Democrats Plank
By Burk* Welsh
(Staff Writer, N.C.W.C. N*ws Service)
CHICAGO Legislation providing health and welfare
services “for all school children’’ is advocated in the plat
form on which the Democratic Party will stand before the
electorate in November.
This is the first time that a major party has spelled
out insistence that public funds
should be used to give health ex
aminations, free bus transporta
tion and the like to children re
gardless of whether they attend a
public, private or parochial
school.
The stand is taken in a plan nn
“general welfare.” which reads
in part as follows:
“We pledge the Democratic
Party to the following:
“(1) Legislation providing Fed
eral financing to assist states and
local o u n i ties to huild
schools, and to provide essential
health and safety services for all
school children
“(2) Better educational, health
and welfare opportunities for
children of migratory workers
“(3) Assistance to programs for
training teachers of exceptional
children
“(4) Programs providing for
the training of teachers to meet
lhe critical shortage in technical
and scientific fields
“(5) Expansion of the program
of student, teacher and cultural
exchange with other nations.”

Ground was broken for the
buildings July 13, 1955, and the
total project is to be finished
during 1957. Bright colors have
been used in all rooms with wall
colors, drapes, furniture and
floor tile combined in harmony.

Women Make
Final Vows
Three women from the Colum
bus Diocese made their perpetual
vows as Franciscan Sisters in
ceremonies on August 12 at the
chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes,
Rochester, Minnesota.
Bishop Edward A. Fitzgerald,
D.D., Bishop of Winona, celebrat
ed the Mass, officiated at the
ceremonies, and preached the
sermon on the occasion of recep
tion and profession. Mother M.
Alcuin McCarthy, General Super
ior of the Rochester Franciscans,
invested the postulants in the re
ligious habit.
Those from the diocese were
Sister M. Rosemary, the former

of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick J. Grif
fin, 161 Edison Ave., Circleville
Sister M. Sarto, the former June
Kaiser, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Louis F. Kaiser, 218 S. Roosevelt
Ave., Columbus and Sister M.
Madonna, the former Mary Eileen
Tannian, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. James K. Tannian, 1833 Vin
ton Ave., Portsmouth.
Sister Sarto, a graduate of
Rosary high school and a member
of St. Catharine parish, will be
a member of the staff of Lourdes
high school, Rochester, Minne
sota. Sister Rosemary, a graduate
of St. Mary of the Springs Acad
emy and a former member of St.
Joseph parish, Circleville, will
teach this year at St. Priscilla
school, Chicago. Sister Rosemary's
brother, Father Patrick Griffin, is
administrator of Our Lady of Sor
rows parish, Lockbourne, while
three sisters are also in the re
ligious life. They are Sisters El
len Patricia, O.P., and Patrick
Marie, O.P., of St. Mary of the
Springs, and Sister M. Rose of
The Franciscan Sisters, Roches
ter, Minnesota.
Sister Madonna was graduated
from Notre Dame high school,
Portsmouth, and was a member
of Holy Redeemer parish in that
city. She will teach at Holy Re
deemer grade school this coming
year. Sister Madonna has a sis

In the same plank,
promises to “increase

tutions and organizations and
qualified private charitable agen
cies.’’ and to “increase the dis
tribution of food and fiber to
needy people in other nations
through recognized charitable
and religious channels.”
It is a special joy to announce the foundation ef a new
religious Community in th* Diocese of Columbus. August 27th
five Sister* of Saint Joseph will begin the holy work of found
ing a Motherhouse of the Order at Villa Madonna, th* erst
while "White House," on Meadow Park Avenue adjacent to the
campus of Saint Charles Seminary, Columbus.
The coming of the Sister* of Saint Joseph to begin this work
is the reward of many years of prayer, planning, and effort.
W* return our fervent thank* to God for so singularly blessing
th* Diocese and w* petition Him, through the powerful in
tercession of Saint Joseph, that the foundation may prosper
and take its piece among th* blessed institution* of the Diocese.
In the past recent years several young ladies from parishes
of the Diocese of Columbus expressed their desire to enter
th* religious life in order to serve the apostolic works of this
Diocese. We do not have in this jurisdiction, beside* the clois
tered communities in Columbus and Portsmouth, any commun
ity of Sisters dedicated exclusively to Diocesan service. Accord
ingly, with the kind and fatherly interest of the illustrious
Bishop of Erie, Archbishop Gannon, arrangements were made
to entrust the postulants from Columbus to th* Sister* of Saint
Joseph in that city. The young ladies persevered in their relig
ious desire and were received as professed Sister* for th*‘pro
pose^ foundation in Columbus. At th* completion of their relig
ious training they were prepared for the teaching apostolat*.
They now return home to establish what was first dreamed
about—a Motherhouse for th* Sisters of Saint Joseph In Co
lumbus. They will be accompanied by two senior Sister* from
the Erie Motherhouse who for a time will aid and supervise
the foundation.
We are deeply grateful to Mother Aloys* and the Domin
ican Sisters of Saint Mary of th* Spring* who gladly offered
to help the new Community by providing further teaching ex
perience for them at Holy Spirit School, Columbus.
That is th* story in simple terms of what we pray will
in future year a magnificent endowment for th* Diocese
Columbus. No one can foretell th* influence of th* Sisters
Saint Joseph in the fields of religion, education and welfare
among our people. Wherever the Sister* of Saint Joseph have
been established they have merited by their sanctity and zeal
the abundant blessings of th* Lord on their multiple activity in
the care of youth, the sick, the aged and the orphans. They
stand a* ready volunteers to help th* Bishop and Clergy of the
Diocese in fulfilling their sacred trust of building up and caring
for the Church in th* portion of the Kingdom of God committed
to their charge. In behalf of our Priest* and Faithful we welcome
them with grateful hearts. Certainly we bespeak for the Sister*
of Saint Joseph of th* Columbus Foundation the affection and
support of the faithful of th* Diocese.
The Sister* of the various congregations, who have so long
and so faithfully engaged in Christ's work her* will rocognize
the pioneer courage and many needs of th* little band of Jose
phites who come hopefully to serve with them in the glorious
tasks of Holy Mother Church. We trust in their well known
charity towards the Sisters and their constant helpfulness in
making the beginnings pleasant if not easy.
The rest is in th* hands of God who is never, wanting in
His grace. We beseech the support of all towards the success
of this great venture for th* honor and glory of God. We recog
nize th* sacrifice and kindness of Mother Aurelia and th* Sisters
of Saint Joseph of Erie toward* th* Church of Columbus.
They shall be forever remembered a* generous benefactors of
the Diocese, and we pray that they will rejoice in the holy
lives and good works of their Sisters her*.
May Jesus, Mary and Joseph watch constantly over th* work
which is here begun in love to them.
