Another view of summer fun as two generations enjoy time together, celebrating the gifts of family, of health and cool water. Water that also evokes reminders of our baptism — our rebirth to new life — water that quenches our spiritual thirst and refreshes the soul.

MAGAZINE

On the cover...

Welcome,

readers, to

this first

issue of the Pittsburgh

Catholic Senior Life

Magazine. It continues

the themes of health

for the spirit, mind and

body, featuring stories

about individuals who

keep active through exercise programs, through

flying, playing music or leading a province of

sisters in the religious life.

And in recognizing the “hazy, crazy days of

summer,” we have articles about fireworks, home-

made ice cream and how to avoid heat-related

health problems.

For the quieter moments, you might think of

settling in with some good books, or learning more

about the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the shrine in

Stockbridge, Mass.

Whatever your preference, we hope you can find

items inside that will interest you and make you

want to see more of these in future issues.

“I’ve been playing bluegrass music for so long that I’m recognized in the industry across the country, even though we stayed local and never went on the road,” said Mac Martin during a recent interview on his back porch in the Brookline neighborhood of Pittsburgh.

He has been performing bluegrass in Pittsburgh and regionally for over 60 years, originally forming a band in 1947 called the Pike County Boys (after “Pike County Break-down,” made famous by Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys).

A few years later, around 1954, Mac formed the Dixie Travelers, and that name has endured. “We didn’t want to use a name tied to a particular place, and there were already a lot of bluegrass bands with ‘boys’ in the name,” Mac said. “We thought Dixie would give the right flavor, and picked Travel-ers to go with it, even through we travel the least of about anybody.”

Mac originally played under his given name, Bill Colleran, but there were two other Bills in the early band, so he took Mac, because it was easy, and “people called each other Mac in the Navy,” he said, recalling his WWII service with the Navy Seabees 1943-46. He added Martin as a short, easy name to go with Mac — “It was pretty common for people in entertainment to pick different names for the stage.”

Colleran reflects Mac’s Irish Catholic roots, as the son of Irish immigrants from Galway who came to Pittsburgh around 1923, and Mac was born in 1925. They lived on DeSoto Street in the Oakland neighborhood, and Mac was an altar boy at St. Paul Cathedral, serving for Bishop Hugh Boyle, whose house was then located on what is today’s cathe-dral parking lot. “I would go over and wait in the kitchen with the big Irish cook until the bishop came downstairs.”

In high school, Mac listened to country and hillbilly music on the radio, and bought him-self a mandolin through a local newspaper

ad. “I never took a lesson, but I could feel the music in my hands. If you have it in your bones, you can play it.”

He also acquired a $25 guitar and played it. He listened to the records owned by his friend Ed Brozi, a Fayette County native and country musician who had moved to Pittsburgh in the early 1940s. They formed a duo for a short while until Ed went into the service, soon followed by Mac. When the two returned to Pittsburgh after the war, they teamed up again and added Bill Higgins and Bill Wagner to form the Pike County Boys.

The music that Mac originally used to guide him was not the bluegrass as it is known today, but more country songs, old ballads, string band music, and the up-tempo instrumentals called “breakdowns.” But when Bill Monroe added banjo player Earl Scruggs, who had a distinctive three-finger picking style, and guitarist Lester Flatt to his Bluegrass Boys, the combina-tion of banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitar and bass gave rise to the bluegrass genre that continues as a distinctive and separate branch of what is broadly labeled country and western music today.

Mac and the Pike County Boys began to see greater demand for their music,

and they began to play on WHJB radio in Greensburg in 1949. Mac also had found time to complete two years at Robert Mor-ris Business College and continued with his day job as office manager at the Atlantic Commission Co., which was the produce buying office for the A&P stores. “I was in charge of 50 employees and we began to package food as well, and then later I had the traffic department for all the fruits and vegetables in the tri-state area, Pennsylva-nia, Ohio and West Virginia.”

While working for A&P, Mac met Jean Walker, and they were married in 1952 in Immaculate Conception Parish in Bloom-field. As part of their honeymoon trip, they went first to Virginia, then to Raleigh, N.C., to a trailer camp where they just “happened to find” Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, as well as Everett Lilly and Benny Martin.

“I know they were playing on the radio there at the time, so I thought it would be a good addition to our honeymoon to go see them.” Mac and Jean just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in May.

“I worked for A&P from 1948 until they closed down the local operation and wanted me to relocate to the East Coast. I didn’t want to move, because by that time we had five children and we were settled in our

home here. We are the original owners and have never moved. I never missed a paycheck. I found a new job with Volkwein’s Music on the North Side, and went with them when they moved to RIDC Park West, and finally retired again at age 70. But the music never stops. We’re playing at Hambones in October, have a wedding coming up, and we play in Kittanning every year and New Year’s Eve in Butler. And we play the benefit concert every year for St. Joseph’s House of Hospitality at Synod Hall in Oakland.

“How many people are still working at age 87? But you have to stay active and you have to play regularly if you are going to keep a band together. There’s a timing and flow that you want to have for a concert. For instance, we’ll do a nice opener, and then feature the side man, usually the lead guitar, on a tune and then you want to have some solo spots for the banjo and fiddle player. Sometimes we’ll go back to the old style with two guitars, like the Carter Family. Then we’ll do a gospel song, and then close out a set with a faster tune like the ‘Orange Blossom Special’ or some other breakdown. We usually do about 12-14 songs to a set, and usually do two sets, but sometimes three. That’s a lot of music.”

While the music that Mac Martin plays is derived from the count-less songs that form the bluegrass genre, the Dixie Travelers

music is distinctly their own. “I’m prob-ably best known as a song arranger,” Mac said. “I have written a few songs over the years, but most of the time, I’ll take an old song and change the tempo, maybe speed up a slow song, or I will update some verses that have become obsolete, or I’ll find old obscure tunes and give them a new sound.

“We have cut back from the early days of playing every week. Now we play about once a month, and I don’t think I want to do more than that right now, and I have other activities, too. We go to Florida every year, to Fort Myers, and they always look for me to play at their annual festival. And we visit our children and grandchildren.

“I go to daily Mass, and my daughter gave me the Liturgy of the Hours and I really enjoy that, staying close to the

daily readings and to the Office. Like music, faith is a gift, and you have to use it, stay active in it, and practice it to keep it alive.”

Mac Martin and the Dixie Travelers music lives on in their record-ings as well, with 11 original LP albums and six CDs, covering the pe-riod from 1963 to 2004. Three albums in the ’70s earned five-star ratings by “Bluegrass Unlimited,” and Mac and the band continue to provide what many reviewers call “pure, unadulterated bluegrass” from a first-generation performer. More details about the band and availability of their music are on the web, www.thedixietravelers.com.

After more than 50 years in religious life, Sister Catherine Meinert was elected to a four-year term as provincial superior/presi-dent of the United States Province of the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill, headquar-tered in Greensburg.

Joining her on the Provincial Council are Sister Mary Norbert Long – first councilor; Sister Brycelyn Eyler – second councilor; Sister Susan Jenny – third councilor; and Sister Barbara Einloth – fourth councilor.

“I am grateful for the sisters’ confidence in me,” said Sister Catherine. She and the other members of the council are finally having the opportunity to work together as a

group after the election of two months ago. “With travel and other commitments, we estimated that we had spent only 10 days together out of the past 60, so it’s good to be moving forward with the administration of the province.”

The chief responsibilities of the president and the council include oversight and ad-ministration of the province in all its differ-ent aspects. “The chief focus is always on the spiritual life and mission of the sisters,” Sister Catherine noted, “in addition to stew-ardship of provincial property, buildings and grounds.

“There is also the reality of a declining number of sisters, and as an aging group, we have fewer wage earners; but we find ways to carry on our various ministries. Our older sisters carry on an active prayer ministry, and we engage in collaboration with other orders so that our combined resources can allow us to achieve more than we could on our own.

“We were missioned to Fayette County to work with the poor, and I also had the joy of being principal there in the Conn-Area Catholic School in Connellsville from 1996-2007.”

Another ministry near and dear to Sister Catherine is Alternatives. Yes, crisis preg-nancy center in Connellsville, where she serves as president of the board of direc-tors. She received an early Christmas present on the feast of the Immaculate Conception when the Diocese of Greens-burg announced that a $10,000 grant was awarded to Alternatives.Yes. It is among the first groups to be helped by the Diocesan Poverty Relief Fund.

Later, in April 2012, the program received recognition of its 25 years of service. Sister Catherine and Andrea Pritts, the organi-zation’s executive director, accepted the Salt and Light Award presented by Bishop Lawrence Brandt at the Catholic Charities Communities of Salt and Light Award Dinner.

Alternatives.Yes began provid-ing crisis pregnancy services in Connellsville in 1986 and was named a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization in 1999. Support services include pregnancy tests, maternity clothing, coun-seling, and referrals for medical and legal assistance, as well as social services. Newborn layettes full of baby items are provided after delivery. Although many services are focused on protecting and enhancing the lives of expectant mothers and their babies, 30 percent of the 1,200 clients who visited Alternatives.Yes last year were young fathers who sought assistance through parenting classes or needed grants to take the GED exam.

Sister Catherine noted that the poverty rate of Alternatives.Yes clients is 85 percent and that babies born to clients have a 35 to 40 percent chance of having a parent who did not complete high school. The grant proposal signed by Pritts and Sister Cath-erine specified that funds will be used to help break the cycle of poverty through the establishment of a Life Skills Center that will provide educational services to empower young parents to nurture their children and sustain their households. An 840-square-foot addition to the current building will pro-vide a suitable environment for a hands-on life skills curriculum. The Life Skills Center will help Alternatives.Yes clients enjoy great-er self-respect through self-sufficiency, and pass those traits on to their children.

The Sisters of Charity have cared for hun-dreds of years for vulnerable women and children. In 1891 they founded the Roselia Center in Pittsburgh as a safe place to leave abandoned infants.

“We have always been dedicated to serv-ing the poor. That hasn’t changed,” she added.

“And we are faithfully aligned with the church. Mother Seton’s final words as she was dying were ‘Be daughters of the church.’ And that’s what we strive to be.”

Sister Catherine and the council are re-sponsible for more than 200 sisters, primar-ily in four Pennsylvania dioceses, but with others in the dioceses of Phoenix, Tucson, and the archdiocese of Chicago; and one each in the Archdioceses of Washington, D.C., Cincinnati and Newark as well as one each in the dioceses of Buffalo, Springfield, Wheeling-Charleston and Orlando.

entered the Sisters of Charity on Sept. 8, 1961, from St. Joseph Parish, Bloomfield.

“For a long time, I felt this tug, this calling to enter the religious life, and I couldn’t put it aside. Like any journey, you go in different directions before you finally settle on what to do. I had an active social life as a teenager, and had already found a good job.”

Sister Catherine had entered the work force early on, and had become controller at Crucible Steel, but she still felt the calling to the religious life. “I was an only child with both parents gone. I had to wait until I was 21 so that I could legally dispose of family property. But I was convinced that this was what God wanted of me. And it has been a wonderful blessing to have answered that call more than 50 years ago.”

Sister Catherine is an alumna of Seton Hill University, earning a bachelor’s degree in his-tory, and a master’s degree in education from Duquesne. She later earned a master’s degree in theology from Wheeling Jesuit University.

Sister Catherine spent the majority of her career in education, with teaching positions from 1963-73 in the dioceses of Pittsburgh, Greensburg and the Archdiocese of Washing-ton, D.C. “We had 1,200 students in the school in Bethesda,”

She had her first principal’s appointment in 1973 at St. Therese of Lisieux in Munhall, where she served until 1982, with an enroll-ment of 543 children.

“I then had the honor of being an educa-tional consultant for 14 years, working with Father Hugh Lang, who was superintendent, Archabbot Nowicki, who was secretary for education at the time, and then with Father Kris Stubna, who has been a dear friend for many years.”

In 1990, Sister Catherine was elected to the executive committee of the National Catholic Educational Association. She was honored with the association’s “Rec-ognition of Dedicated Service” in 1994.

Sister Catherine finally noted, “I find it an honor to work so closely with our sisters and the entire staff that works on the Sister of Charity complex.” Sister Catherine is open to the challenges of her work and approaches her tasks with enthusiasm.

The newly elected Provincial Council is responsible for the administration and

leadership of the United States Province, which numbers 205 sisters in active or re-tired ministry. Another 207 sisters serve in the Korean Province.

The Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill is an international, apostolic community of women religious who serve in five coun-tries, 10 United States dioceses, and four United States archdioceses. Founded in 1870, the congregation traces its roots to the first American saint, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. The Sisters of Charity minister primarily in the areas of education, health care, pastoral care and social services.

About the Healthways SilverSneakers Fitness Program

The SilverSneakers Fitness Program is offered by Healthways, providing specialized, comprehensive health and care support solutions to help people maintain or improve their health. SilverSneakers was founded in 1992 and

is the nation’s leading social support and exercise program designed to keep older adults healthy.

Offering an innovative blend of physical activity, healthy lifestyle and socially oriented programming, the unique program is made available through many Medicare health plans, Medicare Supplement carriers and group retiree plans at more than 10,000 participating fitness and wellness centers in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.

For more information on Silver-Sneakers, call 888-423-4632 or visit www.silversneakers.com.

PHYSICAL FITNESS IS KEY TO HEALTHY AGINGSilverSneakers Fitness Program member exercises over 280 times a year

A better quality of life, increased energy levels, and a feeling of personal accomplish-ment — these are just a few of the added benefits John Feitl has experienced since starting a regular physical activity routine with the SilverSneakers Fitness Program in 2007. Just exactly how physically active is Feitl? He has exercised at Bodytech on Perry Highway over 1,400 times since enrolling in the SilverSneakers Fitness Program in 2007.

Lillian Tamir, SilverSneakers account manager, believes Feitl’s dedication to health and well-being is outstanding, “The Centers for Disease Control recom-mends 150 minutes of physical activity each week for older adults. John far surpasses this recommendation, and is a testament to the health benefits of regular physical activity.”

Feitl decided to begin his wellness journey after retirement from his career as a carpenter at the age of 62. He paid for a gym membership at another location for many years, but then joined Bodytech in 2007 when he learned that his insurance would pay for the membership. He says that exercise is “a good way to spend retirement.”

While Feitl can use over 10,000 participating SilverSneakers locations nationwide, he chooses to enjoy his membership at Bodytech, located in Pines Plaza at 1130 Perry Highway. He says his favorite part of using this facility is the friendship of other men around his own age. He says that when he misses a day, he hears, “Where were you yesterday?”

I, as co-owner at Bodytech, feel that Feitl has brought a new brightness to our facility. I look forward to seeing him every day when he comes in.

The National Institutes of Health reports that being physically active can lead to long-term health benefits. Perhaps even more importantly, they also

state that older adults who already have diseases and disabilities may see health improvements after becoming more physically active.

Feitl believes that regular exercise has helped him stay healthy and enjoy his retirement.

Bodytech is proud to offer strengthening equipment and cardiovascular equipment as well as group exercise classes to their members.

Still Soaring with the Eagles

I always wanted to fly. I built model airplanes as a kid, and flew paper airplanes in school. Sometimes it made the teachers angry, at Nativity on Pittsburgh’s North Side and North Catholic.

A few months after graduation, I signed up with the Air Force. It seemed like the best place to me. I love flying, and they had plenty of airplanes. But at the time I joined in 1959, it was after Korea and before Vietnam, so there were no flight schools operating. But I took flight lessons through the Air Force Aero Clubs, on my own time and with my own money.

Whenever I saved up enough and had free time, I was flying, and completed my commercial and instrument ratings. I had my first flying lesson in New Hampshire in a Cessna 140. I spent two years in Alaska and made my first solo flight Aug. 31, 1960, in a Cessna 120. A 120 is an earlier model and has fabric-covered wings while the 140 has metal wings.

After Alaska, I finished my last two years at Altus Air Force Base in southwestern Oklahoma and completed all my ratings.

Upon my return to Pittsburgh, I worked for a short while with an air transport

company at the Allegheny County Airport, but they didn’t last long, so I had to find another job. For a short while that was Gimbel’s in the North Hills, but at the same time I went to the Beaver County Airport and completed my flight instructor rating, which led to my getting a job as a flight instructor out of Akron, Ohio, with Shawnee Airways, which kept me busy for a couple of years, but I was constantly looking for

the possibility of flying with a commercial airline, and applied to Allegheny Airlines when they advertised an opening.

Lo and behold, one wintry February day in 1966, I received a telegram inviting me for an interview within the next two weeks. There were seven people interviewed that day, and three of

us were hired. The vice president of flying was conducting the interview, and when he asked me why I wanted to work for them, I said Pittsburgh is my hometown, you’re based in Pittsburgh and I love to fly. He said, “Good, see you in class.” That was Capt. Harvey Thompson, and he’s retired, and still living at age 95 in Naples, Fla.

I walked out and had to pinch myself. Here I was, with about 1,500 hours in a little

Cherokee, up against former Air Force pilots who had been flying B-52s and other big aircraft.

After several years with the airline, I asked about making captain, knowing I had to pass my air transport rating for that. I asked if I could go ahead and complete that on my own, but this time, I was able to use the GI Bill to pay the costs. I earned my rating in April 1976, and found out after the check ride that if I hadn’t passed they would not have kept me on, even as a first officer, because flunking would have meant I would never make captain.

I was named captain in 1981, flying Doug-las DC-9s in the early years, and later, when I started international flights, I finished my career flying a Boeing 767. I retired Aug. 30, 2000, 40 years after my first solo, and three days before my 60th birthday, which is when pilots have to retire. If you’re flying on your 60th, you have to parachute out before the plane lands!

Of course, that didn’t mean I had to stop flying, but it was exclusively back to the single engines for me. I had continued to fly small planes over the years and had been a partner in owning a small plane on two dif-ferent occasions, but didn’t really fly often enough to justify that.

I continued to fly by joining the Experi-mental Aircraft Association chapter at the Zelienople airport where I had flown during my periods of ownership. Then in 2003, the chapter president said they needed more pilots to fly Young Eagles, and I’ve been doing it ever since. Next year will mark 10 years for me, and I’ll probably pass the 400 mark, since I’m up past 370 kids flown now

in over 100 flights. We take up two at a time most of the time, and sometimes three. I really get a kick out of the kids. They have to be between the ages of 8 and 17 to get a Young Eagles certificate for taking a flight, and I have dozens of cards and photos from many of them. Some of my original Young Eagles have gone on for flight training, and some have already soloed. Others are headed off to college and are signed up to complete their flight training while in school.

I guess you could say I’ve come full circle in my flying, starting off in single engine and returning to it now. There is quite a difference between flying a 2,500-pound Cessna and a 350,000-pound 767. There’s a common flying

The EAA Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 to give interested young people ages 8-17 an opportunity to go flying in a general aviation airplane. These flights are offered free of charge and are made possible through the continuing generosity of EAA member volunteers. There is no cost or obligation, before or after the flight.

Since 1992, more than 1.6 million Young Eagles have enjoyed a flight through the program. Young Eagles have been registered in more than 90 different countries and have been flown by more than 42,000 volunteer pilots.

Participating in the program at Zelienople airport simply requires checking the website for upcoming events at the airport to find the next Young Eagle flight event, then showing up to arrange for a flight. TA form has to be completed and signed by a parent or guardian before the flight. This form also enrolls participants in the Young Eagles National Log Book, and provides them with a commemorative certificate after the flight.

So what will the flight be like?The biggest question might be about the ac-

tual flight. First, there is a brief “ground school” discussion of what makes an airplane fly. Young flyers are then escorted to a gateway where an EAA member will take them safely to an aircraft.

After boarding, the pilot explains what will happen during the flight. This might include talk-ing about the airplane, reviewing an aeronautical chart (or map) and identifying ground reference points during the flight. Then the pilot will help buckle seat belts beforehand and describe the interior workings of the airplane, including some of the instruments.

Once in the air, passengers see the earth and sky in a new, exciting way. Most Young Eagle flights last between 15 and 20 minutes. Once back on the ground, there will be additional time for asking the EAA members questions about the flight. Ask away! And don’t forget, everyone receives an official Young Eagles certificate, which is signed by the personal pilot and our two EAA Young Eagle co-chairmen: Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenburger and the co-pilot from the amazing “Hudson River” landing, Jeff Skiles.

The Zelienople chapter is part of the worldwide network of Experimental Aircraft Association chapters. EAA embodies the spirit of aviation through the world’s most engaged community of aviation enthusiasts. EAA’s 170,000-plus members enjoy the fun and camaraderie of sharing their passion for flying, building and restoring recreational aircraft.

story about coming full circle in your career. The guy in the little single-engine plane takes off from a grass strip at a small airport and looks up and sees a twin-engine going by and says, “That’s where I want to be.” The twin-engine pilot looks up and sees the con-trail of a jet and says, “That’s where I want to be.” The jet pilot is up flying and sees the space shuttle going up and says, “That’s where I want to be.” Finally, the space shuttle captain looks down, and sees a little single-engine plane flying below and says, “That’s where I want to be.”

So that’s where I am, flying for over 50 years, and still soaring with the Young Eagles. I’m always looking forward to the next flight.

Schaefer and his wife, Sharron, are members at St. James in Sewickley, where she also is associate music minister.

Certainly no other dessert is more welcome during the hot summer months. Many recipes are easy to make in an old-fashioned hand-cranked churn or an electric ice cream. My favorite is the French vanilla. It’s better to make the custard mix a day

ahead and chill in the refrigerator in the ice cream can overnight.

There are several different kinds of electric ice cream freezers, with some of the newer ones having the removable cores that have to be frozen, and you don’t have to use ice and salt as with the other models that are electric, but otherwise operate just like old-fashioned hand-cranked freezers.

The following instructions are for the freez-

ers that use ice and salt. For a 4-quart model, you need about 20 pounds of crushed or cubed ice, and about six cups of rock salt. If your freezer comes with specific direc-tions, you may follow those, but these should work for you. When you first purchased your freezer, you should have noticed a small cork that’s essential when you’re ready to ripen

the ice cream after it’s made.After you have mixed up your ingredients

and have put them in the clean can, making certain to fill it only to the fill line (on any can, leave at least 3 inches of head space to allow for expansion of the frozen mixture), chill in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight for the best taste and texture. The next day, put the dasher in the can, put the lid on, set the can in the freezer pail and set the motor

or crank on top and fasten it in place. Then add layers of ice and salt in proportions of about 3 cups of rock salt to 15 pounds of ice. Pour about a cup of water over the mixture to

make it easier for the can to spin. The mixture should freeze in about 30 minutes. If you try to speed up the freezing by adding more salt, the ice cream will be grainy and not as smooth. If it takes longer than 30 minutes, the longer churning may turn some of the fat into butter, and the ice cream will have a slightly greasy feel in the mouth — it will still taste fine.

But if it freezes at about the right speed, when the motor stops running, or by hand, when you can’t run the crank any more, care-fully pour off brine through the overflow hole, remove the crank, open the can, and remove the dasher, scraping ice cream back down into the can.Stir with a long-handled spoon to evenly distribute the harder ice cream from around the outside, replace the lid, and put the cork into the hole in the lid. Add another 5 pounds of ice and about 3 more cups of rock salt, in layers, cover with newspaper and weight it down and let it sit for about an hour and it will be nice and hard for serving. Or, to make it easy, simply take the can, remove the dasher as instructed earlier, replace the lid and set it in your refrigerator’s freezer compartment if the shelves are tall enough. Again, it will be ready to serve in an hour or less. Of course, if you like soft-serve consis-tency, you can start dipping right away — but it’s better when it ripens for awhile.

You may add toppings of your choice—sauces, fresh fruit, nuts, or just eat it plain. Regardless of how you serve it, any day is improved with home made ice cream.

200 Years and CountingMembers of founding families visit St. Patrick Church

in Sugar Creek, Armstrong County

Many of the early pioneers came to the “Donegal Settlement” in western Pennsyl-vania in the early 1790s from the Lough Erne area of County Donegal, Ireland. In a poem authored by Jerry Monaghan, the voyage on the ship Eliza of these pioneers reads, in part:

“On the fourth of June, in the afternoon, We sailed from Lon-donderry … September ninth we took our leave of Captain, mate, and sailors … We gave three cheers for old Ireland … and parted from each other.”

Among the 90 families on board the Eliza were those who eventually settled in western Armstrong and northern Butler counties. Names such as O’Donnell, Boyle, Black, Dougherty, McLaughlin, Gallagher, Dougan, Coyle and Benson were among those who settled in this area, founding the earliest English-speaking Catholic church west of the Alleghenies, St. Patrick Church. The work on the log cabin church was com-pleted in 1806. The church was restored in 1926 and still stands where it was once built in 1806. Tourists are welcome during the summer months to visit the historic church and its adjoining cemetery where the tomb-stones of the earliest settlers still mark their gravesites.

The church itself was built by the pioneers with their own tools and oxen. They hauled and hewed the logs for the four sides of the church. The scarcity of nails prolonged the building of the church and the making of the shingles was likewise a difficult task. The Stations of the Cross were formed into the

sides of the interior walls. A small balcony was added for additional seating. Although a visiting priest was rare in the early years of the church, families walked to the services from as far as 10 miles away!

Over the years from the start of this log cabin church, another St. Patrick Church was built nearby and it served area families up to its recent closing as a worship site by the Diocese of Greensburg. The history of this St. Patrick Church shows it first being built in 1842 and destroyed by fire in 1872; the second church built in 1877 and destroyed by fire in 1929; and the third church, which was restored in 1930. Ground was broken for this new church on Oct. 3, 1929, and the

cornerstone was laid by Father Stephen Benson on Nov. 24, 1929. Father Benson, a priest from the Diocese of Pittsburgh, was my great-uncle.

On July 30, 2006, descendants of these earliest pioneers and members of the church throughout its modern history gathered to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the church that stands as a testament to the sacrifices and long-standing Catholic faith of the people who lived and continue to live in this area. Among the celebrants at the anniversary celebration were myself, my wife and children and other member families. My maternal ancestry includes my mother, Mary Ruth Benson Paserba, and her great-great-great-grandparents, who were all founders and members of this early church, including Benson, McLaughlin, Gallagher, Dougan, Dougherty and Coyle.

Even though we celebrate Divine Mercy Sun-day the week after Easter Sunday, pray-ing the Divine Mercy Chaplet is an ongoing devotion throughout the year for many of the faithful.

If anyone wants to combine a vacation trip with an educational opportunity, consider “Divine Mercy 101,” a presentation by Brother Chris Alar on Saturday, Aug. 4, 9 a.m.-noon at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy, Eden Hill 2 Prospect Road in Stockbridge, Mass.

The free program provides an overview of Divine Mercy and its key aspects. They include Divine Mercy Sunday, a feast day on which great graces are promised to the faithful, as revealed by Jesus to St. Faustina. Other topics in the program include the connection between the Divine Mercy image and the Shroud of Turin; the Chaplet of Divine Mercy as a powerful intercessory prayer, especially for the dying; and the life and mission of St. Faustina, described as a mystic and visionary.

Brother Chris said, “This is a great opportunity for anyone who has always wanted to know about Divine Mercy, or who wants to enrich their knowledge of Catholicism, to learn some of the deeper aspects of our faith.”

Brother Chris entered the Marians of the

‘There is nothing the world needs more than Divine Mercy.’

(Pope John Paul II, Shrine of The Divine Mercy, Lagiewniki, Poland, June 7, 1997)

Immaculate Conception as a postulant in July 2006. He earlier earned a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering and an MBA from the

University of Michigan. After working for a Fortune 500 company and then his

own consulting company, he studied philosophy at Franciscan University in Steubenville, and is finishing a master’s in theology at Holy Apostles in Cromwell, Conn. He resides and works at the national shrine.

The national shrine site at Eden Hill was purchased by the Marians in

1943 to serve as a residence for those entering the novitiate or a home for those en-tering the religious life. As the community was established, the chapel included a side altar for Divine Mercy Sunday, but the number of pil-grims grew, and they decided to build a shrine that was started in 1950, dedicated in 1960. In 1996, the shrine, built in honor of Divine Mercy and Mary Immaculate, was honored with the title of National Shrine of The Divine Mercy.

In 2000, St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, the secretary of Divine Mercy, was canonized on Divine Mercy Sunday and the feast of Divine Mercy officially proclaimed by Pope John Paul II at St. Peter’s in Rome. The shrine is the site for the largest celebration in the Northeast of the feast of Divine Mercy, which is held each year on the Sunday after Easter.

Parow is chief communications and publicity officer, Association of Marian Helpers, Stockbridge, Mass.

The history of The Chaplet ofThe Divine MercyIn 1935, St. Faustina received a vision of

an angel sent by God to chastise a certain city. She began to pray for mercy, but her prayers were powerless. Suddenly she saw the holy Trinity and felt the power of Jesus’ grace within her. At the same time she found herself pleading with God for mercy with words she heard interiorly:

Eternal Father, I offer you the body and blood, soul and divinity of your dearly be-loved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in atone-ment for our sins and those of the whole world; for the sake of his sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us. (Diary, 475)

As she continued saying this inspired prayer, the angel became helpless and could not carry out the deserved punishment (see 474). The next day, as she was entering the

chapel, she again heard this interior voice, instructing her how to recite the prayer that our Lord later called “the chaplet.” This time, after “have mercy on us” were added the words “and on the whole world” (476). From then on, she recited this form of prayer almost constantly, offering it especially for the dying.

The Chaplet ofThe Divine MercyHow to recite the chaplet

The Chaplet of Mercy is recited using ordinary rosary beads of five decades. The chaplet is preceded by two opening prayers from the diary of St. Faustina and followed by a closing prayer.

1. Make the sign of the crossIn the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

2. Optional opening prayersYou expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty your-self out upon us. O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the heart of Jesus as a fountain of mercy for us, I trust in you!

3. Our FatherOur Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Headstones in the graveyard would reveal a different set of work and life skills, including my fourth great-grandfather, who was John Coyle. He was a linen weaver in County Donegal, arriving in America in 1791 and manufactured linen goods for local demand in the Sugar Creek area. The town of Coylesville is named for him. Another gravesite identifies a fifth great-grandfather, Marcus McLaughlin, born in 1744, and a fourth great-grandfather Patrick McLaughlin, born in 1765 in County Donegal.

He erected a cabin in the Donegal Settlement of Sugar Creek, reared a large family and farmed on 400 acres of land. Still another fourth great-grandfather was Hugh Gallagher, arriving about 1800 from County Donegal and settling on 300 acres of land in the same area. And, the Dougan family too settled in this area, yet another fourth great-grandparent named Dennis Dougan. Arriving on the ship Eliza, Dennis and his family settled on 200 acres of land in this area and engaged in farming. These families and their descendants founded and attended the Catholic churches in this general area, including St. Patrick and St. John, Coylesville. There are still stained-glass win-dows donated at the time to St. John Church and bearing the Dougan family name.

“The fun of softball and the enjoyment of others is what this activity is all about. Don’t let your senior years just slip away.” That is the theme of the North Allegheny County Senior Softball League, where I play ball. It is a slow-pitch league comprised of 16 teams —ages 53 and up in two age divisions — who play at the Senior Softball Complex in North Park. I first began playing softball about 10

years ago for a team sponsored by Billy’s Bistro in Troy Hill and currently play for the Golden Eagles.

There was a gap of some 40 years from the last time I played organized ball to when

I joined this league. While initially playing for Billy’s I was primarily an outfielder and I played a little infield, but what I really want-ed to do was pitch. Pitching was not foreign to me. When my daughters were growing up, they were the pitchers on their respective teams in the Ingomar Franklin Park Athletic Association. I worked with them for many hours in our back yard, and all the hard work eventually paid off as both won Pennsylva-nia state championships at the age of 10. So

pitching softball is in our blood.

The pitcher on the Billy’s team was Norb Hrach, and he was very good, so I knew I would have to bide my time if I wanted to move from the outfield to the mound. Norb soon thereafter moved to another division in the league, and that cre-ated the opportunity for me to pitch. But I quickly found out that pitching is not simply about the mechanics of throwing strikes.

There is a lot of strategy involved. One of my teammates — Ron Eggert — helped me in this regard. He taught me about release angles, pitching pace, pushing and varying the ceiling height, when to pitch inside or outside, short or deep, and just plain know-

ing my opponent and the game situation. With slow pitch, it is very unlikely that you are going to strike out the batter. Instead, you want to throw pitches to which the batter cannot make solid contact, or hits towards the best gloves on your team. If I can get the batter to hit the ball where I want rather than where he wants, I feel I have done my job.

So all of you out there who think you are either too old, too injured, too out-of-shape or don’t have enough time to practice a lot, why not come out and join us? We’re out there with some of our best friends, play-ing the game because we love it. Though we may be a bit slower than we were in our younger years, that does not mean we play with any less competitive fire than we did before. It’s an exten-sion of life for us. It keeps us young.

Check out our website at www.nacssl.com. Hopefully we’ll see you next spring.

When we were kids, in my paternal grandparents’ house was a light-up clos-et. When you opened the closet door, the light came on and there was this life-size charcoal portrait of James “Pud” Galvin in a baseball uniform, holding a baseball. He was my great-grandfather. We grew up on stories of Pud.

Baseball was part of my family’s his-tory. My grandmother was selling her house in the 1960s and the person who was interested in buying it happened to be affiliated with the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. He saw the portrait in the closet and wanted to get more information from my grandfather. After research on Pud’s career was done, Pud was inducted into the Base-ball Hall of Fame in 1965, posthumously, of course.

My grandfather and his sister were the only two of 11 children left, and they were presented with complimentary plaques of Pud at the induction ceremo-ny. Whenever you entered the front door of my grandparents’ house, the plaque

of Pud was right there. It was, and is, very special to everyone in our family. The plaque from my grandfather has since passed on to me.

The following text on Judith Ostrowski’s great-grandfather, James Francis Galvin, comes from a book published by the Cooperstown Hall of Fame. Pud Galvin

His was not a household name, yet only five major league pitchers won more games in their careers than James (Pud) Galvin. He was the Walter Johnson of his time, blazing fastballs past bewildered batters.

Galvin hurled more innings (5,959) than any other pitcher except Cy Young.

He pitched two no-hitters for Buffalo, against Worcester and Detroit, and his gem against Detroit followed a one-hitter against the same club.

Galvin accounted for the first two victo-ries scored by the Pittsburgh club in the National League, beating John Clarkson of Chicago, 6-2, and Lady Baldwin of Detroit, 8-3, in 1887.

After the powerful Providence team won 20 straight games in 1884, he shut out the Grays, beating Old Hoss Radbourn, 2-0.

Still, with his convincing credentials, it required the passage of 63 years after his death for Galvin to be elected to the Hall of Fame.

Sometimes he was called “Gentle James,” in tribute to his personality. Other times he was known as “Pud,” as in pudding, which, it was said, he made of opposing batters.

Galvin placed little stock in the curve as a pitching weapon, relying on his fastball and control to register 46 victories in both 1883 and 1884. In ‘83, he worked a staggering 656 innings.

Buck Ewing, incomparable New York catcher, insisted that “If I had Galvin to catch, no one would ever steal a base on me. That fellow keeps ‘em glued to the base, and he also has the best control of any pitcher in the league.”

Galvin’s control was short of Ewing’s high praise during one game in 1886 as he walked three consecutive batters. But to the base-runners’ chagrin, they learned about Pud’s knack of keeping runners “glued.” Each was picked off base.

Gentle James was all but invincible for Buffalo during a six-day period in 1884. On Aug. 2, he pitched a one-hitter. Two days later, he hurled a three-hit shutout, and the next day he worked 11 scoreless innings before bowing, 1-0.

Late in the 1885 season, Pud was sold to the Allegheny (Pittsburgh) club of the American Association for $2,500, a princely sum of that day. He was given $700 from that amount, and handed a $1,000 raise by his new bosses, placing him in the $3,000 bracket.

The Buffalo owners’ cash-gift generosity was in sharp contrast to their earlier treatment of Galvin. Infuriated that he was given no raise after a 46-22 campaign in ‘84, Galvin went to San Francisco and joined an independent club. Tales of his magnificent feats filtered back to Buffalo, where the Bisons were slumping dismally. On May 11, the Buffalo Express carried the welcome news: “There is great rejoicing on the baseball front. Negotiations have been opened with Gentle James.”

Galvin rejoined the Buffalo club and

posted a 13-19 record before being sold to Allegheny.

Although his lifetime batting average was barely above .200, Galvin played the outfield and once performed at shortstop.

An eye injury, suffered when struck by a pitched ball, made Gen-tle James gun-shy in later years, and a fractured leg, suffered in a collision with Cap Anson of Chicago, created idle time that boosted Pud’s weight over 200 pounds by the time he retired in 1894.

Galvin umpired for one season in the National League before returning to Pittsburgh, where he opened one of the largest cafes in the city.

The father of 11, he once wisecracked that he should organize a family team and call it the “Galvinized Nine.”

Galvin went broke. And, on Thanksgiving Day 1901, he was taken sick with a stomach ailment. Less than four months later, at age 45, Galvin died.

Galvin, a friend of President Grover Cleveland, lived his final months in a rooming house on Pittsburgh’s lower North Side.

Pud Galvin’s blazing fastball made him the Walter Johnson of the 19th century.


As summer temperatures continue to soar in the Pittsburgh area, all of us, especially the elderly and those with chronic medical problems, need to be reminded of the dangers associated with extremely hot weather.

The most common heat-related illnesses are: (1) heat cramps, (2) heat exhaustion and (3) heat stroke.

Heat cramps are painful muscle spasms, usually in the calves, thighs and abdomen. You can help to prevent these cramps if you stretch your muscles before you exer-cise and drink plenty of fluids, especially those rich in electrolytes. Avoid caf-feine and alcohol.

Heat exhaustion is a heat-related illness that may occur after your body has been exposed to high temperatures

for several days and you become dehydrated. Common signs and symptoms include heavy sweating, weakness, nausea, headache, light-headedness, mild confusion, rapid heart rate and dark-colored urine. If you think you have heat exhaustion, get out of the heat quickly. Rest in a building that has air-conditioning or find a cool, shady area. Remove all tight and

unnecessary clothing, drink plenty of water and take a cool shower or bath or

apply cold water to your skin. If you do not feel better within 30 minutes, contact your doctor because untreated heat exhaustion

can lead to heat stroke.Heat stroke is the most serious heat-

related illness and is a medical emergency. It occurs when the body is overwhelmed by heat and unable to control its temperature. The hallmark sign of heat stroke is a body temperature of greater than 104 degrees F. Other commonly associated signs and symptoms include a lack of sweating, rapid breathing and rapid heart rate, severe headache, nausea with vomiting, confusion, seizures and loss of consciousness. If not treated immediately, heat stroke can lead to brain damage, organ failure and even death. If you think someone might have heat stroke, call 911! While awaiting medical help, assist the victim by moving them to a cool area, removing all tight and unnecessary clothing and apply cold water to the skin.

What can you do to prevent heat-related illness? When the heat index is high, stay indoors in air-conditioned areas. (The heat index is a measurement of how hot it feels when relative humidity is combined with the effects of the air temperature. A heat index of greater than 90 degrees is considered dangerous.) If you must go outside, take the following precautions: wear lightweight clothing, including a hat; use sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 15 or more; and drink plenty of water.

Do medications increase your risk for heat stroke? Yes, some medicines for al-lergies (antihistamines), heart conditions (beta-blockers and vasoconstrictors), mental illness (antidepressants and anti-psychotics) and seizures (anticonvulsants) may make you more likely to get a heat-related illness. Diuretics, laxatives, diet pills, sedatives, caffeine and alcohol may also increase your risk. Ask your doctor or phar-macist if your medicines put you at risk for heat-related illness.

Enjoy the rest of your summer and beat the heat. Don’t let the heat beat you!
