SKODER, Albania (CNS)—A baby, one of nearly 1 million Kosovar refugees who have flooded into Albania, rests in his cradle at a refugee camp set up in the Dynamo Sports Center in Tirana, Albania. Some 10,000 refugees from Kosovo are living in a tent city at the center. Albania, about the size of Maryland, is barely able to care for its own 3.3 million people. Hundreds of refugee camps are proliferating in the country, with more to come. In one of the more established camps in Tirana, the capital, refugees live on 4-foot by 8-foot foam mattresses spread out on a basketball court in the city’s sports arena. Volunteer from local churches work round the clock to feed the refugees bread, cheese and eggs. Most refugees have been there for five weeks. (Donations to help Catholic Relief Services provide aid in Yugoslavia and Albania may be mailed to the archdiocesan Mission Office, P.O.

Eldred spent summers between seminary studies at St. Mary Parish in North Vernon and in Indianapolis at St. Jude and St. Luke parishes, St. Vincent Hospital (for CPE, clinical pastoral experience), and Our Lady of Lourdes Parish. “Each summer I experienced actually being with the people of a community,” said Eldred. “That helps you dis- cern whether the life is for you, and it helps you get a han- dle on what life in the community will be like.” The hospital CPE involved “10 weeks of walking with people from the womb to the tomb,” he said. “That also helps you have an insight on your own self.” While at school in Wisconsin, Eldred spent five years working with a local parish, preparing students for confirma- tion and teaching catechism to fifth-graders. His early education by the Sisters of Providence brought him the honor of serving as one of three deacons for Pope John Paul II during the beatification of Blessed Mother Theodore Guèrin last October at the Vatican.

When he was in college—on his own for the first time— he saw the focus as striving to excel. “It opened my eyes about what I was going to do with my life,” said Winters. Most of his experiences in jobs and school made him realize that being kind and courteous helped—and that he wanted to work with people. While he was in seminary, he served with Father Vincent Lampert at Mary, Queen of Peace Parish in Danville. He lived at St. Patrick Parish in Kokomo for his CPE work at Howard Community Hospital. He served at St. Matthew Parish in Indianapolis one summer. It helped Winters to see in Father Lampert “a young, vibrant, orthodox priest who loves the Church. It was really great to work with him, because he suggested things I should be involved in. “As a grade-school kid, I probably would have been called the least likely to succeed,” said Winters.

The men financed the trip by sending 300 letters to family members, friends, parishioners and businesses to ask for prayers and donations toward the $1,200 each man needed for bikes, food, materials and their “Biking for Jesus” T-shirts. For a year, the 12 seminarians have spent their Sundays praying and planning the trip—and their Saturdays train- ing for the rigorous ride. The men believe that only God can measure the success of their cycling crusade. But Williams said that, if one per- son considers a vocation because of their efforts, they will consider it successful. Meyer and Williams won’t be bicycling home from school next year. They will complete their theology stud- ies in Rome. †
