White, a Brooklyn priest and Doctor ofTheology, interested a group of sisters inworking with him to help Irish and Italianimmigrants who lived in the Brooklyn NavyYard vicinity. This group grew into theCatholic Settlement Association.As the neighborhood changed in scopeand ethnicity, the sisters have worked tomeet the needs of the community.Sister Catherine McCarthy, Sister EllenKieran and Sister Joan Soto today are thedriving forces behind the endeavors of thesechildren and their volunteer teachers. Thesesisters of the Trinitarian order live at thenon-sectarian Center as resident workersand continue what was begun in 1918 byFather White.%u201cThere has been a continuationthroughout the years. It has not stopped andthere were always classes to help childen%u2019%u2019remarks Sister Catherine. She goes on:%u201cChildren were always of primary importance to all the resident workers. We havepictures from the 1920%u2019s and 1930%u2019s wherethe sisters would take 300 kids to ConeyIsland ... We gave English classes toItalian immigrants. In our files are lettersthat go back to fighting the presence ofchildren in sweat shops.%u201dWhen the Sisters talk of the work that hasbeen done since 1918 they refer to all thesisters in that long tradition of residentworkers as %u201cwe%u201d %u2014 not just themselves.A MOVING EXPERIENCE%u201cFamily Night%u201d represented the culmination of this year%u2019s work. It featured kidsfrom all of the center%u2019s programs. Therewas a smoothly produced mini-fashion showby members of the sewing class who modeled their creations, two dramatic scenes,a large group of piano students, two dancesand very young members of the after-schooltutorial program in a %u201csing and spell.%u201d Thechildren sang %u201cI is for ice cream%u201d as thewords were visually cued on a placard.Sister Catherine commented on theseyoungsters: %u201cThey have really learned their' phonics through this program and are doingextremely well at school ... and they hadreal difficulties.%u201dThe dramatic program, was led all yearby a young actor named Craig Nelson whowas too ill to appear on %u201cFamily Night.%u201dDespite his absence these greatly inexperienced students did not fall apart. Theshow very definitely went on with twoyoung actors substituting for the ailingNelson, scripts in hand. Another very shyactress made her stage debut that night andfloored the cheering audience with herunexpected vitality and charisma.The dance group that performed underthe direction of dancer Bobbie Tucker hadworked with her for only six months, yetthe polish, elegance and grace of thedancers was quite moving %u2014 as was the effect of the entire evening%u2019s performance.Spiritual education and idealism here isthoroughly translated into secular blood,sweat and tremendous effort. There is afrank realism and there is discipline. AsSister Ellen remarks %u201cThe thing that wefeel strongly about in all the programs isgetting across values such as cooperation,responsibility and self-respect. Those thingsare even more important than thfe skills thechildren learn. If we are successful inteaching these basic values, I feel that weare more successful than if the kids do wellacademically. Those values will stand bythem for life.%u201dLEON PALIY LTD.FINE WINE & SPIRITS m SEVENTH AVEbuwuN BERKELEY & UNIONMONEJAY SATURDAYI Oam 9pw'(718) 857-7008p%u00abOMpi Irie lot aI dtliviny di llVIRV tLwow^kxj 1 N.
