BISHOP CRONIN CONCELEBRATES 75th ANNIVERSARY MASS WITH BISHOPS OF NEW ENGLAND AND PRIESTS OF THE DIOCESE

Jubilee Mass Homily The路 following homily was delivered at the Cathedral of St. Mary.of the Assumption by Bishop Daniel A. Cronin at Sunday's Liturgy of Thanksgiving on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the Diocese of Fall River. .

A meditation on the Scripture readings contained in today's Liturgy of the Word can be summed uo in one word: FAITH. A reflection on the meaning of the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the Diocese of Fall River likewise can be summed up in one word: FAITH. In the first reading from the Book of Genesis, we are told of the Patriarch Abraham and the extraordinary test to which God put him: "Take your son Isaac, your only one, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. There you shall offer him up as a holocaust on a height that I will point out to you." (Gen. 22:2) There is no indication of any hesitancy or doubt. Abraham put his faith in God and trusted Him as indeed he had done from the beginning.

As he was about to sacrifice his son, the Lord's messenger intervened to save the boy.

Then again, consider the words of the Lord to Abraham: " . . . because you acted as you did in not withholding from me your beloved son, I will bless you abundantly and make your descendants as countless. as the stars of the sky . . . and in 'your descendants all the nations of the earth shall find blessing." As the Lord had promised in His convenant: He would be their God; they would be His people. (Gen. 22:16-18) "The Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation" of the Second Vatican Council, in its reflection on the inscrutable plan of God for mankind, reminded us that, "God, with loving concern contemplating, and making preparation for the salvation of the whole human race, in a singu-

lar undertaking chose for himself a people to whom to entrust his promises.

By his covenant with Abraham and, through Moses, with the race of Israel, he did acquire a people for himself, and to them he revealed himself in words and deed as the one, true, living God, so that Israel might experience the ways of God with men." (No. 14.)

The second reading, from the New Testament, specifically from Paul's letter to the Romans, makes reference once again to the son being offered for the chosen ones. This time, however, it is God Himself who has not hesitated to sacrifice his only Son for the salvation of the world. The chosen ones are those who by faith accept as their Savior this beloved Son of God who has become man and died - Jesus Christ. They constitute the new people of God. In the reading from the Gospel according to Mark, we are reminded of that important event in the life of the Lord, His Transfiguration, when the divinity of Jesus became evident, however fleetingly, to those who were privileged to be with Him for the occasion, Peter, James and John, who would be with Him again later in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Jesus, brilliantly transfigured, conversed with Moses, and Elijah, representatives of the Law and the Prophets. There came the voice. "This is my Son, my beloved. Listen to him." (Mark 9:7) They looked around and coul,d see only Jesus. It was His word and revealed truth that would bring to completioI.l what had been spoken through Moses and the prophets. In Christ, Son of David, the Savior of the World, God's covenant with Abraham and his descendants would be fulfilled.

Descend~nts, one and all, of Abraham, our father in faith, we cherish the special gift .of faith in God which has been given us. And we are Christians. What does this mean? Simply put, it means that by the grace of faith we have accepted Jesus as Lord with all that such faith implies.

THE ANCHORThurs., March 15, 1979

Jubilee Homily Continued from Page One We are in a long line of faith in the true God which goes back to Abraham. We trace our Christian heritage back to Peter and the Apostles upon whom the Son of God and the Son of Mary, Jesus Christ, founded his Church.

Through him we became "A chosen tace, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people whom God claims as his own." (I Pet. 2:9-10) Once we were no people.

In Christ, we became God's people. This, in fact, is the Church: the new people of God. The Church has preached Jesus and His revealed truth from those earliest days when the Apostles, having been instructed and commissioned by the Lord to preach the Gospel, received the strength of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.

This authentic preaching and teaching has continued to our own day and will always continue. The new People of God the Church-have been pastored by authentic successors of the Apostles, namely, the bishops, whom Christ willed to be "the shepherds in his Church until the end of the world." (Lumen • Gentium, No. 18) .

"Christ, instituted this new covenant, namely, the new covenant in His blood; He called a race made up of Jews and Gentiles which would be one not according to the flesh, but in the spirit, and this race would be the new People of God." (Lumen Gentium, iNd. 9) From its beginning in Palestine, the Church of Jesus Christ has continued the evangelizing mission entrusted to it by the Lord. The People of God have . grown in number with every generation in all the world so that from the rising of the sun to its setting the, name of Jesus is praised among the nations.

The history of our owy-- beloved land has witnessed the effective mission of the Roman Cath01ic Church. In particular, the growth of the Church has been a singular grace given by the Lord to our own native New England.

Indeed, the Church grew so and quickly, energetically thanks in great measure to the stalwart Catholic immigrants who came here to begin a new life, that the Holy See from time to time found it necessary to divide existing ecclesiastical jurisdictions in order better to provide for the pastoral care of . God's people.

And so it came to be that on March 12, 1904, the saintly Pope Pius X, established the Diocese of Fall River - our own dear Diocese of which we are so' justly proud and whose 75th anniversary we commem. orate today.

We cherish the thought that it was this portion of the Lord's vineyarc1 that became the first diocese' erected by the new Pope who was one day to be declare~ a saint. Our history of the Diocese makes reference to a remetpbrance of Pope St. Pius I

But again, our Jubilee commemorates 75 years of diocesan life, and thus cannot be identified solely with the work of the priests and religious any more than with that of the bishops alone.

The faithful laity who have been so zealously served and cared for pastorally over these past 75 years have themselves been the cause, in great measure, of all that has taken place.

It was their love for their Church, their desire to cooperate in God's saving mission, their pride and generosity,' their encouragement and, above all, their faith which has made the Church in the Diocese of Fall River a strong community of believers in Jesus who have placed themselves and their means at the service of the Church. Born in the Diocese or coming from other areas or other lands, the faithful laity, from the Attleboros to the tip of Cape Cod and the Islands, unite with their shepherds in unison as they proclaim Jesus the Lord.

Bishops, priests, religious, faithful laity - the People of God. That wonderful biblical concept best describes the community of faith which is this diocese.

We give 'thanks today at the altar of the Lord for these past 75 years. We look forward to the future, firm in our faith in God, the God of Abraham, our father in faith. We believe in Jesus Christ, God's son and son of Mary, who was transfigured before Peter, James and John.

We believe in the Holy Spirit who gives life and strength to the Church and, under whose inspiration the Fathers 'of the Second Vatican Council, gave the thrust to the renewal of the Church in our present age.

In the light of that faith, we accept the challenge and mission of Evangelization, so that, through our words and loving care, the message of the Gospel will reach believers and unbelievers, churched and unchurched, with the power it contains to change the lives of men and women, and: indeed, to "restore all things in Christ."

The words from the Eucharistic Liturgy come to mind. How very appropriate they are to express our sentiments on this joyous occasion. Indeed, they sum up our prayer today: "Father, you are holy indeed, and all creation rightly gives you praise. All life, all holiness comes from you through your Son, Jesus Christ Our. Lord, by the working of the Holy Spirit.

From age to age you gather a people to yourself, so that from east to west, a perfect offering may be made to the glory of your name."

May God love and bless you all.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thur., Mar. 15, 1979

Jubilee Mass Address of Archbishop Jean Jadot Apostolic Delegate In. the United States The religious heritage of Massachusetts and the neighboring areas is particularly noteworthy in the history of the United States of America. The arrival of the Pilgrims in 1620 is an event which was prominent in the shaping of the future of America. The Catholic laity of the Diocese of Fall River, with their bishops, priests and religious, have good reason to mark this 75th anniversary.

What we celebrate today' is a maturity not just in age but, more importantly, in unity. of faith. .

There is a catholic - a universal - quality which has long been characteristic of the Church here. Many national groups have made this their home. Over t~e years, you have become a single family. You are bound together by your conviction in the truths of the Catholic faith shared and nurtured from one generation to the next.

The English and Irish immigrants brought the faith and tpeir talents to the first industries "developed here.

The Portuguese from the Azores in whaling and textile operations and the French Canadians in the mills left their mark on the early formation of the local Church.

They were joined by Italian, Polish, German and Lebanese Catholics in the building up of a community unified in Christ. Many others have come to contribute their gifts as well. .The Eucharist we celebrate today and every day makes the Church. It joins together as the members of one body those who share the same Body of Christ: "That all may be one."

The manner in which the one faith is lived out has consequences for society itself. It helps transcend the limitations of a merely parochial outlook. The Eucharist brings people together in familial unity to serve especially the very poor, sharing with them the bread of the earth and the bread of love.

This cathedral is dedicated to the Mother of Christ under the title of Saint Mary of the Assumption. Pope John Paul II reminds us that her "Magnificat" sets forth. the mission of the Church today. It enables us to know the true meaning of progress, advancement and evangelizing or proclai~ing the Good News to the world today.

"For this 'today' with its miseries and its. signs of hope .constitutes, in all countries, a challenge for the 'prophetic' mission of the Church, and at the same time for her 'motherly' mission.

"It is a question of opening hearts and mentalities to Christ, to the Gospel, to its scale of values, to contribute to the elevation of the whole man and of all men, to organize a )\Torld less unworthy of man and of God's plan for him, and, at the same time, to prepare the kingdom of heaven."

Let us pray that we will fulfill" this mission well.

The Holy Father sends his paternal greetings to the Church of Fall River. He salutes as brothers, Bishops Cronin, Connolly, and Gerrard and extends to, all his Apostolic Blessing.

BISHOP CONNOLLY AND CARDINAL MEDEIROS

'Blessed is he that findeth a true friend and that declareth iustice to an ear that heareth.' Ecclus. 25:12

IThis Sacred Place Greetings on behalf of the faithful of the archdiocese of Boston were delivered by Cardinal Humberto Medeiros at Sunday's Jubilee..Mass. The text of his remarks follows:

their witness to Christ has been a source of encouragement, hope and inspiration to all who have seen their faith bear abundant fruit for the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ.

It is a particular privilege and pleasure for me, as one who,' in this Cathedral of St. Mary, was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Fall River, and was consecrated a bishop for the Diocese of Brownsville, to return to this sacred place today to bring you the warm greetings and hearty congratulations of the Church in the Archdiocese of Boston on this 75th anniversary of the Diocese of Fall River.

Almighty God has shown his love for this portion of his flock in a very special way during the past 75 years by blessing us with zealous and saintly shepherd路s: Bishops Stang, Feehan, .Cassidy, Connolly, Gerrard and Cronin.

Priests, religious and laity have been responsive in faith to their leadership and the Church here has followed its Lord and Master with loving fidelity.

Our first thoughts today are thoughts of joyful gratitude to the Father of all good gifts for the manifold blessings he has lavishly bestowed on so many of us in the 75 years since the foundation of this Diocese by the "'Holy Father, Pope Saint Pius X. With the help of God's grace, and with the hard work and zealous activity of the bishops, priests, religious and laity of the Diocese of Fall River, the Church has enjoyed a remarkable increase in this area of Massachusetts.

The Catholic Faith has taken d!,!ep root in the lives of the people ,.,..... so varied and so rich in their cultural traditions - and

1

As we thank God today for his goodness toward us, we feel the need to recommit ourselves also, as best we can, to building up his church by our own fidelity to the faith which has come down to us from the Apostles.

By the example of our lives as Catholic people, we must add ever more lustre to the history of the Church in the Diocese of Fall River, knowing in our hearts that as the present celebration of 75 years of Catholic life was made possible by the fidelity of our forefathers in the faith, so also, the future of the Church in this diocese or in any diocese - depends - under God - on our fidelity to the faith today.

This is my prayer on this day of Jubilee~ and it is a prayer which I know is shared by the

l

people of God in the Archdiocese of Boston.

May the peace of the Lord be with you, and may the warmth of His blessing be always with you to comfort you on the way.

Continued from Page Five niversary. The presentation was made by Father Tosti, who also introduced head table guests. A second, even more enthusiastic ovation, complete with whistles and cheers, greeted Bishop Connolly.

In brief remarks, Cardinal Medeiros, obviously enjoying his return to his hometown, wished success to the threefold diocesan jubilee program of family renewal, parish renewal and apostolic activity directed towards youth.

"We have to show youth the beautiful face of the Son of God shining forth in our own faces," he said. "To do this we must let Christ work in us so we can truly show forth his face to others.

"We must listen to the Father, because he has something to say to us - a living word.

"There are 11 00 apostles here," declared the cardinal. "We must be open to the Lord Jesus Christ to go out, evangelize an~ touch young people who are waiting to be shown the Lord.

"Evangelization," he concluded, "is about Christ coming into us and changing our faces. They must see. him through us. In the diocese of Fall River may there be faces shining bright with the love of Jesus!"

Father Tosti read a congratulatory telegram from President Jimmy Carter as weII' as a proclamation from Mayor Carlton Viveiros, declaring it Diocese of .. Fall River Recognition Week in

the city of Fall River.

Special guests at the dinner were all seminarians presently studying for the priesthood under diocesan sponsorship. In addition to the seminarians, candidates for the Permanent Diaconate were given places of honor at the Jubilee Mas~ and banquet. Thus the fellowship of brothers in Orders and those who will soon share in the sacrament gave added meaning to this wonderful event in the life of the diocese as they symbolized the old and the new.

Among those responsible for Sunday's celebration, in addition to Father Tosti, were Father Barry W. Wall, chairman of the liturgy committee for the jubilee Mass, and Mrs. Michael J. McMahon, banquet chairman.

Committee members were Mrs. Aubrey Armstrong, Mr. Raymond Boulay, Mr. Robert Coggeshall, Mrs. Edward Gazarro, Mrs. Anthony Geary, Mr. Joseph Gromada.

Miss Margaret Lahey, Mr. Michael McMahon, Mrs. James O'Brien Jr., Miss Claire O'Toole, Miss Clorinda Ventura.

Honor S'upreme Chaplain '

~

Knights of Columbus are honoring their Supreme Chaplain, 84-year-old Bishop Charles P. Greco, with a membership drive,. coptinuing through June, during which eacJt knight is asked to sponsor a, new member. ' ,Speaking at a 1{' of C state bgard meeting on the'" accomplishments of Bishop- Greco, Massachusetts State Deputy John J. Donovan said that the prelate's life had been touched by four saints, most no~bly by St. Francis Xavier Cabrini. whom he me~ as an lI-year-old altar boy. . The future saint asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. "Mother, I hope to be a priest," he said.

"My boy," responded the nun, "I will pray for you to be a priest - and路 a good priest."She then placed her hands on his head as if in blessing and turning to the sisters with her spoke to them in Italian. ' rorty years later. when Bishop Greco's appointment to the episcopate was announced, the sisters said that her words had been: "Yes, this little boy will become a priest and he will ~o far in the priesthood."

Another saint with whom Bishop Greco had contact was Blessed Luigi Guanella of Italy, with whom he stayed as a seminarian ouring World War I., Blessed Luigi's work for the retarded was a great influence in the Lotlisian~ bishop's founding

of two homes "where retarded children and adults can live together in love and joy from the cradle to the grave."

Bishop Greco was a jqdge during the canonization process for Mother Elizabeth Seton and . he was present for' the canonization of St. John Neumann.

He is also the only known living person to have met the last seven popes.

He joined tJte Knights of Col. umbus in 1919 and has been cSUpreme chaplain for 18 years.

Traditionally, he ptesents each new knight with a rosary he has blessed.

Many members have met their supreme chaplain over the years . at conventions and meetings.

All, said State Deputy Donovan. have ~n impressec:t by his simplicity and his following of his episcopal motto,., ~Vivat Jesus," "May Jesus. Live:"

Taunton Parishes Schedule Anointing' Service Sunday The Catholic parishes of the Taunton Deanery will co-sponsor a special celebration of the Sacrament of the Sick at St. Mary's Church at 3 p.m. This ceremony is intended especially for those with a seriously disabling physical or emotional disease, which keeps them from working, living a normal life, or getting about with ease.

Persons suffering from arthritis, cancer, heart disease, old age or nervous disorders, as well as amputees and quadriplegics are examples of those for whom this sacrament is intended.

St. Mary's was chosen because of its central location and easy accessibility for the handicapped. The ceremony is being planned and coordinated by priests of each of the parishes of the Taunton Deanery. ,Father Walter A. S~livan, Dean of the Taunton area, will be principal celebrant of the Mass, during which each sick

person will be individually anointed with blessed oil. The entire ceremony is planned to last less than one hour. Members of families and friends of the sick are also invited to attend. A special musical program will be provided by St. Mary's parish.

Manifesting their concern for the sick, many members of tbe community are involved in Sunday's program. The District Council of Catholic Women and the St. Vincent de 'Paul Society will provide transportation and members of the Catholic Nurses' Guild will be stationed at the church in case of medical emer· gencies. Boy and Girl Scouts will assist in seating the sick and their guests.

Any sick of the area who have questions about this ceremony should contact the priests in their own parishes for further information. Officials emphasize that the event is under joint sponsorship of all parishes and that all parishioners should therfore look upon it as if it were in their own parish, and feel comfortable about attending.

MOSCOW (NC) - Pope John Paul II will continue Vatican efforts to normalize relations with. communist countries, predicted Science and Religion, atheist periodical published. in Moscow.

A return to .the "policy of cold war" as in the days of Pope Pius XII would be counterproductive for the present-day church, added the. publication, because anti-communism led the church into a cul-de-sac.

When the pricipal concelebrant of the Mass, Auxiliary Bishop John Snyder of Brooklyn heard of those remarks he said that "violence corrupts" and quoted another pope, John Paul U. The pope said, the bishop noted, "Liberation is made up of reconciliation and forgiveness. Liberation springs from a reality which makes us recognize in every man a brother of ours."

An overflow congregation attended the fourth memorial Mass for 13 civilians who were killed by British troops during a march in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, Jan. 30, 1972. Thirteen school children carried crosses

bearing the names of the dead men during a procession.

During a reception after Mass, Peter McCormick of Belfast, Northern Ireland, took issue with Father Regan's homily. "We have the right to the use of arms in the struggle for independence," he said.

The political activist, who said he was imprisoned at Long Kesh from 1972-77, continued: "Father

A 94-page report, "Puerto Ricans and Health: Findings from New York City," is being distributed by Fordham University's Hispanic Research Center.

It surveys the life situation of 800,000 Puerto Ricans in New York's five boroughs.

Homicide, drug overdoses and cirrhosis of the liver are the leading cause of death in the 15-44 age group of Puerto Ricans, according to the report.

Mental illness and retardation, drug abuse and lead poisoning are the three major health concerns of New York City Puerto Ricans.

NEW YORK (NC) - Puerto Ricans living in New York City are consistently disadvantaged in health care matters compared with the total population, but nevertheless rank health as more important than family or money in their lives, according to a study.

'SOS' Means Aid For Students COLUMBUS, Ohio (NC)-The pastor offered to contribute $100 for a grade sch~ol scholarship if nine parishioners would do the same. As a result of his proposal, 49 students are having their tuitions paid at St. Ladislas School in Columbus this year.

PRIESTS AND CLERGY ST. JAMES PARISH NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The scholarship project is the idea of St. Ladislas' pastor, Father Charles Haluska, and he dubs it "SOS" - Sponsor One Student. He launched the SOS fund with appeals from the pulpit, noting that very large families in particular could use help in paying for Catholic education.

- In the 350-family parish, he said, "we have a fair number of elderly who have no children, certainly none in school." Addressing them especially, he asked, ,"Who paid for your education? In times past there was no tuition." Since they were a little better off financially than young parents, he said, they might w~nt to lend a hand.

"It was not a hard sell. I appealed to their good judgment anW it worked out the way -I want~d. Most of the donors are older people," Father Haluska said.

A widow gave $50 she had earmarked for a new refrigerator; one man turned in a $100 bill; and residents of Seton Square North, where Father Haluska served as chaplain last year, sent $100.

Also received, "as they got a little extra" was a total of $100 from parents of a pre-schooler.

The mother realized her child might one day benefit from support that fills the gap between tuition and the near $700 actual cost of educating one student, the priest said.
