A CALL TO LOVE: Depicted here is God’s hand embracing us all and holding us deep within His Heart The human figures within the hand and heart represent the men, women and children who suffer from HTV and AIDS, as well as their families, friends. As a Christian community, let us respond to God's CALL TO LOVE those affected by this disease. Denver C^athoHc Recister ~ October 2,1991 ~ P age 5 AIDS: 'A medical issue, not a moral one* By David Myers Roister Staff The thought of discussing funeral arrangements with his dying roommate was something Jeffrey Kent hated. His roommate, Tony, was diagnosed with AIDS more than two years ago, but months without any smous side effects had lulled both men into a false sense of security. Then, Kent said, “I came home one day and he had totally lost the ability to sit up. I didn’t know what to do.” It was at that time that they both knew Tony was going to get worse, and that he was going to die. “One minute he was fine, and three months later he was dead,” Kent said. His final weeks were spent in the comfort of a home away from home at Seton House, a refuge for men with AIDS operated by Mother Teresa’s Missionary Sisters of Charity. DIE WITH DIGNITY “I think it’s really important that people die with dignity,” Kent commented. “This place (Seton House) is just wonderfiil. I had a dream the other night that Jem* Beea/IKTR riwln something had happened to it, and I woke right up.” DISCUSSING FAMILY and friends with AIDS at Seton House in Denver are, left to right, Joan Reams, AIDS, Kent said ‘is a terrible disease with all sorts Jeffrey Kent, Cora Westhoff and Meredith and Jerry Schlesselman. of stigma attached to it.

They let me stay over a lot of times when positive.” Kent no longer is angry, often displaying a sense of it got really bad. Kent went on to remember fondly a talented man humor that he uses to comfort those who suffer from “I stayed until the very end, and I’m just really who made “beautiful afghans,” and would offer one to AIDS, as well as their family and friends. grateful for a place like this,” he said. anybody who expressed appreciation for them.

Because of this friendship, rooted as it is in the Vincentian charism, St. Thomas Theological Seminary is completely dedicated to the formation of men for the priesthood according to the program of priestly forma­ tion set forth by the Congregation for Seminaries and Institutes of Education, the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, and the seminary Board of Directors. In addition, diis seminary makes a unique contribution to the life of the Chmch through the theological and spiritual formation of permanent deacons and lay men and women. United in the bonds of love and faithful to the mission of the Church, let us resolve in this Eucha­ rist to renew oiu fidelity to the charism of Vincent and to the service of the Catholic Church as he has set such service before us.

He made his fh^t church windows at the age of 12, and they are still in good condition. The methods of making stained glass windows has been passed down through the family for many graera- tions. Each artist learned the techniques from his elder relative and the “family secrets” of the craft are passed down from one goieration to the next. The work is still done by hand and neither the ‘***^ . «^ 'SNr principles nor the tools, except the making of the glass, have changed much since the first Watkins artists were making their stained glass windows in England in the 1700’s. An extensive knowledge of the Bible was essential, since religious windows made up a large portion of the work done in the studios. Express M ail offers pickup service.
