World Youth Day

totality — human life, divine life, life as seen in nature,”
said the cardinal.
He said probable life themes to be explored were pov-
erty, lack of freedom, violence, and the “culture of death.”
He said the discussion would likely spill over into the
World Youth Day event, which Pope John Paul is to attend.
“We would like many Latin American young people to
come to Denver. There is much enthusiasm in Latin
America because the youth there have already experienced
the benefits" of past World Youth Day celebrations, said
the cardinal, a native of Argentina. World Youth Day was
held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1987.
Cardinal Pironio made the comments during a visit to
Washington in preparation for World Youth Day.
The cardinal said this year’s celebration would have
certain “very special characteristics” because of its U.S.
venue.
During World Youth Day celebrations—which are held
in a different country every two years — “we insist on
pilgrimages,” he said. "But pilgrimages, a tradition in
many other countries, are not a tradition in the United
States,” he said.
Since no major shrine was to be found in the Denver area,
he said, the decision was made to “make a pi Igrimagc to the
secular city” and march through downtown Denver.
The pilgrimage will be a chance to “find the heart of
modem man and proclaim Jesus Christ,” he said.
Given the fact that unlike previous sites of World Youth
Day — Poland, Spain and Argentina — the United States
is not a predominantly Catholic country, “there will be a
necessary ecumenical dimension” to this World Youth
Day, the cardinal said.
He said representatives of various Protestant faiths and
Judaism had accepted invitations to participate in theevent
“with enthusiasm."
Cardinal Pironio said U.S. Hispanic young people would
play an important role during the youth event because they
would serve as a I ink between U.S. young people and Latin
American youth.
He said U.S. Hispanics express “the native richness of
their Hispanic culture as seen in their joy of living and
expansiveness, but also the richness of the U.S. culture.”
Cardinal Pironio said many people have mistaken ideas
about today’s youth.
“They are normal, happy people. They want to celebrate
life, to sing, they have a goiod sense of celebration. They
want to participate in the building of society,” he said.
“They search for God and long for reflection and prayer,”
he said.
He said young people don’t like to be told: “ ‘ You are the
hope of the church. Pretty soon it will be your turn.’ They
want to participate now.” t
Kirkpatrick raises funds for Radiation Center
CORPUS CHRISTI-Dr. Jcane
Kirkpatrick, former U.S. Ambas-
sador to the United Nations and
Cabinet member, was the speaker
for the 1993 Spohn Hospital-South
Texas Lyceum on Wednesday,
March 31, at the Marriott Bayfront
Hotel. Dr. Kirkpatrick was the fifth
speaker for the Lyceum which ben-
efits the Spohn Hospital Radiation
Therapy Center. This year, over a
million dollars has been raised for
the Radiation Therapy Center.
Dr. Kirkpatrick was the first
woman to serve in the office of U.S.
A mbassador to the U .N. After serv-
ing more than four years, she re-

fix up,” said Medina. “But we
couldn’t even afford that.”
The couple said.they didn’t mind
that they had no part in choosi ng the
house that would become their home.
“We had faith in the Sisters,” said
Medina. “Their good will has al-
ways been to help us.”
Since 1986, the Pax Christi Insti-
tute has presented 11 similar houses
to families in the area. “We present
the house, we do not give it away,"
said Mother Santoyo. “To give
something is a handout. Handouts
perpetuate problems and make no
actual impact on lives.”
She said that referrals are usually
made by pastors and followed-up by
an initial visit from Pax Christi Sis-
ter Mary Elva Reyes, who holds a
master’s degree in social work. Sis-
ter Reyesassesses the families’ spiri-
tual and social needs, said Mother
Santoyo. Subsequent visits provide
sufficient information to develop a

“We welcome the creation of an international wat

democracy and basic human and minority rights
The U.S. government should help Croatia and oi
nations “particularly burdened by the enormous reft
crisis created by this war,” the bishops said.
“The religious community must remain indefatigabl
promoting personal and social healing in every way po>
sible,” according to the statement.
“Reconciliation is the only firm foundation forallowir.
the peoples of the former Y ugoslavia to live togetheragt
in justice and peace.”
The bishops urged Catholics to contribute to Cathol
Relief Services, the Catholic Near East Welfare Assoct
lion and their own Office to Aid the Catholic Churchi
Eastern Europe to “deepen and multiply bonds of solid!
ity with the suffering peoples and persecuted rcligiot
communities of the region.”
They also urged prayer as “essential in overcoming ll
horrifying evil that has been unleased in the Balkans."

parents and the children arc still young,” she continue
and added that they should also have the basic skills tlu
