Two beautiful new churches in the Diocese of Dallas pictured above are St. Mary's Church.
Henrietta, (top proto), and St. Thomas Aquinas Church, Pilot Point, (lower photo). St. Mary's with
the beautifully furnished parish house to the left is the fruit of the zeal of its youthful and energetic
pastor, Father John Mifchel,!, a priest only 3 years. Valued at some $00,000, the-new St. Mary's Church
and the rectory, under Father Mitchell's direction and with the assistance of much donated labor,
was erected for $37,000. It replaces what wqa the diocese's most run down mission church. On May
7, 1950 His Excellency, Bishop Danglmayr, dedicated the new parish plant. The beautiful Pilot Point
church in the lower photo also represents the fruit of the zeal of an able pastor, Father Charcut.
Through the cooperation of the fine rural people of his parish Father was able to build a $125,000
church for an estimated $87,000. Now he Is building a modern parochial school. JEFFEItSONIAN staff

E. ROOSEVELT ENTERS
FOURTH CIVIL UNION;
DISGRACE TO AMERICA
Key West, Fla. — Elliot Roose-
velt. son of the late Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt and a Mrs. Ross re-
cently t:ok each other here for
better or for worse "until div-
orce do us part." To add some
respectability to the fourth trip
which each was taking to the
"altar" the civil judge who offi-
ciated read the ceremony out of
the Book of Common Prayer, the
Episcopal 'Church's official rit-
ual.
COMMENT: Jesus Christ,
Savior of the world, is quoted in
the Protestant Bible as follows:
"And he saith unto them, who-
soever shall put away hlg wife,
and marry another, commltteth
adultery." — St. Mark 10:11-12.
With the revolution in the 16th
century came the interpretation
of the Holy Scripture to suit the
private interpreter. The Catholic
Church for 1600 years before had
interpreted Jesus Christ to mean
every word 01 the above. Ac-
cordingly in the 1530's she re-
frsed her King Henry VIII a
divorce and her King Henry got-
mad, quit, married 6 times' and
established an independent
Church In England.
Followers of the Protestant
movement begun by Luther,
Henry, Calvin, Knox and other
ex-Catholic priests and laymen
today have widened the road to
Heaven so that adulterers can
ride on it. On the basis of one
little phrase in one of tha
many texts referring to divorce
many of these private interpret-
ers say that infidelity permits I
remarriage. Since every marriage

Laetare Medal
Notre Dame. Ind.— The 1951
Laetare Medal, an award given
annually by the University of
Notre Dame to an outstanding
American Catholic layman, has
been presented here to John
Henry Phelan, Beaumont, Texas,
business executive and friend of
many Catholic missionary causes,
Including the mission chapel of
Our Lady of Fatima at Dalnger-
field, Texas.
In announcing Mr. Phelan's se-
lection as America's most out-
standing layyman for '51, Father
Cavanaugh, president of Notre
Dame, said:
DAILY COMMUNICANT
"Mr. Phelan is an outstanding
example of a sucessful business
executive who is humbly devoted
to his Faith. Throughout his
career, Mr. Phelan has shared
his material wealth with the
Catholic Church, not only toward
the construction of new churches
throughout the nation, but toward
the development and upkeep of
struggling parishes In small com-
munities. In addition to his con-
tributions to the Church, Mr.
Phelan and his family are daily
communicants and exemplary
communicants and exemplary
members of the Catholic Faith."
Conservative estimates place
the donations of the Phelan fam-
ily to Catholic missions in ex-
cess of $1,000,000. A special hob-
by of Mr. Phelan is the donation
of altars in mission churches.
$1200 TO OUR MISSION
Many months ago Mr. Phelan
promised the sum of $1,000 for
the altar in the chapel now un-
der construction as a shrine for
Our Lady of Fatima. When he
was informed of the grave finan-
cial difficulties in paying for the
building itself, Mr. Phelan con-
sented to have his donation used
for the chapel itself. Under
date of Feb. 25, 1951 he forward-
ed a check to Our Lady of Fa-
tima in the amount of $1200.
Needless to say, the check gave
a considerable boost to the cam-
paign atlli going on to complete
the fund necessary to pay for a
$20,000 church.
HELPED NEGROES
One of the best examples of
the real Catholicity behind the
Phelan benefactions is the large
contribution made by the Phel-
an family to build a Catholic
hospital for the underprivileged
Negro people of Beaumont.
In receiving the 1951 Laetare
Medal Mr. Phelan joins the ranks
of 69 great U. S. Catholic lay-
men who have received the
award. Last year's medal was
given to General J. Lawton Col-
lins, Chief of Staff of the U.S.
Army. One of the' moBt beloved
and most famous laymen to re-
ceive the award was the late
Alfred E. Smith, who despite the
bigotry of the 1928 election, nev-
er gave up his faith though it
might have won for him the
highest office in the land.
breaks up because of infidelity
with few exceptions, then Jesus
Christ wasted His time above
talking about people committing
adultery by marrying again.
Actually the Savior meant every
word He spoke, and Christians
for 1600 years were right In fol-
lowing the Historic Church's
view on the subject. How much
better off our country would 'be
if the Roosevelt children were
not such a tragic symbol of the
moral quicksand upon which all
too many Americans are estab-
lishing our future.
