WASHINGTON (CNS) — Just two days after religious leaders and the president renewed their support for it, a bill that would amend the Constitution to de- fine marriage as between one man and one woman failed June 7 in a procedural vote in the Senate. What is known as a clo- ture vote to end debate and bring the bill to the floor fell 11 votes short of the 60 needed to get past cloture; the tally was 49- 48. Cloture votes are often re- ferred to as “test votes” because they tend to signal how much support a bill has, although they don’t always exactly mirror final votes on the legislation itself. Beyond a cloture vote, the meas- ure would have to pass with a two-thirds majority, or 66 votes, to move it out of the Senate. The House has not taken up its par- allel legislation. At a June 5 event, President George W. Bush called on the Senate to pass the Marriage Protection Amendment, and Philadelphia Cardinal Justin Rigali said the vote was “an opportunity which should not be squandered.” DENVER CATHOLIC REGISTER l JUNE 14, 2006 LOCAL NEWS l 7 Local actor’s Plenty of youth events Tony Melendez featured in concert career a product series to benefit migrant relief through summer months A performer who has inspired of God’s direction millions with his gift of hope is BY JOHN GLEASON Dave Tschumper, youth director BY JOHN GLEASON coming to Colorado.

Kuenz got his first starring role in a film the summer before he start- ed college. “Pamela’s Prayer,” a coming of age story about over- coming peer pressure, was being shot on location in Colorado Springs and has been aired on CBN. During World Youth Day 1993, Kuenz was cast in a performance of “Our God’s ,” a play that Pope John Paul II wrote while he was a day laborer in a rock quarry. “It seems like every time I turn around, my career is being influ- enced by Catholic forces,” Kuenz said. “Each is a stepping stone, tak- ing me further to shape my career.” Those stepping-stones have taken Kuenz from stage to televi- sion to motion pictures. But that’s not all. It has led him down the writer’s path as well, having writ- ten, and performed in, several shows for Magic Moments, a com- munity theater troupe, in Littleton. “Magic Moments has been doing shows to benefit special needs organizations for more than 20 years,” he said. “The months of work to put on one of these musi- cals is all worth it when you see the finished product.” Kuenz mentioned over and over again that he doesn’t feel he chose a career as much as it has chosen him, guided constantly by his faith. “It’s where I’ve always found new inspiration,” he said. “Whether it was school or the stage or whatever, my faith has been my companion.” Kuenz and the cast of Pump Boys and Dinettes will be perform- ing at the Country Dinner Playhouse through June 25. 8 l LOCAL NEWS JUNE 14, 2006 l DENVER CATHOLIC REGISTER Seminary and diaconate formation among vital ministries ACA helps fund BY JOHN GLEASON Every year, Catholic households generously contribute to the Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal. Money from those contributions is distributed to nearly 50 pro- grams and ministries throughout the Archdiocese of Denver. Two of the benefactors of the appeal are the archdiocesan semi- naries. The average yearly cost of educating a seminarian is nearly $20,000. Although money from the ACA doesn’t cover all forma- tion expenses, the appeal does bring much needed help.
