Final phase. of Renewal '69 ends tonight
viewpoints from the pulpit and the pew
1111 MI
Clergy says: A success 'Story
Renewal '69 has come to
Wingham and Brussels. The
services began in all the Cath-,
olic churches of the area Sun-
day morning. The dosing ser-
vice will be held today. From
all reports Renewal '69 has been
a great success. The preach-
ing has been informativeand
inspiring; attendance has been
outstanding; enthusiasm has
been running high.
Renewal '69, as the posters
said, 'was meant to help Catho-
lics renew their faith, and so
the topics for Sunday and Mon-
day were: 1. The Christian
Idea of God, 2. , The Purpose
of Life, 3. Christian Faith To-
day, 4. The Importance of
Prayer.
However, Eenewal ' was
also intended to encourage peo-
ple to practise their faith out-
side the church, in everyday
living. Thus, the topics for
Tuesday and Wednesday were:
1. Christian Family Life, 2.
The Parish is family, 3. The
Duty of Christians to Better the
World., 4. The Need of Liter-
ary for Inspiration and Help.
Today'Renewal '69 will end
on a note of hope, with con-
fidence in God. Christians are
to go forth to bring Christto
the world and the world to Christ
For many the most exciting
part of Renewal '69 was the
discussion period that followed
every service. Everyone had
an opportunity to ask questions
of the preacher, Father Viggiano,
express their opinions and make
known their disagreements.
On Tuesday a' panel 'of teen-
agers conducted the discussion
period. The young adults were
asked questions by the assembly
about education, obedience in
the home, etc. This was an
attempt to bridge the genera-
tion gap, to allow both sides to
express their ideas, to bring
some understanding to all.
As Father Viggiano stated:
"With understanding come s
love; And with love conies
peace. Peace in the heart of
man. peace in the family,
peace in society, peace in the
world. "
That, /finally, is the purpose
of Renewal '69 --to bring the
peace of Christ into a world
torn apart by disagreement,
prejudice, hostility and vio-
lence.
Parishioner says: Refreshing
Renewal '69 is creating a
great impact on the people of
Sacred 'Heart Parish. This week,
the final or preaching stage of
Bishop Carter's program, Re-
newal '69, is taking place .
This preaching stage consists of
instruction based on the reports
of the reflection groups which
met before Christmas. Discus-
sion periods follow each talk.
Father Louis Viggiano, M S. C.
of New York, a member of the
Sacred Heart Missionaries, is
the preacher.
Reform, updating , or re-
newal in the Church was achiev-
ed by Vatican Council II. How-
ever, there can be no true re-
newal unless it is brought to the
local level, that is unless there
is a renewal in the minds and
hearts of the individual. This
is essentially what is being
achieved this week in the parish
and -will continue to do so.
.Christ and His message is being
presented to each person in a
relevant way so that each indi-
vidual will be able to respond
in an intelligent way to the
Christian message of our time.
Each person is given an oppor-
tunity to renew and deepen his
faith and is shown the challenge
and 'responsibility of the Christ-
ian in our time. The renewed
Catholic will not only be con-
cerned with his own personal
sanctity but, idaddition, he
will become more dynamic thin,
he was beforehand, more so-
cially conscious, rnore aware
of his responsibility as a mem-
i ber of God's greathuman fam-
ily.
The striking feature of Re-
.; newal '69 is that of refreshment,
happiness and joy in the hearts
of the people.
The laity is greatly indebted
to Bishop Emmett C a r t e r of
London for his prompt action in
instigating our personal renew-
al following Vatican It. We
must express our deepest grata.
tude to Father Viggiano for
guiding us in this great historic
event.
The last of Father Vi ;,, iano's
,sermons, •"It's Good To Be
Alive ", will be pteached this
evening (Thursday) at 8:00 o'-
clock in Sacred Heart. Church.
A warm welcome is extended
to all peons in this commun-
ity who etre interested in the
spirit of renewal. •
