Parish Founded in 1906
Fr. John J. Cahalan was ap
pointed the first pastor in 1905
by Bishop Hartley. Early in the
summer of 1906, Bishop Hartley
and Father Dennis A. Clarke, pas
tor of Holy Family parish at the
Fr. William F. Maloney
time, met with Joseph and Eliza
beth Bopely to determine a site
for the new church.
As a result of this meeting the
land between Midland and Clare
don Avenues on West Broad
Street was purchased. The lot was
150 feet deep.
Thirty-five families were in the
parish limits at this time.
Temporary Church
A temporary church was es
tablished in a storeroom just west
of Claredon Avenue in a store
room and at 9 a.m., August 19,
1906. Father Cahalan celebrated
the first Mass, there.
The cornerstone for th* com
bination school, church end rec
tory was laid on October 28,
1906. The two-story structure
completed th* following year
still stands and houses the

Father Cahalan Retires
In April, 1910, Father Cahalan,
due to serious illness, retired his
pastorate and Father* Rudolph
Schwarz, St. Patrick's Church,
Buchtel, was appointed the new
pastor.
During th* 1913 flood, which
ravaged the lower West Side of
th* city, many people found
refuge at St. Aloysius. Beds
were set up in the school and
the homeless were housed in
the church hall and members of
the parish opened their homes
to the refugees.
As a result of the kindness
shown to Catholics and non
Catholics during the flood, many
families remained in the parish,
making their homes on the Hill
top.
Father Schwarz started a
building fund in 1920 as the par
ish now had more than 350 fam
ilies.
By 1923 the four classrooms
were not enough and Mr. Frank
J. Colburn of the parish com
pleted plans for the school annex
which was to house the additional
classrooms. The annex still stands
today and has been used as a
cafeteria and parish hall.
With the decision to build a
new church, Father Schwarz
aided by his friend, Father
Adalbert Centner, of the Ponti

Lorain Priests
Sanction
Appeals Drive
LORAIN, Ohio—(NC)—Pastors
of the Catholic churches here
have reached an agreement with
officials of the United Fund Ap
peal concerning the allocation of
this year’s funds.
The officials have agreed to re
duce this year’s goal by $40,000.
This was the amount originally
earmarked as a building fund to
construct a Salvation Army cit
adel.
Th* pastors withdrew their
objection to th* allocation of
funds to th* Young Women's
Christian Association after they
were informed the money was
to be used for maintenance and
not for a new structure.
Last week the Lorain Deanery
Committee distributed leaflets
warning parishioners they “could
not properly contribute” to the
fund because to do so would be
“tu recognize forms of religion”
promoted by Protestant organi
zations.
It was pointed out in the
leaflets that a precedent would
be established because in the
past the funds have been used
only for operation and main
tenance and not for construc
tion of new buildings.
The leaflets were distributed,
said leather Vincent O’Day, sec
retary of the priests’ committee,
after letters of objection to the
fund officials were either ignor
ed or not given courteous treat
ment.

Avoid Politics
As Group But
Vote Men Told
WASHINGTON—(NC) In a
message to all its affiliated or
ganizations, the National Council
of Catholic Men has called atten
tion to the Holy Father’s admini
tion to Catholic Action groups
against becoming involved in po
litical controversy.
But at the same time, the
NCCM urged all its affiliates to
remind individual members of
their obligation to register and
vote “as they believe to be the
best interest of their community
and our nation.”
The action was taken at a meet
ing of the executive committee
of the NCCM here.
The text of the message states:
“The executive committee of
the National Council of Catholic
Men, calls upon all affiliates to
be mindful of the admonition of
the Holy Father to Catholic Ac
tion organizations to carefully
avoid involvement in political
controversy and urged all its af
filiates to call the attention of
their members to the obligation
to register and vote as they be
lieve to be the best interest of
their community and our nation.”
The committee also drew up a
tentative program, centered in
the parish, for the NCCM na
tional convention to be held in
Cincinnati from May 10 to 12,
1957.

High School Boys
Need Preparation
For Military Life
BLOOMINGTON. Ill.—(NC)
The need for a moral course to
prepare junior and senior high
school students for military serv
ice was stressed at the annual
High School Institute for the Dio
cese of Peoria held here.
Father John M. Whelan-, a
former U.S. Army chaplain and
now chaplain at the Illinois State
Penitentiary at Pontiac, told
nearly 250 secondary school
teachers that this preparation
would have to be unique.
“The military life is unique.
There is no other way to say it,”
declared Father Whelan, who led
a panel discussion at the one
day meet. Topic of the discussion
was “What Can the Catholic High
School Do To Prepare Boys for
Military Service?”
On the panel with Father Whel
an were Lt. Col. Richard T. Dunn,
a regimental commander in the
Illinois National Guard, and Lt.
Col. Robert A. Strupp, perman
ent Army instructor for the Illin
ois National Guard.
Concordat Impossible
Between Reds, Vatican
FRANKFURT, Germany (NC) A concordat be
tween the Holy See and the Soviet Union is impossible so
long as the U.S.S.R. remains under a communist regime,
Father Gustav Gundlach, S. J., said at a congress of East
European experts and expellees.
Father Gundlach is on the
faculty of th* Papal Gregorian
University at Rome. He is an
advisor to His Holiness Pope
Pius XII, in the field of eco
nomics and social relations.
Local arrangements between
individual dioceses and commun
ist authorities need not be ruled
out on general terms, Father
Gundlach added, if they concern
the needs of the Church. This,
however, would not mean a weak
ening of the Church’s stand
against communism as such, he
added.
If the Holy Father recently
mentioned the possibility of
the Church's adjusting herself
to any kind of civilization, not
only the civilization of the
West, Father Gundlach said,
this does not justify the con-
Talium Est Reanum Caelorum
"The story of St. Vincent's is written in the heart of
every child who needs spiritual or physical care," Bishop
Ready said, at the cornerstone laying for the new St. Vin
cent's orphanage. The Bishop praised the work of the
Diocesan Welfare Bureau and "all who have contributed
their time and money to make this day possible." The
new buildings replace structures built in 1878 and are a
result of a building fund campaign begun in 1953. Fa
ther Lawrence Corcoran, to the Bishop's right and Father
James Kulp, left, diocesan director of the Propagation of
the Faith, assist the Bishop. The cornerstone inscription
"Talium Est Regnum Caelorum" means "Of such is the
Kingdom of Heaven."
elusion that th* Church could
co-exist with communism, for
"communism is not a civiliza
tion."
Father Gundlach concluded his
speech by declaring that the
Church must under all circum
stances seek ways and means to
secure a minimum of the neces
sary requirements for the welfare
of souls. She will, therefore, al
ways seek a “modus vivendi”
with hostile governments in order
to care for those ih need of her
teachings and Sacraments. But
this will not mean a compromise
with communism, he said.
It only means that the Church
will do what ’she has always done
when difficult situations had to

NODL Not “Book Burning”
Group, Priest Says,
But Must Protect Youth
By Msgr. Thome* J. Fitzgerald
Th* euthor is executive secretary of th* National Organi
zation for Decent Literature. His article describes the purj-ose*
and function* of the NODL.
As early as November of 1938 the Catholic Bishops be
came aware of the danger certain magazines could have for
children.
These publications, exploit
ing sex, perversion, horror and
detailed crime, were appearing
in numbers in neighborhood re-
tail outlets where children
could easily purchase them.
To combat this evil influence,
the Bishops established the Na
tional Organization for Decent
Literature. Its purpose is “to or
ganize and set in motion the mor
al' forces of the entire country
against the lascivious type
of literature which threatens mor
al, social and national life.”
When the comic book and pa
perback industry began to pub
lish certain objectionable titles,
these publications were added
to the scope of NODL.
As a service organization,
NODL acts as a clearing house
for ink. nation on activities in
the field of decent literature,
prepares a list of publications
judged objectionable for youth
according to the NODL code and
gathers data on new legislation
against objectionable reading ma
terial. Because the NODL is a
service office, it offers help only
when asked.
To claim that NODL is cre
ating an atmosphere of “book
burning" and "witch-hunting"
certainly is not borne out, as
is shown by the concern re
spected individuals and groups
have voiced over the same
problem.
In April, 1947, J. Edgar Hoov
er, FBI director, said that “high
in the ranks of contributors to
juvenile delinquency are vicious
and unscrupulous peddlers, pro-

Next Thursday at 2 p.m. the second in a ser

Pontiff Says
Pope Breaks Tradition, Talks
To Beatification Rite Crowd
VATICAN CITY—The historical figure of the newly
beatified Pope Innocent XI points out the paths of security,
of peace and of reform to the present age, His Holiness
Pope Pius JII said in a discourse. He spoke during the In-
nocent XI beatification rites.
The present age like that of
Blessed Innocent XI, the Pope
said, “is marked by an urgent
need for a spiritual rebirth, by
the gravity and vital nature of
its disputes, and by dangers
which threaten all.”
The Holy Father's discourse
was given by radio from his
summer residence at Castelgan

Celebrant of the Mass was His
Eminence Eugene Cardinal Tiss

of Cardinals.
While the Holy Father was
not present at the morning cere
mony as he is at canonization
rites, he came to St. Peter’s by
car in the evening for services
which included veneration of the
remains of Blessed Innocent.
The formal elevation of Pope
Innocent to the ranks of the Bfess
ed in the morning was witnessed
by a throng of some 30.000
persons. Included were an offic
ial Austrian delegation headed
by Education Minister Heinrich
Drimme! and Archbishop Franz,
Koenig of Vienna, and a group
of Hungarian exiles. Both groups
came to pay homage to the Pope
who had played a leading rols
in the liberation of their coun
tries from the Turks.
After all were seated, the cere
mony began simply, with the
reading of the Brief of Beatifica
tion. When this was finished, Car

Deum, which was taken up by
the basilica choir and the attend
ing clergy.
Simultaneously, the basilica
burst into a flood of light as

were switched on, and the or
