A Vocation Week is designed for young boys who believe they have a vocation but would like to have a glance at the life of a seminarian. Along with this they will receive advice on how to detect a vocation, the qualities neces- sary, and a better knowledge of the goal towards which they are striving, the priesthood. In other words, for one week they will lead the life of a minor seminarian, with obvious exceptions. What kind of life do these boys live during a Vocation Week? The best way to answer this is to give a descrip- tion of an actual Vocation Week pro- gram. Let's look at the Vocation Work- shop that was held June 17 to 23 at St. Vincent de Paul Seminary, Le- mont, Illinois. Father Jospeh Haley, C.M., with the assistance of Fathers Arthur Trapp, C.M. and Richard O'Brien, C.M., conducted this program. They put in a great deal of work in arranging such a program.

He averages 40 or 45 boys and girls a Sunday. A unique feature is the percentage of boys, about one- third. The Church of Japan is mainly a church of women and that is even more pronounced in Sunday School groups. Before being stationed in Kushimoto, Fr. Cairns had been at our parish here in Wakayama, so when summer rolled around, he asked for Sisters to conduct his summer school. Three Sisters, Sis- ters Mary Patrick, Catherine, and Ga- briel went down to help him. Father very graciously turned over the rectory to the Sisters and moved to a Japanese Inn.

Many missionaries had the experience of baptizing more converts and instructing more cate- chumens in the last three years than in the previous thirty years. The in- terest in Catholicism was on the up- surge. Many excellent minor and major seminaries were flourishing.

More particularly, it is intended to give edu- cators factual answers to the ques- tions outlined above and to other re- lated questions. Since it would be impossible and un- necessary to test .all of the high- school students in the nation, the high schools were divided into various cate- gories-those with large student popu- lation and those with smaller enroll- ments, country schools and city schools, public, private, and parochial schools. A number of students from each cate- gory of schools was then determined, the total being five hundred thousand students, or five per cent of the na- tion's high-school population. The schools chosen were then invited to participate in the project. Ninety-three percent of the schools invited agreed to participate. The tests were given in the familiar multiple-choice form and covered five general areas-use and comprehension of the English language, personality, interests, ,aptitudes, and one which covered the general subjects taught in school. The nature of the test was such that it indicated the particular aptitudes and interests of the student rather than his actual output of work.

For the Vincentians and the Daugh- ters of Charity, there is a difficulty which is peculiar to the Chinese refugees with whom we are mostly en- gaged. There are few converts in the age group which furnishes vocations. Originally, the refugees expected to re- turn to the Chinese mainland in a short time. When they came to For- mosa, the parents left their homes and school-age children in the care of the old folks. The young and the middle- aged couples came with preschool-age children, 6 years or less. Now these children are 16 or 17 years old, not even out of high school. So actually, we have had very few Catholics in the marrying-age or in the religious-en- tering-age. About 3 years ago, our big- gest mission area had some very strange statistics. In the area there were 10,000 Catholics. The register recorded 2,000 baptisms, many of these were converts, but most were babies. Eleven million people live on this mountainous island.

Birth and Death The next German province began in the Archdiocese of Cologne in 1851. In twenty two years the number of con- freres increased from five to eighty; they gave over three hundred missions and managed nine youth-hostels. The work of the German province was once again crushed by external forces when Bismarck unleashed his Kulturkampf in 1873. That year marked the beginning of a long period of unhappiness for the German confreres. A large number of them were exiled from Germany. However, like most bad things, the exile had good effects; during this time the confreres established new pro- vinces in Costa Rica and Palestine; the care of the German speaking people of Paris was also entrusted to them. In 1878 the confreres from the pro- vince who had been scattered all over the world gathered at Theux, Belgium, to begin again. Theux remained the headquarters of the province until af- ter the First World War.

- REVIEWING PASTORAL PROBLEMS w8 M What is a good shepherd? How can the modern pastor best mold himself in the image of The Good Shepherd? What are the problems facing these other Christs? How do they solve them? These questions and hundreds other like them are faced, discussed, and at least partially answered each November when the Vincentian pas- tors of the western province gather at Perryville for their annual meet- ing. This year thirty-two men met at the seminary; they listened to six lectures which were given on the various problems and duties which a pastor faces: they spent many more hours discussing these problems among themselves. One subject which has a vital in- trinsic interest for all Vincentian pastors is the ideal Vincentian parish. Father Oscar Huber, C.M. addressed his fellow pastors on one of the ways to make a parish an ideal Vincentian parish, the parish visitation. Pastors have an obligation, in some way or other, to visit all those people who have been entrusted to them.

Academics In, The Past In previous years, the academic life of a second year novice was very limited. His school day usually con- sisted of only two major classes. The reason for this was the fact that, in the past, the whole two years of no- vitiate academics constituted one full college year. But now the second year novice is carrying fifteen full semes- ter hours. The subjects being taught are English. Latin, college algebra, European history and religion. With the exception of religion, all these classes are three credit hour courses, each requiring from seventy to eighty minutes of preparation. Since very little of the novitiate schedule has been altered, the second year novice must now learn how tol make the best pos- sible use of his time. But in order to get a better idea of how the change has affected the life of a second year novice, let us take Who would ever think of buying a mountain to remedy a housing shortage? to accomodate the a look at one of his typical class days.

Harvard-without too much ado- completed three multi-million dollar laboratory buildings within the last year, and is putting up still another. DePaul, on the other hand, with no less a need to expand than Harvard, must go about it more gradually and deliberately. It must plan more care- fully so that its expansion-while slower than that of Harvard and other wealthy colleges-may not be less sig- nificant. For DePaul, then, expansion cannot be something which takes place in a year, or in several years; it must come through a program, a long-term program. Financial limitations demand this. So do other limitations, the chief of which is a lack of campus area. Campus ,area, of course, is absolutely necessary for an expansion program, since when buildings are built, they have to be built somewhere. Now the jonly section of property owned by DePaul not already covered by con- crete is located indoors-in flower pots and window plant boxes.

'hTn' TAnPAndrhin JL LU -,JZXIIL- C11 Page Five I |; -- THE LABORATORY OF THE HUMANIST s r The decision to include plans for a $2 million library in Phase One of DePaul University's "Program for Greatness" was largely one of neces- sity. For, at present, DePaul's libraries are in urgent need of space, both for the housing of its ever-increasing number of volumes and for facilities for the students making use of the libraries. The role of the library in modern education, and more specifically at De- Paul. is well stated by Father Redmond Burke, C.S.V., Director of Libraries at DePaul University since 1948. He says, "And if books are the heart of education, the library must be the heart of a university.

Even in his seminary days, his name as a scholar was established. The stu- dent log of 1913 singles out his partici- pation as defendant in the annual St. Thomas Day disputation, which Fr. Musson pronounced "the best debate he ever witnessed." Little wonder, then, that after his ordination on June 26, 1913, his path led to Prep, to the University of Dallas as professor of philosophy, and then to forty-three years in major semi- naries as professor of moral theology. After four years at St. Thomas Semi- nary, Denver, he gave a fifteen year piece of his life to the St. Louis Arch- diocese at Kenrick. He received a year of leave in 1938-39 to get his doctorate in Rome, and then began his twenty- four years at St. John's in Camarillo, where he is today something of an institution. His work has not been glamorous- FATHER JUSTIN NUELLE seminary work seldom is-but what is glamor compared with such sustained A golden jubilee is an event of great His long association with St. Louis dedication?

In fifty-five schools of nursing they train seven thousand students in the professional attitudes and skills that make for good patient care. Mother Seton's daughters are currently teaching 253,731 children in 464 elementary schools throughout the United States and Canada. Mother Seton taught a small group of stu- dents what would today be a high- school curriculum.

Seven four- year colleges and one two-year col- lege, with a total registration of 4,582 students, are staffed by the Sisters. Each year the Sisters of Charity care for 472 handicapped children, reach sixteen thousand persons in social service centers, apart from hospitals, and provide spiritual retreats for near- ly seven thousand lay persons.

Meditation at the altar; Understanding in the confessional; Mirth with children; partaking in joy; Patient in trials; Support in weakness; Love despite frailty; Sympathy in sorrow; Consolation at death; Father of all- this is to be a priest! This is to walk, a man among men-no less a man, yet exercising the power of God. Hands which were raised in youthful sport are raised in benediction; hands which have known the callouses of labor become the cradle of the Carpenter; hands which have grasped at earth's fleeting shadows, unattainably, hold the Divine Verity, boldly. To be a priest is to stand a link between earth and heaven; between the finite and the infinite; between man and God. Manly in nature; Godly in office. It is to address God in the name of Humanity-to speak words which man of himself could never presume to utter; to offer the Sacrifice of Love. The priestly character adds to nature, grace; to frailty, strength. A man chooses not to be a priest-he stands chosen. His dignity ever remains unacquired; it is bestowed. A tool, and nothing more. "Man's days are like the grass; he thrives like the flowers of the field. No sooner has the wind swept over them than they are gone, unremembered by the place where they were" (Ps. 102; 15, 16). More than the priest himself, no one feels FATHER THOMAS HINNI these words more poignantly. A reed endowed with Godly power; of itself a mere nothing, of its office elevated above the angelic choirs. Humanity, a fragile bit of God's handiwork: left alone it crumbles, endowed with graces it can shake the earth to its very foundations. Sacerdotal by character, the priest stands before God gracefully; fear and trembling of mere man are hidden by the mantle of grace-weak man; strong priest. To whisper the words of Consecration is to call the Seraphic choirs to attention; to raise the host high in elevation, is to raise the Man- God, whom even the Cherubim adore in rapt silence. To impart Love is to distribute Communion; to bring God to man; to presume to give Strength to frailty, that frailty may be less frail. To place the Source of Grace on the tongues of the poor, the lowly, the weak, the sick, the weary, the sorrowful, the fearful, the despairing, the bereaved is to bring them the Source Bene- ficent of riches, honors, strength, health, rest, sympathy, assurance, hope, and consolation. To bring God to man is the priestly office; an office sublime; an office unattainable except that God first brings the priest to Himself. The priest, the man of God, for all his gifts remains ,a man. Pain is his familiar; sorrow his companion; health his false-friend. Never more a man, never more God-like, than when he speaks the words of utter conso- lation: "Ego te absolvo." Channel of divine mercy; Minister of consolation; Depth of understanding; Dispersion of doubt; Reassurance to sensitivity; Sharing in sorrow; Father to the prodigal; Hope in despair; Love of the penitent. Humanity, hurt and stained, approaches the priest in the confes- sional; darkness gives way to light; sorrow to joy; distress to confidence. The priest, ,athirst for souls, finds one of his greatest joys in the confessional. The priest not only brings to a suffering and hurt mankind their God, but he also leads his people as a shepherd leads his flock to the Source of their beatitude, God. The priest-a shepherd knowing where the richer pas- tures lie; shepherd knowing where the clearer waters flow; Shepherd knowing where the fresher breezes blow. The priest ever remains the shepherd-not the hireling; the shepherd who knows his sheep and whose sheep know him; the good shepherd; the shepherd who shall lay down his life for the flock.The lost sheep, wandering in peril without a shepherd are tenderly sought and prayed for. The priest, as shepherd, does more than drive his flock-he leads it by word and example; he urges it; he loves it.

The priest, finally, stands as a holy man; richly endowed with grace; greatly loved by God. The priest is the man of God; God-like in character, grace, and office-no less manly in nature. A mere man, a, whisp of dust raised on high, raised above the angelic order, that he might spend himself in ministrations to his fellow-man.

(George Thompson, C.M.)
