Pastor Offers Positive Influence to Troubled Kids
Rev. Frederick Woods closely
identifies with Job of the Bible.
W hat could test his faith more
than devoting his life to saving
young people from the streets?
“Woods," as his friends call
him, left behind his own addiction
to drugs and crime nine years ago
and is now an ordained minister.
He also left his paying job to enter
Providence Portland M edical
Center’s Pastoral Care Residency
Program, while also keeping up
with a program he founded. Posi
tive Youth Development, chal-
lenging kids 12 to 18-years-old to
succeed in school and stay off the
street.
Woods attends deaths, con
soles those in anguish or fear, and
counsels those with addictions.
“You learn about yourself, what
triggers your emotions and how
to be more aware of your preju
dices,” Woods said. ‘T o put your
personal biases aside and pro
vide emotional and spiritual guid
ance for people from different
cultures is an amazing experience.”
Not only has the rigors of his
residency challenged him to de
velop his skills as a professional.
Woods credits his supervisor and
colleagues for providing support
and guidance through some tough
personal challenges, including the
death of his father in November.
M otivated by his desire to
share his past and present experi
ences, Woods entered the Pasto
ral Care Residency Program with
hopes of using his education to
provide support and guidance to
at-risk youth through Positive
Youth Development.
Rev. Frederick Woods is part
o f the Providence Portland
Medical Center's Pastoral
Care Residency Program and
has developed his own
program called Positive Youth
Development.

Pope John Paul II
offers a final
blessing in Toronto,
Canada Monday
morning July 29.
The 82-year-old

an 11-day trip that

(AP)— Waving flags and sing
ing hymns, thousands of jubilant
Roman Catholics packed a race
track in Guatemala City on Tues-
day for a Mass led by Pope John
Paul II.
About 350,000 people gathered
for the Mass, the highlight of the
pope ’ s 24-hour visit to Guatemala.
Many swayed and sang along
with a choir, while others chanted
“John Paul II, the whole world
loves you.”
The pope said he was making
his third visit to Guatemala as a
“pilgrim o f love and hope.”
T he trip , w hich began in
Toronto a week ago for World
Youth Day and was continuing to
Mexico on Tuesday evening, was
starting to take its toll on the frail,
82-year pontiff.
While John Paul's voice was
unusually strong in Canada, he
spoke in heavily slurred Spanish
in the welcoming ceremony. The
pope suffers from the symptoms
of Parkinson’s disease and from
