Vol. XXXIV No. 16 Catholic Archdiocese of Miami Friday Aug. 21,1987 Schools here expanding services Inge S. Houston Voice Staff Writer Catholic schools aren't what they used to be. No more three-Rs from 8 to 4 and close the door. They are having to adapt to the times and provide extra services not given years ago. In response to a growing demand by working parents, for instance, more Archdiocese of Miami schools will open Pre-Kindergarten and extended-day programs this year. As the number of families where both parents work at a full-time job increases, Catholic schools are sensing the need to provide a safe environment for children whose parents cannot pick them up before 5:30 or 6:00 pm, said Sister Marie Danielle Amspacher, S.S.N.D., superintendent for Archdiocesan schools. In addition to 19 existing programs, three new Pre-Kindergarten programs will open this fall, according to Sister Anne Claytor, S.C., elementary curriculum coordinator.

Bishops in each of the countries — Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica — will be members of their countries' National Reconciliation Commissions to oversee compliance "in matters of amnesty, cease-fire, democratization and free elections." The peace plan outlines measures to take effect in each country within 90 days. These include a general cease-fire, amnesty for guerrilla forces, internal democratization and prohibition on the use of one country's territory for ag- gression against another country. In calling for "complete freedom for television, radio and the press," the plan also will affect Nicaragua's Radio Catolica, the Catholic radio station closed by the Nicaraguan government in December 1985 for failure to broad- cast a speech by Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega.

Last week the difficulties involved republics of the Soviet Union. in making such a trip became apparent again as the pope held Mass in St. Peter's Square to celebrate the 6OOth anniversary of Lithuania's conversion to Christianity. The Baltic nation, which has a large Catholic population, is now celebrating that event.

The prospect of a papal trip to the USSR has only one in Lithuania — and frequent pressure munity within the Soviet Union. been a primary focus of attention largely because on high-ranking prelates who need government of the approaching celebration in June 1988 by approval for their appointments.
