ATLANTA (CNS)—During a discussion on racism at an Atlanta institute for Catholic social advocates, a theology professor told participants the Catholic Church has not been a beacon of racial justice in the United States, but has the tools to be an advocate for racial reconciliation. Georgia Bulletin CNS photo/Michael Alexander, “U.S. Catholics have not been immune to the racial virus that has infected American society. In fact, in many ways, we have aided and exacerbated it,” Father Bryan Massingale said to a crowded room. The priest, who teaches at Jesuit-run Marquette University in Milwaukee, was one of the speakers at the 23rd annual Social Action Summer Institute from July 20-25 at Oglethorpe University. More than 200 Catholic leaders from across the country participated in the program, examining racism, digging into the Church’s moral teachings and studying how to build coalitions with people of other faiths. The aim was for advocates to take home what they learned and enliven programs at local parishes in dioceses across the country, said Susan Stevenot Sullivan, director of parish and social justice ministries for Catholic Charities of the Atlanta Archdiocese. Her ministries office organized the program. Father Massingale, who is writing a book about the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Precious Blood Father Clarence Williams preps his table leaders for his July 22 presentation on “Developing a Pastoral Response to Racism” during the teachings and links with Catholic social Social Action Summer Institute on the campus of Oglethorpe University in Atlanta.

Now, the community is helping pay for her daily round trip of about 39 miles from her home to the Benedictines’ monastery in Ferdinand. The religious community has begun a temporary program to help pay the amount above the baseline cost of $3 per gallon. To determine the cost of gas, they will use the average retail price for the Evansville area on the last day of each month as listed on AAA’s media Web site for retail gasoline prices. To establish the number of gallons each employee uses to commute, the sisters will assume they average 20 miles per gallon and use the distance between the employee’s home and the monastery as given on the Rand McNally Web site. The Benedictine sisters currently have 73 lay employees —49 are full time and 24 part time. “We value the contri- bution of our employees and feel it is important to acknowledge the burden that the recent sharp increases in gasoline prices have caused and to provide some assistance,” said Sister Kristine Anne Harpenau, prioress. “I don’t know of anyone else who is doing this in the area,” said Dave Prechtel, the sisters’ mission advancement gift officer. He drives about 35 miles a day round trip. “I think it is very thoughtful of the sisters to help us with the rising fuel costs,” he added. The computation started on July 1, and employees were to see the difference in their first August paycheck. “Mine will amount to about $35,” said Prechtel.
