In his letter to the clergy, Re
ligious and laity of his See, the
Bishop recalled that since Catholic
schools are private institutions,
they are not subject to the Supreme
Court decision of last May which
declared race segregation in the
public schools unconstitutional.
This being the case" he said.
"some people have thought that
Catholic schools will choose to
continue the practice of racial seq
regation.
''This is a mistaken idea. 1t is
contrary to the traditional practice
of the Church. In places where seq
regation is enforced by law or Gus
tom, the Church simply does the
best she can by trying to provide
separate churches and schools for
the different races"
Bishop Fletcher then went on to
cay: 81
But now the highest civil
court in the land has Judged
segregation in public schools 10
be unconstitutional. This decision
clears the way legally for fhe
Church TO act more freely in
giving TO ell races the same ben
efits she is able to provide for
the practice of their holy reIig-
ion.
Everyone realizes that it is prac-
tically impossible for such change
to be made effective Immediately
in all places. To attempt such a
thing would be the height of folly.
Such action is not desired by TIE
vast majority of the members of
either race.
ut is especially urgent. however,
that Catholic Negro children be adj
mitted to any Catholic school avail
able in places where there is no
Catholic school especially for
them.
"Hence every reasonable effort

this critical time Of adjustment, it
will be necessary TO exercise pa
tience, understanding and Chris
tian charity in order to obtain
satisfactory solution"
The Bishop, himself a native of
Little Rock, prefaced his announce
ment by saying that while specula-
ton is unnecessary, Il believe that
it is generally admitted that deseg-
regation in public schools will be
accomplished in a comparatively
short time"
In concluding, he SAID:
"As you will notice from the
contents of this letter, there is
nothing to get excited about. | am
merely outlining what has been
the constant teaching of the Church
and ] am asking your cooperation
in working earnestly to take advan-
tage of the opportunity given us
by the recent Supreme Court deci-
sion to make available equally to
all races the benefits which the
Church is able to provide for the
salvation of immortal souls.
Finally, let me remind some
Catholics that persons of every
race, creed and nation should
be made TO feel at home in every
Catholic church. Every Catholic
church is Gods house, not only
because il is dedicated to Him;
not only because we pray and
sing there in His honor; not even
because we hear His gospel
preached there. Every Catholic
church is Gods house in more
personal wsy-if is where He
dweIis, body and soul in the
Blessed Sacrament. He is the Host
we are His guests
"All are His, not our, invited
guests. Anyone who is good enough
for Him to invite. certainly ought
to be good enough for us to ac-
cept. His Church, you know, is Ca
tholic."

They will be ready for diStribu-

chairman of the special liturgicaI
committee that worked out the
proposal submitted to the Holy See
last November and which has not
been largely approved.
Archbishop Edwin V. O'Hara,
Bishop of Kansas City, who head
ed the large body of scholars and
consultants that has studied the
matter for several years, said the
new permission represents "a very
generous grant" by the Holy See.
When the new texts are ready,
he added, il is reasonable 10
assume that the new usage will
be adopted in virtually every d.
oeese of fhe United States, since
the request TO Rome was SUBJ

Bishops and all had assented TO

Tuesday night of next week

men will be present to help plan
to accomplish some much needed
tasks for the church.
The District Board members
held a meeting at Flower Hill
last Friday and reviewed the
program and possibilities of the
church at Flower Hill. The meet.
ing was much enjoyed from every
standpoint and the board much
encouraged by what they found
at Flower Hill.
1t has come to our attention
that people moving into our com.
munity, and into the newer pro-
jects feel lonesome in their new
surroundings. The church, any
church, has neucleus of friends
for any newcomer to claim and
we suggest that they try to find
them there. Humbly, we say that
there is real welcome and fell
lowship at Flower Hill. Just try
it.
