Many of you have traveled great distances at no small personal sacrifice and it is my hope that you will return to your homes exhilarated not only with the majesty of the Rockies, but more especially with the sense of accomplishment and direction to be derived from your partici­ pation in and carrying out of your Convention theme — 'The Parish: Renewal in Progress.” At no time has the Church been in greater need of the contribution to be made by truly Christian laywomen, who are willing not only to live life, but to renew and refresh it. To be fearful of renewal and change is to be fearful of life itself. May this renewal teach each of you to live not for yourselves, but according to the demands of the new law of charity, to adminis­ ter this grace you have received to others. Devotedly yours in Christ, Archbishop of Denveriver^/ Archbishop James V.
