Fall Retreats at the Milford Spiritual Center

Mark you calendars! The Milford Spiritual Center, a Jesuit retreat house just east of Cincinnati, will again be hosting two of its most popular retreats this fall. Fr. Jim Dolan, SJ will present a DeMello- Style Retreat September 28 through October 1. Fr. Dolan presents retreats and workshops on themes of Fr. Anthony DeMello, SJ throughout the U.S. and abroad. The Milford retreat will include guided meditations, informative conferences, group discussion, videos and clarification sessions. It is not a silent retreat. Fr. Dolan will be followed October 27–29 by Dr. Jim Finley, a for- mer Trappist under the direction of Thomas Merton. Dr. Finley will be offering the retreat St. John of the Cross, a silent retreat focusing on contemplative self-transformation. He will share a series of reflec- tions on the 16th century mystic, with emphasis on the saint’s classic work, “The Ascent of Mt. Carmel.” Fees for the retreats are $225 and $150, respectively.

From the Archives Benediction at St. Joan of Arc

Archbishop Paul C. Schulte, who served as archbishop of Indianapolis from 1946-1970, celebrates Benediction at St. Joan of Arc Church in Indiana- polis in this undated archival photo- graph. St. Joan of Arc Parish was founded in 1921. (Joan of Arc was canonized the year before.) At the time, its northern boundary extended all the way to the Marion County-Hamilton County line. Father Alphonse Smith, who later was appointed bishop of Nashville, was the founding pastor. The parish grade school was staffed by the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. The parish population peaked in 1942 at 5,100. Today, the parish num- bers about 1,100 persons in 516 house- holds. The pastor is Father Patrick Doyle, who also serves as dean of the Indianapolis North Deanery. The parish is about to build a new Parish Community Center, which will provide enlarged and improved facili- ties for the grade school and other parish ministries. †

SAGAMORE SENIOR CARE N YOU’RE AMONG FRIENDS COME MEET A MEDICARE + CHOICE PLAN THAT’SAS CONCERNED ABOUT COSTS AS YOU ARE. Sagamore Senior Care is a very different kind of health plan. Different, because Sagamore was established not to make substantial profits, but as a service to the Indianapolis community. It was founded by St. Francis Hospital and Health Centers, St. Vincent Hospitals and two other leading hospitals and health sys- tems and is now available to anyone who is on Medicare*. We streamlined our operations and reduced administration costs to the minimum. And we found that by doing so, not only could we offer a plan with no monthly premium beyond what you currently pay for Medicare, we could also increase the benefits. (If you’d like even more comprehensive coverage, including prescription drugs†, we offer two alternative plans with small monthly premiums.) We’d like the chance to tell you more about Senior Care. So give us a call, toll free, at 1-800-523-7533 (T.D.D. 1-800-728-1777) and let us know which date and place works best for you. You’ll be among friends.

Clinton on July 7 agreed to postpone the execution of Juan Raul Garza of Brownsville, Texas, which was sched- uled Aug. 5 at the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre Haute, pending a Justice Department update of clemency guidelines in the federal sentencing system. “We hope that this action will lead to a further reconsidera- tion of the use of the death penalty in our modern society,” read a letter to Clinton from Bishop Joseph A. Fiorenza of Galveston-Houston, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. “In our view, the next appropriate action would be to impose a moratorium on the use of the death penalty at the federal level,” he continued. The last execution by the federal government was in 1963. Garza is one of 21 prisoners who have been sentenced to death under federal statutes since the Supreme Court ruled in the late 1970s that some death penalty statutes could be con- stitutional. “We want Mr. Garza to have an opportunity to submit a request for clemency,” White House spokesman Jake Siewert told reporters. Clinton has long supported the death penalty, although he said at a recent press conference that he is con- cerned about the “disturbing racial composition of those who’ve been convicted ... and the fact that almost all of the convictions are coming out of just a handful of states.” In his letter, which was released July 11, Bishop Fiorenza told Clinton that the crimes for which Garza and others are on death row are horrible and deserve punishment and that “as pastors, we understand the human emotion of anger and the desire for revenge. However, as Christians, we believe that we are called to promote life, even the lives of those who have taken life,” he wrote. Garza was convicted in 1993 of killing three men between April 1990 and January 1991. † The Criterion Friday, July 14, 2000 Page 31
