March 15 will be an in­ troduction to inner healing with March 22 covering the roots of problems and some of the hindrances encountered. Although each session is an entity in itself, attending both sessions are said to give a better over-all understanding of inner healing.

They also train and equip pastors and other church leaders in establishing Christ- centered healing-counseling teams within their church or prayer group.

St. Patrick Parish is one of three in the Rockford Diocese to be nominated to participate in nationwide study of outstanding religious education programs for children and youth. The others are St. Patrick in St. Charles and Sacred Heart in Sterling. They were chosen by area directors of religious education (DREs) in consultation with the diocesan Department of Catechesis, according to Sister Grace M. Andrews, OP, diocesan Director of Catechesis. The nominations will be forwarded to the National Catholic Education Association, which will select 150 parishes from arond the nation to study. But being nominated at the diocesan level is a distinction itself considering the extensive criteria considered in making the selections. "Since this is a subjective matter," Sister Grace ex-v plained, "careful consideration was given to a wide range of criteria provided by the Department of Religious Education^ of the National Catholic Education Association, which is sponsoring the project. "The study is an attempt to expand our knowledge about the effectiveness of religious education in the parish context. She said factors considered in the nomination process in­ cluded : ...the extent to Which families are involved in religious education; ...support from the pastoral team; ...the degree to which the parish sees education as for everyone, not just children; ...the overall awareness of social justice issues in the program; ..the parish's ability to recruit excellent teachers and keep them involved: ...the parish's overall ap­ proach toward children and youth at various age levels; and, ...the extent to which the parishdevelopsa "peacemaking" perspective as encouraged by the pastoral letter of the American bishops. The NCEA study is one of several projects being sup­ ported by the Father Michael J. Mc Givney Memorial Fund for New Initiatives in Catholic Education. < The two-year project consists of two stages. In the first, 150 parishes will be selected from those nominated to be the subject of a mail study. Of those 150, 30 parishes will be visited by research teams in the second stage. The teams will collect various types of data for flnniy»i« by the National Opinion Research Center. The goal of the project is to provide information currently unavailable about the characteristics of successful religious education settings, as well as information that will provide useful technical assistance to religious education Person el at each of the parishes nominated include the pastor and DRE. They are Father Thomas J. Dempsey and Sister Carolyn Nelson, OP at St. Patrick in St. Charles. Father Francis E. McDonnell and Mrs. Patricia Brady at Sacred Heart in Sterling, and Father Edmund P. Petit and Mrs. Mary Marsh at St. Patrick in McHenrv. Bibles Mission president speaker at area church Suzanne Haack, left sitting, Vicki AAoravec, Kim Reh- feldt, and David Haack, left standing, Dennis Leary, Ken Alton and Jesse Peterson prepare for a mission program being sponsored by the youth at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church. Mission program at church Pastor Merle D. Conklin and the congregation of the Wonder Lake Bible Church invite the public to attend both the mor­ ning and evening services Sunday, March 11, to hear guest speaker Dr. Rochunga Pudaite, president of Bibles for the World Mission headquarted in Wheaton, 111. Dr. Pudaite is the son of one of the first converts to Christianity from the Hmar tribe, formerly a savage headhunting people in northwest India and now a Christian community of 100,000 people. He was educated in a mission school in Assam and was graduated from the University of Allahabad. A scholarship grant enabled him to pursue further study in Glasgow, Scotland, and in the United States. After study at the graudate school of Wheaton College, he completed a master's degree at Northern Illinois University. In 1958 he was asked to organize and assume the DR. PUDAITE directorship of the Indo-Burma Pioneer Mission (later known as Partnership Mission, Inc.). He is thoroughly familiar with southeast Asia affairs, par­ ticularly in India, Burma, Bangladesh, and Taiwan. Since 1958 the mission has trained more than 1,000 Indian national pastors, missionaries, teachers and medical workers. It operates 90 village schools, a fully accredited high school, and has a 25-bed hospital. Since the work of English and American missionaries is (now being restricted or curtailed by many Asian governments, Pudaite declares that there is an urgency for Christians to assist in efforts to support and train more Asian nationals in the task of reaching their countrymen with the Gospel. "Besides," he adds, "what could be more practical? An Asian has no language, race or cultural barriers td overcome in order to minister to other Asians. As soon as he is trained, he can begin to reach his neigh­ bors for Christ. Usually, the job is done more quickly, more effectively and for a tenth of the cost of sending missionaries from North America or Europe because of the natural barriers of sending people to different cultures," he explained. He added that Americans do play a valuable part in the work. "In fact, without the United States 'know how' and support, our work would suffer greatly." In 1972, Bibles for the World undertook an extensive Bible distributions project, mailing specially prepared copies of the New Testament to everyone in India listed in the telephone books. These represented In­ dia's educated leaders, 98 percent of whom speak English. Response was overwhelming with an average of 600 lettes received a day. Encouraged by this response, the mission's goal now is to send a Bible to every telephone subscriber in the whole world. Thus far, nearly eight million free New Testaments have been sent to over 40 countries in Asia, Africa, South America and Europe, including Russia. There will be no early worship service at 8:20 a.m. Sunday School for all ages begins at 9:30 a.m. worship service will begin at 10:50 a.m. and the evening Bible Fellowship hour will begin at 6 p.m. Everyone is welcome.

A delegation of hiy!) school and college studonu from Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church will spend •Iv v.trk of June 9 through the 16 at Jh< mission assisting in the programs offered by the mission. The week at the mission will provide an opportunity for local youth to be productive in a very positive way with the life of the church as well as serving those in need. Sunday's program will include slides on the mission shown by a youth group from a Lutheran Church in Rockford which assists the mission each year, as well as a spoken presentation on the mission life and activity. Members of the congregation and the community are invited to join in this informative presentation in the fellowship hall of the church.
