Bishop to Report On Vitality of Diocese By Melinda Sowerby Tribune Church Editor When the Most Rev. William K. Weigand leaves for Rome Sunday, it will be his first visit to the Vatican since he was named bishop. Bishop Weigand is going to Rome on his first Ad Liminia (meaning at the threshold) visit to make a personal report on the progress of the Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake. A report on every aspect of the diocese has been prepared with the help of the Most Rev. Lennox Federal, retired bishop of the diocese, and the staff of the diocese, covering the period 1978 to 1982. Bishop Weigand will present both verbal and written reports to various departments within the Vatican and will meet personally with Pope John Paul II for a brief visit. Bishop Federal said outside that brief visit, the Pope will meet with the bishops in groups because of time constraints. Talk with Pope Bishop Weigand said he shouldn't have any trouble conversing with the Holy Father for the 15 minutes or so allotted him. The Holy Father speaks fluent English and Spanish (languages Bishop Weigand is fluent in also). Hes very bright and very easy to talk to. In addition, Bishop Weigand feels an affinity with Pope John Paul II because of his concern for social justice issues and human rights. "WeH relate well on those issues, the bishop said. The report on the diocese will paint a generally positive picture of the state of the Catholic Church here. Although were a small minority here, theres a real vitality of faith life. And the bishop believes that vitality will continue as faithful Catholics respond to a good life. faith The report briefly describes whats going on here and why, Bishop Weigand said, adding it gives the American bishops the chance to explain members feelings on issues such as marriage and divorce and gives the bishops a chance to put a good word in, for American Catholics. In his report, Bishop Weigand will present a glowing report on Catholic schools in Utah. As Bishop Federal put it, We have one less school than five years ago, but our enrollment is greater. Bishop Weigand will also tell Vatican officials of the work being done by the Rev. John Norman, who is now spending about half his time working with youngsters who are pondering a religious vocation, in hopes of attracting youth into the ministry. Shortage of People that vein, Bishop Weigand will let it be known there is a shortage of priests and sisters in the diocese, adding it has been a challenge to keep up with the growth of the dio- Turbulent but broken clouds moving across the skyline symbolize the salvation promised by Christianity, which is here represented by the stark cross rising above St. In Woman Pastor to Serve First Presbyterian cese. the diocese has about official members, Bishop Weigand believes the actual number could be almost double that, because of members who have moved, have fallen away or have only participated in church activities on special ocAlthough 62,000 casions. In his report, Bishop Weigand will also present reports showing the laity of the church taking an increasingly active and significant role. The bishop expessed the hope that by the end of 1983 a Diocesan Pastoral Counsel made up of a cross section of people in the diocese will be functioning. The Rev. Ginger Gryzwana has spent the last year serving as interim pastor for Wasatch Presbyterian Church and getting acquainted with Salt Lake City. Now, shell be serving in the same capacity for the First Presbyterian Church, 12 C St. Ms. Gryzwana took over as interim pastor at First Presbyterian Aug. 1, after Wasatch Presbyterian called the Rev. Gary Weaver as permanent pastor. About that same time, the Rev. John Bodo, who had been serving as interim pastor at First Church left that post to attend the World Council of Churches convention in Vancouver, British was good timing, I believe in the ultimate timing of God, Ms. Gryzwana said. During her year at Wasatch Presbyterian, Ms. Gryzwana found her faith grew in a unique way. Saying she tends to be cynical at times, living in a world filled with brutalities such as racism, the arms race, war and police brutality, she discovered the generosity of the community to be great. She said she found herself believing in the best and wanting the best. The generosity of the people of God working together towards whatever in the midst of total chaos in the world touched me." As a result of her parish ministry, Ms. Gryzwana believes the world now needs compassion and finds compassion is increasingly the focus of her ministry. Its the way many of us were brought up to feel lousy about ourselves and religion was something that made us feel worse," she said, adding thats not what religion was meant for. Instead, she sees Christ as an agent of compassion and transformation.People respond not out of what is imposed, but what emerges from their faith, she believes. Ms. Gryzwana is the third minister First Presbyterian has had in a year and she expects to serve the First Congregational Church Under Eyes of New Pastor The Rev. Peter R.K.

That presents special problems in her relationship with the congregation and her plans for the church. I feel its important for me to be as sensitive as I can to the members' needs during this transition. Change is never easy and I see the possibility for the church to move into an even stronger ministry or defeat. But I can't let myself think in terms of erosion, she said. Because First Presbyterian is a downtown church, members have different needs than members at Wasatch Presbyterian, which is more of a suburban church. Ms. Gryzwana likens First Church to a medieval cathedral, where the entire complexion of the culture meets the rich, the poor and hopefully, prayfully black, white, Hispanic and Oriental can worship together. She said one problem of an urban congregation is that many members are older people on a fixed income, who are unable to support the church to its capacity. Many of those members still give everything they Singer to Present Bible Messages, Music New Officers Named Rev. Peter R.K.
