Since 1991, the catechism has sold more than 8 million copies in more than 60 languages. The priority now is to finish translating the catechism into local languages and elaborate national catechisms based on the universal text, participants in a Vatican conference said Oct. 11. Bishops from every continent, includ- ing Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein, joined Vatican officials at the four-day meeting for a progress report on how the catechism and a related document, the “General Directory on Catechesis,” have been implemented. Pope John Paul II told the more than 200 conference participants on Oct. 11 that because the catechism had made good use of the documents of the Second Vatican Council it can rightly be called the “Vatican II catechism.” The pope said the Church now needs to make sure the catechism becomes even Comboni Father Michael Barton teaches Sudanese children about the Catholic faith at a Comboni primary school in Southern Sudan.

Early detection saves lives. Get a mammogram.

There are steps you can take to protect yourself. Early detection is the best tool in the fight against breast cancer. St.Vincent Breast Care Center provides the full range of breast cancer diagnostic services, all under one roof.

Mammography is recommended every year for women over 40, especially those at an increased risk. Risk factors include never having a child or having your first child after age 30, a family history of breast cancer, and being over 50. Call 338-9590 to schedule a screening, or go to www.stvincent.org for more information.

As a gift, women having a mammogram at the St.Vincent Women’s Center at Lazarus will receive a $5 gift card.
