By Margaret Nelson

Fathers William Joseph Brown, William L. Ehalt, Richard W. Eldred and Darvin E. Winters Jr., have begun a challenging journey. The four men were ordained Saturday at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis in a celebration before family, friends and teachers, but Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein didn’t downplay the difficult work that awaits the new priests as he talked about the “awe- some act of faith” they have undertaken. The life of a priest is hard, Archbishop Buechlein said,“not so much because of celibacy, as many think,” he said, but because of the aloneness of being spiritual leaders when the work is tiring and thankless. Priests “must be pure in a world that mocks purity,” he said. “Prayer is the key to happiness in ministry, because it is the key to fidelity,” said Archbishop Buechlein. It “allows the Spirit to lead us so that we are not leading ourselves. “A priest is a witness to mystery and so his identity is divinely rooted in faith,” said the archbishop. “We and our ministry depend entirely on Jesus Christ. “A priest is a servant of communion in the Church and in the charity of Christ,” he said. “We cannot short- circuit it by trying to sidestep the Cross. “No matter how compassionate we may want to be, we cannot preach an easy Gospel,” said the archbishop. He also told the new priests, “Obedience is not easy. Without faith it is impossible. “Because faith and prayer are so inseparable, I say that prayer is our first and most important pastoral duty,” said Archbishop Buechlein. The Rite of Ordination began with the calling and presentation of the candidates. After the election by the Archbishop, the assembly demonstrated their consent to the ordination of the four men by applauding.

After the archbishop’s examination of the candidates Photos by Margaret Nelson and their promise of obedience, the men lay prostrate Top, newly ordained Fathers Joseph Brown, William Ehalt, Richard Eldred and on the cathedral floor while the assembly chanted the Darvin Winters, standing behind Archbishop Daniel M.

Father John Corapi was ordained in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome by the Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, and has advanced degrees in Scripture and theology. Father Corapi is a nationally-known, no-non- sense, straight to the point “Apostolic Preacher.” Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne Father Corapi refuses to water down the message to suit Catholics 4379 who have developed “a worldly permissive spirit” at odds with Catholic doctrine and morality. Father believes it’s not love to allow 3x5 your neighbor to skip and dance his way to Hell. Paper The three pillars of Father’s preaching are the Eucharist, devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and “uncompromising fidelity to the Holy Father and the magisterium.” The results of his preaching are many conversions, full churches, and he typically spends 8 to 18 hours in the confessional after preaching.

Shawe Memorial Junior–Senior High School teacher Carole Williams of Madison is among 12 Indiana high school teachers chosen to visit Japan this month on a 12-day Toyota-sponsored study program designed to give them an in-depth look at the country—from its schools and factories to its palaces and sacred shrines. Williams has taught jour- nalism and art classes at Shawe for 18 years. The Indiana educators are among 50 teachers from four states who earned the all- expense-paid educational and cultural trip offered through the new $440,000 Toyota This Ad Is International Teacher Program sponsored by Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Camera Ready!

Neg “We commend the teachers’ plans to incorporate what they learn abroad into their teaching at home.” During the study program June 18–30, the teachers will tour factories and learn about the evolution of Japan’s tech- nology and industrial devel- opment. They also will visit schools and discuss educa- tional issues with their coun- terparts, meet with a Japanese Parent-Teacher Association group, dine in the homes of Japanese fami- lies, and visit a town that conserves water by recycling rain. Their travels also will take them to cultural and histori- cal sites in Tokyo, Toyota City, Nagoya and Kyoto, Japan’s ancient capital. † Page 8 The Criterion Friday, June 11, 1999 FTC to study marketing of violence to youth and their manner of attack, seemed to mimic a fantasy 18-month review of entertainment industry will target sequence in the movie The Basketball Diaries.

BEDFORD—Ruth Padgett, a five-year teacher at St. Vincent de Paul School in Bedford, received the Bedford Rotary Club’s Teacher of the Year Award for 1999. Kathy Sleva, principal, said Padgett didn’t choose teaching as a profession; rather, she received a call. One of Padgett’s projects involved arranging for her third-grade students to work with children with special challenges. The class formed a cheering section at the Special Olympics and sang for the children at the Hospitality House. Padgett received a plaque and a check for $300, which she said she plans to use for a new class computer.
