Also beatified were three other religious founders: Faustino Miguez of Spain, Zefirino Agostini of Italy and Antonio de Sant’Ana Galvao of Brazil.

Health Care Health care must be promoted and supported by the cooperative efforts of the public and private sectors for the good of the individual and society as a whole. There continues to be a genuine need to reform our health care delivery system. The problems of the unin- THE sured and the underinsured continue to escalate. The Catholic Church has spoken vigorously for reform rooted in values that respect the essential dignity of each person, that ensure human life is protected, and that recognize the unique needs of the poor. CANDIDATES “The lack of basic health care and factors tied to poverty have been documented in the tragic reality that poor children are twice as likely as other children to have physical or mental disabilities, etc.” – The United States Catholic Conference Where does the candidate stand on extending quality health care benefits to all people?

Welfare The Catholic community brings both convictions and experience to discussions on welfare. The Catholic Church is the largest nonpublic provider of human services to poor families in the United States. We know well the failures of the welfare system, the possibilities and limitations of volunteer services, and the ways in which human dignity is under- mined and denied by poverty in our state and nation. The target of continued welfare reform should be poverty, not poor people. Proposals should be judged on the basis of whether they enhance the lives and dignity of poor children and their families. The Church is opposed to measures which would deny benefits to children who are born to unmarried mothers or to mothers already receiving assistance; which treat immi- grants differently from others in society; and which unjustly classify individuals in need of assistance as substance Evan Bayh Paul Helmke abusers and exploiters of the welfare system. United States Senator United States Senator The Church supports measures that enhance the princi- Democratic Republican ples of work, family, and self-reliance.

As I soon learned, Cathedral freshmen are encouraged to get involved in some type of school activities. This is important in the school’s success and it is vital to the experience of each student. Through car pooling with other Greenfield classmates and spending some days doing homework on the front steps waiting for my mom to get off work, I was able to participate in cross country, baseball, Model UN, and various clubs. Through these activities, I was able to make life-long friends and learn many life lessons such as self-discipline, dedication, and sacrifice. I would be remiss if I didn’t speak of the outstanding education I received at Cathedral. I was especially interested in math and science, and these teachers in particular made these subjects come to life for me and my friends. My teachers pushed me to reach my personal best. They had high expectations of us academically and otherwise. Much of what they taught me stayed with me through college and to the present day. I believe the preparation I received at Cathedral could not have been sur- Paste In passed. After having been graduated from college, I couldn’t have been more Art pleased when I was asked to help as a camp counselor then as an assistant coach for the cross country team. This affiliation with Cathedral grew into a full-time position when I filled the vacated Alumni Relations #1706 Director position which I held from 1992-1995. Through my position as Alumni Relations Director, I met graduates “John Michael Talbot” from all eras of Cathedral’s history. These meetings exposed me to a variety of people and stories that reaffirmed my own feelings of how Cathedral’s experience can positively affect one’s life. I owe Cathedral a great deal for the knowledge and experience I gained during those days. In the spring of 1995, Cathedral earned an even deeper place in my heart. My wife was in her second year of teaching Spanish at Cathedral, and we were expecting our first child. We were showered with beautiful gifts from the faculty, staff, and families of the students. However, the support we received when our son, Nicholas, was born with a heart defect overwhelmed us. He is fine and healthy now, but that first month was very scary. Everywhere we turned, we were being helped by our Cathedral family: my friends from high school, our fellow teachers and staff, the families of our students, and the administration. Their con- stant prayers and support sealed our loyalty forever. ST.

Since 1921, the Indiana Knights of Columbus have been helping disadvantaged boys from parishes, counties, towns and cities all across Indiana have happier holidays. Gibault School would like to thank the Knights and their wives for their generous support since 1921. Many others have also helped support the school.

The boys at Gibault School are Indiana’s boys, your boys. They are children in need and they need your help. Please remember Indiana’s forgotten, neglected and abused children this holiday season with a donation to Gibault School for Boys. PLEASE help Gibault School save a boy in need.

Gibault School for Boys is a residential center for delinquent and pre-delinquent boys ages 8 to 18. The school has been sponsored by the Indiana Knights of Columbus since 1921. For more information, please call 812-299-1156, ext. 465.

PLEASE Help A Boy In Need! Send your donation today to: The Gibault Foundation, Inc., P.O. Box 2316, Terre Haute, IN 47802-0316
