Anniversary Celebrations MANILA: Rufino Cardinal Santos of Manila has announced that an archdiocesan Eucharistic congress and a convention of the Catholic Action organisation of Manila will be held here (February 4 to 7) as "a fitting preparation" for the 400th anniversary of Christianity in the Philippines. The year 1965 was declared by Pope Paul VI a jubilee year for the Catholics of this country. In connection with the celebrations President Diosdado Macapagal has set up a committee, including five cabinet ministers, to take charge of government participation in the commemoration. Philippine car license tags this year bear the inscription "Christianisation's 4th Centennial." The project was sponsored by the government committee for participation in the annivers ary.
A Memorial Mass will be offered in St. Mary's Cathedral on Saturday morning at 10.30 a.m. for the &lath of Sir Winston Churchill. The sermon for the occasion will be preached by Father Paul Keyte S.D.S. The wartime leader of Britain died last Sunday and is to be buried this Saturday. A Memorial Service is also being held at St can Cathedral at the same time.
George's Angli-
the English bishops' conference, has instructed all pastors of the archdiocese to hold parish meetings and to report to him on the views of their people by the end of January. Some other bishops are expected to follow suit. Bishop George Dwyer of Leeds has already asked his priests to get the "feeling" of the people both by holding parochial meetings and consulting leaders of lay organisations. NOT TOO LONG Archbishop Heenan in his message said it is clear that the present stage of the liturgical changes cannot be allowed to remain too long. He said that a "more consistent language pattern" is obviously required. First changes providing for English in the Mass came into effect in Ene:and last November 29. It was announced that the second stage in the use of English for such Old Testament texts as the gradual will probably be introduced this Easter. Meanwhile, the changes provided for by the postconciliar liturgy commission in Rome are to become effective March 7. The weekly Catholic Herald here in discussing Archbishop Heenan's call for parish meetings on the liturgy said: "Discussion at the parish meetings is expected to centre round four main questions—the amount of 'bobbing up and down,' as it has been referred to in changing posit ions from kneeling, to standing, to sitting and so on; the awkwardness of the transitions from English to Latin and back; the awkwardness of some of the English phrases used; and the lack of uniformity between parishes over the optional use of the vernacular in weekday Masses . . .
