Q: Why did the Bishop select
the ten (10) Projects to which
money has been allotted
throughout the Campaign?
A: The Bishop did not select
the Projects. They were
selected by a commission of
six priests, a sister, and five
laymen who worked for three
months to determine the
priority of needs for the people
of the Diocese of Corpus
Christi. They also determined
the percentage of available
funds that were allocated to
each priority.
The predetermined
percentages allocated to each
priority have been unchanged
at all times They are as
follows:
Rebates to Parishes 25 pet.
Catholic Charities 5 pet.
C.C.D. 51^ pet.
Priests’Retirement 3 #3 pet.
Lay Retreats and Cursillos
3 pet.
Home Missions 5 pet.
Campus Ministry (Newman) 5

Offiee of Education 2 ifl pet.
Diocesan Emergency Fund
In the heart of America, 13 states and ISmfMon
people have been plundered.
They're the victims of an obscene era in our country's
history. People imprisoned in a powerless, poverty-stricken
colony. By government By industry. By rich absentee owners.
And all too often by the most exploitive power force possible:
a combination of all three.
There's little choice left for the people of Appalachia.
They can remain, hungry and sick. In mine-ravaged hifls. Or
they can migrate, hungry and sick, to the dttas. And the
ghettos grow.
Easy lessons In exploitation. You hove to bo sharp.
Sharper than the r ple you^re trying to take advantage of.
Give them Uttle or no education, then take them over, whan
you’re In Appalachia, you start by taking over their property.
Exploitation Is a cinch If you’re an unscrupulous mining
company. You buy the land, sometimes for as Httia as $1
an acre. Put the local psopls in tioefc to the company store.
Soon own the “company town’’. And eventually buy and
control moat of the local politicians, fudges and bureaucrats.
Coal mining by the strip method obliterates trees,
pollutes streams and destroys the land for fanning for at least
10 years. The law requires that the company restore the land.
But the company that owns the mining rights may own the law
enforcers too. So if the land Is reclaimed, it’s done at the
expense of the taxpaying public. You, as weN as the
Appalachian poor.
Colk^iw^cwruptior^nd|bu^ucrati<^ngtfng have
establishedafpndasto serve both thomlners andfte mining
companies. But these agencies have become little more than
arms of the industry. Coal it a highly lucrative business. Yet
Washington allowed itseif to be pressured by the coal industry
into subsidizing production and market research programs that
cost taxpayers well over $20 million a year.
The federal government spends only $8.70 par capita
per year on education In Appalachia. Versus $27.88 nationally.
Monies for education are rewards from Washington — handod
out In direct proportion to the amount of political musde an
area has. Isolated backwoods hollows can’t mustsr the clout to
compete with thousands of other special-interest groups
demanding a “piece ^if the pie’’.
Health is another example. Thera's a health crisis in
Appalachia. Existing hospitals are facing bankruptcy and have
no money for supplies or personnel. But your tax dollars are
being squandered on bricks and mortar tar new hospital
buUdlngs, some of which are almost noxt door to the old.
This is only part of what’s kitting Appalachia. Wt
havant tract to cover the whola story hare. But wa pfcn to
tell you about the rest of the horrors in future advertisements.
Appalachian poverty programs. For everyone but the
ooor. rears ago the Appalachian poor would not accept charity.
Nomattar what Thay were strong. Individualistic. They stifl
are. But instead of developing projects to help them hsip
themselves, the federal government has programmed many
of them Into a reluctant acceptance of the welfare state ana
its demeaning dole. And your tax money pays for it.
Away the Appalachian poor can find tbefr wav back
ipjftl-Tfiesa proud peopie long for the )oy and satisfaction of
maUM their own way through creative, productive work. And
we of the Appalachian Development Fund want to give them
this work once more. Through real lobe that wiH keep the
money right in Appalachia where It’s so desperately needed.
Real Jobe you can help create.
We have enterprising plans. Plans to develop training
programs around Appalachia’s natural resources snd around
the strong taients of Appalachia’s hardcore poor.
Theta plans cover many areas: lumbar, food
production, woodworking andothor crafts; cooptrativs and
community tourist developments. Some of tham are undar
way. Like the Breed end Chicken House Cooperative at Big
Stone Gap, Virginia —a production and marketing venture run
by a muM-redal group of women. And the Sulphur Gap Chair
Factory. This Kant&Ktw plant has brought In 20% more
industrial revenue to Brethitt, Its home county.
With your hoip we’ll assist popple hungry to hoip
themselves and help one another. Simply by distributing funds
to tha community groups that start the work, snd by providing
the saneo of community needed to keep it going.
AH that Appalachia asks is a chance to regain
its nsrftegta
RAPE.

We all are “the Church’ . v
The lotal well-being of our
Church-individually, in the. .
parish, the deanery, the: i.
diocese and beyond,- requires . v
ail of us to recognize our , :
personal responsibility for the
continuation of our faith, a gift i.-,:
of God.
Pastors lead their flock with >■■■
the God given authority of
(heir calling. Just as common .i
sense tell us we should listen
to and follow the advice of our
medical doctor-because he is
better qualified to recommend
on our physical well-being so,
too, our priests have acquired
a particular stale in life to
merit our attention and v
acceptance of their advice for
our spiritual well-being. No
one advocates that the .
medical profession be
governed in medical matters .;
by the patients they treat. ,
Parishioners alone can’t
prescribe the “treatment”
needed to have a spiritually
healthy parish.
The most successful doctor-
patient relationship is one
where the doctor does listen to ,
the patient-hears the
symptoms and then looks for .
the root cause of the,:( ,
complaint. He treats the r
patient, not for symptoms but; ,
Ihe ailment. Cooperative .„
patients trust their doctor,
they have regular “check-.,,,
ups” and enjoy a life with
fewer complaints than those , ^
who wait till th^y are “flat on
their back” before consulting , ^
a physician.
So, we laity in our consilliar .
structure need to have open,)il}1
honest dialogue with our
clergy and religious, if we are , , 4
to enjoy the spiritually sound
health everyone wishes for our
Church.
Each Deanery must come to v ,
see that its health depends on
a healthy Alice, Refugio,
Corpus Christi. and Laredo ,
Deanery; just as any
individual is concerned that
his right and left hands and
legs are all well; recognizing...
that the impairment of any 9
limb makes “the Church”, as
a Diocese, less functional.
Parish Councils work for a *
healthy parish, in concert with
their pastor; parish
representatives to deanery lay
assemblies jointly tackle their r’"'
deanery problems andV!'h
diocesan Pastoral Council is - *
the coresponsible forum of 1!1 ‘
clergy, religious and laity to k‘
work on solutions to diocesan
level problems. We share a
concern for the success of
every level because we all are
mutually interdependent.
