Program from Page 1 by population to be attended to. They re meeting the needs of the Soldier in he Field but they can Tai locate Shea said. And you be still Gol the family members Back Al the  unlike stateside families Catholic families on the european continent have no local support network in off base English speaking churches. Shea said. Chaplain it. Col Matthew a. Quinlan knows first hand the demand on time and Energy faced by the military priest. After 17 years with the Amy he serves As sch inf div chaplain and runs the Chapel programs at dad Kreuz Nach and Dea Heirn. The specific need i be Felt is that most priests have at least two places to cover or one urge area he said. Quinlan relies on volunteers to help in some Day to Day operations of his Chanel communities. But with the increasing number of two Job households volunteers Are harder to come by. The army supplements its Chapel programs in Europe with some full time civilian slots. For area where someone is needed to celebrate mass and administer the sacraments tie army contracts with English speaking local priest or retired priests when no Mili tary pest is available. The military shortage of priests ii caused in part by the complexities of the Catholic Church in the United states and by the shortage of civilian pries a said archbishop Joseph t. Ryan who Heads the archdiocese for the military services. Before the military archdiocese was founded priests in the armed forces were sponsored by the civilian diocese where they received training and education. The priests were assigned As military chaplains but they could be recalled to their Home diocese fit anytime. The shortage of priests in the civilian sector has made it harder to free men for service As military Chap Lains. Civilian Bishops Are beginning to feel the Pinch Ryan said. But the Long term solution to the military shortage made possible by the founding of the archdiocese for the services is a co sponsorship program Guaran teeing that a Man entering the Priesthood will be Able to serve As a chaplain. It Wilt Mark the first time that a calling to be a chaplain Wilt be considered a True vocation. Under the program civilian dioceses will be asked to co sponsor men interested in being military  men will attend four years of Seminary in addition to College become ordained and serve three years in the co sponsoring diocese. After completing that serv ice the priests can serve a full career in any Branch of the service. If he later decides to leave the service or if be is forced to leave by the service the priest would return to the co sponsor eng diocese. We feel it is a very Good Deal for the civilian Arch diocese As Well Ryan said. And this will be the first time you can know that you re going to be a military priest the program facts two problems time and Money. Men with College degrees face a seven year lag time after they enter Seminary before they begin serving chaplains. That still leaves the immediate shortage to be dealt with. Those without College add four More years to the required time. The education Cost per person can run into thou Sands of dollars acc i said. The military archdiocese depends solely on contributions from its parishioner and Grants from the Church for meeting its si.62 Mil lion budget. The Money for supporting education of needed priests is not there but the archdiocese has started Campaign for its scholarship fund. The Long term Outlook for the Supply of military priests is Good Acerra said. He said 170 men on Active duty already Are interested in the co sponsorship pro Gram. By the year 2000, the ratio of priest to parishioner in the military should be on a downward trend he said. But that leaves 3 years until the turn of the Century and priests in the Field have no illusions. "1 Don t see the end of the shortage coming soon Quinlan said. In fact i Don t see an end to the snort age. Given that condition rather than wring your hands and lament about it you be got to go about your  Lonetree from Page 1 the . Embassy in Moscow in 1985 and 1986, had been charged with 24 violations of the uniform code of military Justice including two counts of espionage. Petersen ordered military prosecutors to proceed with a court mania on 13 of the 24 original counts including one count of espionage three counts of conspiracy to commit espionage four counts of failure to obey regulations and five counts under general mis conduct provisions.
