The norms for the Marian year were outlined at a May 8 Vatican press conference by Italian Cardi- nal Luigi Dadaglio, president of the Central Committee for the Marian Year. The Marian year begins Pentecost Sunday, June 7, and ends August IS, 1988, the feast of the Assumption. Pope thanks mission donors Vatican City — Pope John Paul II expressed thanks for Catholics who have contributed, oftenViasUence and anonyrh- missionary efforts. The pope said the costs of educating seniinarians, priests, and m^ and women religious had shown particular • increases throughout the world, and thanked officials of the Church's mission aid societies for their \zeal\ in promoting contributions.

New York — Tom Wolfe, the cultural critic, said in the John Courtney Murray lecture May 7 that art has become the religion of the educated classes. \I'm not using the word 'religion' metaphorically,\ he said. \Art has literally replaced re- ligion.\ The lecture honoring Father Mur- ray, the noted Jesuit theologian and ecumenist who died in 1967, is presented each year in New York under the auspices of the Jesuit community that publishes. America magazine. Bill faces Catholic opposition Washington — The Catholic Health Association \would be forced to oppose\ a controversial civil rights bill if the legisla- tion is not amended so that it will no longer require hospitals to offer abortion services, an association executive stated in a letter to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass. William J. Cox, vice president of the health association's division of government services, told Kennedy that the association would like to support the Civil Rights Restoration Act, but is concerned about several of-the bill's aspects, including its abortion ramifications. Photograph sparks furor Boston — The president of a parish Holy Name Society in Salem, Mass., resigned after his anti-Semitic activities provoked heated criticism when his picture appeared in the archdiocesan newspaper. Jozef Mlot-Mrpz became the focus of con- troversy after The Pilot, archdiocesan newspaper of Boston, published a photo- graplLxSNah awards ceremony of the St. John the Baptist Parish Holy Name Soci- ety, .; headed , by Mlot^Mroz. For years Mlot-Mroz has been the president; of a group that claims that the Jewish people are responsible for the advance of world communism. Church group challenged by By Teresa A. Parsons Earlier this month, a Salvadoran man walked into Rochester's Downtown United Presbyterian Church looking for someone to help him go to Canada. He told Isabel Morrison, a staff member at the church, that his employer had fired him in anticipation of the U.S. Immigration Reform and Control Act. As of May. 5, the law holds employers responsible for verifying the legal status of their employees. The man had no money —.just the name of a minister whom he heard would help. At the time, all Morrison could do was give him some money and directions to the border. But Morrison is now;b^to prepar^to handle the next such case slw encotmfcrs./7 ' : '•-j'yjfigfcAaB: fe^^fey * ^SiS'ir\''\' ^\^ J - SSf> •»;-••» oiffer^/b^&e 4 j ;We^3 , dr)f _„_ _„„,., . skM^ePj^^Ui^d>.i^Westehi New^afe'% Immigration Action Coalition. '''\\' '•Now I've learned that the employer should\ not have fired him ... and that I should have gotten him some counseling to determine if he would have been eligible for legalization;' she said. \The law does protect any employee from discrimination\ Since last November, when Congress passed legislation that transformed the nation's im- migration laws, members of the groups that form the immigration action coalition — in- cluding Social Ministry of the Diocese of Rochester, the Genesee Valley Office of Social Ministry, the Catholic Family Center and the Rochester Sanctuary Committee — have been preparing to implement the legalization process locally. But Morrison and many of the other 60 people who attended the legalization work- shop on May 5 got their first look at the law's complex regulations on the same day those regulations went into effect. The Immigration, and Naturalization Service (INS) released its guidelines less than a week earlier. Under the new legislation, undocumented aliens who have lived continuously in the United States since January 1, 1982, or who have worked for at least 90 days in seasonal agriculture between May 1, 1985 and May 1, Jeff Goulding/Courier-Joumal MOTHER'S DAY BOUQUET — On Sunday. May 10,20-month-old Jameka Scrivens proffers a daisy nosegay to a cousin, Sharron Lofton-Bowen of Rochester.

Different categories of legal status are avail- able, depending on whether the applicant is a Cuban/Haitian entrant, a seasonal worker or a general entrant. Most illegal aliens have one year from May 5 in which to apply for legalization. Persons under \show cause\ or deportation orders, however, must file applications by June 4, 1987, or lose their eligiblity. w^j^Btwbes can help legalization can to the regional offices of nmwtry at (315)789-26*6 or <ifiWj73*-97*4 ortotheCathohcFamilv Ceater at ike number given above The Catholic Family Center also nhinluifi to help apphcants track the aecessar locumeniation fan LOOKS of utility tills fa aflhdmU f i tmpk>\er<; and |b Jal^pffer »etp call Jim at {7141546-^20 are als i needed not only the costs of staff time but else to provide dme *l o don t qualifv |or legalization with food shelter jWfil anil In m HI i CaUCatholii JUBh/ Caster or any of the regional §Htt of saoal ministry for more & *. ».r .^v ^•+• ,-*• i A.\. The new law also requires all employers, in- cluding the Diocese of Rochester and every parish- and church-sponsored agency with three or more employees, to file a vertification of legal status for every employee hired after November 1, 1986. As soon as employment forms are available, Mary Kessler, diocesan director of personnel services, plans to send them to pastors and other diocesan employers, along with a letter outlining their responsibilities. Kessler will also recommend that diocesan or parish employees who are in the United States illegally, or who don't have documen- tation for their legal status, should consult with staff at the Catholic Family Center. Before the year is over, an estimated 700 to 1,000 people are expected to apply for legali- zation locally, according to Gregory Zuroski, issues coordinator for the Diocesan Office of Social Ministry. He expects the majority of those local applicants to be migrant workers in the regions of Wayne, western. Monroe, Orleans and Livingston counties. Particularly in urban areas, however, sizeable numbers of aliens from Central America, Mexico, Poland, Ethiopia and even Ireland are also expected to qualify. Because illegal alients of any nationality tend to be deeply suspicious of thelNS, church and community agencies across the country are serving as intermediaries or \qualified desig- nated entities!'
