Fr. Schaefer
Announces
Retirement
Father Julian J. Schaefer has
resigned as pastor of Saint Mkry
Parish, l^ncaster, effective June
3 it was announced by the Chan
cery during the past week.
This decision was reached by
Father Schaefer after a long
siege of illness. Following a per
iod of recuperation for his health,
he will take up duties at Saint
AJoysius Academy, New I^exing
ton. where he will act as chaplain.
In his letter to Father Schaefer
accepting his resignation, Bishop
.A,
Father Schaefer
Ready expressed his deep regret
that his zealous pastoral care had
been impeded by failing health
and commended him for the de
voted service he had given the
Church of Columbus.
"I am happy to commend you
a* a faithful pastor after the
model of the Good Shopherd. I
am well acquainted with your
devoted priestly work in Buch
tel, Sugar Grove and at Saint
Dominic's, Columbus. But I
make bold to say that the true
flowering of your pastoral work
was at Saint Mary's. Lancaster.
Under your direction and plan
ning, Saint Mary's witnessed
not merely a notable renovation
of Church, school and convent,
but even more important, a
great spiritual surge and ed
ifying renewal in its Catholic
life. Saint Mary's Parishioners
have always given evidence of
a fine loyalty to the Church
and under your zealous shep
herding they have reached new
records of spiritual and mater
ial achievements.
"May God reward yo" —:ux
many consolations in the h»s
burdensome years ahead. I
know I voice the prayerful hope
of all your Reverend Brothers
in the Sacred Priesthood of this
Church of Columbus, that you
may find the peace and joy of
many more years in Our Lord's
service."
With his departure from Lan
caster, Father Schaefer completes
eight years as pastor of Saint
Mary Parish there. Following his
ordination in 1926, he served a
short time as a chaplain at Saint
Francis hospital, Columbus.
Father Schaefer then served as
pastor of Saint Patrick Church,
Buchtel until 1929 Saint Jos
eph's, Sugar Grove, 1929-1934

WASHINGTON "Frankly,
up to the present time we have
seen no evidences of communist
infiltration into Catholic organi
zations in the South.”
The opinion comes from Father
Maurice V. Shean, C.O.. general
chairman of the Catholic Com
mittee of the South, which is ded
icated to developing Christian
life and institutions in rural life,
industrial relations, racial rela
tions, youth and other fields
throughout the southland
Father Shean said that ‘it was
possible some infiltration may
have been accomplished in a very
subtle sort of way in the middle
of this desegregation issue.”
He acknowledged that there
is "strong difference of opin
ion and tome violent words
have been uttered by some
Catholics in parts of Louisiana
and other parts of the South"
over the desegregation issue.
“But at the same time.” Father
Shean said, "we need to be con
scious of the fact that there are
many people who are not com
munists but who are saying the
same things about the question
nf desegregation
"On the other hand," Father
Shean said, "I have been per
sonally tempted on several oc
casions to draw up a little es
say to show that some of the
action* of some of our political
leaders end some of their pro
nouncements are actually car
rying out the Communist Party
lines very beautifully, by caus
ing confusion between the peo
ple and the eburts."
