Schools

pastoral

By Pat McGowan with NC News reports Like their counterparts across the nation, educators in the Fall River diocesan school systems are moving promptly to include the bishops' war and peace pas­ toral in the academic curriculum for the coming year.

Father George W. Coleman, director of the Diocesan Depart­ ment of Education, said an "in­ fusion method" of integrating justice and peace issues into the regular curriculum has been in place for two years in kinder­ garten through 12th grade class­ rooms. The method keeps les­ son plans already in use, infus­ ing material from a new topic such as the pastoral into them.

It allows teachers to relate such a topic to various subjects rather than confining it to one part of the curriculum.

The pastoral will become an important facet of the method, said Father Coleman. ik Sister Ann Moore, CND, assis­ I1 , J rt tant superintendent of schools, '9 ' ';1 e-J noted that Dr. Joseph Fahey, WITH SUCH WILUNG WORKERS rapid completion can be anticipated for the new St. Joan of Arc Church in head of peace studies at Man­ Orleans.

Fra Angelico

beatified

ViA11ICAoN CITY (NC)-Pope John Paul II has bypassed red tape to rule that Fra Angelico, a Dominican friar and Floren­ tine painter of the early Renais­ sance, is worthy of ,the title "blessed" popularjty bestowed on him for centuries.

In a document sent to the Rome headquar.ters of the Do­ minican order in early July, the pope set Feb. 18 as ,the date when Blessed Angelico may be honored in Catholic liturgies throughout the wOl'lld.

The document bestowing ,the honor on the 15th-century paint­ er was a "moto propr.io," mean­ ing that the pope was acting on his own initiative.

With the document, Pope John Paul short-circuited usual Vati­ can procedures leading to beati­ fication and canonization.

T'he beatification process usu­ ally ,takes years and ·includes investigation .of the candidate's life, writings and practice of virtue and approval of at least two miracles attributed to his or her intercession.

The cause for Fra Angetico had never ·been formally ·intro­ duced at the Vatican although he. was populal'lly known as ",Blessed Angelico."

Born in the Tuscany region of Italy in 1378, Blessed Angelico was also known as Giovanni da Fiesole and Guido da Vicchio.

His most famous paintings in­ clude the "Deposition from the Cross," hanging in St. Mark's Museum in Florence, and "Christ Appears to Mary Magdalene," a fresco also at St. Mark's Mu­ seum.

Fr. Lemoine A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated Tuesday at St. Joseph's Church, Attleboro, for Father Rene M. Lemoine, MS, 62, who died July in Attleboro.

A native of Southbridge, Father Lemoine was ordained May 31, 1947, following studies at LaSaIette seminaries in En­ field, N.H., and Attleboro. He served in Enfield, Montreal al)d Attleboro as a teacher, parish priest, religious superior and chaplain.

Following spinal surgery in 1971, Father Lemoine was eon­ fined to a wheelchair but con­ tinued to celebrate Mas~ daily and counsel pilgrims to La­ Salette Shrine in Attleboro.

"Despite his physical handicap, he lived his life fully with a tremendous spirit of courage and serenity," said a fellow member of the Attleboro LaSalette com­ munity.

The LaSalette miSSionary leaves a brother and! three sis­ ters: Gerard Lemoine, Yvette La­ porte, Odelide Cournoyer and Jeannette Besse, all of South­ bridge. He also leaves several nieces and nephews among whom is Father' Norman Lemoine, MS, provinciaJ superior of the La­ Salette ¥issionaries of Immacu­ late He~t of Mary province.

Interm~nt was at lLaSalette Cemetery, Enfield.

Pastoral

Continued from page one portance of individual freedom in the formation of conscience.

She also stressed that prayer was a prerequisite to any suc­ cessful approach to the pastoral.

The conference keynote speaker was Father J. Bryan He­ hir, director for international justice and peace for the U.S. Catholic Conference and princi­ pal staff aide to the committee of bishops that drafted the pas­ toral.

He warned that educators teaching about the pastoral should study it for themselves so they would ,be presenting what the bishops actually said, not impressions picked up from media reports.

Sister Hart. a former high school teacher, said she recently gave an overview of the pastoral at a boys' high school.

"I decided at the end of the day that was not the way to go," she said. "The pastoral is too dense. The whole conceptual

framework needs to be there in order for someone to under­ stand it."

She said· the boys were bored by her presentation, and by that of an intern in her office who is a graduate of the school.

In addition to being bored, Sis­ ter Hart said, many students objected to the general orienta­ tion of the pastoral, with "rhet­ oric" apparently brought from home about the dangers of be­ ing "soft on the Russians" and questions along the line of "what do the bi$hops know about this?"

Sister Halt concluded that much resistance to the pastoral arose from a narrow view of religion, and that "pre-evangeli­ zation" was needed to under­ stand it.

Though the pastoral is a diffi­ .cult doc~~e"t· in. some ways, Sister Hart said,. the educators at the conference did not talk of their responsibility to teach it as a ,burden but expressed en­ thusiasm about the opportuni­ ties it offered.

Children Need Parents

During the summer many tend to take a comp~ete vacatio'n from religious responsibilities. Those who suffer most from such indifference are the children. .

I A recent study by Rev. Paul Philbert, professor' of religion and religious education at the Catholic University j of America, reinforced the concept that a child's religipus ,1l~ tt~$jiifi.)l1_~ practice and belief in God are largely influenced by Ihis i parents. !

Research indicates that the way in which parents influence their children with regard to religion chan~es as those children grow. i In the early years children are imitators. Through imitation they make themselves part of their family and develop a 'sense of belonging. The practices of religion that are presented by hor.ne and parish are accepted simply, as a small child accepts everything, espeCially from 'his parents.

The moment of truth arrives between the agesl of 7 to 10, when children begin to question the coherence and consistency of what they are being told. Wha~ it comes down to is that what parents do is much more important than what they say.

I How many youngsters receive first communion, in ,¥, May and do not attend Mass all summer? How many Catholic gra'mmar school children do not darken the door . . •. .'". .' 11IjiiW($,'$jr·,p,l\!i··~ of a church during the entire vacation?

It is a shadow that blooms.

Petals are a mask.

With roses as such Eric seems content.

On them as they are he deems his care worthily lavished.

At times ~ think were I the Flower Father intending my. roses seriously I'd be most content with Eric as such.

We all know people who must analyze every thought, word or action. Although well-meaning, they often dissect life's more joyful moments. Everything has to have a reason that they must get to the bottom of. Life is not seen as a mystery to be lived but as a mystery to be solved.

Some people are not content with being amateur psycholo­ gists; they have to delve into a person's past with the hope of finding some clue to explain what ,every personality trait he or she may possess that appears out of tune with what is con­ sidered common.

I am often amused at how people can be so sure that they have psychoanalyzed themselves and have made discoveries that will help' them change them­ selves overnight. They often find that the clay is not always that malleable. It is often easier to r.

identify a fault or shortcoming than to overcome it.

The factor that is often over· looked is that no matter how misshapen we may have become, we can never be deemed un· worthy of the love God lavishes upon us. The danger with many of the popular self-confidence programs is that they rely too much upon the feeble efforts of people who are only human.

While it is true that everyone should try to improve him or herself, there is a danger that self-preoccupation will lead only tr. debilitating narcissism.

The longer one lives the more likely it is that one will hear the same praise or the same criticism again and again. Two extremes should be avoided like the plague. The first is to de· mand of others that they accept you just as you are. God's love may he unconditional but hu· man beings rarely achieve such heights.

The other extreme is to be too hard on oneself and expect too radical a change too quickly. A mature response to such expec· tations of self is to assure one· self that God is not yet finished with one.

Like Eric and his roses, we should trust that God will grant us the grace either to change or to accept ourselves as such.

accept the other's growth is an integral part of any relationship.

Finally, there's that impor­ tant word, commitment, which frightens so many young people today. They will live together for years but not marry because they are afraid to commit them­ selves to one another. Yet, com­ mitment is what they're really seeking.

It is commitment that defines and underlines marriage, a com­ mitment based on trust that tells one another that we behave in a way that is best for the other.

When both spouses are truly committed to this deal, the mar­ riage gets better and better.

Twenty-five or even five, years of marriage aren't easy. It takes, an incredible amount of time and effort to keep a marriage fresh and exciting, especially with the pressures on it today. But it's well worth it. We need to let our young people know that be­ cause it is what they're waiting to hear.

Walking with Jesus ,I've often wondered how the guy does it. He's the best Christian you could possi­ bly imagine. He is prayerful, devout, courteous, generous, selfless. He accepts a criticism from his boss in the same spirit he accepts a compliment. He never gets angry when his wife nags him or his kids disappoint him. He is tough on himself and easy on everybody else. He is charitable, tolerant, forgiving.

There is no self-pity in his per­ sonality. He is always cheerful.

He never complains. Okay, how does he do it?

"You have to promise that you won't write about me," he "aid. "The publicity might cause my ego to get all stretched out.

Pride is a vice. I try to cultivate humility."

"I understand," I told him.

"My lips are sealed. This is strictly between us. I wouldn't dream of uttering a word of it.

So tell me, how do you do it?"

"It soundS a little gimmickY," he said, "but what I do is, 1 im­ agine that God is literally, per­ sonally in my company at all times. When I sit down to break­ fast with the family, God is there with us. Jesus is at the table. Going to work, at work, coming home, with the wife, and kids, when I'm alone, when I'm socializing, I keep a mental pic­ ture in my mind of God present with me. 1 practice- the pres­ ence of God at all times. At least, that's what I try to do."

I never heard such a thing be­ fore, at least not from an or· dinary guy with a wife and kids and a job. I asked him how he got in the habit.

"I had been reading the New Testament for some time," the guy said, "but my life wasn't changing. I was spiritually stag­ nant. I sensed that if I didn't go forward, I would go back­ ward. I knew I had to become closer to God personally. One day I read in Luke, "If anyone wants to come with me, he must forget himself, take up his cross every day, and follow me,' This put the image in my mind of actually following Jesus around, of being personally in His pres­ ence, of befriending God, of walking with Him all the time.

I've been doing it ever since," "Could you give an example of how this works, how it bene­ fits you spiritually in a practical way?"

"Sure. This may sound trivial, but it was a big breakthrough for me. I used to curse all the time. You know how guys curse all the time in conversation.

They use the word as noun, verb, adjective. I was always doing this. It made my conversation harsh, even violent. It was af­ fecting my personality. Well,

once 1 began to practice the presence of God, I quit cursing.

I haven't used· the word since.

I've become a gentler person as a result," "I can understand that. No one is a vulgarian in front of a priest or a nun. So you certain­ ly aren't goin,g to be a vulgar­ ian if you see Jesus in the group," "Exactly. Let me give you an­ other example of how practicing the presence of God has reformed me. I was always a very impa­ tient, opinionated person. I thought 1 knew it all. 1 could never resist any opportunity to impose my attitude on others. I . liked to bully everybody with my opinions. ,But as soon as I saw Jesus beside me, a party to every conversation, 1 became much less strident and over­ bearing. 1 begsn to share ideas and opinions with others instead of browbeating them with what I thought," "I get it. If Jesus is there, you aren't going to be making any infallible statements, because you know he is the real author­ ity, not you," "Right. The presence of God promotes humility in the human spirit. Being right isn't so im­ portant. God is in charge, not you. I can just relax and be hu­ man, and let God handle the heavy stuff," "And I suppose you don't lose your temper with col­ leagues at the office, or with the family at home, because you don't want to make an ugly' scene in front of Jesus," "Exactly. When God is with me, I find that 1 have a calming effect on others. 1 don't upset people the way I did for years.

I'm a peacemaker for a change.

My companion Jesus is making s good man out of me,"

Frank Adams is more or less retired from ,the Attleboro Sun Chronicle, where he began work­ ing in 1937 - if you can equate retirement with. being out until 3 a.m. taking pictures of a fire.

That's what he'd been doing a few hours prior to a recent inter­ view.

Adams' newspaper career, whi~h lias included reporting, newsroom engraving and a stint in classified advertisIng in addi­

tion to photography, almost ended soon after it began, he re­ lates. Covering what at the time he did not realize was the his­ toric 1938 hurricane, he just missed being sliced in two by a plate glass window flying across an Attleboro street.

"If I'd been a step ahead of where I was, I wouldn't be here," he said.

The incident didn't stop him.

"I went 90 hours· and never touched the bed," he noted lacon­ ically.

Later a booklet of his hurri­ cane photos became a local best seller.

Nowadays he's also more or less retired' from Cub and Boy Scout activity - unless you in­ sist on counting membership on the district Scout committee and

coordination of troop and pack activities in his hometown of Norton. .

It's true Adams is home more than he used to be - but home has a darkroom where Sun Chronicle photos are often pro­ cessed. It also has a seldom· silent police and fire scanner,

alerting Adams to news in the making.

The snug little house is shared

by Mrs. Adams, a computer whiz employed by the Attleboro school department. She's cur­ rently preparing a teachers' handbook designed to ease edu­ cators into the world of bits and bytes.

Also in the family are a son, a chef at Brown University, and a daughter, a civil engineer in Boston.

Why do we relate all this?

Because, time after time during

his busy career, Adams has

taken pictures for The Anchor,

most frequently of Catholic

Scouting events, often .of the

Knights of Columbus and of acti­

vities at St. Mark's parish, Attle­

boro Falls, and St. Joseph's, Attleboro.

In the course of this volun­ teer activity he's met and be­ come friendly with the late Car­ dinal Richard Cushing, with Car­ dinal Humberto Medeiros and with Bishops James L. Connolly and Daniel A. Cronin.

In recognition of his outstand­ ing service to Catholic Scouting, including membership on Ad AI­ tare Dei award boards, he's been presented the Pelican and St. George awards.

After noting all the above,

one asks the obvious: Which par­

ish is lucky enough to number

Adams among its members?

None. He's a Methoc;list and a 33rd degree Mason. .

"If you believe in God, that's what's important" is the simple comment of this true ecumenist.

Elderly' offered dental care Recognition of the often un­ met dental needs of elderly nurs­ ing home residents has led to establishment of a satenIite den­ 'tal clinic of Tufts University at Sacred Heart Home, New Bed­ ford.

Dedicated at ceremonies June 28, the facility serve resi­ dents at Sacred Heart and 17 other long term facilities in greater New Bedford.

will

Speakers at the opening of the clinic were Sister Beatrice Du­ chesne, SCQ, Sacred Heart ad­ ministrator; Msgr. Luiz G. Men­ donca, vicar-general, represent­ ing Bishop Daniel A. Cronin; Dr. Erling Johansen, dean of Tufts University School of Den­ tal Medicine; Dr. Athena Papas, director of geriatric dentistry at the school; and Richard Fon­ taine of the board of directors of Sacred Heart Home.

Organization of the clinic was sparked last September at a seminar on geriatric dental health presented by Tufts per­ sonnel for New Bedford area nursing home personnel.

Seminar participants stressed that attention ,to the oral health of the elderly can improve qual­ ity of life and physical well be­ ing. Awareness of unmet needs of this sector of the population has increased with life expect­ ancy, it was noted, and it has also been realized that elder citizens have not in general benefited from nutritional and plaque control information avail­ able in schools and at dental offices.

In fact, it was stated, the amount of dental care sought decreases with age. A recent study shpwed that whereas 52 percent qf patients in the 18 to 34 age ~racket seek dental at­ tention, qnly 26 percent of those aged 65 and older do so.

Reasons for the drop include decreased perception of needs with advancing age; lack of mobility; and reluctance of den­ tists to accept geriatric patients' due to lack of training in this area.

The New Bedford clinic aims to offer low-cost quality care; to increase awareness of' dental needs among the elderly; and to develop techniques for teaching

elderly patients dental nutrition, plaque control and self-exam­ ination of oral soft tissues.

The clinic, expected to become self-sustaining, with all opera­ tional responsibilities assumed by the Tufts School of Dental Medicine, plans to offer restora­ tive dentistry, i,nstruction in oral hygiene, periodonty, dentures. denture repair and emergency treatments.

Black priest unhanned.

PRETORIA, South Africa (NC) - In a move that surprised Catholic officials, the South Af­ rican government has not re­ newed the banning of Father Smangaliso Patrick Mkhatshwa, general secretary of the South­ ern Africa Catholic Bishops Conference.

The SACBC official was one of about 100 people unbaimed when South Africa's new Inter­ nal Security Act took effect July 1. He had been banned, a form of house arrest, since 1977.

SACBC's public relations of­ ficein Pretoria called the unban­ ning of Father Mkhatshwa "a 'major breakthrough for the (bishops') conference." .

The priest is the first black general secretary of the SACBC. His appointment in 1981, despite government restrictions on his movements, freedom of speech and freedom to meet with peo­ ple, was explicitly made as a symbol of Catholic Church sup­ port of black rights in opposition to the white minority govern­ ment policy of apartheid, strict racial segregation.

In August 1976 Father Mkhat­ shwa was arrested and detained until the end of the year for al­ ledgedly disturbing public order.

In 1977 he was named SACBC acting general secretary after the general secretary, a white

priest, had been arrested. He was then placed under a five· year banning order.

In 1982, before his first ban expired, he was served anew, three-year banning order.

The terms of the new Internal Security Act required that exist· ing bans be renewed in order to remain in effect when the new act went into effect July 1.

Under banning, a person must be at home from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m., may not travel without special permission from a magis­ trate, may not speak in public or be quoted in print, may not at­ tend any meetings or meet with more than one person at a time.

In 1979 Father Mkhatshwa told NC News that he had never been informed of specific reasons for his banning but said that he was not bitter about it.

He attributed the South Afri­ can Catholic Church's far more activist approach toward the government from 1977 on to black riots in the township of Soweto the previous year. Pre­ viously, he said, the church was fairly enlightened on the social issues involved but bland in dealing with them.

The bishops' conference has consistently supported Father Mkhatshwa and fought his ban­ ning order.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fridoy, July 15, 1983

uestion corner

By Father John Dietzen Q. Since Vatican Councll II we hear reference to the "people of God" and talk about the Christian churches.

Does this refer to the various Christian denominations? And If it does, does It mean that we now believe "one religious de­ nomination is as good as an­ other?"

The Book of Revelation refers to the seven churches in Asia.

Would this be considered the same as the present-day par­ ishes or dioceses? Or is It in reference to the inclusion of Baptist, Presbyterian and other Christian churches?

(North Carolina) A. You're really asking three questions. First, in Vatican Council II and many times since then, documents of our church refer to other Christian denom­ inations as "churches." By this is meant that they are, as is obvious, members of the family of believers in Jesus Christ and true Christian communities.

The second is too complica­ ted to discuss in detail again in this column. Very briefly, all Christian churches agree on many major areas of belief about Jesus, God and his church on earth. Individual Christians must follow their consciences as. they understand what God asks them in their relationship to him.

However, it is overly simple to jump to the conclusion that "one demnomination is as good as another," since many denom­ inations differ significantly in major points of doctrine.

Catholics, for example, along with Anglicans and most Luther­ ans at least, believe in the real presence of Jesus in the Euchar­ ist. Othet Christians may not believe this and we presume they are following the light of their own conscience in rejecting that belief.

However, it would be foolish and thoroughly irrational to hold that it really doesn't make any difference whether one believes it or not, or whether it is true or not. If Jesus is not present in the Eucharist, as we believe, we are (even though in good faith) believing that what is only bread is really God. On the other hand, if Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist and there to' be offered and reo ceived as the great sign and of the unity of his people on earth, then those who reject that be­ lief (again, even though in good faith) are missing one of the most beautiful elements of our Christian life on earth.

While there is only one God and one Lord, we need to take care that tolerance and accep­ tanse of others, particularly Christialls, regardless of our differenc~ of beliefs, does not turn into a position that "it doesn't make any difference what Y01J believe as long as you believe ~omething." If God and religion I)ave any rational mean­ ing at all, that is total nonsense.

Vacation time for,pope too

Finally the churches in the Book of Revelation, which was written centuries before Protes­ tant denominations began as we know them, did refer, as you suggest, to the I<;>cal churches, akin to our present-day dioceses or parishes.

In fact, by the time Revela­ tion was written, most local JOHN LEARY, a founder churches were apparently al­ of Pax Christi Center on ready under the responsibility of an "episkopos," (overseer) as Conscience and War, Cam­ our dioceses are under the re­ bridge, is memorialized in sponsibility of a bishop.

RCIA course goes national BALTIMORE (NC) The first nationally-aimed class in the Rite of Christian Initiation for 'Adults has brought 21 peo­ ple from 19 dioceses to a six­ week course at St. Mary's Sem­ inary in Roland Park, a .Baltimore suburb.

The group consists of two priests, nine laypeople, and 10 sisters. Members range in age from 20 to 60.

The course is directed to adult catechism leaders who will guide other adults wishing to become Catholics.

RCIA offers adult converts spiritual preparation and practi· cal preparation for entering the church. "Christian initiation" consists of adult baptism, con­ firmation and reception of the Eucharist.

Pat Barbernitz, who has a masters degree in theology and over 12 years catechetical ex­ perience, directs the RCIA pro­ gram.

Recent generations of Chris· tians, she said, have not bap· tized their children automatic­ ally shortly after birth as in the past. Today, therefore more un­ baptized adults wish to enter' the church.

Ms. Barbernitz' sessions teach adult leaders to help unbaptized and other converts as they enter Catholicism. Most will return to their home dioceses as catechu­ menate directors.

Further information on RCIIA: is available from the Paulist Na­ tional Catholic Evangelization Association, 3031 Fourth St. NS, Washington, D.C., 20017, tel. (202) 832-5022.

Zahn relates that Leary, a native of Vernon, Conn., be­ came a "dedicated witness to peace and the nonviolent struggle for social justice" as a Harvard student.

After graduating magna cum laude in 1981, he dedi­ cated himself to the work of Pax Christi; to Haley House, a Boston Catholic Worker shelter; and to Ailanthus, a prayer and protest com-, munity. ' He died last August of cardiac arrest while jogging.

His wake, funeral and a fol­ lowing month's mind Mass attracted the attendance of throngs of widely diverse people, all of whom testified to his extraordinary influ­ ence on them.

Leary's spirituality, writes , Zahn, was based on aban­ donment to the will of God and on constant repetition of the Eastern Jesus prayer, "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me, a sinner."

Many photographs of Leary as well as memorial poems by close friends John Botean and Daniel Berrigan, SJ, are included in the book­ let. Both poems are based on the Jesus prayer.

On dean's list

Zahn said he hopes the booklet "will inspire one young person enough to ac­ cept the challenge he left and reach for a match to light his or her own. If so, it will have served its pur­ pose."

Named to the current dean's list at Salve ReginalNewport College are Filomena Botelho, Attleboro; Marcia Mazzoleni, East Tauton; Lisa Souza, Swan­ sea; and Carolyn Perry, New Bedford.

"A Different Sort of Hero" is available from Pax Christi at PO Box 726, Cambridge 02139. Donations to one of two John Leary Memorial Funds are acceptable.

By Michael Gallagher NEW YORK (NC) - "The Church of the Russians," to be broadcast on NBC Sundays, July 17 and 24, from 1 to 2 p.m., gives an extensive and percep­ tive look at the Russian Orthodox Church. With extensive concen­ tration on the rich Orthodox liturgy, it includes spectacularly beautiful sequences.

In part one, the narrator, Presbyterian minister Rev. Bruce Rigdon, an authority on the Russian Orthodox Church, takes us to Moscow, Kiev, Odessa and the holy city of Zagorsk for a look at how thi's 50-million-mem­ ber church is flourishing in a land officially hostile to it.

In the second part, a Soviet government' spokesman acknow­ ledges wryly that religion is thriving in Russia despite 65 years of antireligious propa­ ganda.

When Mr. Rigdon presses him for an explanation, the spokes­ man thrusts aside metaphysics and all its perils with a tauto­ logical comment, "Belief exists because they are believers."

Then, traveling to Moscow, Odessa, Leningrad and a church in the village of Lisi Nos, Mr. Rigdon probes 'more deeply into the church and the lives of be­ lievers.

He interviews his interpreter on how she feels about belonging to a church in which women have considerably less promin­ ence than in most Western churches. Her answers are likely to set feminist teeth on edge.

The overwhelming impression given by "The Church of the Russians" is that the church that nourished Holy Mother Russia before 'the Revolution does so still.

Two things come across strongly: the first is the pro­ found historical and cultural conditioning underlying the in­ tensely national character of the church and facilitating its rap­ prochement with the regime.

The second, something that Roman Catbolics could well take to heart, is the power of liturgy.

The Soviet regime had probably hoped to see church influence wither when confined to what may have seemed the purely ornamental' and innocuous "churchy" function of Hturgy:.

Liturgy, however, is a power­ ful means of developing the whole person. Thus, in crowded .churches, we see shot after shot of rapt older people and of children with faces suffused with awe and wonder. When was the last time you saw a child's face suffused with awe and wonder at an ad lib-sprinkled guitar Mass?

"The Church of the Russians" is a must-see for everyone seri­ ous about the role of Christian­ ity in the crisis of s~perpower confrontation that ha$ become our way of life. Written and pro, duced by Helen Marmor in co­ operation with the National Council of Churches, it treats a vast and complex subject with com­ extraordinary beauty, passion and insight.

On July 5 came the court's decision upholding the practice of paying chaplains to open ses­ sions of state legislatures and Congress with prayers.

Ruling in a case from Nebras­ ka, Chief Justice Warren E. Bur­ ger said the nation's founding fathers could not have intended the practice to be unconstitu­ tional because opening legisla­ tive sessions with prayer was a common practice at the time the First Amendment's separation of church and state was added to the Constitution.

A bigger church-state contro­ versy, again addressed by Bur­ ger in an 8-1 decision, centered on IRS denial of ,tax exemptions to two raciaI.ly' discriminatory evangelical Christian schools.

Burger's majority opinion up­ held denial of the tax break be­ calise, he said, eradication of racial discrimination in educa­ tion is such an important aspect of current public policy that it would be "wholly incompatible" with the purposes of tax exemp­ tion ,to grant it to schools that racially di~criminate.

While some religious ~eaders praised the decision, others had reservations; Among them was Cardinal Joseph L. Bernardin of Chicago, who, while lauding the immedi­ . ate effect of the decision, said that it could lead to government coercion dn forcing religious groups to comply with an im­ moral public policy. lBurger also wrote the majority opinion in the Massachusetts case on church vetoes of Hquor licenses, which ,the court struck down on another 8-1 vote. He said the veto was unconstitu­ tional be~ause .it gives churches "unilater4l1 and absolu,te power" over an, important government function.

In other 1982 action the high court: -Declined to review the case on student prayer meetings, which had arisen after the Lub­ bock, Texas, public school dis­ trict adopted a policy permit­ ting such meetings on the same basis as other after-school gath­ erings. A federal district judge initially ruled the meetings con­ stitutional, but a federal appeals court reversed the decision, prompting the school district's

appeal to the Supreme Court. ~Upheld the lobbying privi­ qeges of tax-exempt veterans' organizations even though Con­ gress has denied such privileges to other tax-exempt groups, in­ cluding churches. ~Struck down a federal law prohibiting mailing of unsolicited advertisements for contracep­ tives. The court said l\)he law unconstitutionally infringed on the free "commercia,1 speech" rights of manufacturers.

Three sisters mark jubilees Three Daughters of the Holy Spirit, also known as White Sisters, who have served in the Fall River diocese were among 24 members of their community celebrating jubilees at recent ceremonies in Putnam, Conn. ' Marking 65 years in religious life was Sister Emma Garceau, who was stationed at the former Bishop Stang Nursery in Fall River from 1918 to 1948. Now

retired, she lives at St. Joseph Villa in Putnam.

Also at St. Joseph Villa is Sis­ ter Marcelle Pratte, a 60-year jubilarian who was in Fall River from 1931 to 1953.

In Fall River from 1936 to 1937 was golden jubilarian Sister Frances Bouharoun, who now serves the Maronite community in Waterbury, Conn.

Martha Gutierrez, festival chairman, left, presents trophies to her and Sandra Gilros, runner-up. . even know he's saying it," says Storm.. Now the messenger knows what he says and knows it is not good for business.

If a messenger shows aptitude, Storm promotes him to dispatch­ er, a job which reqUires consider­ able talent coordinating activity and keeping records. while hand­ ling the telephone.

However, accidents will hap­ .pen in the best-run establish­ ments.

"When a messenger has lost something, the customer is upset, very upset, and i have to listen and hopefully find an" answer and gl!t that package to them," says dispatcher Terrance.

A Bostonian, Terrance arrived at New York's Pennsylvania . Station alone at age 18 and realized he was "very lost." Be­ fore learning about Co:venant House, he worked at a fast food outlet and discovered that type of work was for youngsters who need only personal expense money~ not for someone support­ ing himself.

Dove not only acquainted him with New York geographically, but g~lve him a look inside the . doors of many big companies.

Now he is better able to assess job pdssibilities and where he might fit in. .Dove is not a permanent job.

Messengers normally work about four months, using the time. preparing to cope with work requirements' elsewhere and with life in the city. Practi­ cal guidance is given in five seminars - meal planning and prepaI'atnon, budgeting, avoid­ ing drug and alcohol abuse, housin,g and grooming.

As in the regular job market, messengers work under a signed contract and know Storm will fire them if they do not meet standslrds. Storm says 75 percent last tlle four months and get a job rE!commendation from him.

Clients include Merrill Lynch, McGrnw-Hill, Peter Grace and the NE!W York archdiocese; Walter, an orphan who went

through a string of foster homes, then lived on the street before finding Covenant House, became a Dove messenger, then dis­ patcher, and now works for the New York office of the First Chicago International Banking Corp.

At age 21, he describes a satis­ fying life of working and looking to the future. He plans to take evening classes in banking and to get married.

A native of Ohio, Storm, now 40, takes personal interest in his messengers because his story is similar to theirs.

"1 ran away at 17 to join the miltary," he says. "It was the usual case of a brutal alcoholic father. After that, I came to Ne~ York and spent a period living on the street and shining shoes or doing whatever I could find."

However, he also took col­ lege •courses, got into social work and later joined Covenant HOiJ~e.

Equal pay

By Cecilia Belanger A mother was telling me about her two sons and a quarrel they had with her and each other.

Each was supposed to mow half the lawn. Jack mowed not quite half then ran off to play base­ ball.

Jim came along and found he had more than half to do. He finished the job, expecting to . get paid more than his brother.

But come time for the pay-off both boys got the same amount of money.

You can imagine the donny­ brook. The point is, human na­ ture doesn't change.

Jesus' parable, of CClurse, was not told as a guide to business dealings nor as a standard for fair empl.oyment practices.

Rather it was told to drive home the point that God's judgments are different from the world's that he is aware of factors which

cannot always be seen by hu­ man eyes and that men and wo­ men can properly and safely leave the matter of compensa­ tion to him.

A fellow working his way through college told me he is tired of those who envy class­ mates who have everything handed to them. "I'm working," he says. "I don't env.y anyone. I don't mind pushing my way through. I'm going to appreciate it more. My parents help me all they can and I can't go around blaming them because they're not rich."

This young fellow doesn't spend his foolishly and he doesn't go around complaining that the world owes him a liv­ ing or at least an education.

In his words, "If you want one, you can get one. There. is night school and there are a lot of people out there wililng to help if you care to give up a few things and buckle down."

The world does not admire complainers, since most of the world has to struggle to put bread on the table. Since God reserves the right to hand out the wages at the end of the day I think tqat young people like my friend will get their share for their efforts.
