The Florida Catholic • March 31, 2006
From the Synod Office:
Home-schooling families invited to take part in the synod
As par t of the Diocese of
Orlando Synod, Starting Afresh
From Christ, the home-schooling
families of the diocese are invited
to take part in a listening session
with Bishop Thomas Wenski,
Monday, April 10, from 7 to 9 p.m.
at St. Joseph Catholic Church,
1501 N. Alafaya Trail, in east
Orlando.
“There is no more intimate
way to keep the faith alive than
to live it and teach it in the
home,” asserts Lee Crocker, a
parishioner at St. Teresa Catholic
Church in Mims.
Crocker, who briefly served on
the Catholic Schools Commission,
is a home-schooling parent and
is working in conjunction with
the Synod Office to organize
the event.
After prayer and
opening comments
from Bishop
Wenski, participants
will be asked to
reflect briefly on
three questions.
A microphone
will then be made
available to those
who wish to share with the
bishop any thoughts generated
by these questions. T wo
minutes will be allotted to each
individual. In order to ensure
that everyone’s comments are
heard and considered, a written
questionnaire will also be
provided.
The following
questions indicate the
themes on which
the bishop will be
seeking the guidance
and counsel of
the home-school
community:
1. Why do you
home-school?
2. What impediments
to home-schooling have you
experienced in the diocese?
3. How can the diocese help
create a better relationship with
your home-school and with
the rest of the home-school
population?
The listening session presents
an important opportunity for the
home-school community to share
with Bishop Wenski their reasons
for home-schooling, their needs
as a growing population in the
diocese and their vision for
bringing Catholic values to their
children and to the world.
Julie Pringle, a mother of six
who attends Holy Spirit Catholic
Church in Mims, reminds fellow
Catholic parents, “As Catholic
families, we are called to live out
our faith as a ‘little church.’”
Crocker, who speculates
that more than a thousand
Catholic families in the Diocese
of Orlando home-school their
children, hopes that improved
communication will be one of the
fruits of the listening session.
“We need access to our
brothers and sisters in Christ
who are journeying on this same
path to sanctity,” he said.
The listening session is open
to all Catholics in the Diocese
of Orlando who home-school
their children or who have an
interest in the home-schooling
movement.

listening session or the Diocese of
Orlando Synod, please contact the

ordained April 28, 1956, at St.
Michael’s Monaster y Church,
Union City, N.J., at the hands of
Bishop Cuthbert M. O’Gara.
After ordination to the
priesthood, he was sent to Rome
for doctoral studies in theology
at Gregorian University and later

Volusia council
celebrates 35 years
Family Life column

DELAND
More than 250 guests came to St. Peter
Parish in Deland last month to celebrate
the 35th anniversar y of the West Volusia
Council 6274 of the Knights of Columbus
and recognize Frank Johnson, retiring
financial secretar y.
Bishop Thomas Wenski launched
the festivities with opening remarks
and praised Council 6274 on its 35-year
journey of loyal and continuous ser vice
to church and community. He reminded
ever yone about the role of the church
and the multitude of social and charitable
endeavors that must continue.
The bishop noted the increase of
seminarians and praised the suppor t
given to new seminarians by the Knights
of Columbus. Bishop Wenski, also a
Knight, concluded his remarks with a
blessing that included the Polish saying,
“smacznego” or “good appetite.”
Lar r y Kavinski, grand Knight,
pr esented Bishop Wenski with the
book, “A Parish Priest,” which describes
the life of Knights of Columbus founder
Father Michael J. McGivney. Father
McGivney created the Knights in 1882
as a way for laymen to grow in holiness
while contributing to their parishes and
communities. The cause for canonization
of Father McGivney was opened in
1997.
Peter Woods, event chairman and
past grand Knight, said, “I thought the
program was going south about 9:30 this
morning because the guest of honor,
Frank Johnson, had spent the day in the
hospital. He’s coming in a wheelchair and
he still doesn’t know a thing about it.”
Johnson was indeed surprised when
Bishop Wenski called his name for a
special honor. Speakers and testimonials
abounded, thanking Johnson for his 30
years of ser vice.
“I was elected in November 1971 and I
have never been without an office in the
Knights,” Johnson said. “As of July, I will
then get a chance to sit in the galler y and
see how a meeting goes.”
Memories flowed as Ed Zwicker
r emember ed the early days of the
council. “Thir ty-five years ago we had
our first meeting in a room at the Putnum
Hotel,” Zwicker, the first treasurer,
said.
“Our activities then would pale
compared with what the Knights do
now. The organization has grown from
its original handful to more than 258
members.”
State Chaplain, Father Edward
McCarthy, called the accomplishments of
the organization, “phenomenal.” he said,
“Ninety-seven cents out of ever y dollar
raised goes back to the community.”
Woods said, “We suppor t abuse
shelters, Boy and Girl Scouts, crisis
pregnancy centers, education of priests
and nuns. And we follow the four
principles of Knights: charity, unity,
fraternity and patriotism.”

Starting family Easter traditions
At a religious educators’ conference
in the 1970s, the speaker began by
saying, “Liturgy is the celebration of its
participants!” He was, of course, speaking
of the parish church. But the same is true
of our “domestic churches.” Our liturgies
and our rituals stem from the celebration
of family participants. These rituals are
called family traditions.
My dad was a gardener. We had the
prettiest roses on Rowland Street and he
won prizes for his dahlias at the county
fair, producing blossoms as big as your
face. They were beautiful on the October
Mar y altars. But what my younger
brother and I found most intriguing were
the seedlings. Radishes and marigolds
were the quickest to grow; we checked
on them ever y day.
My favorite family tradition fit my
family. This Easter tradition was born of
having more kids than money and more
imagination than time. I was one of six
children and both parents worked. We
did not have the resources for candyladen baskets like our cousins. We had
something better: We planted lollipop
seeds.
The seeds were planted on Palm
Sunday and if one behaved and was ver y
good, lollipops “blossomed” on Easter
Sunday. We gathered them ourselves. I
don’t recall when I became old enough
to help grow the sweets for my younger
siblings, but I know I had fun. I remember
scaring a neighbor as I pranced around
the yard with my hair still in curlers
wrapped in a scarf, inserting sticks into
the ground; he thought I was a prowler. I
remember creating nests in the snow and
the ant infestation; no candy that year.
One of the strongest value-building
experiences of family life is that of
traditions.
We celebrate what we value. When
more is made of the Super Bowl than of
Easter, what are we teaching the children?
Each family has traditions, whether they
know it or not.
We all have stories of the raw eggs
getting mixed in with the hard-boiled ones
on Easter Saturday, don’t we? (Please say,
“Yes.”) Do you have stains on the kitchen
counter that bring back fond memories
of Paas’s egg coloring? Have you found a
jellybean under the sofa cushion in July?
The Holy Spirit works in amazing ways
and teaches experientially. It is important
to stop and ask the children what they
are learning.
My husband and I continued this
tradition of planting lollipop seeds with
our children who thought they were quite
tricky planting the seeds under the porch,
just to see what would happen. Moving
to Florida caused a surprise. The seeds
that produced only candy in New England
actually took root and grew flowers in
Florida. It took us a while to realize where
the random sunflowers had come from
our first summer in the Sunshine State.
This year I will send packets of lollipop
seeds to our grandchildren for Palm
Sunday planting. And we will all praise
him, the one who helps us to be good and
gives us new life at Easter.
How to start Easter traditions
Heidi Peckham, director of the Family
Life Office, offers ideas for parents and
children to create their own Easter traditions.
The Easter season ends on Pentecost, 50 days
after Easter.
How to create family Easter traditions
that promote love and understanding.
When you want to create a tradition:
• Talk about it.
• Name it.
• Plan it.
• Execute it.
• Review it. Talk about what part each
person likes best.
• Share it.
• Repeat it.
Easter tradition ideas may include:
• Hiding “love notes” to each other
along with, or instead of, eggs. Tell your
children that God loves them and why you
love them.
• Find a bare branch in the back yard
and decorate it with paper eggs. Then
record prayers of thanks, praise, reparation
or thanksgiving on the eggs. Teach the
children the difference between them and
the importance of each.
• Each evening after supper, add an egg
each time a family member says a prayer
for someone.
• Plan an Easter breakfast picnic. If it
rains, put the blanket on the floor of the
family room.
• Take an Easter stroll around your
block wearing your Easter finest. Invite
your neighbors to join you. You can create
your own Easter parade by asking the
children to identify all the new life they
see.
• Find a Scripture passage and record
just the name and numbers on a piece of
paper. Let others find the paper then look
up the Scripture.
• Keep an index card in each of your
Easter baskets. Record the date and who
used it and what they liked best about
each year’s Easter.
• Share some traditions from your
family of origin with your children. Ask
them which ones they would like to
carry on.
• Go to the library and look up books
about Easter celebrations in different
countries. Find a recipe or tradition from
a foreign land or the land of your family’s
heritage to bring home to reenergize
your family’s Easter celebration.
• Begin a tradition of morning and
evening prayer or grace before and
after meals if you do not do so already.
Children need to be taught gratitude
and parents are the first and foremost
teachers.
• Review your Lenten exercises.
Which ones produced new life? What
was learned? What will you do differently
next year?
To share a family tradition for any
holiday, please e-mail FamilyLifeOff@orla

Santo subito! Sainthood now for man
of all seasons: Pope John Paul II
Sunday, April 2, will mark the first
anniversary of Pope John Paul II’s entry
into eternal life. Last year, it seemed that
the world stood still for a
week as some 5 million
mourners, most of them
young people, streamed
into Rome to pay their
last respects and of fer
grateful prayers for this
pilgrim pope. His legacy
of clear and confident
teachings will continue
to enrich and inspire the
Church for centuries to come. His constant
exhortation, “Be not afraid,” has inspired
Catholics ever ywhere, especially the
young, to “put out into the deep” and
embark on a new evangelization in a stormy
and uncertain world.
As a bishop, he attended each of the
sessions of the Second Vatican Council.
As pope, through his many writings and
sermons, he outlined and promoted
the Council’s authentic implementation,
emphasizing the universal call to holiness
of all the faithful, an anthropology open to
transcendence, and what could be called
“the theology of the gift,” that is, happiness
and the fulfillment of man’s deepest
aspirations is found not by seeking self but
through the gift of self.
By fearlessly preaching the Gospel, “in
season and out of season,” he embraced
the world, convinced that the Church
would be faithful to her
mission neither by fleeing
from the world nor by
surrendering to it, but
by engagement with the
world. His was the path
of dialogue. The Church,
he was convinced, had
something to say, a Word
to share. And that Word
was Jesus Christ. On the
first day of his pontificate in October 1978,
he began by challenging the Church
and the world: “Be not afraid to open the
doors to Christ!” He was not an uncertain
trumpeter: Because of his witness, because
of his courage, doors were not only
opened but walls came tumbling down(cf.
Joshua).
A man of many gifts, John Paul II
brought to the papacy great human
qualities and profound spiritual virtues. He
was an intellectual who nevertheless could
preach with the common touch of a parish
priest. He was a man of great discipline,
exercising almost superhuman control of a
frail and sick body to continue his mission
and to be present to his flock. He was also
a man of prayer, able to summon deep
powers of concentration and recollection
in order to contemplatively and mystically
commune with God.
During the funeral rites last year, a gust
of wind blew shut the Book of the Gospels
which had been laid opened on his simple
wooden casket, providentially symbolizing
the closing of a significant chapter in our
Catholic Church’s 2,000-year histor y.
Banners that dotted the mass of humanity
gathered in St. Peter’s Square and beyond
on that day fluttered in that same wind
and proclaimed: Santo Subito! (Sainthood
Now!).
He himself canonized more saints
than any pope in histor y and did so to
underscore the fact that it is holiness which
expresses best the mystery of the Church.
Holiness is, he taught us, “a message that
convinces without need for words and is a
living reflection of the face of Christ.” John
Paul II, in his word and in his life, has given
us a message that is convincing, a message
of hope, a message about Jesus Christ, the
source of our hope.
Santo Subito! Today, one year later, this
expression of the vox populi is echoed
throughout the world as countless numbers
of the faithful fer vently pray for the
canonization of this Servant of God who in a
time of turmoil and uncertainty confidently
led the Church into the third millennium.
Bishop Moore baseball coach earns 300th win
Debra Tomaselli
ORLANDO
Bishop Moore’s Varsity baseball team
celebrated Coach Dave Wheeler’s 300 win
recently, a goal he set when he assumed the
coaching position 13 years ago.
As the Hornets prepared to play Trinity
Catholic High School of Ocala, Mike
Malatesta, athletic director, applauded
Wheeler’s accomplishments. He officially
named the field’s walkway “Coach Wheeler
Way” and thanked the coach for his
dedication to the school. Senator Mel
Martinez, a Bishop Moore alumnus, threw
the first pitch as parents roasted a pig for a
post-game celebration.
Wheeler’s Bishop Moore baseball
accomplishments include: Wheeler’s first
win — a victory over Ocala Vanguard, whose
pitcher Daunte Culpepper is now a National
Football League quarterback; defeating
Key West in 1997, breaking its national
high school winning streak; winning the
1999 National Classic in California and
earning a No. 2 national ranking; earning
eight district championships, five regional
championships, five trips to the state series
and two trips to the state championship
games.
Wheeler credited his success to his
assistants David Holbrook, Jim Decker and
Todd Staats, a supportive administration
and the involvement of team parents.
“The Lord was instrumental in providing
the program and an abundance of talent,”
he said.

“We represent the Catholic community,”

Wheeler regularly meets with seniors.
“We talk about showing leadership
skills, skills they can put to use in work
and in college. We talk about our beliefs
in God,” he said. “We talk about being
role models to the other players. We talk
about not throwing bats or talking back
to umpires.”
The composed, soft-spoken coach
practices what he preaches.
Pitcher Alex Mendez, a Bishop Moore
sophomor e, said Wheeler of fers a
calming influence on the team. Alex
was invited to pitch in last season’s state
tournament.
“I was ner vous,” he said. “But
Coach Wheeler’s presence was really
calming.”
When players are stressed about
earning college and professional status,
Wheeler counsels them.
“Keep working hard,” he says. “Don’t
worry about what’s going to happen next.
If it’s the Lord’s will that you play at the
next level, you will.”
Luis Costa, a 1997 Bishop Moore
alumnus, recalled when Wheeler
encouraged him, as a freshman, to
advance to varsity.
“I was scared, ner vous and excited,”
Costa said. “But I stayed on varsity and
went on to play at Yale University.”
Wheeler remains committed to Bishop
Moore.
“My goal was to win 300 games here,”
Wheeler said. “Now my goal is to win 600.
God willing, I’ll do it.”

thought I was a good Catholic,”
Vadia said.
Her older sister, Fifi, developed
a personal relationship with Jesus
and introduced Vadia to the Gospel.
She invited Vadia to a charismatic
prayer meeting in Coral Gables. It
was 1987.
Vadia went. “I looked very cute
in my miniskirt,” she said.
The meeting changed her life.
She couldn’t believe what she
saw. “Men were standing, arms
raised to God. They were talking
to Jesus, thanking him.”
The men began to pray in
tongues. Vadia prayed and asked
God to make her like these men.
She wanted all the gifts of the Holy
Spirit. Vadia later learned that her
sister and the women in her sister’s
church had been praying for her
for seven years.
It was later, at a Life in the Spirit
seminar, that Vadia repented and
gave her life to Jesus.
“I felt a burden lift of f my
shoulders. I was just filled with the
presence of the Lord. I was filled
with joy,” she said. “The Holy Spirit
helps us with everything.”
“For 37 years I lived with my
back to God,” Vadia said.
No more. Suddenly, she had a
desire to go to Mass, to pray and
to learn Scripture.
“I wanted to read the word of
God instead of going shopping,”
she said.
Vadia prayed with her children.
In the three days after being filled
with the Holy Spirit, it was evident
that one of the gifts she received
was patience.
“My son said to me, ‘Mom,
haven’t you noticed for three days
you have not screamed at me?’”
She tried sharing her
experiences with her husband,
but he did not want to hear it.
He believed his wealth was all he
needed.
“I kept praying for my husband,
but he didn’t want anything to do
with God,” Vadia said.
She recalled running into an
old friend. Both women and their
husbands used to travel together
and were part of the same social
circle. Her friend began to tell
Vadia about all the famous people
she had met, dropping name after
name. Vadia listened, waiting for
her turn to speak.
“Guess who I’ve met?” Vadia
asked.
“Who?” the woman replied.
“Jesus,” Vadia said. She never
heard from the woman again.
“I was living for Jesus Christ.
He had a plan and a purpose for
my life. Everything we need is
within him. Everything we need
is within the Spirit,” she said.
Then the storm clouds
darkened her family’s life. Vadia’s
husband told her not to write
any more checks because his
business was in trouble.
Her husband had always been
a millionaire. As his inheritance
dwindled, his anger grew and
his behavior became intolerable.

Then
he moved out.9/28/04 9:47 AM
“He left five broken hearts,”
Vadia said. “I was a single mom
‘We need to proclaim the Gospel. We need to
release the power of God, heal the sick.’
— Maria Vadia
with four kids. Before, I had a
blank check in my hand. Now, I
had nothing. I had to depend on
God 24 hours a day.”
Vadia prayed intensely for
three hours. She asked God to
make a way to keep her children
in Catholic school. She also
wanted to remain accessible to
her children and not have to work
a 9-to-5 job.
God made it possible.
In 1992, Vadia needed to sell
her house. The economy was
in a downturn. Many advised
her to wait, saying her house
wouldn’t sell in such a soft market.
Many homes in the prestigious
neighborhood remained on the
Page 1
market
for months.
“I never accept negative
reports,” she said. “Jesus has the
final report, a report of victory.”
Like Joshua breaking the walls
of Jericho, Vadia planned to break
the barriers to the sale of her
house. She circled her house
seven times, praying in English,
Spanish and in tongues.
Her house sold in less than two
and a half weeks.
Vadia began a healing ministry
and for 15 years she ministered
to homeless AIDS patients living
at Genesis, now closed, and to
women in prison. For 17 years
she has publicly proclaimed the
word of God.
Now, her children have all
graduated from college and two of
them are married. Vadia still prays
for her husband’s conversion,
hoping one day he will see the
light.
A5
“The word of God is light. Light
is more powerful than darkness,”
she said.
Vadia teaches a weekly class
at St. Louis Catholic Church
in Miami, her home parish, on
“healing through the word of God.”
She has written several books and
travels the world with her ministry.
She has been to Africa five times.
She visited Cuba as well. The day
after her presentation at Holy
Family Parish, she was heading
to Indonesia.
“We need to proclaim the
Gospel. We need to release the
power of God, heal the sick.
We need to release the power
of miracles. We need to release
Jesus,” Vadia said. “When people
in the world see our God is alive
and full of power, we are going
to see our churches are not big
enough to accommodate all the
people.”

national secretary of the Migration
Depar tment for Colombian
Episcopate in 1982. He returned to
Chicago in 1986 to serve as pastor
of Santa Maria Addolarata. In
1995, he was appointed executive
secretar y for the International
Catholic Migration Commission
in Bogota, Colombia.
Father Dalpiaz moved to
Florida in 2003 to serve as pastor
of Resurrection Church in Winter
Garden. His ministry continues
there.
“Perhaps the most treasured
aspect of my priesthood is my
ministr y to ser ve the people,
particularly the migrants,” Father
Dalpiaz said. “Throughout my
50 years as a priest, I have been
blessed to serve various migrant
populations in many countries of
the world.”
Father Gerald T.
Shovelton
Father Shovelton was born
Oct. 5, 1930, in Fall River, Mass.,
and educated in Catholic schools
in the area. He received his A.A.
degree from St. Charles College in
Catonsville, Md., and an A.B. from
St. John’s Seminary in Boston. He
was ordained Feb. 2, 1956, at the
hands of Bishop James Connolly.
After or dination, Father
Shovelton ser ved as assistant
pastor in a number of parishes
in Massachusetts, including St.
Patrick in Fall River, Sacred Heart
in Oak Bluffs, St. Mary in Trenton
and St. Thomas More in Somerset.
He returned for 11 months to St.
Patrick in Fall River before an
appointment as founding pastor
of St. Rita in Marion, March 1972.
He then served as pastor for St.
Ann in Raynham and Holy Trinity
in West Harwich.
He helped found Birthright,
an organization that provides an
alternative to abortion for women
who are pregnant and that is still
active in its ministry today. He
ser ved as dean of the Taunton
Deanery for nine years and dean
of the Cape Cod Deaner y for
approximately six years.
In recognition of his prolife ministr y, Father Shovelton
was awarded the John Cardinal
O’Connor Pro-Life Apostolate
Award for the Diocese of Fall River
Oct. 19, 2002.
He retired to the Diocese of
Orlando and helps out at St.
Timothy Catholic Church in Lady
Lake. He lives with his older
brother, William, who is also a
priest.
“After the passage of Roe v.
Wade, the important work of my
ministry was the establishment
of the Pro-Life Apostolates, one
for English-speaking and one for
Spanish-speaking people in the
Taunton/Raynham area,” Father
Shovelton said. “Meeting with
people one on one to help them
learn about the teachings of the
Catholic Church has always been
very rewarding and uplifting to
me.”
Father Norbert G.
Adelman, CPpS
Father Adelman was born Feb.
2, 1922, in Norwalk, Ohio. Before
entering college, he served in the
U.S. Navy as a torpedo man in
the South Pacific during World
War II.
He left the Navy at 25, seeking
a purpose in life. He spoke with
his pastor who suggested the
priesthood. He thought the idea of
the priesthood would surprise his
mother, but when he approached
her on the subject, she surprised
him by saying that she had been
praying for him to become a priest
and knew that he would.
He received his B.A. from the
University of Dayton, Ohio, in 1952.
He graduated from St. Charles
Seminary and was ordained June
2, 1956, at the hands of Bishop
Clarence Issenman.
Father Adelman, lovingly
known as Father Norb, served as
an associate pastor in a number
of parishes, predominately in
the Midwest, including Mar y
Immaculate, Kirksville, Mo.;
Sacred Heart, Sedalia, Mo.; St.
Boniface, Piqua, Ohio; and Sacred
Heart in Williamstown, Pa. In 1972
he was named pastor of St. Michael
Parish in Marywood, Ohio, and

in 1978 became provincial of
the Cincinnati province of the
Society of Precious Blood. He was
appointed pastor of St. Michael
Parish in Kalida, Ohio, in 1983.
Before his “semi-retirement”
in 1992, he served as director of
the Sorrowful Mother Shrine in
Marywood, Ohio. Afterward, he
came to the Diocese of Orlando
and has assisted at Nativity
Catholic Church in Longwood
ever since.
“Priesthood is the best thing
that ever happened to me,” Father
Adelman said. “It really turned my
life around. All of my success has
been because of God’s calling me
to the priesthood. In the Lord’s
name, I have met so many good
people who have helped me to
become a better man and a better
priest.”
Father Harry C. Wallace
Father Wallace was born June
12, 1926, in Binghamton, N.Y.
He attended public school and
converted to Catholicism when
he was 19 years old. He was
drafted and ser ved in the U.S.
Army during World War II. At
the completion of his ser vice,
he decided to become a priest.
He was ordained Feb. 2, 1956, at
the Cathedral of the Immaculate
Conception in Syracuse, N.Y.,
at the hands of Bishop Walter
Andrew Foery.
He received his B.A. and
an M.Div. with an emphasis in
ecumenism from St. Bernard’s
College and Seminar y in
Rochester, N.Y. After ordination,
he ser ved as associate pastor
and pastor to a number of
parishes in the Diocese of
Rochester. At the conclusion
of the Second Vatican Council,
Father Wallace was appointed
diocesan director of ecumenism
for the Diocese of Rochester.
Later he became president of the
National Association of Diocesan
Ecumenical Commissioners and
traveled throughout the country
to speak about ecumenism.
He moved to the Diocese
of Orlando and in 1992 was
appointed associate pastor of St.
Charles Parish in Orlando. He
also served as associate pastor
at St. Peter Parish in DeLand and
Our Lady of the Lakes Parish in
Deltona. Father Wallace retired
in 1998 and continues to assist
at the parishes of Epiphany in
Port Orange, Prince of Peace in
Ormond Beach and Our Lady of
Lourdes in Daytona Beach.
“The document on ecumenism
published by the bishops at the
Second Vatican Council was so
inspiring,” Father Wallace said.
“One idea put forth was that we
call members of other Christian
churches our brothers and sisters
in Christ and not heretics. We
were not looking for ever yone
to become Catholic, but rather
brothers and sisters in Christ;
family in Christ. I am thankful to
have been a part of spreading this
good news.”
