'Called to Teach'

Enthusiastic and generous support of the 1977 Catholic Charities Appeal was asked in a letter frQm Bishop Daniel A. Cronin read at all Masses last weekend in the 112 parishes of the diocese. (Full text of the letter is on page. 3) The parish phase of the Appeal will start Sunday, May I, when 18,800 volunteer solicitors will visit 104,500 homes of fellow parishioners from noon to 2 p.m. or 1 to 3 p.m.

All parishioners have received contribution cards and have been requested to be at home during the designated hours to receive the solicitors and make their Appeal contributions.

In his letter, Bishop Cronin stated: "Those who need us are all around us. We have only to look about. How often we have heard these words. Yet how true they are. The Catholic Charities Appeal is a very special way in which, as a Diocesan family, we annually demonstrate our loving

concern for our brothers and sisters in need around us."

Each parish in the diocese will be contacted next Sunday after 8 p.m. by area headquarters directors for reports of donations and pledges received in the house-to-house calls. It is hoped that all parishes will make any additional home calls which may be necessary during the next 10 days of the' parish campaign which officially closes Wednesday, May 11.

Bishop Cronin expressed gratitude to 1976 Appeal supporters and urged their continued and even increased help for 1977.

He added: I understand the financial stress and strain of these days, for I share these difficulties with you. However, as Shepherd of this Diocese, I am also keenly aware of the ever inc)-easing needs of the many throughout the Diocese who rely for help on the charitable, social Turn to Page Twelve

It is not enough to be "just a wife and mother," she emphasized.

"Women must start to think for themselves, realizing that their thoughts are as important as those of any man and that they can bring the priceless gift of their own qualities to social problems," she said, adding, that American husbands and fathers are often inhibited from expressing their feelings. "They must be helped to develop the type of tenderness mothers have always had."

NCEA Convention Shows Variety Attending his first convention of the National Catholic Educational Association, which met during Easter week in San Francisco, Rev. George W. Coleman, new director of the Diocesan Department of Education, was impressed by the scope of the Catholic educational enterprise.

"In addition to Catholic primary and secondary schools, seminaries, colleges, universities, religious education programs and parents were represented," said the diocesan director.

Father Coleman said educators are watching with interest the progress of a tax relief bill introduced by Congressman Delaney and any moves made by President Carter with regard to aid to parents of private school students.

He said outstanding convention addresses were delivered by Father Andrew Greeley of the National Opinion Research Center and by Father David Tracy of the faculty of the University of Chicago Divinity School, who spoke on unity and pluralism in the Church.

Also representing the Fall River diocese at the convention was Sister Marion Geddes, RSM, superintendent of diocesan schools.

In general the diversity of the peoples who share the faith of

the Church and their sometimes conflicting views were evident at the convention, whose theme was "many peoples - shared faith."

Alexis M. Herman, a black who is Women's Bureau director in the U.S. Labor Department,_ opened the convention with a defense of the controversial Call to Action Conference in Detroit last fall, while Father Greeley attacked the conference as evidence that the Church's leadership is out of touch with the people.

Between the two addresses, the more than 8,100 participants in the convention: -Were told by Sister Helen Garvey of the World Without War Council, Berkley, Calif., that, in a pluralistic church, in a complex world, there is no simple "one path" in decision making or problem solving.

-Heard Robert N. Bellah, professor of sociology at the University of California, caution that ethnic and religious plur$llism must not be made an absolute, but must be subject to the judgment of love and truth.

Father Greeley was one of three recipients at the convention of NCEA's highest award, the C. Albert Koob Award, named for its former president.

AWORD OF THANKS The Staff of The Anchor wishes to express its sincere gratitude to the many business firms, diocesan agencies and parishes who were so kind as to offer congratulations on our 20th anniversary.

A very special word of appreciation to the many firms that advertise in this paper throughout the year. Together with our faithful subscribers, they make this newspaper possible. We hope that you will continue this support as we for our part maintain our efforts to make this newspaper not only Catholic in tone but universal in acceptance. ~

DIOCESE OF FALL RIVER Fall River, Massachusetts April 24, 1~77 Dearly beloved in Christ, Those who need us are all around us. We have only to look about. How often we have heard these words. Yet how true they are.

The Catholic Charities Appeal is a very special way in which, as a Diocesan family, we annually demonstrate our loving concern for our brothers and sisters in need around us.

It gives me great pleasure as Bishop of Fall River to announce that the very important and extremely vital phase of this year's Catholic Charities Appeal will begin on next Sunday, May 1, 1977. Fellow parishioners will personally visit your home on that day in order to receive your contribution to the Appeal.

Believe me, I understand well the financial stres:; and strain of these days, for I share these difficulties with you. However, as Shepherd of this Diocese, I am .also keenly aware of the ever increasing needs of the many throughout the Diocese who rely for help on the charitable, social and educational agencies funded by our Annual Appeal.

Like the Apostle Peter in today's gospel, our love for the Lord must be reflected in love for our brothers and sisters. In particular, it must be concretized in active concern for the needy and underprivileged in our midst. This may entail some sacrifice on our part.

Yet, how all the more will we be like Peter who imitated the Lord by willingly sacrificing himself for his sheep.

I earnestly beg each -of you to be as generous as possible in your support of the 1977 Catholic Charities Appeal.

Asking an abundance of God's choice blessings upon one and all throughout the Diocese, I remain

themoorin~ Call Your Congressperson

Have you had difficulty with some aspect of the Internal Revenue Service? Has your letter to the FederaL Aviation Agency been ignored? Are you interested in some particular bill before the Congress and do not know what to do?

So often when ordinary citizens write to a government agency, they become the victims of red tape and the Washington merry-go-round. In many situations the bureaucracy of the nation's capital is like an insatiable octupus ignoring the little man as it searches Ol~t the bigger fish. For months and sometimes for years, people have been left hanging in mid-air as they attempt to get some response to their problems from various agencies of the national government.

They are given the run-around as their pleas are ignored and their questions Unanswered.

What can one person do? How can you get some solutions to your problems with due speed and dispatch? The answer is relatively easy yet few have availed themselves of it. Call your Congressperson! Each and every member of Congress has representatives in various areas of his or her district. Call your representative, let him or her know how you have been treated. Explain your case in detail.

If it is at all reasonable, you'll see how things can improve and sometimes with remarkable speed.

Now, some would say this is using "politics" to solve an issue or concern. In some cases, this might be true.

However, the vast majority of constituents do not use the good offices of their elected officials that are at their disposal. Few truly believe that Congresspeople are their representatives.

But they are in Washington because the people put them there to act in their name. They are your voice in the nation's capital. Let them be just that when you have a problem or a particular concern. Because, if they do not act, you can, the next time they want your vote and the votes of your family and friends.

"(We recommend) that the parish personalize its outreach into the neighborhood community to develop an increased level of human concern and positive interchange and intervention," Now if that sentence means anything at all (and it may not), it probably is that the parish ought to be concerned about the people in the neighborhood.

But you don't want to say that because then you don't sound serious and important.

Sample: .. . . . we recommend that parish churches and other Catholic institutions recognize themselves as part of the neighborhood in which they exist, and working with and in.volved with 'the multicultural, pluralistic situation of I)eighborhoods, assume responsibility for supporting. strengthening, and developing instruments through which people can determine their needs and improve the quality of their lives," My guess is that the author is here saying the same thing that the parhe did before ish ought to be concerned with everything that goes on and with all the people in its neighborhood.

Sample: " . . . the parish and other Catholic institutions should be a rallying point for immediate person-to-person assistance, as well as a facilitator to work with the people to determine and find remedies for their problems," There is a new note here. Not only should the parish be concerned about its people, it should actually try to help them.

A splendid idea, though a lot of people who lived and worked all their lives in neighborhoods will wonder why you need a special meeting in Detroit to arrive at that insight.

Retain Abortion Fundi'ng Ban WASHINGTON (NC) - The House Judiciary Committee has voted 20-12 to retain unchanged a ban on the use of federal Legal Services Corporation funds for abortion.

The Legal Services Corporation provides about $125 million a year for community public-

assistance legal services prQgrams.

In 1974 Congress passed an amendment to the program which said no Legal Services funds may be used "to provide legal assistance with respect to any proceedings or litigation. which seeks to procure a nontherapeutic abortion or to com·

pel any individual or institution to perform an abortion or to assist in the performance of an abortion or to provide facilities for the performance of an abortion or to provide facilities for the performance of an abortion contrary to the religious beliefs or moral convictions of such individuals or institutions."

The Sermon on the Mount, especially, represents "the- only way people can live," he said.

Notre Dame University has launched a five-year, $130 million development program, thought to be the largest fundraising campaign ever attempted by a Catholic university.

Almost three fourths of the goal - $92 million ~ is earmarked for the university's endowment, while more than $2n million is slated for physical facilities and $8.7 million for operating costs.

Powell, a blue-eyed repertory and TV actor, said he was uncertain when first offered the part because of what he called the "profound responsibility" it involved. He grew up in an Anglican famHy but did not attend church. The intensive research needed to portray Jesus "con-

Homes With Dignity It would not be too far from the truth to say that a great deal can be understood about the philosophy and objectives of patient care in the homes for the elderly in the Diocese of Fall River from the names they have. The Catholic Memorial Home was established almost 40 years ago to provide a home with security for men and women who could no longer cope with their physical problems. The main object was to provide security in a total Christian way; spiritual as well as physical.

If, in the course of human events, nursing services were required, they of course would be available. However, the main thrust was to make it a home in the real sense of the word. The Diocese was greatly aided in this apostolic endeavor by the securing of the services of the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm of Germantown, New York, to staff the Home. They brought with them, already developed, the technical and spiritual skills that are essential to this type of an operation.

With the success and expansion of the Catholic Memorial Home and recognizing the need for this type of service, the Diocese as the years went by established Homes in other areas: Our Lary's Haven, Fairhaven, Ma.; Marion Manor, Taunton Ma.; Madonna Manor, North Attleboro, Ma. New Bedford had the good fortune of already having the Sacred Heart Home operated by the Grey Nuns of Montreal. This' today represents a large number of nursing home beds for a Diocese this size.

In fact, it is the largest in the country in proportion to the number of Catholics.

In recent years, as a result of our country's fast growing ageing population, governments both federal and state have been more and more involved in the operations of these homes by way of rules and regulations. Unfortunately the main thrust of the regulations are on nursing services with an overall philosophy derived from hospital acute care experience. It is only with great difficulty that the Carmelite Sisers who staff Catholic Memorial Home and Our Lady's Haven and the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation who staff Madonna Manor and Marian Manor are able to keep faithful to the main objectives of the Diocesan Apostolate to the aged and infirm; namely, to provide a secure Christian home during their declining years.

There are those in our present governmental system who want to judge everything on cost. If it costs less, it is better; if more, it is bad.

The feelings and problems of persons are only secondary if considered at all. In a Christian sense there is no dollar value that can be placed on human life - young or old. The Catholics of the Diocese of Fall River can take great pride in the commitment of their Diocese to the preservation of this value. We should all be aware that this is not going to become easier in the coming years. To sum up with a quote from a statement of the Catholic Hospital Association, "In Catholic sponsored long term care facilities the spiritual and corporal works of mercy are administered in a home-like atmosphere and with technical and professional excellence. It is here that we may serve as leaven in transforming the world through visible Christian witness ... We believe that within our Catholic ~onsorships a unique contribution can be made to the lon.g term care field."

He spoke with affection of Madame Benilda of the Religious of the Holy Union of the Sacred Hearts, his first grad~ teacher.

"She was路 great," he said.

"Very strict" was his description of Madame Cyprian, who taught him Latin and the rudiments of serving Mass.

Appreciative of the strictness was a 1911 Sacred Heart graduate who did not wish to be identified but who said the education imparted at the school was "second to none."

In those days, she said, "there was real teaching and we did "honest-to-goodness work with no frills. I think today's children are being shortchanged."

THE. ANCHORThurs:, April 28, 1977

S,acr-ed H,ear,t Sc:hoo,1 What could have been -an occasion for individual nostalgia and regret has become a time for reunion and reminiscing as members of Sacred Heart parish, Fall River, plan a "grand finale" for their 99-year-old school, scheduled to close in June, a victim of the all-too-familiar problems of increased costs and decreased availability of Sister"teachers.

The finale, scheduled for Saturday night, June 4, will offer Mass, a buffet supper and music for dancing, listening or reminiscing by. The planning committee will meet at the school at 7:30 tomorrow night to work on arrangements for the event.

A search is on for the oldest living graduate of Sacred Heart, who will be a guest of honor for the evening. Also wanted are old class pictures, programs and other mementoes of school activities over the past 99 years.

Certainly a contender for the

In 1919

THE PRESENT SACRED HEART SCHOOL oldest-graduate honor is William Hayden, now of Tivertor., who graduated from the then ninegrade school in 1909, one of a small class of "eight oI." nine students." The only graduate 'to

continue to high school, he recollects that at that time children from Catholic schools had to take an entrance examination to transfer to the public high school.

New Group Is Formed WASHINGTON o(NC) - Voluntary agel\cies in the fields of health, human services, higher education, the arts and religion have joined to form Coalition of National Voluntary Organizations (CONVO). Members include the U.S. Catholic Confer-

ence, the National Conference of Catholic Charities, The American Council .on Education, the American Hospital Association, the Associated Council of the Arts, the Council of Jewish Federated and Welfare Funds, Inc., and the United Way of America.

The Sisters of Mercy Province of Providence

An examination of a yearbook issued by Sacred Heart parish in 1919 reveals some of the differences between those days and these. In 1918, it reports, total salaries paid four priests, 12 Sisters, two sextons, the choi:' and the organist amounted to but $7,881.23, while school supplies and improvements for the year cost only $1,375.90.

Children paid no tuition, the

school, a forerunner of today's large building, being maintained "by the free will offerings of the congregation for the purpose of giving the children of. the parish a sound, moral and religious training, together with a suitable and solid academic education.

Explaining the goals of th':! faculty, the book continues: "The intent and purpose of the Madames (of the Union of the Sacred Hearts) is to give to the family, dutiful and obedient children; to the church, practical and enlightened Catholics; to the State, patriotic and intelligent citizens; and to society, useful and cultured men and women," Parish children attended a special Sunday Mass in the parish chapel in 1918, at which adults were not permitted. Nor could the children attend Sunday Masses in the upper church or "go to confession in the evening at any time," The rules, of which there were many more, might seem strict but they produced generations of Catholics who look back on their days at Sacred Heart with affec路 tion. On June 4 they will relive them.

Are You Among The 12 Percent? ,

CmCAGO (NC) - If a parish staff can involve 15 percent of parishioners in activities outside of the Sunday liturgy, it is "above average," according to Jesuit Father Thomas P. Sweetser. "The average is about 12 percent."

Father Sweetser is the director of the Parish Evaluation pro-" ject. a teacher at the Institutue for Pastoral Studies and the author of "The Catholic Parish, Shifting Membership in a Changing Church."

A survey of almost 7,000 people in 35 parishes around the country indicates about 80 percent go to Mass at least every other week, and 60 percent to Communion," the priest said.

The survey indicates the number of people going to Confession is declining, he said, "although the new rite (of Penance) hasn't made its influence felt yet," and about 80 percent of parishioners are not taking part in study groups, retreats, workshops or similar activities.

Since people are attending Sunday services, "that's the place to build," Father Sweetser said.

His analysis of why people are not joining in parish activities, he said, suggests that many "are just too busy elsewhere" and some "are turned off by changes in the liturgy."

Some parishioners feel "the parish is somehow controlled by small 'in' groups" and still others "just don't expect much" from parish life, he said.

Bishop Louis E. Gelineau of Providence, chairman of the USCC subcommittee on film and broadcasting said that satellite and cable technology "open up new opportunities to inform, educate and inspire our people," The demonstration project at the bishops' meeting in Chicago will involve satellites, special ground receiving stations and cable distribution through 120 systems serving 1.5 million homes in 60 dioceses across the country.

Robert Schmidt of Washington, president of the National Cable Television Association, emphasized that the satellite-cable demonstration would be "the first institutional test, on a national scale, of satellite and cable television,"

It Was Carwash, Not Overhaul MEMPHIS, Tenn. (NC) Catholic training in the examination of conscience has been so steeped in "legalism" that it is difficult for Catholics to "confess real sins and root out their real causes," a Jesuit retreat advisor said here.

"We have been trained in legalism to examine our conscience according to a specific list of laws and if what we did is not on the books then we feel it must be O.K.," said Jesuit Father David Knight.

"We have lost contact with the mind and heart of Jesus Christ," Father Knight said in an interview with Common Sense, newspaper of the Memphis diocese. "We are living a system of religion instead of making our religion a genuine response to a real person Jesus Christ.

"Confession as we experienced it under the old rite dealt more with forgiveness than with reo form," the priest said. "It was a carwash, not an overhaul."

The new rite of penance, or reconciliation, which has been developed as a result of the Second Vatican Council and is now mandatory in the United States, "is potentially one of the most powerful, most helpful practices of the spiritual life, provided it is used as it should be, with full awareness of what

it is an what it is not," Father Knight said.

Are You Suffering?

The new rite of reconciliation, he said, "is a face-to-face encounter in which it is more conductive for the confessor and the penitent to talk things out and get to the root of the sin problem."

He urged all Catholics to examine their consciences "in thelight of what Christianity should produce in your life."

Among questions he suggested penitents ask themselves in an examination of conscience was: "Am I suffering persecution for the cause of justice? Jesus was a scandal to people when He was on earth. If no one finds you a scandal, then you must not be living the Gospel.

"Or, if people don't think you are a little fanatic and hard to accept because of your high ideals, then you're not realry bearing Christian witness."

Two-Pronged Attack WASHINGTON (NC) - The Catholic Press Association (CPA) has planned a two-pronged attack to fight increased postal rates for non-profit publishers, including religious newspapers and magazines. It will look for relief from both the Postal Service and from Congress.

IN THE DIOCESE

By BILL MORRISSETTE

Homosexual Help Called Wanting CHICAGO (NC) - A large majority of priests responding to a survey by the Thomas More Association said the Church's official teaching is an inadequate basis for pastoral care of homosexuals.

According to 70 percent of the poll respondents, Church teaching on homosexuality is "too

narrow, unyielding, unrealistic, absurd, (and) should be more sympathetic, sensitive (and) understanding."

The results were published in the newsletter, For Priests, which noted that, "The data are not exhaustive." ~ut the survey is nevertheless unique, according to the news-

letter's editor, Michael F. McCauley, who termed it "the only firsthand feedback that we so far possess about the attitudes and pastoral responses of priests who are actually in the front tines of ministry with these persons."

Condemns Movie 'Nasty Habits' BOSTON (NC) - A resolution was introduced in the Massachusetts legislature condemning the movie "Nasty Habits" as a "blatant and outrageous assault on the Catholic Church and all Catholics in particular."

Rep. Raymond L. Flynn of South Boston, who presented the resolution, said he was "shoclted and appalled that the movie industries would allow a showing of such a vulgarly sacrilegiou3, demeaning piece of trash."

The representative's action followed publication in the Bos-

ton Herald American of Patriek J. Buchanan's syndicated column, "Why Do the Catholks Take It?" The columnist commented on an article in the National Catholic Register on "The Mugging of the Roman Catholic Church," in which the writer, Bill Gavin, posed the question: "Why isn't outrage shown when Roman Catholic institutions and beliefs are mocked or criticized?"

Buchanan suggested that the answer to the question lies in two truths of our time.
