Complete· Family Coverage This Year's Goal
The Anchor in Biggest Campaign Ever
- The most energetic subscription campaign in ·the Heven-year history of this diocesan news . paper will get un~erway next month. . The ANCHOR anticipates a substantial cir I .~ fmlation increase in everyone of the 110 parishes -from Mansfield to f>rovincetown. , The ANCHOR in every home in the diocese is '" ,the aim and objective of the Most Reverend Bishop. "The ANCHOR will broaden the horizon ·of our interest and make us surer and stronger in our Faith," Bishop Connolly said. . "I am· only too ready to endorse the coming ~mpaign for new subscriptions and look and
pray for a whole-hearted, enthusiastic response," the Ordinary declared as he indicated his in terest in attaining -complete family coverage throughout the width and breath of the diocese. "The more people who read The ANCHOR the less there will be areas of seeming neglect or no man's land. Everyone can and should feel that he surely belongs. And an excellent way to achieve this is to become acquainted more and more widely through the pages of The ANCHOR," Bishop Connolly emphasized. Pope Paul VI has many times aluded to the· efficacy of the diocesan press durin~ his com-
paratively short tenure as the Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church. His Holiness has been one of the staunchest supporters of the Catholic Press as ArGhbishop of Milan during his service in the Papal Secretariat of State. The true value of the. Catholic press was never more forcibly demonstrated than during the two sessions of Vatican Council II. The ANCHOR, with its own writers on the scene, brought the intimate details of the working of the Council to its people in complete, condensed, concise and clear manner. Turn to Page Ten
