BY PETER DROEGE

Bidder, archdi ocesan superintendent for Catholic schools, has established a mission statement establishing as the top priority teaching children to know and live the Gospel o f Jesus Christ through the Catholic faith. ’’The mission statement o f each school should strongly reflect the Catholic faith,” said Dr. Bidder, who was named sup>erintendent inApril. “Students also need the equipment and tools to be able to think — the fundamentals of reading, writing and math — and they must know how to behave,” he added. ‘ Our vision is to bring faith, hope and love to every child in the archdiocese — that’s a challenging agenda,” he stressed. ”We must PARJSHIONERS from St. Leander Church in Pueblo share sorrow after Mass last Sunday with Father Francis Kelly ‘Bud’ make ours the best schools in the Scheets, center, brother o f one o f the slain priests. untgriocRphau, country and, at the same time, make them very affordable.

The survey, conducted by the Archdiocese of Phila delphia and RC Braithwaite Communications, was mailed to 12,000 members of the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA), and results were an nounced at the association’s annual convention ear lier this year. Tbaching ualues The majority of Catholic educators surveyed listed “Gospel values” and “parental involvement” as the number one and number two most important benefits o f Catholic schools. When asked to list the three most important values to pass on to students, a majority chose “faith and morals” as number one. “Resjiect” and “self esteem” were listed as second and third. There was also agreement on the challenges fac ing values-based education. When asked to list the greatest barriers to teaching morals, “television” and “media” were picked by a collective total of 50 per cent. Less than one third, (28 percent) chose “lack of role models.” When asked to choose between “morals" and “aca demics” as the more difficult to teach, a large major ity (91 percent) chose “morals.” Looking to the future, the role of parents remained the most important component in effective Catholic education. When asked to create a list of only five items that Catholic educators “could not do their job without in the year 2000,” “parenta) support" was listed as number one. The top five list also included, in order, “the Bible,” “finances,” “computers,” and FRAN C E S Adams, 1996 Teacher o f the Year, teaches 4th- and 5th -grade science, English and 5th -grade homeroom “textbooks.” at Sts.

Included among those supporters is Dr. Stanley M. Wagner, rabbi of Denver’s BMH Congregation, director for the Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Denver and director of the Mizel Museum of Judaica. Rabbi Wagner calls Blessed Mayer “a shining star” m the otherwise “terribly dark period of the Holocaust,” whose legacy will stand for all future generations. In a recent interview, the rabbi pwinted out that while the Jewish community does not believe the Ro man Catholic Church did enough to stem the tide of the Holocaust, Blessed Mayer clearly provides an ex ample of Christian opposition to the deatl.-giving pioli- cies of Hitler's National Socialism. Rabbi Wagner said. "He was such a personality that inspired the people of his community ... because he stood by the ideal of human dignity, even for the Jew. This person must be recognized for the valuable contribution he made to civilization. We live in an age, 1 think, when our younger generation needs heroes.” He went on to clarify that by “heroes" he did not mean those figures of the sports world, or of Holly wood. or of the political arena, but those “pieople of virtue ... of spirituality ... people with uncompromis ing idealism." .^nd. in liglit of Rupert Mayer's contri butions in this latter league, he would very much like to see him canonized in the Church. Rabbi Wagner has been pleased with local com munity efforts to recognize Father Mayer, such as the 1991 dedication in his name of the chapel at Regis •Jesuit High School.

I pray you will join me in a partnership o f prayer, love and concern. T h s - ■ M y concern is for the children at St. Bonaventure Mission School. Without caring friends like you w e can't exist. Many o f the 300 children coming to us from the eastern N avajo JferftAiv Reservation live in near Third-World conditions-some have no electricity or running water; despair bred by poverty; and poverty o f spirit due to neglect, dysfunctional family life and alcoholism. In our school we provide education which gives hope for the future to these JDT- children, two meals a day, and a nurtunng environment. This fall our needs are especially great. The high costs for books, stall workbooks and supplies for each classroom and for each child have me asking God how we'll meet these expenses. I pray you will join in our love for these children through your financial help and your prayers.
