Come and hear Victor Triay speak on OPERATION PETER PAN at the Donahue Academy Aug. 18 from 4 p.m. - 6 p.m.

\n

Fid el Castro promised the Cuban people he was not a Communist when he took ov er Cuba ...but some of the Cubans knew better!

\n

Between 1960 and 1962\, over 14\,000 children were sent out of Cuba alone by despe rate parents who feared for their children's future under Castro. Victor d iscusses the events and key figures surrounding the exodus\, including the roles of the Catholic church and the State Department\, and the extent of the CIA's involvement.

\n

A stirring account of the cover t effort to smuggle Cuban children into the United States in the aftermath of Fidel Castro's rise to power\, Fleeing Castro brings to light the huma nitarian program designed to care for the children once they arrived and t he hardship and suffering endured by the families who took part in Operati on Pedro Pan.

\n

From late 1960 until the October 1962 mis sile crisis\, 14\,048 unaccompanied Cuban children left their homeland\, t he small island suddenly at the center of the Cold War struggle. Their par ents\, unable to obtain visas to leave Cuba\, believed a short separation would be preferable to subjecting their offspring to Castro's totalitarian Marxist state. For the children\, the exodus began a prolonged and tragic ordeal--some didn't see their parents again for years\; a few never did.< /span>

\n

Until now\, this chapter of the Cuban Revolution has be en relatively obscure. Initially the result of an effort by James Baker\, headmaster of an American school in Cuba who worked closely with the anti- Castro underground\, Pedro Pan quickly came to involve the Catholic Church in Miami and\, in particular\, Father Bryan Walsh\, who established the C uban Children's Program\, the nationwide organization that cared for those children without relatives or friends in the United States--almost half o f them. The latter program\, in effect until 1981\, was the first to allot federal money to private agencies for child care\, an action with far-rea ching repercussions for U.S. social policy.

\n

Victor Andr es Triay traces this story from its political and social origins in Cuba\, setting it in the context of the Cold War and describing the roles of the organizations involved in Cuba and in the United States. Making use of ex tensive interviews with Baker\, Walsh\, and influential underground figure s\, as well as personal letters that document the fears and dreams of both the parents and the children\, Triay presents this history of Pedro Pan-- the largest child refugee movement ever in the Western Hemisphere--with th e drama of an international thriller and the pathos of a heartbreaking fam ily drama.

The Office of Student Life and Campus Ministry is presenting Pam Stenzel\, Founder of Enlighten Communications as she presents\, 'The High Cost of Free Love on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 at 7:00 PM in the Bal lroom.

Drawing from her personal story\, as well as her visits with teens around the world\, Pam talks about the consequences-physical\, emotional\, moral and spiritual-of sex outside of marriage. It's been her experience that\, if given the facts\, today's young people are fully capa ble of making good\, healthy decisions.

For years\, Pam was on the 'front lines' as Director of Alpha Women's Center\, a counseling cente r for women undergoing crisis pregnancies. Her experiences taught her that before teen pregnancy and STD rates could decline\, attitudes of teens to ward sex first had to change. Desiring to bring about that change\, Pam st arted speaking nationally full-time and is in great demand both in the U.S .A. and in other countries such as Mexico\, Australia\, Ireland\, and Cana da.

statue-300Fr. Cory Mayer will bless a statue that will be installed in the Ave Maria Oratory as a memorial to Alex Klucik on Tuesday\, July 30\, at 12:25 p.m. (following the noon Mass) in the Oratory\,

\n

Titled G ood Shepherd ~ Bonus Pastor\, the three-foot marble statue was commis ioned by the Klucik family and carved by Má rton Váró\, who created the Annunciation sculpture that is over the doors of the entrance to the oratory.

\n

'We hope this portrayal of the gaze of Christ the Good Shephard inspir es much contemplation. The Good Shepherd was chosen to highlight and inspi re the joy and healing we can all find in God's infinite mercy and love\, the hope and comfort we can all find in God during trials or fears (especi ally death)\, and the joyful and loving sacrifice made by priests for God' s flock\,' Mr. Klucik said.

\n

The family invites people to co ntribute to the Alex Klucik Grace Fund\, which is used in the Ave Maria co mmunity to keep Alex's memory alive by supporting the Christian ideal that Alex sought to live. To date\, most of the money spent by this fund has g one to support the Rhodora J. Donahue Academy. The Good Shepherd sculpture was NOT purchased with money from the Alex Klucik Grace Fund. The fund ha s projects planned to support AMU and to support the continued presence of the Dominican Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist in Ave Maria. Donat ions to the fund can be sent to:
