Grandpa’s little girl— a leper? News in Brief------Military aid to El Salvador by Father Doctor Luigi Pezzoni, P.I.M.E. WASHINGTON (CNS) — President Bush has decided to free $42.5 million in military aid for the government of El Salvador, but he said the money will not be released until March so peace talks currently underway will have “ every chance to work." Observe Bush told Congress Jan. 15 that he decided to restore the military aid because Salvadoran rebels are committing human rights abuses and receiving “ significant shipments of lethal military assistance.” The rebels, known as the Farabundo Marti National Libera­ World tion Front, have been at war with the Salvadoran military for more than a decade. Bush added however that he would hold up dispensing the money for 60 days to coincide with elections in March for the Salvadoran National Assembly. Leprosy Action called ‘grave option’ SILVER SPRING. Md. (CNS) — The head of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, ip a letter to military chaplains work­ Day ing in the Middle East, said using armed force to combat "u n ­ just aggression" was a "legitimate though grave option." It is an option that must be "considered and conducted soberly," Archbishop Joseph T. Ryan of the Archdiocese for the Military Services said in the letter dated Jan. 15. "We of January 27 our time must realize that we shall have to give a somber reckoning for our deeds, for the course of the future will de­ pend largely on decisions made today," he said in the letter.

Catholic Schools: Great beginnings last a lifetime

pear Friends: “ Catholic Schools: Great Beginnings Last a Lifetime.” the theme of the 1991 Catholic Schools Week celebration, highlights one of the major contributions which our schools make to our nation. The seeds df healthy development are planted early in life and continue to yield good fruit throughout life. Our schools provide a strong foundation for lifelong growth by teaching moral, religious and family- oriented values in a context of love and care. Research indicates that one of the key reasons why Catholic schools are so successful is because of the common values shared by parents who choose to send their children to them. Parental involvement and an ongoing partnership between the parent and school play an essential role in the development of the child. Catholic education is an education of both the heart and the mind. Our students are taught that God loves them and has given each of them unique and special gifts — gifts which they are challenged to develop in order to help others. The "seeds of service to others" are planted early. The contributions Which graduates of our Catholic schools make to their local communities, our nation and the world tpflect the strong emphasis on the need to be involved to make a difference — and what a difference (hey make! We live in a time when it has become abundantly clear just how fragile our world is. The many values we cherish — among them living out the teaching of Jesus, peace between nations, love for one's neighbor, respect for the environment, freedom and democracy — will exist only if they are taught. Such values are the "seeds" planted by the Catholic schools. They are values that last a lifetime. As we celebrate Catholic Schools Week 1991,1 invite you to visit your local Catholic school and to of­ fer your encouragement and support. They are a blessing for the Church and a treasure for our nation. We offer our thanks in a special way to those who generously support the Catholic schools — the people of the Diocese of Pittsburgh. With every personal good wish, I am Faithfully in Christ,
