cards for the Council will be Civ
en- out.
The Young Adult Council was
formed during Catholic Youth
Week of this year as a means of
bringing about a better organized
program for young people of the
Deanery. The Council at the pres
ent time federates parish organi-
cations that already exist and
makes available a listing of their
programs for the young people of
the city. Also included on the coun-
ell are representatives for volun-
tary districts of the city who will
work to plan a program of activi-
ty for the young people of the par
ishes who are not members Of an
organized youth group. 1t is hoped
that through this method more of
the young adults will take an ac-
tive part in the existing organiza-
