WASHINGTON (NC) - John McCarthy, director of Migration and Refugee Services for the U.S. Catholic Conference, has praised President Jimmy Carter's decision to admit al1 estimated 25,000 additional Indochina refugees - the "boat people" - into the United States within the next year.

McCarthy said he had worked closely with the Carter administration. He said a commitment from the American Catholic bishops to guarantee homes and jobs for all the refugees if necessary played an important role in the administration's decision.

The USCC has resettled about 60 percent of all the Indochinese refugees who have come into the United States since the end of the Vietnam war in 1975, McCarthy said.

VATICAN CITY (NC) - In a message to an American Catholic education convention, Pope Paul VI has said that the "Catholic school remains an ever increasingly important means of pursuing the goals of Catholic education."

Pope Paul sent the message, signed for him by his secretary of state, Cardinal Jean Villot, to the National Catholic Education Association convention, which met last week in St. Louis.

In the message the pope urged Catholic educators to "point out the lofty horizons of faith" to students.

The papal secretary of state said that the pope "prays that the goals of Catholic education will be seen at all times in their relation to the Gospel of Christ and that the full exigencies of God's word will be offered in their totality to the youth of your country:'

Child Protection Workers Are Honored at Assembly In a blue ribbon exhibit at the New England Hospital "Assembly held last week in Boston, the Child Protection Team of St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River, shared its innovative program with thousands of medical and hospital professionals from all parts of the six-state area.

More than by professional recognition, however, the results of the "community network" program can be measured by many families involved in child abuse, now developing new ways of handling their problems, according to Sister Angela Francis, O.P., assistant director of St. Anne's Hospital.

"The first step was organizing an internal hospital team," explained William Tietjen, Director of Social Services at St. Anne's.

"On the team are emergency room and pediatric nurses, the Chief of Pediatrics, Social Servica Director and a hospital administrator," he said.

As the team developed expertise in helping these families, many state, diocesan and federal social service agencies became involved and were convened "by the hospital into the St. Anne's Hospital Interagency Protective Care Group.

"Today the interagency group works with the hospital team to bring supportive treatment to families, quality medical care to children, and a sense of hope that the proble~ can be solved," Tietjen explained. " The St. Anne's exhibit was chosen by NEHA judges as an educational model for medical and hOlipital personnel and as a unique public service program.

It was one of only 16 blue ribbon exhibits selected from 75 proposals submitted.

Kickoff Continued from Page One takings funded by the Appeal, will be presented by Father Edmund J. Fitzgerald, director, and Msgr. Anthony M. Gomes, Appeal director, will be master of ceremonies for the evening and explain mechanics of the fundraising drive.

Msgr. Luiz G. Mendonca, vicar general, will offer the opening prayer and Msgr. Thomas J. Harrington, chancellor, will give the closing prayer. Patriotic songs will be led by Mrs. Albert Petit and Kenneth Leger, with Henriette Roy as accompanist.

A social hour will follow in the school for the nearly 1000 priests, religious and laity expected at the meeting.

The Appeal provides funding for maintenance and expansion of a wide range of programs of charity, mercy, social service and education. Last year it reached an alltime high of $1,008,855, the second consecutive year it topped the $1 million mark. Directors hope to better that total in the current campaign.

The annual project provides funding for maintenance and expansion of a wide range of programs of charity, mercy, social service and education. Its Special Gift phase will open April 24 and end May 6. The parish phase will take place from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, May 7, when over 18,000 volunteer solicitors are expected to visit 105,000 diocesan homes.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., April 6, 1978

themoorin~ A Very Noteworthy Anniversary As can readily be noted, this edition of The Anchor is dedicated to the anniversary celebration of the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women.

Over the past 25 years this federation of Catholic women's organizations has grown to be perhaps the most influential women's body in Southeastem Massachusetts.

Because of its consistently outstanding leadership and its loyal and dedicated membership, this coalition has become a major factor in diocesan life.

From its co-sponsorship of the Annual Charity Ball· to its active concern with the moral issues of our day, the DCCW has faithfully reflected the mind of the Church in all its endeavors.

It has grown to be recognized as a decisive and distinct influence on the daily lives of its members.

From marketplace to meeting room, from living room to schoolroom, from parish church to Cathedral, the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women has truly been a living witness of fidelity and loyalty to the Church which it represents.

May its next 25 years be a faultless image of its superb beginnings!

Right from the Lip This past week, the State Board of Education voted to ask the Massachusetts congressional delegation to oppose the so-called Moynihan bill, which is intended to provide $500 million in tax credit for parents who freely choose under the law to send their children to private and parochial schools.

To add insult to injury, the board also placed itself on record as opposing everywhere and at all times any further efforts to give public relief to private and parochial school students.

In commenting on the board's action, State Commissioner of Education Gregory Anrig cast more fuel on the fire by stating that in his opinion this decision was a step forward for democracy, which bases its education solely on the public school system.

It is indeed tragic that such a narrow view of democracy reigns supreme in the highest councils of state (education. Of course, considering the source, we should not be too surprised that once more citizens of this commonwealth are punished because of their belief in democracy. The statement of Mr. Anrig in this particular situation is not only a historical shame but also an offensive slur.

Democracy is founded and has its only valid existence in diversity. The state commissioner would be more at home in a totalitarian milieu when he declares that the public school system is the one and only reflection of . democratic education.

If he truly believes this, (and there is no reason to doubt his position on and regard for private and parochial education), then his intellectual vision is quite limited, to say the very least. It is more than obvious that his gall is surpassed only by his ignorance and that his prejudice has overcome his idealism.

Once more the Catholic and other concerned citizens in this Commonwealth have been poorly treated by officials of the state; once more those who believe that alternate forms of education enhance and strengthen the democratic system have been shot down and publicly degraded as people working outside the democratic system.

As Catholics throughout the state urge their cop· gressional delegations to support the tax credits offered b~. the Mpynihan bill, it would be well if they also sent a few lines to the State Commissioner of Education to let him know that Catholics will no longer submit to being treated as second-class citizens in a state that is supposedly the guiding light of American democracy.

'0 all ye fowls of the air, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever.' Dan. 3:80

• A Riddle' Wrapped In an Enigma

By Father John B. Sheerin

"Security" is a word seldem found in the American vocabulary. We hear occasionally about "securities" in relation to the Securities and Exchange Commission or about security for a rainy day in the form of a bank account or insurance. But we Americans almost never speak of security in the form of territorial security because it is not a real problem for us.

The U. S. lies snug and warm behind walls of ocean. No Canadian army is ever poised on the border ready to invade the state of Michigan, nor do we worry about panzer divisions of Mexican troops swarming over the Rio Grande. Soviet nuclear power could wreak havoc here, but Americans have confidence in their deterrence policy. We have been sleeping soundly at night ever since the first atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Territorial security, therefore, is not tme of our daily concerns. We ~nd troops abroad but we cannot honestly say that we send

them to protect the Brooklyn Bridge or the White House.

It is for that reason, I believe, that we do not quite understand why the Israelis make such a fuss about national security. We do not quite realize that it means to have our country invaded time after time during the last 30 years, nor do we have the feel of living in a kibbutz with an around-the-clock alarm schedule. For that matter, we forget that the Jews as a people have had no territorial security for 2,000 years, no homeland at all until the creation of the Jewish state in 1948. And, lest we forget, many of the pogroms and much of the Jewish anxiety were caused by Christians. The Inquisition was a sort of rehearsal for the Holocaust.

While I cannot agree with Prime Minister Menachem Begin in every jot and tittle of his policy, I think I can understand his concern for territorial security. It is basically a concern for security as a means of survival, survival of the Jewish people as a

people, surrounded by unfriendly neighbors. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat is apparently friendly, but Sadat is not the Arab Empire.

Rousseau once said that the Jew~ have preserved their national spirit in spite of centuries of dispersion by means of the tenacity with which they maintain their own laws. Religious Jews have held tenaciously to the Torah. Prime Minister Begin is a devout Jew and no one can deny his tenacity. But tenacity is not always victorious, Compromise is often the better part of valor. Yet the whole Middle East situation is so complex and murky that it seems to me that no one can reasonably predict how Begin's leadership and policies will fare in the coming months.

The Carter administration earlier admitted some 15,000 additional refugees. The administration wanted to admit even more, but was tied up in a debate over the best way to do it.

The administration decided to push for a long-term solution through legislation which would raise the number of refugees eligible to enter the United States in a year from 17,400 to 40,000.

In the meantime, the administration will use the parole. authority of the attorney generalauthority to allow refugees into the United States outside of official limits-to bring in refugees.

\.

Dear Editor: Again, what seems an abuse, wholesale general absolution, cries out for comment from a disappointed if not disillusioned layman.

Recent reaffirmations, seemingly authoritative, reiterate the perennial teaching that the state of moral sin requires confession before going to holy communion.

If general absolution is strictly an emergency measure, and if accepted by an individual still requires the same dispositions as those of ordinary penitents going to confession as well as a resolution, if mortally guilty, to receive this sacrament as soon as reasonably possible - why the recent wholesale absolving by the Lansing, bishop in three large cities of Michigan?

Wherein lies the emergency, especially in view of the Church's apparently not too successful campaign to encourage all Catholics in a return to a frequent use of the sacrament of penance?

It could be claimed that the good .bishop, in some far-out evaluation, was hoping for just that, but in a practical sense, viewing modern proclivities, how many more will see it as an occasion for an easy disavowal of 'individual responsibility and a further downgrading of the Eucharist?

Fred McCracken Attleboro

Holy Cross Brothers Dear Editor: Reading one of the issues of Anchor, I find that in your listing of Religious Communities of Men in the Diocese of Fall River, you make mention of the Holy Cross Fathers, but forget to make mention of the Holy Cross Brothers. As a former graduate of Coyle High School, which supplied many vocations to the diocesan clergy, I know that the Brothers are still in your diocese .and are engaged with the Fathers in teaching and other works at Stonehill College.

I'm sure that you would like to keep the records straight and would also appreciate that there are "displaced" New Englanders who get your paper and read it.

In this day and age when there is so much confusion and misunderstanding about the Church and about religious life, we need to keep those who are still working in the vineyard before the eyes of our people.

Perhaps Coyle or Coyle and Cassidy no longer have the good services of the Brothers in the high school apostolate, but they still give service in other ways in the Diocese of FalJ River.

Thank you for your time and God bless all of your endeavors.

April 6, 1978 Dearly beloved in Christ, It is indeed a pleasure for me, as Bishop of Fall River, to extend hearty congratulations and best wishes on the happy occasion of the Silver Jubilee of the Fall River Diocesan Council of the National Council of Catholic Women.

The past twenty-five years have witnessed the Fall River Diocesan Council prominently involved in programs of national dimension and scope. And the good ladies of the Council have served admirably and with distinction in roles of service at the national level. They have always been faithful collaborators with the bishops of the United States in furthering the Mission of the Church.

Within the Diocese of Fall River, the Council of Catholic Women has consistently been a strong voice for Catholic principle and practice. In this regard, the good women of the Council continue to be a source of much support and encouragement to me as Bishop, as well as a magnificent example of Catholic Faith to all. They indeed are faithful and responsible daughters of the Church.

I am very pleased to congratulate the ladies of the Fall River Diocesan Council of Catholic Women on their Twenty-fifth Anniversary, and I extend to all my prayerful regards for a full measure of God's choice blessings.

Devotedly yours in Christ,

Bishop of Fall River

National Council The National Council of Catholic Women, founded in 1920 by the !Bishops of the United States, is a federation of Catholic organizations of women.

Thousands of organizations. national, state, diocesan and local, make up the federation, which represents approximately nine million Catholic women throughout the United States and on U.S. military posts abroad.

The council aim is to unite these women in purpose, direction and action in religious, social, educational and charitable endeavors; to assist the affiliated organizations through publications, field services, correspondence, institutes and nation~ al conventions; and to provide national and international representation and voice for Catholic women of the United States.

NCCW Programs are promoted by national commissions working with counterparts on the diocesan, district and local levels.

Diocesan Unit The Fall River Diocesan Council of Catholic women was organized in June 1953 by the Most Reverend James L. Connolly. Marking the occasion, the bishop was the principal celebrant at a solemn Pontifical Mass at 8 p.m. at St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River - the first evening Mass in the Fall River Diocese.

On this 25th Anniversary of our Council, we pay tribute to Bishop Connolly for his foresight and wisdom in bringing it to our diocese. It has grown and flourished during these 25 years, uniting women from Provincetown and the Islands to the Attleboros in their work in the lay apostolate.

Devoted diocesan, district and affiliate moderators have worked and advised the women during this period. The late Rev. Msgr. Joseph Sullivan was the first diocesan moderator. He was succeeded by the Rev. Msgr.

Thomas F. Walsh, who served until his retirement, and our present moderator is Rev. Msgr.

Gerard J. Chabot.

We would also take this opportunity to salute the past presidents of the Fall River DCCW, who have nurtured the growth of our Council these first 25 years.

The dedication and devotion of all the women in Council work cannot easily be put into words but the result of their endeavors is evident in all areas of the Fall River diocese.

What To Seek "All that should be sought for in t-he exercise of prayer is conformity of our will with the divine will, in which consists the highest perfection." - St. Teresa of Avila

In continuing my interest in exceptional children, , I was one of the originators of the Bishop's Cha~ty Ball.

His Holiness Pope Paul VI, in recognition of my diocesan work, awarded me the Pro Ecciesla medal and I was the recipient . of the diocesan Marian Medal in 1968.

We encourage all women to participate in the affairs in their own areas. We are happy to say that many are truly active members, giving service to their cities and towns.

Our guidelines have always been the spiritual and corporal works of mercy and our main project has been the Bishop's Charity Ball, which we, with the St. Vincent de Paul Society, sponsor each yeln. Proceeds are used by Bishop Cronin for his work throughout the diocese with exceptional and underprivileged children. This past January was our 23rd Ball, held in honor of the bishop's 25th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood.

Work for the Rose Hawthorne Lathrop Home is next in popularity with our women. Many groups spend hours preparing bandages used in care of cancer patients.

She would be clothed in humanity. No pride or selfconceit would mar the beauty of the things she did.

She would be gentle in speech. From her lips would come no harsh words to wound the hearts that were nearest and dearest to her.

She would be personally attractive. She would glorify her Master by proving that he can make his followers beautiful with a more than earthly fairness.

She would be popular. But the host of friends whom she would draw would not stana between her and her Lord. Rather, she would draw them nearer him.

She would love pleasure, knowing that Christ would want her to be happy. But her good times would be of such a nature that Christ would be a sharer in them.

More than all, she would be consistent. Her way 9f life would square with her work.

So she would walk trium-

phantly the way of the Holy Cross, glorious in her discipleship and crowned with the more than royal crown that Christ will give to those who overcome.

Soul on Fire "Make many acts of love, for they .set the soul on fire and make it gentle." - St. Teresa of Avila

Mass at Bedside MORRIS PLAINS, N.J. (NC) - A bedside Mass marked the 24th birthday of Karen Ann Quinlan March 29 in Morris View Nursing Home, Morris Plains, N.J., where she remains in a coma that began nearly three years ago.

Father Thomas Trapasso of Our Lady of the Lake parish, Mount Arlington, N.J., her parish pastor, gave a homily on the theme of the mystery of divine providence. Five other priests concelebrated the Mass in Miss Quinlan's room. It was attended by her parents, Joseph and Julie Quinlan, and a few other relatives.

Miss Quinlan's case attracted worldwide attention in 1975 when her parents sought court pennission to disconnect a mechanical respirator believed to be keeping her alive in a comatose state. The family's request was tenned "moral1y correct" by the late Bishop Lawrence B. Casey of Paterson, N.J. After the respirator was disconnected, however, her vital functions continued and she was transferred from a hospital to the nursing home.
