study, life and prayer. Consider thefollowing responses by some of our children to the question:

“What does Easter mean to you?”“What does Easter mean to you?”“What does Easter mean to you?”“What does Easter mean to you?”“What does Easter mean to you?”

“Easter means sharing.” • Danielle, grade 1, age 6

“Easter means a lot of chocolate at my house. My dad hateschocolate.” • Michelle, grade 1, age 6

“God rose from the dead on Easter.” • Brittany, grade 1, age 6

“Joy and happiness.” • Katerina, grade 5, age 10

“Christ is risen and we have to think about him, not theEaster bunny.” • Shannon, grade 5, age 11

“We should all respect Christ’s death.” • David, grade 5, age 10

.../from page 1, Bishop’s Easter Message

Their responses suggest that scholars, sufferers and worshippers mayembrace the Easter story in different ways and still maintain the truth.

Intellectuals approach the Easter story by scrutinizing the intentionsof St. Paul and the four evangelists. They search the sources used andattempt to chronologically piece together the historical [past] eventsthat first gave rise to the proclamation of the crucified Jesus’resurrection. They seek to verify answers to such questions as: “Whatwere the post resurrection appearances like?” “Did the risen Jesusreally eat some fish?” “What did Mark mean by the ‘silent flight ofthe three women’ at the end of his gospel.” Truth is their priority asscripture experts practice their academic discipline.

The second view of the resurrection is a matter of consulting thepoor, as opposed to the scholars, about the meaning and message ofEaster. It comes from people who have first-hand [present] experiencein pain and suffering, as well as stories of terrible deprivation and thestruggle to survive. In this setting, Easter is the mystery of the crucifiedChrist rising from the dead calling for a transformation of our world.It invites those who suffer and those who cause suffering to seek andfind a new kind of human existence. This way of understanding theresurrection challenges us to repent and believe in the good news ofJesus’ victory over death. This vision of Easter begs the question,“How may I do what is right and just for all those for whom Jesusdied and rose into final glory?”

The holy women at the tomb symbolize the third approach tounderstanding the resurrection. They came to weep and mourn butfound the tomb open and empty. Running back to Jerusalem withfear and great joy, they met the risen Jesus and worshipped him. Theyrepresent all those whose hearts continue to catch fire at the one whodied and rose to set us free. With Mary Magdalene we recognize thegrandeur [future] of God’s Son and pray, “Dying you destroyed ourdeath, rising you restored our life. Lord Jesus, come in glory.”

These are three different, yet complementary approaches to the Easterstory: through the head, the hands and the heart of Jesus. The scholarwill study and analyze the story for its historical and theological truth.Those who suffer and struggle today can let the story enter and enrichtheir lives through action and good works. And the faithful will acceptthe story joyfully proclaiming, “Lord, by your cross and resurrectionyou have set us free. You are the Saviour of the world.”

Easter is the story of the risen Saviour who offers us the full and finalanswers in our triple quest: What can we know? What must we do?What may we hope for? We meet the Risen Saviour in the universitysetting, along the roads of life and in our places of prayer. In Him wefind the plenitude of truth, the ultimate good and the utterly satisfyingbeauty of God. Jesus is truly risen. Alleluia! Alleluia!

Easter is a time of new life, a fresh start and new beginnings. We are certainly experiencing a new

beginning as we welcome Bishop Frederick Henryto our unique and culturally diverse Diocese ofCalgary.

As you celebrate Easter with your family, weencourage you to reflect on the family and ethnictraditions of your Easter celebration.

In this issue of The Carillon, you are invited tojoin us in a new understanding of just what ourdiocese is. You’ll discover how we are linked togetherby our deaneries throughout Southern Alberta. Inthe book, From the Buffalo to the Cross, A History of theRoman Catholic Diocese of Calgary, the preface states,“It has been frustrating to write so much of thebuilding of churches, and to have nothing to writeof the people who built them, and prayed in them.The real history of the Church is the history of thegrowth of the Spirit within each person in thediocese.” It is our mission – our goal as editors ofThe Carillon – to bring the stories of our peopleto print. May they be shared in our diocese forgenerations to come.

Please express your ‘study, life and worship’ withour diocesan family through The Carillon. Forassistance, you may contact our contributing writerswho will help put the words on paper.

The Carillon is very pleased with the response toour first issue of 1998 that was distributed in March.Call us at 295-8124 to discuss the topic featuresscheduled for upcoming issues.

The paper was fantastic - great articles and a job well done by Monique[and Myron]. I called Tom Stalinski today and praised both of you. Ispoke with [a friend] today and he said that he was extremely pleasedwith the issue he read last week and feels positive that The Carillon willnow get the attention it was meant to get in the first place.

Keep up the great work. I am mailing Sister Margaret Mary a copy ofThe Carillon tomorrow.

Jan Foraie, secretary at St. Joseph’s Parish, Calgary

First of all, let me say that I am very impressed with the new look ofThe Carillon. WOW! At last it looks professional and worth reading.

“Together we can do some beautifulthings for God.” This statement, whichconcluded Bishop Henry’s first homilyto our diocese, sums up the experienceof those who attended the installation atSt. Mary’s Cathedral the evening ofMarch 19, 1998.

At 5:45 pm about 100 people werealready lined up outside the doors ofthe Cathedral in anticipation of theceremony that would start at 7:30 pm.

Approximately 1500 faithful, including Mr. and Mrs. Henry,the bishop’s parents, were in attendance by the appointedtime.

Strings, trumpets, flutes and percussion provided the ViceRegal Salute as Lieutenant Governor and Mrs. Bud Olsenbegan the procession. Then, as the choir and congregationsang, “All People That On Earth Do Dwell,” the processionof priests and bishops passed by the people.

The Most Reverend Joseph N. MacNeil, Archbishop ofEdmonton, began the opening rites. “You’re here tosupport and encourage the new bishop, and we’rehere to support you in that,” he explained. FatherPatrick Cramer read the pontifical Bull(Apostolic Letter) which released BishopHenry from his obligation to the Diocese ofThunder Bay and exhorted the clergy and peopleto receive him as our shepherd. The Cathedralrang with applause to indicate the people’sacceptance. Archbishop MacNeil then escorted thenew bishop to his chair and handed him the crozier [staff]as an official sign of his new responsibility.

The Right Reverend Vito Rallo, representing the ApostolicNuncio to Canada, read greetings sent on behalf of PopeJohn Paul II, thanking retiring Bishop Paul O’Byrne for hisdedicated service and the beautiful legacy he is leaving hissuccessor. Father Rallo went on to say the Lord has blessedthis diocese with the beauty of nature, abundant naturalresources, and the good will and optimism of the faithful.“Let us never take these blessings for granted.” He remindedthe people of “excessive exploitation of the environment inthe name of competitiveness,” explaining that he mentioned

this [to Bishop Henry] because of “your forthright leadershipand your experience in the application of the social justiceteachings of the church.” He concluded his remarks with ablessing, “May you be, for others, a beacon of light and joy.”

Greetings from the people of the diocese were brought byrepresentatives of lay women and men, religious, and clergy.Speaking on behalf of the CWL and lay women, Mrs. MaryHeinzelmeir stressed the importance of the bishop’s supportand encouragement as women accept more leadership roles

and responsibilities in the church. The Honourable W.Kenneth Moore, Chief Justice of the Court of

Queen’s Bench of Alberta, represented the lay menof the diocese and got more than a few chuckles

when he referred to the bishop’s interest inhockey and golf. “We are confident under your

leadership we’ll score many goals and come inunder par,” he said, adding, “Any miracles you canperform in relation to our hockey team would betimely and appreciated!” Sister Margaret Nadeau,

R.P.B., welcomed the bishop warmly on behalf ofcommunities of religious women and men of the diocese,

saying this “new chapter in the history of the church . . .invites us as religious to a renewed act of faith.” Speakingfor the clergy, Father Tim Boyle referred to the many giftsour diocese has received from God, saying we are “called todistribute . . . to gather the fragments in order to make futureand further distribution possible . . . to prepare for a newoutpouring of God’s grace.”

In his first public homily as bishop of our diocese, BishopHenry spoke of the house of God being the communionof faithful and faith-filled people. “While we may have

misgivings or concerns about one another and our new roles,what really counts is that God is with us to protect us andinspire us,” said the bishop. On behalf of his priests andhimself, he asked for the prayers, patience, and understandingof the people. “We are never quite up to the task . . . we arefrail men who are called to fill a very high office,” the bishopasked for collaboration and responsibility. “I need many, manyco-workers,” he explained. “Together, but in different ways,we are called to build up this local church,” he continued.Bishop Henry stated that he would like to be a bishop in themidst of the people who “...will try to be open, will try tolisten, and as you’ve probably already noticed, I don’t havemuch problem talking.” And, yes, the bishop was still talkingand shaking hands with each of about 500 people whoattended the reception at St. Mary’s Hall afterwards.

From the procession through the raised swords of the Knightsof Columbus until the last coffee cup was dried, the eveningwas beautiful, thanks to the hands of many willing volunteers.

Bishop F. HenryA Christian LeaderTom Scura

On January 19th, Bishop F. Henry fought back tears as hetold his staff at The Catholic Pastoral Centre in ThunderBay that he would be leaving to become the Bishop ofCalgary.

On January 30th, an Ontario headline read, “Bishop comesout swinging, 48 hours into new job, Frederick Henry takesverbal swipe at Klein.” Actually, the headline was inaccurate– Bishop Henry would not begin his new job for over amonth!

On February 1st, The Calgary Sun ran an article by Rick Bellwhich criticized Ralph Klein and warned him, “The heat ison. An individual has come to this province you will findhard to handle. A spiritual man who will not pout and stompaway like opponents in your leadership bid four years ago. Agutsy man who will not be demoralized when he loses andwill not feel despair when you one-up him in the powergames. A thinking man who will not scream and stomp andfail to offer fresh alternatives.” Again, this article was printeda month before Bishop Henry would formally become theBishop of Calgary.

He has been praised as an advocate for the poor and as agifted religious leader. He has tackled lingering problemssuccessfully and has put the diocese on course as it approachesthe new millennium.

Bishop Henry is neither considered “liberal” nor“conservative.” Bishop Henry’s interviews and sermons –in fact everything he writes, says and does – reveals athoroughly modern, yet completely Catholic mindset.

Bishop Henry is a natural leader. As his employee for almostthree years, I’ve found him quick to offer praise for a jobwell done and sensitive when I’ve come up short.

Public figures always have their critics. Many people havesecond-guessed some of Bishop Henry’s policies orviewpoints. In some cases, they have insulted him publicly.A few of these insults have been anonymous and, therefore,cowardly. Some people have confused his self-assurance andhigh self-esteem with a superior attitude. Others have toldme they admire the bishop’s willingness to admit his faultsand mistakes. I’ve seen him stand up before packedcongregations and talk about personal failings and areas ofhis life that he felt needed improvement. This shows humility.

For me, as Director of Communications for the diocese,Bishop Henry’s talent in handling media interviews was agodsend.

Bishop Henry is lovable because he genuinely loves others.He has a good sense of humour and can laugh at himself.He takes time out to savour the little pleasures in life andgets a kick out of children.

We, in the Thunder Bay Diocese, carried on the work of theChurch with the focus and confidence that comes from goodleadership. We were hoping that maybe John Paul II wouldoverlook the talented and energetic bishop who was servingour small diocese on these frigid shores of Lake Superior.Maybe we were being a little selfish in wanting a bishop ofthis calibre all to ourselves. But can you blame us?

On March 6, 1998, the staff at the RC Diocese of Calgary PastoralCentre hosted a private reception in honour of our faithful retirees,Bishop Paul O’Byrne, Dr. Guy Doll and Miss Carmel Coughlin.

On March 8, 1998, Holy SpiritParish, [Calgary] hosted a grandpublic appreciation to thankBishop Paul O’Byrne for hisreligious ministry of fifty years,and role as bishop for 30 years inour diocese. Over 1200 peopleattended and extended fondwishes and blessings to “ThePeople’s Bishop” on the eve of

his official retirement. The afternoon refreshments were served by theCWL of St. Anthony’s Parish and entertainment was provided by theNative community.

Diocesan Milestones

On the morning of March 9, 1998, Bishop Frederick B. Henry acceptedcanonical possession of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Calgary duringa private ceremony at the Pastoral Centre. In attendance were thediocesan consultants, and Sr. Rose-Anne Engle from the ChanceryOffice. They read the Bull [Apostolic Letter] and signed the registry.

On the evening of March 9, 1998, Bishop Frederick B. Henry waswelcomed by the clergy of the diocese during a private reception. Over95% of the diocesan religious were in attendance throughout the evening.Those who couldn’t be at the reception due to poor travel conditionsor priestly obligations were there in spirit and prayer.

A dinner in the bishop’s honour was held at OurLady of Grace Italian church at 4:30 pm on March19th. In attendance were all of the clergy fromour Diocese of Calgary along with regionalbishops and a few invited guests including hisfamily and a few members of his staff from theDiocese of Thunder Bay.

Bishop Henry compares attire with his brother Larry andclaims, “You’re not the only one who’s a little flashy!”

Our DioceseWhen we hear the word “Diocese” or the word“Bishop,” we immediately think back to Jesus and thetwelve apostles. In simple terms, a diocese is an areawhere the believing community (and the not yetbelieving), is under the care of a successor to theapostles, the bishop. The first duty of the bishop is toteach and sanctify his people. In the early Church, theapostles chose some deacons to take care of charityworks so that the apostles would not neglect theirteaching and sanctifying roles [Acts 6:1-4]. In a diocesesuch as Calgary, the bishop appoints helpers in theimplementation of his most specific work and ordainsthem as priests for the church. The first work of thepriesthood is teaching, and with that, sanctificationthrough the celebration of sacraments. Organizationally,a bishop may have special helpers to achieve his mostimportant work of teaching and sanctifying.

Some of the most important people are catechists(teachers), as they prepare the minds and hearts ofchildren for the gift of the Sacraments. In the role ofteachers, there are no others as important as Christianmothers and fathers.

In our own diocese, offices directly connected to theteaching role of the bishop include the ReligiousEducation Secretariat and Mission Council Secretariat.Our Catholic Schools, and most recently St. Mary’sCollege, carry an important challenge of teaching andforming the consciences of a new generation of Christianpeople.

Recently we read of the many references made by ourHoly Father, Pope John Paul II, to a New Evangelization.Christians of our time – Christians of every time – arecalled to connect and reconnect with the Gospelmessage. Currently there is a growing awareness thatin small groups we may find a way to ground ourselvesonce again in the truth of Jesus and His word. He is,after all, the WORD of God [John 1:1].

There are many other services based in the Diocesanoffice serving a variety of needs within our diocese. Forthis moment in our history may we identify clearly theroot and reason from whence all other activities springforth. It is Jesus Christ – Word of God!

Bishop Caroll DeaneryThe Book of Romans speaks of akingdom of peace, justice and joy.

[Romans 14:17]God made this promise to

everyone. We all are gifts so as tobuild up God’s kingdom. It is the

victory of Easter that empowers theuse of these gifts, since “God is not

a God of disorder, but of peace.”[1 Cor. 14:32-33]

This is the hope of our diocese.

One Church,Many VoicesNancy Sawa

The Diocese of Calgary is large and diverse –one whole time zone from east to west, morethan 200,000 Catholics who worship in largecities, small towns, rural parishes and missions.Another way this diversity is expressed is in thelanguages of worship. A quick check of theAlberta Catholic Directory tells us that worshipin this diocese occurs in at least a dozenlanguages: Italian, Portuguese, French andSpanish; Polish, Croation, German andHungarian; Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese;as well as Native and English. About 4500families worship in a language other thanEnglish.

The use of the vernacular in liturgy wasencouraged during Vatican II, that the faithful“take part knowingly, actively and fruitfully.”¹But what does this really mean? Father Joseph

of St. Vincent Liem of Calgary, expresses it thisway when he speaks about the 500 families whoworship there in Vietnamese. “This is our mothertongue. It is like home, like family. The affection…there are things that cannot be translated.”

Father Istvan Zachfalvy speaks about the use ofHungarian at his Calgary parish, St. Elizabeth ofHungary. “If you live far away from your homecountry, then your home is your language. That’swhere you find yourself.” In his opinion, this is thedeepest reason for ethnic-based churches.Worshipping in the mother tongue occurs at a veryintimate level.

Like home, like family. The language of family islearned around the kitchen table, in the everydaygive and take of people living together. This sharingof common experience is how communityhappens. And from many voices, we have oneChurch.

We are Onein the Holy SpiritJohn Wu, OLPH parish

Canada has a multicultural policy, which means that peopleof different cultural backgrounds are encouraged to maintainwhat is good in their cultural roots. This is reflected in ourdiocese with fourteen ethnic parishes, serving the communityas well as new Canadian immigrants. The faithful of differentethnic origins worship God within their own cultural contextand their own language.

I have attended Mass in languages that I do not understandand still felt welcome because the celebration was the sameas that of my own parish church. We share a common faith– one God, one baptism, one Eucharist – in one holy Catholicand Apostolic Church.

In 1978, Bishop Paul responded to the needs of the Chinesecommunity by inviting Fr. John Mak to come to Calgary,despite the lack of a church building or financing. When Fr.Mak arrived, he was asked to give pastoral care at the FoothillsHospital, while working to build, organize and evangelizethe Chinese Catholic Community. For a time, the Chinesecelebrated Mass in English, with readings in Chinese at St.Paul’s parish. In August 1997, Fr. Mak was transferred toOur Lady of Perpetual Help parish to serve the establishedcommunity and the Chinese better.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish (The Chinese Catholicparish) will be initiating over 100 catechumens throughBaptism, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation this Easter. Thisparish is reaping the fruits of the seeds of faith sown bymissionaries in China over the last 700 years. Today, seedsof faith continue to be sown by the work of the Catholicschools in Hong Kong and China. These seeds are helpedalso by the prayer and sacrifice of the church and allowed togrow and bear fruit under the love and guidance of the HolySpirit.

“The reaper is already receiving wages and is gathering fruitfor eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.One sows and another reaps.” [John 4:36-37]

Fourth Annual EmmausLenten Lecture SeriesHelen and Ken Beckie, March 13, 1998

Approximately 150 people attended the Emmaus Lecturesby Basilian Fr. George Smith, at the FCJ Centre in February.

Fr. Smith’s talks centered on three biblical themes ofForgiveness, Freedom and Justice as evidenced in Isaiah 61and Luke 4:16-20. They were presented in the overall biblicalcontext of Jubilee Years – years that are especially dedicatedto God. (Leviticus 25:8)

In the first talk on Jubilee Forgiveness, Fr. Smith indicatedthat being made in God’s image, we are empowered toforgive others for what they have done to us. Just as everysin has repercussions for the whole human race, so doesevery act of forgiveness.

In the second talk on Jubilee Freedom, Fr. Smith indicatedthat the first concept of freedom is detachment from ourproperty [material things]. Instead, return to family traditionsand to those who made us what we are, anchoring us inhistory. Jubilee Freedom allows us to remember a releasefrom captivity, to bear witness and to tell stories for futuregenerations. Jubilee Freedom also frees us for re-creation,through recreation. Parents and parishes must recreatefamilies. Nothing is more dangerous to the life of the churchthan the collapse of the family unit.

In the final talk, on Jubilee Justice, Fr. Smith explained thatthere is no concept so central to the Old Testament as thatof justice. Jubilee Justice demands that we explore areas ofinjustice. The sin is not about ignoring unjust situations,but in not talking about them.

The FCJ Sisters and the Basilian Fathers are to be highlyapplauded for bringing in the Emmaus Lenten LectureSeries.

CWL DECLARES WARON CHILD POVERTYIn a unanimous decision, the executive of the AlbertaMacKenzie council of the Catholic Women’s League ofCanada has decided to accept and present the “Multi-FaithDeclaration of Co-responsibility to End Child Poverty inCanada.” At their annual convention in June, presentationswill focus on poverty with a view to offering governmentpossible solutions and programs to help realize this goal.

Results Canada (7/97) states that “there has been an increaseof 46% in child poverty since 1989.” It is time for the CatholicWomen’s League of this province to take a stand. It is timefor government to take a stand.

It may be impossible to completely eradicate child povertyin the province. There are many single parent working at thelowest minimum wage in Canada and living in a housingshortage with high rents.

Born January 30, 1930, just outside of Peterborough, Ontario,Carmel Catharine Coughlin was raised on a dairy farm.Seventh in a family of eleven children, Carmel was given thechoice of farm work or housework. She chose to be outside,in the field, doing “men’s work”.

Carmel’s parents, Agnes May (nee Cleary) and Richard CharlesCoughlin were supportive in encouraging the children tolove God and fulfill their responsibilities to the church.Carmel certainly lived her vocation as influenced by herupbringing.

Carmel received her education from Daisy Dee Public Schooland Norwood High School. She was taught by nuns andcompleted grade 13 at the Convent in Lindsay, Ontario. In1946, at the age of 16 years, her father died in a very tragicaccident. At first, it was thought to be a heart attack while hewas out watering the cattle near a lake. Later, it was discoveredthat he was accidentally electrocuted by 3000 volts of currentas the Hydromen were working [somewhat haphazardly] ona nearby power line.

The family stayed together, and Carmel went to businesscollege from 1946-47. Then she worked in Toronto to helpher family financially.

She had dreams of travelling to Europe, but her mothergently persuaded her not to travel outside of Canada andencouraged everyone to stay close. Carmel respected hermother’s wishes by staying in Canada.

Having accepted employment in Manitoba at a rocket site,under the employment of Colonel Spiff, Carmel enjoyedher position until they moved the site to the USA. Althoughthey wanted Carmel to move with them, she chose to goback to the family farm and look after her brother Charlie.Her mother took a well deserved holiday.

Carmel still yearned to travel. She met some girlfriends, whomshe’d known in Manitoba, and they decided to head west fora holiday. Carmel enjoyed being in the West, but didn’t likethe Vancouver rain and decided to move to Calgary.

She enjoyed her job working at Alberta Coal [Mannix Family].Carmel was active in her church. Several priests knew herthrough her brother Leo who had become a priest in Ontario.

Word spread that Bishop Kleinwanted to hire laity in thePastoral Office. A couple offriends [priests] encouragedCarmel to apply for the job.She went to the interviewjust to be “polite”. In fact,she was very content at herjob and had no intention ofleaving. After the interview atthe bishop’s office, Carmel washeading towards the bus stopwhen it hit her – she had acceptedthe bishop’s offer for employment atthe Pastoral Office and would be starting in two weeks! Shefeels that the Lord led her to accept this position.

When Carmel began working for the diocese, it was not thepractice to hire women in the Pastoral Office. The peopleof the diocese assumed the clergy was responsible for keepingthe facts and the records of the church. It was hard to imaginea new person taking over this role, especially a woman. Theclergy also wondered how a woman would be able to maintainthe level of confidentiality that was so essential at this office.

Carmel endured very negative attitudes towards her presencein the office for several years. Her dedication to her vocationpaid off as she became well respected by the clergy and thefaithful. She was the “keeper” of diocesan news that couldbe shared only as the bishop would determine.

In 1973, Bishop Paul initiated The News Release – a news servicethat provided international, national and diocesan news. Itwas a popular service with over 3,000 subscribers. Carmelwas involved in all aspects of its production in addition tobeing the bishop’s executive secretary. Later, The PastoralReporter was initiated with Carmel at the helm. She contributedto The Pastoral Reporter for more than 20 years and truly enjoyedbringing the written word to the diocese. Carmel grew inher appreciation of the Catholic faith and religion.

Carmel, as your friend, I have been given this specialopportunity to congratulate and wish you well on yourretirement. I wonder what your thoughts and feelings mustbe after so many years serving God and His Church in yourcapacity as Bishop Paul’s secretary at the Pastoral Centre.I hope you can say, “I’ve worked hard, done my best andnow I will have time for rest and reflection.” You may soonfind other ways to work in “His Vineyard.”I sincerely hope your retirement years will bring you rest,peace and tranquillity.

Helen Trudel, personal friend

.../from page 20, Carmel Coughlin

During the past few years, Carmel’s health has been in needof attention. She had to resign from being an auxiliaryminister of the Eucharist at St. Mary’s Cathedral becauseher arthritis interfered with holding the precious host. Shealso has some problems with osteoporosis.

Carmel will be missed by every parish in our diocese. Shearranged all of the Confirmations including scheduling withthe deaneries. Her relationship with staff and clergy wasconstant, kind, loving and supportive. There were times thatCarmel was quite direct, but only in the desire to serve. Herplace in our diocese will not be easily filled. We’ll rememberCarmel as a real minister of God’s service in our diocese.

To the long-standing editor of the Pastoral Reporter(1973 - 1996), Many felicitations on your blessedretirement. All the best for many years ahead, with peace,
