Clark, called \a few days away from the kids, not a retreat in the old sense of the word.\ One of the organizers of the retreat, Mrs. Ruby King, said it was planned \only because we feel black Catholics are not participating in the church.\ \They think they are not welcome.\ she said. \We thought the retreat would be a chance to talk . things over, be together, even though it was only tftr.ee days.\ . - , • • -' „ . \We believed black people would speak much more freely if they were not concerned about what othr people, who hadn't gone through the same ex- periences, were thinking,\ Father Clark said. In addition to the 19 couples, two Negxo Ca- puchin priests, two Negro nuns and a black Jesuit brother were on hand.

The convention will be held here Sept. 4-8_ The theme of the conveen- tion, \In the Midst of tBe World.\' itself strikes an mn- sistent note voiced by the new generation of young German Catholics that plays upon t»e idea of the Church's growlwg concern for humanity. The convention may waell prove to ho a symbol aaid synthesis of this country's Catholic pluralism which tnc- gan to manifest itself aft^cr World War II. supplanting the former monolithic slrujc- ture of German Catholic lifcfc.

It is no secret that two years ago a t the last Cathio- lic convention, in Bamberg, discussions on birth control were more frank and diver- gent than even the wide- spread dissenting reaction that has greeted Humanae Vitae.

Each group took a particu- lar subject and researched it. At the close of the program, they presented the results in a multi-media presentation which included simultaneous use of films, recordings and slides, the majority of which were home-made. One group chose the theme of \celebra- tion\ and planned the Aug. 6 graduation festivities as their presentation. The celebration began with each person receiving a pair of colored paper glasses, with the frame of each lens shaped as a heart. Upon entering the room—festooned with posters, films and decorations echoing the theme of the celebration of life—each person received a large cardboard piece of a puzzle. The object was to find others with parts of the same puzzle and cooperate in put- ting it together. The idea—like the concept of adults tossing about bal- loons, popcorn and crepe paper — may sound gimmicky or childish. However, by the end of ten minutes, partici- pants at the graduation — whether members of the in- stitute or visitors—were fully involved, and the usual stiff- ness of graduation was com- pletely gone. The graduates received their certificates^—awarded by Msgr. Russell Neighbor, na- tional CCD director. At the close of the program, everyone stood in a circle holding hands and singing. Some persons held sparklers while others dimmed the lights and sang \Shalom a haunting melody about peace and human understanding. \ w 1 Breeding has a lot to do with il. mink from Bernctrd Held's AUGUST TUR SALE The finest bred mirik, sklHled crrctftsraanship. superb fashioning... cdl acid up Ho mlnik in the Bernard Held tradition.
