. . The heart of lovers is symbolic with St. Y-alentine's Day. .. The Anchor is the heart of ChrisHan adult 'education in the Diocese of Fall River. ,_ ' THe Anchor has been the gTeatest innova. }ion during the reign of Most Rev. James L. ~nnolly, Bishop of Fall River, in reaching all ,the faithful simultaneously. And it aids them to live mature Catholic lives in a complex and Changing world. : The Anchor has served to 'tie-in' the entire «JJooese from· Provincetown to Mansfield in the _ght years it has been in circulation. It is the most ardent wish of Bish9P Con ~ny that this newspaper be delivered to every
:fanu1y in every parish in the diocese. The Anchor has shown a steady and consistent growth since it started publication on April 11, 1957. But, there is still room for improvement, circulation-wise, in a number of paris-has. The Anchor, in each and every year, has achieved more quotas parishes. This class today represents a substantial block of the 110 par ishes which form this Southeastern Massachu setts diocese. Several parishes today are within a rela tively few subscriptions of accomplishing com plete family coverage. It is noteworthy, too, that several smaller parishes are selling more weekly copies of The Anchor than a few of the large parishes. The Anchor has attempted to present a well-balanced. and newsy journal that is enjoyed
by every member of every family. We naturany offer Catholic news and varying views on a multiplicity of subjects where Oatholics are en- . titled to differing opinions, except for matters of faith and morals. We offer special features for women and a sports page for the young. Humbly, we say our editorials are the envy of many of our other Catholic papers and mag azines. The Catholic press is not a luxury but a necessity, Pope Paul has declared.. His prede cessors, too, have sought to persuade Cardinals, Bishops, priests and the laity of the import of Catholic journalism. (See editori'al on Page Six). Bishop Connolly hopes that The Anchor this year will,achieve its greatest circulation, a copy every week in every home in every parish itl the diocese.
