Title: Seminary fights volcanic ash.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30655 SEMINARY FIGHTS VOLCANIC ASH SAN JOSE, Costa Rica -- The Latin American Biblical Seminary in San Jose has had a sizeable cleanup problem for the past year in removing volcanic ash from its roof and other parts of the building. The ash falls on the city at intervals from the Irazu volcano about 15 miles away. A seminary worker is shown clearing away some of the fallout from a roof gutter -- a job that must be done regularly. Officials of the seminary, sponsored by the Latin American Mission of San Jose, say the ash is not a menace, but a perennial nuisance. The Seminary prepares Christian workers for Spanish-speaking nations. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (LAM-2D-64-NAB)

Title: Seminarians' racial Christmas card.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-31952 SEMINARIANS’ RACIAL CHRISTMAS CARD ST. PAUL, Minn. -- This unusual Christmas card was a result of the involvement of a group of seminarians in a racial justice project last summer in Mississippi. The greeting card reproduces a photo of a Negro boy in a Harlem slum. Participating in the racial project were about 100 students preparing for the priesthood at Nazareth Hall, minor seminary of the St. Paul archdiocese, in suburban Arden Hills. As a result of their work they were determined to have a “relevant” message dealing with racial justice on one of the Christmas card they prepare and sell annually. The card reads: “Christ is here. Go to meet Him. He is here…in His poor, in the afflicted, in the little ones, in those thirsting for justice, in His least brethren, in the crucified. Embrace Him.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (WT-MINN-12D-64-NAB)
