Crew members par+ake of rhe Blessed Sacramenl. NE OF THE smallest departments aboard ship and yet one of the most important is the Chaplain's office. The spiritual welfare of the crew is his responsibility. He, by virtue of his mission, his wealth of experience, and his pastoral relationship to the individual, is the man to whom we turn in time of distress. We are indeed fortunate in having two such fine men as CDR Frederick Volbeda, CHC, Protestant, and LCDR Carl A. Herold, CHC, Roman Catholic, serving aboard. The religious life of the men aboard ship is guided by Daily Mass, three church calls on Sunday, Protestant and Catholic choirs, Bible Classes two evenings a week, and a song devotional service on Sunday evening. In addition there are also visits to the brig, Sick Bay, and personal counseling. The Welfare and Recreation program of the ship is under the guidance of the Chaplains office and is designed to develop the well integrated man. It includes the ship's newspaper, the Tour Committee, the Entertainment Com- mittee, the shipboard athletic program, Cruise Book, and Hobby Shop. Assisting the Chaplains in their wide variety of duties and programs are a yeoman, three librarians, three Hobby Shop attendants, and two athletic gear locker men. . 55 QllC Ma Q .
