Vol. XXXI No. 79 Catholic Archdiocese of Miami Price 25$ Friday, December 28, 1984 Pope tells youth: go for peace, not escape VATICAN CITY (NC) — Youths must strive to avoid sex and alcohol or drug escape and build societies based on peace, justice and general participation in political life, said Pope John Paul II in his 1985 World Peace Day message. The pope asked youths not to become depressed by political and social problems which threaten peace. He urged them to use their energy to "free history from the false paths it is pursuing." "Some of you may be tempted to take flight from responsibility: In the fantasy worlds of alcohol and drugs, in short-lived sexual relationships without commitment to marriage and family," he said. "Put yourselves on guard against the fraud of a world that wants to ex- ploit or misdirect your energetic and Memorial to murdered priest powerful search for happiness and meaning," he added.

Criticizing proposed Reagan administration budget cuts, one of the religious leaders, Holy Cross Father Theodore Hesburgh, said America's religious believers should embody "the spirit of Christmas" by providing a voice to the voiceless poor.. He was joined at a Capitol Hill forum Dec. 13 by Auxiliary Bishop Emerson J. Moore of New York, Episcopal Bishop John T. Walker of Washington — who said his own church's efforts at feeding the hungry have been unable to reach all of the capital's poor children — and other Christian and Jewish leaders. They urged a united religious front against what they regard as further devastating budget cuts aimed at the poor and — while acknowledging the serious problems posed by a soaring Regular guy federal deficit — suggested that budget-cutters should aim for defense Bishop Adam Maida of Green Bay, Wis., makes regular visits to the parish schools, and spending as well as social spending. here he sits on the floor and talks with kindergarten children at Two Rivers Catholic Cen- tral SchOOl.

By Ana Rodriguez-Soto Voice News Editor TAMARAC — Thoughts turned to the future here as St. Malachy Parish dedicated a brand new school and an impressive parish center recently. Comparing Catholic education to the technical marvel of the space shuttle, which heralds a new era in space travel, homilist Father Timothy Hannon, founding pastor, said Cath- olic education represents a similar kind of investment in the future. In "a well-educated Christian, the grandeur, the glory of God pours out," said Father Hannon, currently pastor at St. Anthony in Fort Lauder- dale. "There's a lot of sacrifice involved in (a Catholic school)" he added, "but it lays a foundation ... The more love, the more learning, the more sac- rifice you pour into it now, the more firm will be the kingdom of God in our lives." The selflessness and generosity of the parishioners was praised more than once during the dedication ceremony, which began with a Mass concelebrated by Archbishop Edward McCarthy and more than a dozen priests from nearby parishes. "The grandeur of God" is also ex- pressed in "the generosity of the peo- As elementary school students watch, Archbishop McCarthy prepares to bless crucifix that will hang in school office. ple," Father Hannon said, for they Below, Archbishop installs Crucifix.

PAGE 12 / Miami, Florida / THE VOICE / Friday, December 28,1984 Youth Olympics Text and Photos by Prent Browning *• It may be hard for anyone to take you seriously when you proudly an- nounce that you won an event at a "Youth Group Fun-Olympics." The problem is that when they ask you what event your team won you have to tell them the "Ghanaian Goober Gallop" or the "Brazilian Hot- Air-and-Bubble-Bursting Bonanza." Ugh. But never mind that, the real purpose of the "Fun Olympics" held recently at St. Catherine of Siena Parish in South Dade was just to have fun, and the organized activities seemed tailor-made for that goal. Six Catholic youth groups participated in the afternoon event, organized with the help of youth group leaders and the Archdiocesan Of- fice of Youth Ministry. It may be that everyone is a potential Olympic champ if only an event could be created to fit particular abilities. For instance, if you have good depth perception and love water, the Hawaiian High Water Hurdle is probably the event for you. The object was to pour water into a soda can resting on your team member's forehead and then run back to get more water. The bubble bursting event (pictured right) could have been renamed the bubble bouncing event, because many teenagers had a difficult time bursting a balloon by sitting on it. The object of the game was to burst the balloon and then race back to the starting line and blow it up again. A more familiar event was the tug-of-war (above) that the Little Flower Youth group won handily. In between the events, teenagers relaxed and listened to music from the Christian rock group Fire Escape (below).
