The Message -- for Catholics of Southwestern Indiana
'SOUper Bowl' aims to collect for food banks
pie. Volunteers stand outside
churches on Super Bowl Sunday
holding soup pots. As people
leave worship services, they are
asked to put in $1, which is
turned over directly to a soup
kitchen, food bank or another
charity the church designates.
At the organizing office in
Columbia, staffers will operate
an 800 number -- (800) 358-
SOUP -- from noon to 6 p.m.
(EST) the same day to take calls
reporting total collections.
In 1996, Catholics in South
Carolina accounted for the
largest statewide denomination-
al participation, with 21 parish-
es joining the drive.
Bishop David B. Thompson of
Charleston has agreed to be list-
ed as a Souper Bowl advocate,
joining various leaders and ath-
letes such as San Diego Charg-
ers coach Bobby Ross, a Catholic,
and former first lady Rosalyn
Carter.
"We really would like to get
more congregations involved,"
the effort's organizer, the Rev.
Brad Smith of Spring Valley
Presbyterian in Columbia, said
in a statement. "It is such an
easy way for all of us to greatly
impact our local communities
and to collectively make a dif-
ference across the country.
"I hope that more people will
get involved this year and help
us top our $2 million goal."
St. Mary's Catholic Church in
Rock Hill, S.C., has participated
in the Souper Bowl fbr five years
in a row. Other Catholic church-
es that have been involved are
St. Hugh in Carmichaets, Pa.,
Anaconda Catholic Community
in Anaconda, Mont., and Holy
Martyrs in Falmouth, Maine.
In various parts of the coun-
try, arrangements have been
made for the Souper Bowl col-
lection at parishes to be matched
by local merchants.
In Soddey-Dais:; Tenn., the
local Wal-Mart matched town
collections. And in Indianapolis,
two members of a church who
were in the food business
matched their congregation's
donations with nonperishable
food.

Prays for peace
Pope John Paul II prayed
that the peace and joy
invoked in Christmas carols
of every language would
inspire true harmony in
Africa, the Middle East and
other places of strife. "To
resign ourselves to such vio-
lence and injustice would be
too grave a rejection of the joy
and hope which Christmas
brings," the pope said Dec. 25
in his annual message "urbi
et orbi" (to the city and the
world).
Mass for hostages

ebrated Christmas Mass in

100 hostages enduring their
eighth day of captivity inthe
Japanese Embassy in Limai
Archbishop Juan Luis Cipri-
ani Thorne of Ayacucho, left
the embassy about 5 p.m.
Dec. 25, after spending seven
hours inside.
Holy Land tense
Franciscan Father
Guiseppe Nazzaro, the main
caretaker of Catholic sites of
worship in the Holy Land,
said Christmas observances
in the region this season have
been a mixture of tension
between peoples and their
perennial hope for peace.
Many seasonal pilgrims and
groups canceled their visits,
he said -- adding, however,
that there is no reason to give
up hope for a lasting peace.

pened. People have lost their
jobs, families have been
destroyed, careers are on the
line," he said.
