It began when a man approached two pastors, Monsig- nor Patrick Fox of All Hallows and Monsignor James Gilfillan of Mary Star of the Sea, and told them he had been out of work for six months and wan~ed to know _if the churches were going to help the jobless in ~he:r pansh~s.

Two weeks ago, a Job Awareness Night was observed at All Hallows Parish Center.

Continued From Page D-1 Under the La Jolla program which began in November, a series of meetings has been held to help the unemployed put their best feet forward in writing resumes, which are prepared with the help of experts _in _the _field. Achemical engineer who lost his Job in ~eptember has praise for the resume-writing program which has helped him prepare a new resume. He has had 180 resumes printed and is now in the process of sending them to prospective employers. . . . A spokesman for the San Diego Catholic D10cese said as far as he knows, the three parishes are the only ones here with such programs. The parish centers of the three churches serve as rally- ing points where potential employers and the JO?less meet. While the churches are Catholic, all people within the parishes they serve are eligi?le to parti~1pate. The unemployed should submit resumes to the pansh nearest them. U . Sara Finn, director of public information at t_he mver- sity of San Diego, said the program has d:awn in about 54 resumes and that the university 1s assisting the churches by supplying speakers, counselors and other experts via its community outreach program and speakers bureau. The churches encourage employers to make job openings . Finn said program leaders hope the La Jolla group ~ill serve as a model that other churches, regardless of relig- ion, can use as a guide in setting up their own p_ro~rams. The program is voluntary and aimed at achieving the following goals: - How to prepare a resume. - How to change careers. - How to evaluate one's talents and apply them in other careers. - How to get into sales jobs. . . Volunteer speakers from the churches and the umvers1- ty give talks on how to pursue a career realistically in . Finn said so far, the program is too young to realize 1~s full potential. She said it has taken until recently to gam the confidence of the unemployed, who range from engi- neers and persons with doctoral degrees to recently grad- uated college students, among others. . Finn said one big problem confronting the support groups is finding jobs for women 40 and older who want either to enter or re-enter the JOb market. Many have husbands who recently lost jobs. .

THE SAN DIEGO UNION Married USD Professor Will Be Ordained As A Catholic Priest

•

By RITA GILLMON Stoff Wriler, The son Diego Union

Though a married man with grown children, Ray Ryland will be or- dained a priest in the Roman Catho- lic Church here next month. Ryland, a professor of Religious Studies at the University of San Diego and a former Episcopal priest, is eJigible for ordination under a 1980. ruling from the Vatican whereby married men who are former Epis- copal priests can practice their priesthood in the Catholic Church. The ruling came after a group of Episcopal priests left the Episcopal Church following its decision to or- dain women in 1976 and petitioned for acceptance into the Catholic Communion and the right to continue practicing as priests Ryland, though not a member of this group, will benefit from the rul- ing. Normally, to be ordained a priest in the Western Rite Church, a man must take a vow of celibacy. The dispensation states that this is an ex- ception and if such an ordained man becomes a widower, he must remain single. Three other married Episco- pal priests in the United States have already been ordained under this dispensation. They are the Rev. James Parker of Springfield, Mo.; the Rev. Daniel Munn of Augusta, Ga.; and the Rev. Dennis Kuhn of Henderson, N.C. Bishop Leo T. Maher of the San, Diego Catholic Diocese, said he peti- tioned for Ryland to be ordained as soon as the ruling was made. "We have a two-page letter from the Con- gregation of the Faith giving permis- sion for his ordination," Maher said.

"Ryland also took all the examina- tions for priest candidates." The ceremony will take place at 10.30 a.m. Feb. 12 at St. Mary Mag- dalene's Catholic Church. Ryland, who was an Episcopal priest for 13 years, joined the Catho- lic Church in 1963 out of conviction that it teaches the truth. He has been teaching at the University of San Diego since 1969 and, he says, pray- ing for he opportunity to practice as a pnest. "My wife and I have both been praying for this day. We are together on this, as we have been on every- thing," Ryland said. "We are just very thankful." He has been a permanent deacon since 1970 and for the past year has been assigned to St. Mary Mag- dalene's helping with pastoral duties. As a deacon he was not able to cele- brate Mass, the central act of wor- ship for the chmch, or hear confes- sions. "After my ordination, I will still be a teacher as my full-time profes- sion," Ryland said. The traffic is not all one-way. Cler- gy of the Episcopal Church have moved to the Catholic Church as well. The Episcopal Church is one of the Anglican branches of the church which developed out of the Church of England. This was formed in the 16th century when the English branch of the church broke away from the Catholic Church. Of all the churches formed during the Protestant Refor- mation, inclµding the Lutheran and Reformed Churches, the Anglican

with the Anglican tradition while overseas. "I found the Book of Corn- mon Prayer very similar to what we used in the Augustinian Order," he Mahedy however, did not have to be re-ordained to be a priest in the Episcopal Church. "That is intellec- tually untenable (re-ordination) be- cause all the theologians have agreed there isn't a dime's worth of differ- ence between the Catholics and An- glicans," he said. "Maher no doubt has to go along with Rome on this." "As a priest, I was received and welcomed by the Bishop of Los Ange- Jes {the Right Rev. Robert Rusack) as a priest for this branch of the said.

of the larger church.

The Episcopal Church has bishops, as the Catholic church does, but does not recognize the pope as the head of the church. Down the street from st. Mary Magdalene's is St. David's Episcopal Church where the Rev. Bill Mahedy, who was an Augustinian priest in the Catholic Church, is on the staff. "I just think this is very good news, even though I don't know Ryland. 1 think this validates the cross traffic. I have been telling Episcopalians to visit Catholic churches and encour- aging Catholics to investigate Ep- 1scopalian spirituality," Mahedy said. Mahedy said that as a Catholic chaplain, he first became impressed
