We have marveled at his talents, his boundless energy and his zealous dedication to respond with generosity to Jesus Christ in proclaiming the Gospel. we Keeping ·Spirituality The man who will ordain Jim and his Holy Cross confreres to the priesthood will be .·n:l#~~~~~~t one of their own brothers, Archbishop Charles Schleck, C.S.C. Archbishop Schleck, 'chapel adjunct secretary of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples and president of the Pontifical Mission Societies, has humbly, effectively and generously served the Church as a member of the Roman Curia for many years. He is one of ten Holy Cross priests who today serve the Church as (arch) bishops, as John Cardinal O'Hara, C.S.C., former archbishop of Philadelphia, did in his day. Cardinal O'Hara was president of the University of Notre Dame before his appointment as Bishop of Buffalo, and, subse­ quently, Cardinal-Archbishop of Philadelphia.

All these people -- the Cardinal, the Archbishop, and the deacons who will be ordained priests-- have two elements in common. First, they are Holy Cross men with "a pas­ sion for ministry" which has led them to serve the Church to the best of their abilities. Second, they are members of the Congretation of Holy Cross, a brotherhood which has attracted them to a way of life that is a happy and challenging way of living out a personal commitment to Jesus Christ. Their service is offered to men and women who are their brothers and sisters through baptism which joins them together with Christ forever.

So when you hear the Basilica bells ring out their joyous sound on Saturday for many minutes, offer a prayer for the long and unbroken line of Holy Cross men and women who have dedicated themselves to the service of the Church and God's people through the instrumentality of the Congregation of Holy Cross and the University of Notre Dame among many other ministries.

Father Jim Lies and his brothers will celebrate the sacraments of the Church -- our her­ itage as followers and disciples of Jesus Christ. He will pour water over the brows of innocent babies and they will be incorporated as members of God's people. He wi_ll be an instrument of God's care for us in the sacrament of reconciliation, when we place our turst in God's unconditional love for each of us. Jim will confort the sick with oil in the Sacrament of the Sick, and offer dying men and women the Viaticum which will be their last Communion until they live forever in God's presence. He will be the Church's witness to a young man and a young woman whose love leads them to a life- time commitment to each other and to all others, when he presides at the wedding. Jim will be present at the final profession of religious vows of his Holy Cross brothers and sisters, whose profession is a public commitment to live a life based on the Gospel. Jim will present for the ordination to the priesthood of his younger Holy Cross broth- ers in the years to come.

Jim, you have already done much for us through your words and actions during this year. We pledge our support to you and to your ministry as the most recent Holy Cross presbyter, ordained to the priesthood by a Holy Cross Archbishop, with three of · your brothers, and in the presence of family and friends.

Dear God, what a vocation and calling is yours as a Holy Cross priest. Congratulations to you, Jim, and to your brothers Jay, Steve and Brent.

And thank you. Richard V. Warner, C.S.C. C[\MPUS MINISTRY ,.-----~----~----~-...... ------~------~~~ ~----

very year, the Honda Awards Program recognizes the top collegiate women athletes in each of eleven NCAA sports. While E you may recall hearing about the fourteen 1995-96 winners of this award, you may not have known about your school's other nominees. They are also at the top of their individual sports, and provide inspiration and motivation to other

female athletes all over the country. For this distinction, a $1,000 donation will be made to the general scholarship

fund of each of their schools. And this should most likely add to an already impressive performance record.

MEN ABOUT CAMPUS DAN SUUIVAN Men About Campus is essentially a comic strip about that - a guy's perspective about Notre Dame. It covers every­ thing, including NO "dating;" the dining hall, SYRs, football .i;j!{:.>games, the leprechaun and the weather, Of course, the strip - · > t: will contain women __... as for the moment the guys arejust moving into their new place. And like the dorms, aU campus comics have to contend with parietals, too. The comic strip also will address some of the politics of NO, such as the stance on gay and lesbian students, the ever-increasing number of sports edifices on carnpus;along with the basic humor which a group of four unique men even­ tually come up with.
