LYNN RAMSEY
of the Florida Catholic staff
ORLANDO — Joseph Coicou
helped revive a Knights of Columbus council. He serves as his council’s program director. He’s the deputy grand Knight.
He’s 25.
Coicou, Martin Dunne and others are breathing new life into a
Catholic institution that, like other
institutions in Florida, seemed to
be the realm of retirees. They bring
proof that there is room for young
blood in the Knights of Columbus.
Peter Bishop, the Knights’ state
membership coordinator, said the
Florida Knights are expecting to
add 3,200 to their membership of
nearly 49,000 this year, at least 400
of them through a special membership drive this month. Bishop
credits the newcomers for helping
the state council earn a spot in the
Knights’ national Circle of Honor
for 16 consecutive years.
Ages of newcomers “run anywhere from 18 on up,” Bishop said.
“We have a lot of new members. The
average age of the order is 52, but in
Florida the average age is 42, even
with the pensioners.”
Bishop said most of the membership comes from councils affiliated with parishes. Others, such as
Coicou’s council in the Palm Beach
Diocese, take in multiple parishes.
Florida also has four college councils and is looking to add more.
Service to the Church attracts
new members the most. “I’m finding more people wanting to make
a difference with their lives, not
just going day to day,” said Dunne,
a 29-year-old past grand Knight of
Council 4955 in Deerfield Beach.
“They have a combination of obligations to their families, their jobs,

Father Vilaire Philius into the brotherhood of priests
at his ordination ceremony May 30 at the Cathedral of
St. James in Orlando. “My friends, today we give God
thanks for having called Vilaire to the priesthood; and
we thank Vilaire for freely accepting this call — and all
that it entails — with great generosity and love,” said
Bishop Wenski in his homily.
At right, newly ordained Father Philius, right, is vested
in a chasuble for the first time with the assistance of
Salesians of John Bosco Fathers Lucien Pierre, left, and
Quesnel Delvard. In his homily Bishop Wenski said, “And
in welcoming this new brother into our priestly fraternity,
we — your bishop and your priests — grow in an even
greater appreciation of all that God has done through
us — despite our admitted shortcomings. Inspired by the
generosity of Vilaire, we also renew our commitment to
our vocation to follow Christ, the source of our hope, the
hope that does not disappoint” (cf., Rom 5:5).

Local pilot helps Divine Mercy fifth-graders soar
Yvonne Martinez
MERRITT ISLAND — Terry
Ryan believes dreams do come true.
She’s living proof of that. A former
marketing and advertising professional turned pilot 20 years ago, the
50-year-old commercial airline pilot
now inspires the next generation of
fliers not only to dream big dreams,
but also to pursue them without
prejudice, fear or limitations.
Ryan’s message is reaching a
group of fifth-graders at Divine
Mercy Catholic School, where for
about six weeks in early spring they
stepped outside the boundaries of
a routine science classroom and
into a virtual world of geography,
physics, math, writing and other
core subjects, all based on aviationrelated activities. It was all part of
Southwest Airlines “Adopt-A-Pilot”
program and Southwest first officer
Ryan’s commitment to inspiring
young people to be all they can be.
“It’s an absolutely wonderful
program that gets kids excited not
just about aviation, but we try to
encourage them to study and stay
in school,” Ryan said. “We really
emphasize goal-setting and staying
in school.”
For the students, it was a way to
turn a routine school curriculum
into something fun. “They loved it;
they absolutely loved it,” said fifthgrade teacher Meredith Thiebes
of her students. “We start in fifth
grade talking about careers and try
to get them thinking about what
they might want to do. It’s exciting
because they are so involved in it.
They never got bored.”
From Day 1, Ryan had the stu-

dents fully engaged in the physics
of flying, the mathematics of fuel
consumption as it relates to air
speed and wind direction, the geography of traveling through major
cities in the United States and what
is unique about places like Chicago,
Denver, Phoenix, Minneapolis and
other Southwest Airlines cities.
Ryan sent postcards from layover
cities and kept in contact with the
students via e-mail. In their classroom the students kept a pin map of
all the cities where Ryan flew. The
lessons were hitting home.
“I was really impressed with what
they remembered,” Thiebes added.
“Things like what makes a plane
take off. There’s a lot of science involved, a lot of academics, and now
ORL A2
a few of our kids want to be pilots.”
On the last day of the program
Ryan surprised the class of 21 students with a field trip to Merritt Island’s Voyager Aviation where chief
flight instructor Patti Vest, along
with other flight instructors, let
the students have a little hands-on
learning. The students experienced
a preflight checklist on the flight
line, climbed aboard four different types of airplanes from a small
single-engine trainer up to a twinengine aircraft, practiced on a flight
simulator and participated in demonstrations involving weight and
balance.
“It lit the fire,” Ryan said of the
field trip. “I enjoy inspiring the children to dream about what they can
do and letting them know they can
do anything they set their minds
to.”
Southwest Airlines created the
Adopt-A-Pilot program in 1997. It
originally started as a small community-outreach program in just
50 classrooms in Southwest’s destination cities. It has grown to more
than 800 classrooms in large and
small communities nationwide.
The program was developed in
cooperation with the U.S. Department of Education and the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and
Space Museum. National leaders
such as Gen. Colin Powell, former
President Bill Clinton and former
first lady Laura Bush have recognized the excellence of the AdoptA-Pilot program. Ryan brought the
program to Divine Mercy Catholic
School three years ago.
“The program was just really
great for the classroom,” Thiebes
said. “The students learn so much
more when they have fun.”
For Ryan, it’s about leading by
example and encouraging the students with guidance and firsthand
knowledge. Each day she prays,
“Dear Lord, help me to do my best
today to serve my company, my passengers and my fellow crewmembers, but most importantly, to serve
you.” n

Special to the Florida Catholic
ORLANDO — Stepping out of

Mouse held a bouquet of balloons,
surprising eighth-grader Natalia Rivera in her classroom at St. Charles
Borromeo Catholic School in Orlando.
The May 11 ceremony, including
a trophy and cake, honored Natalia’s
work in creating “A Kid for a Kid”
program to aid an orphanage in the
Democratic Republic of Congo.
As her parents, grandparents,
classmates and Orlando City Commissioner Robert Stewart joined in
the celebration, Natalia turned to
her fellow classmates and said, “I
couldn’t have done this without all
of your help. You helped me make
this happen.”
It was a desire to help African
children orphaned by war and disease that inspired Natalia to create
a community service project that
reached halfway around the world
and earned the eighth-grader a significant award.
Natalia was the only middle

Orlando, visits Walt Disney World as
part of her recognition as a Disney
“Dreamer and Doer.”
ORLANDO — Meredith
Lilley, a fifth-grader at St.
Charles Borromeo Catholic
School here, was named an
elementary school “Dreamer and Doer” by Walt Disney World for making a
difference in the community through her volunteer
work.
Disney recognized Meredith for her work on behalf
of two Orlando families
who were facing eviction
and homelessness, and her
work at Brothers’ Keeper
food pantry.
“Helping with your community or anywhere else
really does help,” Meredith
wrote in an essay.
Meredith’s community
service was influenced by
her family, which places a
high value on helping others who are less fortunate.
Her entire family pitched
in to help relocate families
in crisis, delivering food,
checking on their progress
and baby-sitting for the
families with young children. n

Of course, not every part of adapting to a new life in a new country is

parents — an engineer and a pharmacist — were well-to-do and also

ing a priest means becoming an
ever closer friend of Jesus Christ
with the whole of our existence.
The world needs God — not just any
god but the God of Jesus Christ, the
God who made himself flesh and
blood, who loved us to the point of
dying for us, who rose and created
within himself room for man. This
God must live in us and we in him.
This is our priestly call: only in this
way can our action as priests bear
fruit.”
Our priests respond “Present”
each and every day, and in so many
ways, through their ministry to the
People of God. Here in the Diocese
of Orlando, we are served by priests
from every inhabited continent.
They may speak in many different
accents, but thanks to their dedication and to their extraordinary love
for the Lord they are here for us.
Called to be “friends of Jesus,” these
men have given their lives to show
us the way to heaven.
Let us ask that, through the intercession of St. John Mary Vianney,
our priests will continue to grow in
holiness — and, in this way, take
Christ and his Gospel to the men
and women of our times as John Vianney did in his times. n
Paul II described the problems of
refugees as “a shameful wound of
our time.”
“Helping refugees is in the
spirit of the Church’s call to respect the dignity of each human
person,” said Timmian Massie,
professor of religious studies at
New York’s Marist College. “We
are called upon to be hospitable,
to offer protection and reject
forced repatriation. In the spirit
of our time, this is not the most
politically popular stance, but it
is the Christian response to care
for those in need.”
For many years, countries were
celebrating their own refugee day.
Finally, efforts were coordinated to
celebrate June 20 — long known as
Refugee Day in Africa — worldwide.
This was done mainly as a sign of
solidarity with Africa, which traditionally has the highest number of
refugees.
Events that day — including a
naturalization ceremony in Orlando featuring Bishop Thomas
Wenski — are meant to focus on the
fundamental need for protection
from poverty, violence and other
persecution.
It is also about raising awareness
to a worldwide, escalating problem.
“I want to thank the people who
have helped me,” Al Dabagh said.
“They have done so much for us.” n

was convinced that the students
at St. Charles School could make
a difference. It was then that the
idea of raising money for the orphans came to me.”
For the past three seasons of
Lent, Natalia has asked fellow
students to give up some of their
lunch and snack money toward “A
Kid for a Kid.” She also asked for
donations from St. Charles’ families. The money collected would
buy specific items or services
through the Mercy for Children
organization for the Congolese
orphans, such as clean drinking
water, bunk beds, food, medical
supplies, clothing and construction of an orphanage. She has
raised about $4,000 to benefit 57
orphans ages 4-11. Natalia also
helped make cards for fellow students to send to the orphans with
greetings and prayers in French.

Florida counties: Lake, Orange,
Osceola, Polk and Seminole. In
2009, Disney recognized 400 central Florida students as “Dreamers
and Doers” for their community
service and singled out the top 15
as “Shining Stars.”
Natalia first heard about the orphans in the Democratic Republic
of Congo in January 2007, when
she attended a prayer meeting and
heard Father Gabriel Ipasu — formerly parochial vicar of Blessed
Trinity Parish in Ocala, now at
Resurrection Parish in Lakeland
— talk about his dream to build an
orphanage in the African nation.
Later, “A respect-life seminar
and prayer meeting called ‘Suffering in Silence’ inspired me,”
she said. “People of different religions gathered to call attention
to children suffering on the other
side of the world. These people put
aside their differences to work for
the orphans, the voiceless in the
Congo, suffering from abuse, rape,
kidnapping and homelessness.”
According to an April 2009
report from the United Nations
Children’s Fund, half a million
people are living with HIV/AIDS
in the Congo; more than 50,000
of them are children. UNICEF estimates the country’s population
at 70 million. It was in the Congo
that the first cases of HIV/AIDS
were identified. Many children
are orphaned by the disease, as
well as by war and other violence.
Orphans are left without the most
basic necessities. Many children
scrounge daily in the streets for
food.
After hearing about the children’s plight, Natalia came up
with an idea of how students at St.
Charles could help, and she asked
permission of the administration
to create “A Kid for a Kid” project.
“I have so much and these children have so little,” Natalia said.
“It felt sinful to think of complaining to my mother when the orphans don’t even have a mother. I
go to bed safe and secure. The orphans huddle together wondering
if they will eat tomorrow. I realize
how fortunate we are. We have the
ability to help the less fortunate. I

Tredway Award winner
finds God in helping others
Laura DoDson
DELAND — Many times, those
who minister to others often receive
more help than they give.
“A lady with all her troubles said
to me, ‘Let’s pray together,’” said
Robert Barbieri. “She saw that I was
nervous. I was thinking, ‘I have a
house, I have food. She had nothing
and was Jesus to me.’”
Barbieri, a member of St. Peter
Parish in DeLand, received the sixth
annual Floyd J. Tredway Award for
Community Service at the “Faith
in the Public Square Prayer Breakfast” on May 16 at St. Peter Parish in
DeLand. The annual prayer breakfast benefits Catholic Charities of
Central Florida Inc. The award was
named for Floyd J. Tredway, “a kind
and generous civic-minded person
who lived his Catholic faith and
loved his family, community and
church,” according to the breakfast
program.
Barbieri received the recognition
for his 25 years of championing the
poor, homeless and imprisoned as
executive director of the Neighbor
Center in DeLand. In his acceptance of the award, Barbieri focused
on those who made it possible.
“A man wanted only a few slices
of bread,” Barbieri said. “We told
him he could have a whole loaf,
but he wanted just the few slices.
He said he couldn’t eat a whole loaf
FloridaCatholic
Your Faith. Your LiFe. Your CommunitY.
and a few slices was all he needed
— trusting his next meal would be
provided.”
Continuing, Barbieri repeated
the question of another homeless
man, “‘Does God still love me?’ He
was feeling so hurt; he thought God
had abandoned him. God has been
good to me allowing me to help others.”
Prior to coming to Florida from
his native New York City, Barbieri
had pursued a career in law enforcement and trained disadvantaged youths for similar careers.
He was ordained a deacon for the
Diocese of Orlando in 1983. In retirement, Barbieri and his wife,
Eileen, regularly visit Chicago.
While there, they spend time at St.
Sabina Parish on the South Side of
Chicago in ministry to families of
children who are victims of violence.
“All people are the same,” Barbieri concluded. “We’re just coming from different places. We’re all
God’s people, just a little different,
and God has a job for each one of
us — something we have a talent for
that we can do.” n

The Florida Catholic enjoys
the opportunity to list the names
of the graduates of all of Florida’s
Catholic high schools. This edition includes graduates in the Orlando, Pensacola-Tallahassee and
Venice dioceses.
Along with a listing of the students and the names and photos
of the valedictorians and salutatorians, schools opted to list the
universities and colleges of acceptance or attendance. Some
schools also noted the amount of
scholarship monies garnered by
the classes.

Congratulations, thanks and
prayers are offered to those students
who plan to enlist in a branch of
