5aviolfr Day Nursery FAREWELL - Cathy Bruno, left, and her daughter Amelia, center, were among many who attended an open house at the St. Saviour Day Nursery last Sunday to say good-bye to the Sisters of the Resurrection who staff the school and to take a last walk through. St. Saviour will close at the end of June after 40 years of caring for pre-schoolers from the Greater New Bedford Area. Cathy, who organized the open house, was a student there in the late 1960s, while Amelia, age three, attended this year. Here they join Sister Marcella, community superior, and Sister Leandra, who has been at the school since it opened its doors. The Sisters of the Resurrection have also served as sacristans for the Diocesan Television Mass since its first broadcast in 1963. (Photo by John E. Kearns Jr.)

the living word· (

Ethics and· communication The ads for personal computers, paging systems and visual telephones dominate much of our advertising market. In the process they are changing the face of our entire world of communications. For the most part, it is only the beginning. Much of our future will be determined by various and developing means of communications. The control of social communications will indeed become a determined factor in our entire social order. Who are these people? They are public officials, corporate executives, owners, publishers and station managers, editors, news directors, producers, writers .. and the like. For these people, the question of ethics, good or bad, is . an imploding issue. Social communication has immense power. In the field of economics it supports business and commerce, employment and prosperity, fosters competition and enables people to make personal choices of goods. Today's economic systems could not function · without the media. . In the world of politics, social communication. is the information Web for the entire political process. It is the media, for better or worse, that can influence political results. Our recent presidential election stands in testimony to this reality. The media has become an indispensable tool in elections. They supply information again, · pro or con, for events, officeholders and espec;ially for candidates. So often, the media can call and manipulate an election. The-media play an ever-expanding role in the field of education. Various media equipment are standard instruction tools in many. classrooms. Beyond the classroom walls the instruments of communication including the Intemet, conquer barriers of distance and isolation. In this particular area the media must be extremely careful in their presentation of information. They must always guard against offering materials that would lead people into glamorizing evil and . perverse values. The media can be an effective means to spread the "GoOd News." Many people's religious lives are enhanced through the media. Local and national programming of religious events provid~s encouragement and opportunities to persons who are confmed to their homes or to institutions. On the other hand the .media can also be hostile to religion and people's beliefs. This area of communications is often subjective and debasing. A positive and objective mind-set is needed if religious concerns are to be treated with respect and dignity. It should be obvious that despite their immense power, the means of communication are only media. They are instruments available for both good and evil uses. ChoiCes rest ultimately on each individual. Ethics in the media is not simply the choice of communication specialists. It should be remembered that the media do nothing by themselves, they are tools used as people choose to use them. We take it for granted that the vast majority of people involved in communications are· conscientious individuals who want to do the right thing. Public officials, policymakers· and corporate executives · desire to respect and promote the public interest, as they Wlderstand it. Today, most professional communicators desire to use their tal~ ents to serve the human family and are troubled by the growing economic and i4eological pressures to lower ethical standards. . It should be noted that to work in the media is a vocation dedi, cated to truth and the welfare of the human family. In this light, this call, of its very nature demands from those who involve themselves in the media, sincere outreach to foster and support high ethic~ standards. The heart of ethics in the media is to be found in the service of the human person, grounded in honesty and justice, speaking the truth about human'life and its fulfillment in God.

How ·can we ever achieve peace? By FATliER EUGENE HEMRICK CATliOUC NEWS SERVICE

With the escalation of wars involving Israel and Palestine, Macedonia and Albania, and a myriad of other bloody' clashes throughout the world, how reasonabl~ is it to expect peace in our lifetime? Perhaps a better question to ask is: What is a reasonable understanding of peace in this life? There is a frieze at the U.S. Capitol, "The Apotheosis of Democracy," that offers a balanced view of it.. . . . The Editor In the middle of the frieze stands the allegorical figure of Peace, with people enjoying their work in farming, industry and maritime trade surrounding her. Just behind her is an olive tree, 'the hallmark of peace..The idylOFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE DIOCESE OF FALL RIVER lic scene symbolizes the fruits of Published weekly by The Catholic Press of the Diocese of Fall River peace par excellence.

never permanent, but must be fought for, and once gained, must be defended repeatedly. The underlying theme of good vs. evil is repeated frequently in other friezes found on Capitol Hill. A LibrarY of Congress mosaic portrays Law standing with her friends - Industry, Peace and Truth - on her right, and her enemies - Fraud, Violence and Discord - on her left. The lesson is clear: Wherever peace is found, So, too, are' her enemies found,' .. If peace is so elusive and difficult to maintain, what did Christ mean when he told his apostles that he had brought peace to the world?' . The peace Christ speaks of is knowing that the eternal life he gained for us is our reward for trying to maintain peace. Christ is telling us that on this earth the real lasting peace we can achieve is in knowing and believing that eternal life and peace await us. But there is even more to understanding peace than this. The fact that we can't achieve a lasting peace on this earth ,doesn't mean we shouldn't try to

achieve some semblance of it. On the contrary, the Beatitudes implore us to be peacemakers. But how do we accomplish this when the odds are against us in . terms of stopping wars or even minor conflicts? We start with the little things. We start close to home. . Cutting remarks are ol)e source of discord at home. We speak rather casually of "cutting someone down," but cutting remarks draw blood, and this often turns to discord and its own kind of warfare. When we think about it, big wars usually begin with remarks that are grinding or cutting, or with people who freeze others out. Allit takes is a little hurt here and there or a snub to create great tension. Although we may not be able to stop major wars being fought around the world, we can start the peace process at home. Avoiding the little hurts that leave peace in an at-risk position in our lives is one step to take. And we should remember that we have to keep creating peace over and over again - that it is somewhat precarious and not meant to be taken for granted.

Activist works to help children By NANCyWESTWND CATliOUC NEWS SERVICE

SACRAMENTO, Calif. For Barbara Lubin of Berkeley, it's always been about the children. The children in the Dehiyshe Palestinian refugee camp on the West Bank who can't sleep because of the shelling outside their windows. The children of friends living in Gaza City who have seen enough violence that they fear going to school. And the countless Palestinian children she knows with the look of hunger in their eyes: Lubin is a crusader for Palestinian rights as director of the Middle East Children's Alliance. She brought her campaign to achieve peace in the Middle East to an audience at St. Ignatius Parish in Sacramento in mid-May.. A Jewish mother of four, she has taken a different path from the one she walked as a child growing up in "a very rightwing kind of Jewish home," she said in an interview with The Catholic Herald, Sacramento diocesan newspaper. Two events changed her perspective and her life. The first occurred in 1968 when her son Charlie was born with Down syndrome. She waged a lengthy legal battle to ensure that all children have the right to be educated together in the least restrictive environment possible. But fighting school districts and bureaucracies' as a children's rights activist, Lubin said, was "a piece of cake" compared to the challenge she accepted during her tenure on the Berkeley Board of Education in the 1980s.

Bishops ~ vote on revised norms on Communion By JERRY FILTEAU CATHOUC NEWS SERVICE WASHINGTON - The U.S. Catholic bishops are preparing to: vote this week on a revised version of 'This Holy and Living Sacrifice;' a ~tory on the reception ofCommunion under both kinds in the U.S. Church. The bishops are currently meet~ ing in Atlanta. : The revised directory they are to vote on encourages Catholics to receive Communion under both forms, bread and wine. It quotes the Vatican's new Gen~ eral Instruction of the Roman MisL sal: "Holy Coinmunion has a more complete form as a sign when it is received under both kinds." The original 'This Holy and Living Sacrifice" was issued in 1984 in conjunction with a Vatican indult - or exception to general Church law - allowing U.S. bishL ops to make broader use ofthe practice of Communion under both kinds in their diocese. The new instruction says a bishop can allow Communion under both kinds whenever it seems appropriate to a community's pas~ tor, "provided that the faithful have been well instructed and there is no danger ofthe profanation ofthe saCrament or that the rite would be difficult to carry out on account of the number of participants or for some other reason." Father James P. Moroney, executivedirectorofthe U.S. bishops' Secretariat for Liturgy, said the new directory, if approved by the U.S. bishops and the Vatican, would in effect establish an indult to continue three current U.S. practices that are not permitted by the norms of the new general instruction. One such exception would state that during the Agnus Dei, ("Lamb of God") if the celebrant is unable to distribute the eucharistic bread and wine into ancillary vessels

within a reasonable time and there is no concelebrating priest or deacon to assist him, "extraordinary rnipisters of holy Communion may assist with the pouring of the Precious Blood (into additional chalices) and the distribution of the consecrated hosts into ancillary vessels.!' While the instruction says that extraordimiry ministers are not to approach the altar until Communion time, the permission for them to assist at the altar during the Agnus Dei would automatically make an exception to that nOfQl. Another general norm reserves the consumption of the remaining Precious Blood after Communion to priests and deacons. The proposed new text then adds: ''When there are extraordinary ministers of holy Communion, they may cOlisume what remains of the Precious Blood from their cup of distribution." : A third general norm authorizes only an ordained minister or permanently installed acolyte to purify the sacred vessels after Communion or after Mass. The proposed U.S. text says, ''When a suffiCient number ofpriests or deacons are not available, extraordinary ministers of holy Communion may purify the vessels." , Father Moroney said priests may have good pastoral reasons forasking the assistance of extraordinary ministers in consuming the reniaining Precious Blood and purifying the vessels. One would be time constraints for priests who have to celebrate Mass in several parishes each weekend. Another would be the practical difficulty a priest may face if he has to consume the remaining contents of several chalices. Adoption of the directory requires approval by at least twothirds of all Latin-rite members of the bishops' conference, followed by legal recognition ofthe bishops' action by the Holy See.

Panelists share stories to assess lay ministry's future Bishop Joseph P. Delaney, a former priest of the Fall River diocese, spoke of laity's growing role. By NANCY FRAZIER O'BRIEN CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE

BALTIMORE - Panelists at the National Association for Lay Ministry conference shared their own stories recently in an effort to assess future directions in the growing field of lay ministry. "I'm extraordinarily optimistic about the future of lay ministry," said Bishop Joseph P. Delaney of Fort Worth, Texas, chairman of the U.S. bishops' subcommittee on lay ministry. "The whole future is wide open."

Priest, .soldiers found guilty in' Guatemalan {Jishop's murd~r GUATEMALA CITY (CNS) - Three military officers and a priest were found guilty of the 1998 murder ofAuxiliary Bishop Juan Gerardi Conedera of Guatemala City. A three-judge tribunal found the officers guilty of murder and sentenced each to 30 years in prison. Father Mario Orantes, who lived with Bishop Gerardi, was sentenced to ~O years as an accessory to the murder. Lawyers said they would ap'peal. Bishop Gerardi's housekeeper, Margarita Lopez, was found innocent of charges that she covered up the murder. . The trial marked the first time high-ranking Guatemalan military officials were forced to testify about their actions. Bishop Gerardi, who headed the Guatemala archdiocesan human rights office,was bludgeoned to death outside his home in April 1998, two days after he released a report blaming the military for the majority ofthe 200,000 deaths

- A DECAYING Atlantis is revealed in the new Disney animated adventure "Atlantis: The Lost ~mpire:' (eNS photo from Walt Disney Pictures)

Movie-goers discover Atlantis in new Disney flick By ANNE NAVARRO CATHOUC NEWS SERVICE NEWYORK- The legend of the lost continent comes alive in the imaginative animated adventure "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" (Disney). Known for "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Hunchback of Notre Datne," directing duo Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise team up once again in a film that pays homage to the storytelling style of Jules Verne. "Atlantis" combines the adventure theme of Verne's novel "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" with the lore of the famed lost city. The story is set in 1914 with mild-mannered Milo Thatch (voiced by Michael J. Fox), a cartographer and linguistics expert, as its hero. Like his late grandfather before him, Milo is convinced he knows the whereabouts of the lost city ofAtlantis: Once athriving civilization; Atlantis was swallowed by a giant tidal wave at the height of its glory when its king (voiced by Leonard Nimoy) tried to use the city's crystal energy source to dominate the world. The adventure begins when eccentric billionaire Preston B. Whitmore (voiced by John Mahoney) finances ~ ~xpe~i~oh to find~tlantis ~d asks Milo to lend hiS lingUistics expertise to gUIde a team of exp~orers. Milo is presented ~ith a mysterious and ancient book that could prOVide the key to finding th~ l?st empire and that was left to Whitmore by Milo s grandfather. Together with a crew made up of. experts in geology, medicine and demolition, ~lo sets forth on a ~tate-of-the-art .submarine and discovers more than Just a lost empue. The narr~tive is mor~ involved than most Disney films, touchmg more directly on the theme of greed and. ~varice, while still wrapping things up on a pOSItive note. However, "Atlantis" drowns in its own plot details. The explanation of the lost city's energy source is as mysterious as the city itself. And the filt,n's opening sequence in which citizens of AtlantIS speak in their Latin-sounding gibberish

(accompanied by subtitles) is likely to be confusing to children. The film's angular, edgy animation is a fresh departure from the usual Disney fashion, while still retaining the familiar attention to detail and color. Characters have a very blunt look, with squaredoff fingers and pointy facial features, resembling . Japanese cartoons and video games. "Atlantis" seems to be Disney'S foray into the nonmusical animated action genre, apparently to . compete with films such as "Titan A.E." and "The Iron Giant." However, with volcanic explosions and scenes from the heroic climax popping out at the audience, the action is also more intense than in most Disney cartoons. Yet, distinctive characters and a fine ensemble voice cast make up for some of the film's shortcomings. Fox's endearing Milo wins the friendship and respect of the rough-and-tumble crew through his integrity and courage. Commander Rourke, given a world-weary yet amiable quality through the voice ofJames Gamer, is the surprise villain. Don Novello, whose voice some may recognize from his days as Father Guido Sarducci on "Saturday Night Live," offers quite a funny turn as the laid-back demolition expert, Vinny. And the late Jim Varney, creator of the lovable yet exasperating bumpkin character Ernest, is a good fit for the crew's crusty cook, Cookie. 'Though the eye-popping animation is accomplished and the characters are engaging, the muddling of the film's fanciful narrative diminishes its overall appeal. And the heightened action sequences may be overwhelming to younger children accustomed to a more gentle film viewing experience. Due to intermittent action violence, the U.S. Catholic Conference classification is A-II - adults and adolescents.

Forgettable romantic comedy in which a young man (Kipp Marcus) gives up a promising career as he mopes for years' over his best friend (Alice Dylan), each being too proud to be the first to say "I love you." Director Adam Marcus' low-budget comedy has droll moments and some engaging characters, but the wafer-thin . story line cannot support an entire movie without becoming tiresome. Sexual situations and references, frequent rough language, minimal profanity, fleeting nudity and comically intended violence. The U.S. Catholic Conference classification is A-III - adults.

Appeal

Msgr. Harrington noted that the fact that the parishes' leadership are not satisfied with just surpassing the total they reached last. year is most significant. "They realize the great need that exists among the tens of thousands of those who come to our agencies and apostolates for aid each year," he said. "They also realize that the increase in the demand for services that is evident in all of the Appealfunded areas requires this extra effort." The Appeal books close for

parishes at the end of the day on June 21, it was reported. The matvelous effort on the final leg of the campaign has also raised optimism among the Appeal leaders that the 60th annual effort will exceed last year's totals.

Young people embrace role of eucharistic ministers. FALL RIVER - Over the past few months 95 teen-agers and young adults, representing 35 parishes in the diocese, have participated in training to become euchari.stic ministers in their parishes. They range in age from 16 years to 24 and·are taking advantage of the lowered age limits implemented by Bishop Sean P. O'Malley OFM Cap., several years ago. Bishop O'Malley lowered the age for being an extraordinary mi,nister of the Eucharist from 25 years of age to one who is 16 and confirmed. Since then, more .than 250 teens and young adults have participated in the Eu-

charist training sessions sponsored by the Youth and Young Adult Ministry Office. The training sessions were broken into three parts. The first was a discussion and reflection on Catholic discipleship and the responsibilities of being a public figure: in the parish community. The second was a presentation on the theology of the Eucharist and the Church's teaching regarding the real presence of the Eucharist while the third dealt with the "How To's and What If's" of eucharistic ministry. Youth and Young Adult Ministry Director Bud Millerfacilitated the sessions.

Father Cook will serve as parochial vicar at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish, New Bedford. Father Frederici will be parochial vicar at Our Lady of Victory Parish, Centerville.

The graduate By CHRISTOPHER CARSTENS CATHOUC NEWS SERVICE

Graduation Season, 2001, has come and gone, and my streak is intact. Once again, nobody asked me to be their commencement speaker. Had someone invited me, here is what I would have said. Congratulations, Class of 2001. You've reached one of life's true transition points. That's why they make you dress up in funny outfits and march into the auditorium while the orchestra plays. Something important is happening, and graduation is designed to make you notice. Today, it's official. You're not a kid anymore. For years, you've demanded that your parents stop treating you like a child. Today, it's a done deal. Walk out of this room with a diploma, and the little kid part of your life is over. All the grownups in this room agree - in fact, all the grownups in town agree - that we're not in charge of your lives any more. That's not the same as saying you're own your own. As much as we can we'll help with tuition for college or whatever train-ing you decide on in the next few years. You can keep your bedroom for a while. Some parents may even help out with the gas and insurance for a few more years. So what does it mean that you aren't kids anymore? It isn't that you can take over the world right away. Our gen-

eration still runs the schools and businesses and government agencies. You won't see this ad in any newspaper: "Wanted, company president. High school diploma

required." What it means is that we can't go around anymore trying to set things up so that you don't make mistakes. It makes you mad when we do that anyway. Today we promise to quit. We won't remind you to wear a jacket when it's cold outside. We won't be calling your professors or your bosses, telling them that you need a little extra time getting things done. We won't make sure you carry money for lunch. If you forget, and go hungry, so be it. You're not a little kid. Starting today, we promise to show you the respect of letting you make your own mistakes and then being responsible to clean up your own messes. If you don't show up at work, they'll fire you. If you don't learn new skills, you'll be stuck in entry-level jobs

forever. If you start a business and haven't learned enough about how the market works, your business will go broke. We will trust you enough to let you fail - by yourself - because that's the only way you'll be able to succeed - for yourself. Success in any endeavor is rarely a matter of succeeding the first time you try. Far more often, it goes this way: Try, _and fail. Try something else, and succeed, based on what you learned from your first failure. Because life' changes so quickly, hardly ever is any success permanent or final. The job you love and thrive in may disappear. The project you launch may do well for a while, fall apart completely, then tum into something terrific you hadn't even imagined. You'll go through this cycle of failure and accomplishment again and again. Really successful people learn something new each time. Achievement'in life depends on making your own decisions, making your own mistakes and then figuring out how to start all over again. For a while we'll still be around to help, but we're getting out of your way. Your comments are welcome. Please address: Dr. Christopher Carstens, c/o Catholic News Service, 3211 Fourth St. N.E., Washington, D.C. 20017.
