Bish-op's Goal: "The parish pulpit needs the help of The Anchor," the Most Reverend Bishop has declared. . Changes are going to be made in the church liturgy that will affect all .catholics. It will be difficult for the parish priest to cover and explain the changes in the short time alloted for a Sunday sermon. But, the changes will be explained in detail and depth by this newspaper. That is one of many reasons why the Diocesan Ordinary wants a copy pi this newspaper in every home in the Diocese. The Anchor also reports and discusses innumerable

topics that develop good Catholic living, and, strong par­ ticipation in the faith. The Anchor serves as another means to broaden each person's knowledge and understanding of his faith.
