American Social and Charitable Zeal Exemplary in Continuous Growth of Universal Church WASHINGTON (N C) - Commitment to spiritual and social welfare on the national and international levels marked the work of the U.S. Catholic Church in the past year. Annual reports of departments and bureaus of the National Catholic Welfare Conference sent to all the U.S. Bishops show that the concerns of U.S. Catholics covered . such matters as internation. al relief, aid to education, the Second Vatican Council, increased study and practice of the Church's spcial doctrines, assistance to Latin America, refugee aid and foreign mission work.

The NCWC is the voluntary agency through which the U. S. Bishops deal with matters of common interest on a na tional level.

The activities of its departments and bureaus were outlined in their annual reports.

Archbishop Patrick A. O'Boyle of Washington, chairman of the NCWC Administrative Board, noted in his report to the Bishops that an NCWC office was established in Rome to provide services for U. S. prelates attending the Second Vatican Council.

Highlights of the other reports of the various department's and buxeaus include the following: Catholic Relief Services-National Catholic Welfare ConferContinued to Page Eight

Praises of Pope Bring Cheers In Parliament

Prayers for Pope Moves Mountains Agostino Cardinal Bea, S.J..

President of the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, asked prayers for the Pope with faith "which moves mountains."

Speaking of the anxiety felt all over the world for the Pope'. condition, the Cardinal said: "It is a question of seeinl whether we are really capable of the faith which moves moun_ tains and of taking completely seriously the words of Jesus: 'All things 'whatever you ask: for in prayer, believing, yo. sh~ll receive.'"

Cardinal Bea recalled Christ'. words that "all things are possible to him who believes" and went on to· say that the Pope has been the first one to give the good example of faith.

He said: "In the same way the Council was a great act of faith for him, so he now without doubt looks upon his recent ill_ ness with unshakeable faith and trust in God, though al waYIi with due abandonment to the hands of God." Cardinal Bea concluded his statement wJth the words: "May the Lord preserve for a long time his life which is precio~ for the entire Church and indeed for all of humanity."

However, Pope John in a Christmas day visit to th~ children at Bambino Jesu (Infant Jesus) Hospital in Rome, told the boys and girls that his health was fine-although he was not yet ready to "run a race." He said, " . . • the Pope has had some disturbance.

Stresses 'Need for Attack On Challenge of Hunger WASHINGTON (NC) - Every year the population of the world rises by 48 million, a figure larger than t~e total population of France. The world popul~tio~ tod.ay IS about three billion. By 'the end of the century It wIll be six billion. For every miJlion people added to the much of the scare talk about the world "population explosion" world's population, food sup- that has bombarded Washing-' plies must be increased, by ton in recent years.

13 million tons of cereals and 14 million tons of animal products.

Latin America, the Far East, the Near East' and Africa have together three-fifths of the world's population but dispose of only one-third of the world's agricultural output.

These and other figures are the statistics of hunger. They are also in the title of an instructive new book by a French priest, "The Challenge of Hunger" (Newman, $3.95).

Practical Approach This study by Father Noel Drogat, S.J., longtime specialist in agricultural questions and the needs of underdeveloped nations, is a helpful antidote to

Without ignoring the problem, he takes a practical approach to the challenge of providing, for the food needs of an expanding world population. Father Drogat sums up 'his thesis in one key sentence: "It appears that the true problem which faces men today is less one of over-population of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization: "In principle, the farmers of the world would be able to produce enough food to conquer hunger. They ~ill· have, to modernize their equipment and methods, particularly in the underdeveloped regions; but this requires that modern science be put at the disposal of all nations, and not only, as it is today; , at the disposal of the more' prosperous of them."

• Arsenal of Weapons Father Drogat insists that the ST. PAUL (NC) - The only war on hunger must make use of way Christ can be brought into a varied 'arsenal of weapons: the "busy secular world" is education, improved farming through the Catholic layman" a techniques and seed strains, land reclamation and so on.

The W 0 r 1d wid e relief agency of U.S. Catholics set a record in both tonnage and value of its relief shipments

advertisements mailed them by ill New York pUblisher are obilCene.

The publisher's activities, diIleCt mail advertisements for a book, a magazine and a biweekly lll;ewspaper, have prompted more ~mplaints to the department Chan ever received against a single publisher in recent his~ry.

Neither postal officials nor lIPokesmen for the Justice DeIP3rtment would confirm that i!egal action is planned against ate publisher, but it is known that evidence for presentation iIo a gl'and jury is being gathered IilIl Philadelphia.

James F. Kelleher, special as"stant to Postmaster General J. Edward Day, would confirm, Ibowever, that letters of objection tID the unsolicited advertisements IIave come from parents, univer. . professors, ministers, teen1gers, servicemen and otheNl. Proceed Cautiously Nearly 200 of the complaints ~re passed on to the Post Office Department by memberl3 of Congress who received them from constituents. Most, how_er, were relayed by local postmasters, many of whom had lleen visited by irate parents.

In a single day one week, Kelleher said, more than 900 protests were received. . Prosecutions on charges of ob~nity were initiated early in Ids administration by Postmaster Ceneral Day, replacing the tradltoinal method of using administrative action within the department, such as denial of delivery.

But it is known prosecutors 8lle extremely careful in selecting their .cases and preparing _idence because of the v'ariety ClIf opinions among courts on 'lllhat constitutes "obscenity" and !low far the government can go CD protect citizens.

Plans Using New Vernacular Rules PHILADELPHIA (NC)-Arch. . .hop John 1. Krol of PhUadel_Ia told a press conference here Chat his arehdiocese will take IlIU advantage of new norms on ~ vernacular In the liturgy.

Use of the native language in tit least portions of the Mass is tl'irtually certain, said the Arch. bishop who was one of the five andersecretaries of the Council "Such sections as the Gloria, Ilpistle, Gospel and Creed," he Illid, "will almost certainly be Included."

Unifying Principle The prelate said of his own See that "we shall have portions of the Mass in the vernacular as soon as we can get approval and as much in the vernacular as is permitted."

He said exact changes agreed upon at the Second Vatican eouncil cannot be revealed yet, but he added: "Latin as a unifying principle will be retained, at least in the pr'incipal parts of the Mass, but the principle of unity does not mean complete uniformity."

Church Attendance Trebles in Parish SANTIAGO (NC)-Before the missioners came to St. Albert's parish here there was no worry 011 overcrowding its small chapel --only one per cent of the 70,000 . parishioners came to Sunday JIlIass.

Father Charles M. Magsam., III.M., assigned to St. Albert's, IlaYs that "four years ago, the Clid chapel here held 125 people."

So we have been lagm g this past hour through a most sumptuous volume, Ihe Baroque Alta'rs of Rome, presented to other with a splendid disregard the Bishops of the Council of the rules laid down by the through the courtesy of the upbending Vitruvius, .t h I' e w President of the Bank of marble .drapery, balcon.les, ~nd Rome

Edited by three of the

phasis as a result of the Second Vatican Council, Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan of Atlanta said here.

The Archbishop, member of the Council's Liturgical Commission, said the renewal of vision means "a new look at ourselves and the Church we know and love so well."

"The \':nrship of God remains man's highest duty," he stated, "but its manner and its language must be re-examined and reassessed."

The renewal of "our approach to others," the Archbishop COD-' tinued, concerns the following question: "What do Christians of other faiths see when they look at the Catholic Church?"

"If they see only a pile of restrictions and regulations," be said, "we may unconsciously be hiding the deep personal and social commitment of eve;ry Catholic to his God." 'Healthy Confidence' HDo Protestants' sometirnee see in Catholicism a foreiga cult, s'O met h i n g alien and strange? If so, perhaps we have failed to stress the essence of M all - the W prd of God in the Bible, the grace of Christ the Son of God in the Mass and Sacraments, the power of the Holy Spirit living in us throup Baptism."

The renew.3l of Christian hope, Archbishop Hallinan stated, concerns that "optimism and healthy confidence supremely evident in Pope John" Such renewal, he added, is "evidentwe hope in the returning bishops."

The Archbishop said that _ a result of the Council perha..two steps have been takea toward Christian unity: "a step of better understanding and • step of mutual courtesy and charity."

GUIDANCE COUNSELORS MEET: Discussing the role of counselors at a Catholic educators meeting at Boston College are left to right: Daniel Delaney, Guidance Director at Bishop Stang High School; Brother Thomas Gallagher, C.S:C., principal of Coyle High; and James McIntyre, assistant director of admissions at Boston College.

Seminary Rector Lauds U.S. Hierarchy MONTEZUMA (NC) - The generosity of the U.S. Hierarchy was cited as the principal support which enabled the Montezuma Seminary here in New Mexico to observe its 25th anniversary this year.

In the wake of perllecutions of the Church in Mexico, the seminary was established here in 1935 to train seminarians for the Mexican priesthood.

Father Pablo Lopez de Lara.

S.J., seminary rector, in his an-

nual report stated: "Besides God's proVidence that hall been more than manifest in the foundation and support of our semInary, everyone confesses the incomparable and liberal contribution of the American Hierarchy, without which Montezuma Seminary could not possibly subsist.

Give $3 'Million "Almost three million dollal'S have been afforded by the A mer i can Hierarchy in 25

years," he noted. Only this year the allotment has been $125,000, plus $136,000 for the comprehensive repair work that is being done on a four-year plan."

The report said 114 new students were enrolled in the 196162 year, bringing the total student body to 417. During its 25 years, the seminary has trained 2,124 students. Its priest-alumni number 1,200 diocesan priests and members of 10 religioua communities.

FORT RICHARDSON (NC) -Francis Cardinal Spellman told U.S. servicemen stationed at this Alaska base that he and they share the same aimpeace.

"Your intentions are the same as mine," the Archbishop of New York said, "peace, peace throughout the world. We are striving together tc save our country's life. You are the people who are guarding the roof of the Americas, the top of the world."

The Cardinal, who is Military Vicar of the U.S. armed forces, recalled the many times he has visited Alaska since his first trip in 1942, soon after the ,Japanese attack on Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian, Islands.

"I feel as much at home in this Fort Richardson Chapel as ~ would in one of the churches In my home parish," he com• mented.

The Cardinal said a small sign he saw in the chapel while he was walking to the altar to cel. ebrate Mass summed up many of the things he felt about the soldier. The sign is a reminder to the men of the Army that their duties are twofold: They must maintain the nation's moral strength as they maintain its military strength.

"The combination," said Card. inal Spellman, "is unbeatable.

As a proud American citizen, I p~y my respects to you, my trIbute to you for keeping these goals together, and high."

Happy New Year

-.

'People are looking forward to a happy new year. It would be fascinating to conduct a sidewalk poll and find out what they mean by that.

Some are thinking simply of the day itself-or, more, precisely, the night, and the festivities, often of a liquid nature, that this implies. For these, happy really means pleasurable and noisy. ' Some think of the day itself-the first day of a new year-and find a sense of relief in writing a fresh new date on a letter or in a diary. This is the promise of new life-the enthusiasm that comes with a new beginning.

For them,happy means new.

Others take a somewhat more mystical approach-the belief that because one day has passed and a new day eomes and this new day happens to introduce a new year, why, then, things will be different, will be, by the strange alchemy of a new date, better. For these, happy means hopeful. ' Actually, the first day of January will be very much like the last day of December. People do not change with the passage of time-- they age, they become more confirmed in their foibles and mannerisms, but any change for the better is the result not of time but of determination, of personal involvemen't, of setting the will to· do a task heretofore left undone.

A happy new year will be the result of cooperation between the eve,r-present grace of God and the good will of the individual.

Bishops Boost Requests For Volunteers The number of requesu; for Papal Volunteers has doubled since the first Volunteers arrived in Latin

Year of Grace Until the end of time, the year of nineteen hundred and sixty-two will go done in history-both secular and sacred -as the year of the opening of the Second Vatican Council.

The effects of the Council will-in the Providence of God and by the prayerful work of :men-affect that history.

As the Council was prepared for with prayer and penance, so these must be the elements that accompany it into the new year. Some work has been done-much more remains to be accomplished. Much is promised, many hopes are raised.

Cathoiics and their non-Catholic brothers must continue to pray that the work of the Council will listen to t~e whisperings of the Holy Spirit. And the new year will be, when the Council reconvenes, truly a new year of grace.

Afraid To Be Different Youth is an age usually associated with daring and adventure and'the willingness to explore new territory.

The opposite is more' often the case, if surveys and observation 'are to be trusted. It has been noticed that on the high school scene the ideal of the young man seems 80 often to be accepted by his peers and so he tries to eonform to the most acceptable pattern...-to be an athlete, . to go along with the "ruling clique," to dress and act like all the others. And the "odd ball" is the one who break's outside that pattern.

That happens often enough to be disturbing-and the pattern is broken often enough to be encouraging.' But more young. people. must see for themselves that, as the director of the Youth Department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference expressed it: "The future of America depends on youths who believe enough to care and c~re enough to be different."

Young people are afraid to be different. They are too often guided by what others do than by principles. They are many times moved to action more by the_ words and examples of others than by any inner conviction of, right and wrong. They lack conviction, the sureness that they , know what is right and the courage that is neeged to follow their principles.

Young people, then, must be encouraged to break the pattern of blind conformity. They must be urged to know what they believe and follow what they know. They should be praised for developing their individual personalities, even if-and especially when-this causes them to break with the crowd, to be different.

Very little greatness-in things or in people-comes from being one of the crowd, one with the rESt. Greatness eomes in being different, not for difference's sake but to develop one's full potential.

By- REV. ROBERT W. HOVDA, Catholic University TODAY - St. John, Apostle, Evangelist, "This is the disciple who bears witness ..." (G9spel).

Not only is God's saving activity appropriate to and consonant with human nature, but the message and the story of that activity must be the same. Sometime we speak of the Mystery of His saving work a:[l if human channels were irrelevant. "In the gathering of the Church, the Lord opened his mouth" (Entrance Hymn). Always it is human language, whether of love, ·of words or of other signs, which brings the good news to us.

TOMORROW-Holy Innocents, Martyrs. Today it is the language 'of ignorant as well as innocent blood which tells us that salvation is God's gift. Jt tells us that His love is so strong that it overcomes every barrier imagin:lble (except our impene:trable exclusion of it by deliberate and serious sin). So God fashions praise even oUt of mouths which know not what they say· (Entrance Hymn).

SATURDAY - Mass as on Christmas. The morning Mass third-of Christmas, with First Reading and Gospel from the dawn Mass--Second). "To us" the child is born and "to us" the Son is given (Entrance Hymn).

And the "us" is mankind, men of East and West, of North and South.

So Christians in their public worship must be conscious that the Church includes in her desire all men, that the parish community at worship has the task of representing the whole human community from which her 'members come. Our liturgy is no secret rite of a self-styled elite, but common, ever so common prayer.

SUNDAY WITWN mE OCTAVE OF CHRISTMAS. The Word of God was made flesh in Israel and through Israel. No rejection of His universal mission is 'mplied when we say this. The universality of Jesus' lordship' is incontestably. affirmed in His own teaching and in the teaching of the Church of the apostles.

of Israel's messianic hopes, as God's answer to Israel's prayer.

"And the grace of God was upon him" (Gospel) - the grace of God, no new thing in Israel's experience, but newly and uniquely present in this Man whose fellowship we know now in the Church and whose Sacrificial Meal we celebrate.

MONDAY-Mass as on Christmas. Third, with First Reading and Gospel of Second Mass). If we know and celebrate Him now in this congregation of disciples, if real intimacy is possible, it is because He came and shared our life. In sharing the life of Jewish man He shared the life of every man. Hence the hope of us all, whether our human ancestry 18 Jewish or pagan, yellow or black or pink: "We ask, a.!mighty God, that the coming of Your only Son as a ,human child may free those who labor under the long slavery of sin" (Opening Prayer, ''The Layman's Missal").

TUESDAY - Octave Day of Christmas. Circumcised a Jew and a child of Abraham (Gospel) after His birth of a Jewish virgin, Mary (Opening Prayer and Postcommunion Prayer), Jesus' total identification with the human race is the messag'e of the instruction we hear first today. ''The grace of God our Saviour has appeared to all men ..."

(First Reading). How utterly human i~ God's method of saving man! So the Christian is not surprised that that same saving work is made present now sac~ mentally-by means of equaIiy human'words, signs, gestures.

WEDNESDAY - The' Holy Name of Jesus. We name cats and dogs in fun or in affectionate imitation of our human ways.

But the name of a man or woman is closely identified with his or her person. The most grievoUB wound we can suffer is the dishonoring of our "name"..

The name of God was so sacred to our 'Jewish ancestors that it could not be uttered. Today's Mass celebrates the :fact that, for the Christian, salvation is not a thing nor an exercise nor an accomplishment .but a Person, the individual man, Jesus, in whose coming we rejoice.

Ballet BOMBAY (NC) - An Indian ballet on the Holy Eucharist has been planned for staging at the 38th International Eucharistic Congress here next Winter.

America., This increase in ~ peals has resulted from the wonderful work . that the Volunteers have been doing.

They are a friend~ gifted people that want nothing more than to progress in the things of the body and soul.

"I am particularly pleased with their work among the youth, since that was my p~ mary project for them, and thesr are filling the bill beyond aD expectations" reports the director Father Garrity M,M.

West Harwich Visitors Urge Instruction for All Children

They provide catechetical instruction for the children, of course--and instruction classes for the teachers -and classes for interested adults - and· discussion groups for advanced, guided, study.Religion foli' Children All of these are supplemented by reading:::-.. everything from pamphlets setting out the ABCs of being a Catholic, through material that starts yo\;. along the paths of history and liturgy, to books that give you a greater understanding and love--books that disclose all the grandeur, excitement, glory, profundity, and respunsibility of Catholic life. Books that start you thinking.

Of course the danger is that

olli:e you begin reading ·YOU find that it is not a chore--not an as· signed mortification-not something for theology professorsyou find it is fun!

Getting back to the open house in West Harwich-the displays and explanations, the obvious dedication and purpose of the teaching program, made a deep impression on several of the visitors, and these had no hesitancy in saying that they firmly believed all children should have at least one hour of religious instruction as a part of each school day, They realized the frightening and desperate need for moral values-for an immediate return to the fUl1damentals of existence imposed and required by God.

Let us hope that, somehow, their belief will become.practice.

With every flbre of our being let us help to bring this mbout.

Pray-yes. But work in taver,v way with those who may try to make the return to religion lllt:l actuality.

Again, the open house. This eosentially simple way of opening a door for better understanding of Catholic teaching offers a field of influence of great importance to ourselves and to others who, perhaps unknowing_ ly, need an example. Open house for our schools-showing the use of belief and truth in everyday life--might well be a sought for ray of light in the struggle against a growing darkness.

Columnist Records Ambitious List of New Year Resolves

By Mary Tinley Daly _ New'Year resolutions, like pre-election promises, sometimes steam up more fervor than fulfillment. But, like political promises, they at least point the way to Utopia.

Listening to an ardent young priest a few Sundays ago, we were stirred to inau- power, won't power and allgurate a self-improvement round more efficient living. program, and certainly the • This list we would type and start of a new year is the hang boldly on the kitchen bulIdeal time. "Just think," the young priest said, "if each of us would work on only one 'fault a year and eom p lete ly eradicate that one fault, why, It wouldn't be long until we'd be saints!"

The prospect sounded gloriously promising and, with Father H'! enthusiastic approach, quite feas!hie.

Until we 1Jtopped to think01', rather, twist through some mental gymnastics.. . Were' we Father H's age, yet holding the number of faults we harbor, it is conceivabl.e that, by getting rid of one a ;)'ear we might wear a halo instead of a , hat if we were granted a long, long life, say a century. However, being twice his age and undoubtedly with twi~ his faults, we'd better trot out the bulldozer and start some wholeIale uprooting.

Little List So, with the approach of 196~, we decided to get moving, to dear 'Up real' faults whi.ch we' regard ·as our own .private bus!ness, though they are probably . as noticeable to ·others as II mountain in a desert. . We made a list, wrote it m our own individual shorthand so that nobody else could read it, proving, of course, that one of those listed faults is pride!

Why not make another list?

This would contain resolutions for improvement in the minor areas of daily living and, if suceesful, would contribute will

PAVLA Continued from Page Six done a fine job especially 1D remote areas.

Bishop Welcomes Volunteers "Our Holy Father appealed recently to the generosity of lay apostles to come to the aid of Latin America" Bishop Rossi of Brazil wrote in his pastoral letter welcoming the first Volunteers to his diocese. Fifteen young women are undertaking to give of the best of their youth and vitality to serve the Church for the next three years. Addressing himself to "all our beloved co-workers - priests, religious and laymen" he asked them to receive with greatest kindness, understanding and warmth this team of young women who come with generosity to share the efforts to increase the reign of Christ in our diocese.

The Papal Volunteers will work on a pilot project In which the group will go from village to village collaborating with Brazilian young ladies in becoming expert teachers of Christian doctrine. The program calls for those coming from other countries to assist local lay leaders in developing the apostolate; they are not to replace the local leaders.

All of the Papal Volunteers could serve the Lord In wellpaid professional positions; none is lacking in professional preparation and higher education.

But these young people "who abandoned comfort to embrace what is heroic, who reach with fraternal love to find the spiritual hungry and abandoned and soften their hard lot, who leave country, family, friends, in order to take on a difficult work, without remuneration or comfort, in surroundings so different in mentality, culture, education such young people cannot fail to speak the sublime language of Christian charity. "For this reason we welcome with .fatherly warmth, these young women who have chosen our diocese as theil" home for three years the same number of years in which Our Lord Jesus Christ lived his public life."

The Bishop then refers to the heroic testimony of such chosen souls as priests and religious which all Catholics are accustomed to see. "The witness of Papal Volunteers assumes a singular importance in our century which needs to be shown that the Church is not only priests and religious but also the laity.

University Students From 14 Countries OTTAWA (NC) - Fourteen countries are represented among the 481 fulltime students pursuing ecclesiastical studies at the University of Ottawa.

A report by Father Gerard.

Gagnon, O.M.I., secretary general of the university, shows that students come from all 10 provinces of Canada, seven states of the United States, and Argentina, Austria, Basutoland, Belgium, Chile, Cuba, Germany, Haiti, Jamaica, Peru, Uganda and Venezuela.

Three of the graduate students are not Catholics. One of these is the Rev. Griff Jones of King of Prussia, Pa., an Episcopalian minister who, coaches Ottawa UniveI'Sity's basketball team.

Seminary Planning Expansion Program ELKHORN (NC)-A longrange, $10 million program involving 11 new buildings has been planned for St. John Vianney Seminary here in Nebraska. 'oJ' Father Thomas Allen, O.S.B., prior of Mount Michael Monastery, whose monks staff the seminary, said the first building, a monastic living quarters costing $400,000, will be started in in the Spring.

Father Allen said the program also will include a new $1 million church seating 1,000, a monastery for 200 Benedictines, a dining hall, a library, a liberal arts college building :for 200 students, an auditorium and other buildings.

Nantucket Continued from Page Sixteen xJrom New Bedford in July of 1856, in which he notifies one I Patrick Sox that he will be in Nantucket Sunday, Aug. '3. He odds the mysterious note "Please I make known to the Col1ectory that they may have their lists Feady at my coming."

Until 1861 service to island Catholics was supplied by priests £rom New Bedford, but in that year boat service from New Bedford was suspended. Regular tFips were still made from Hyannis, however, and priests from Cape parishes began to come to Nantucket.

Until 1903, though, when St. Mary's for the first time became o parish with a resident priest, the Catholics of Nantucket were visited no oftener than once every three weeks.

Between 1869 and 1875 emir,rants from Portugal and the' Azores swelled Nantucket's· Catholic population above the:. tiOO mark. With each year the Island was being re~ognized as an ideal Summer resort by more and more mainland residents and during vacation months Sunday congregations we r e doubled.

P.ermanent I;'astor In 1886 a group of Catholic women, led by Mrs. William j[,awrence and Mrs. Richard White, initiated a campt'dgn for the assignment of a permanent pastor to St. Mary's.

The group issued a public appeal, declaring: "The large Summer congregations and the unhappy condition of so many in p,rcat sickness without proper religious consolation during the r,reater part of the year, has caused the more active Catholics to take st.eps towards establishing a priest in this town permanently.

"To this end, an early meeting ill to be called for all who are in any way in sympathy with the movement, and it is greatly der.ired that our visiting Catholics may be ready and anxious to ftll·ther t.his good' intention."

In 1871, long before the much d('sired pel'manent pastor had been assigned to Nantucket, the island had acquired its own cemetery. It was blessed by Rev. Peter Bertoldi of Sandwich and ground for :t had been acquired

by Rev. Cornelius O'Connor, then pastor of the Harwich pnrish.

Hlumony Hall Harmony H a II, mentioned nuove, stooel on the site of the present church. It was sold and removed in May of 1896 and the new church was erected by Rev. Charles McSweeny. The first Mass was said in July of 1897.

Father McSweeny was much beloved in Nantucket. The Inquirer and Mirror editorialized: "He has been unwearied in his exertions to establish St. Mary's Church of Nantucket. His uniform courtesy has endeared him to many Protestants in our midst, while among his own church people, he is universally loved."

The priest made trips to the island every three weeks until he was transferred in 1901 to Immaculate Conception Church, ~'all River. He was succeeded by Rev. James M. Coffey, who served for 11' months as the last of Nantuckr:-t's mission priests.

When Father Coffey was transferred to St. Mary's Church in Tuunton thf- island paper once ngain paid editorial tribute: "1"a tiler Coffey has been a most ~ncrgetic worker for all that was {!f.od and a comfort to all who b1l'w him.

"Not only to the Cat.holics of Nnntucket has the Reverend Father endcm'ed himself, but to the Protestal1t community as well has he ='''''(':11(':1 by his broad Ilnd liberal views, his cheery, wnny disposition and his manly traits of character. In the short yl'ar and one half which he has had charge ct St. Mary's, he has more than doubled attendance at services." .'ather MeGee On June 1, 1903.

McGee, D.D. to the post of permanent pastor of St. Mary's.

Father McGee, a graduate of the American College in Rome, was considered one of the most brilliant churchmen in the Diocese. He became known as "nature's nobleman" because of his great love for the outdoors and it was not uncommon for parishioners to meet him riding over the moors on horseback or hiking through the island woods.

The new pastor rented quarters for a rectory until he purchased the former Benjamin Eston estate for a permanent headquarters. He remained at Nantucket until 1910, when he was succeeded by Rev. Thomas Kelley, who served three years.

During Father Kelly's pastorate, the church acquired a pipe organ for $2,600. Today, after being rebuilt and redesigned, it is esti. mated to be worth at least $15,000.

Father" Griffin Rev. Joseph M. Griffin succeeded Father Kelley in HI13 and until 1926 he was alone on the isl.and, except during the Summer months, when he was supplied with temporary assistants.

Thus a great number of priests 'of the Diocese had the opportunity to know Father Griffin and to revere him as the "patriarch of the island." Among his Summer assistants were Bishop Connolly and Msgr. Hugh Gaillagher, now pastor of St. James Church. New Bedford.

The first year-round assistant Father Griffin had was Rev. George A. Meade, who came to Nantucket in 1926.

In 1928 Father Griffin purchased a new rectory, within a few minutes walking distance of the church. Thil' alTangement was much more satisfactory than the previous one, since the Eston estate was some distance from St. Mary's.

In all, Father Griffin °served St. Mary's 34 years In a very real sense, say those who knew him, hIS was a "hidden life," as . far as the world was concerned.

His trips to the mainland were few, and paradoxically, he does not appear to have been particularly fond of the water, except to look at.

Cl In his later years the story is told that he accompanied the late Bishop Cassidy for a day's outing on a fishing boat and that when he returned to land he said firmly, for all the world to hear, "The first time, and the last time!"

Many Accomplishments In addition to the purchase of a new rectory, Father Griffin enlarged thp area ofSt. Mary's cemetery. His charity, it is recalled, was not confined to his parishioners, for he helped those in need, no matter what their faith.

His popularity and good works wel'e recognized on his 25th anniversary, when he was feted at a public dinner and presented a plaque by the Nantucket Masonic Lodge. .Father Griffin literally and deliberately, since he was offered many opportunities to accept a mainland parish, gave his priestly life to and for St. Mary"s.

By Rev. Andrew M. Greeley Clearly ours is an ecumenic,:al,age. But if progress in religious understal)ding is to continue, it should be equally elear that no one can expect members of another religious group to ,prove false to their tradition. One often suspects that a good number of nonCatholics feel that the cur- ber of the people who have been rent "aggiornamento" in the involved in the' controversy profoundly regret that it got, Catholic Church means that started (though one suspects

It seems very likely that the contrcvedsy around the establishment of birth controi as pubHe policy in Illinois is in great part the result of a misunderstanding of the Catholic posture, a feeling that moderation is the same as weakness.

Morally Repugnant Unquestionably the propoIlents of publicly financed birth control in Illinons sincerely believed that it would help solve • major social problem. They also were not unaware that it would possibly cut relief costs and thus have broad tax payer appeal. . Nor were they made unhappy by the realization that such a program would in effect put the ., state in a position where it would be picking up the budget, ary deficit of the Chicago Chapter of Planned Parenthood.

The only obstacle to the program was that it would be morally repugnant to almost "half of the citizens of, the area in which it was to be applied, that, in fact, these citizens might at'gue that the state was promoting fornication and prostitution, , Misunderstood Attitude' Now one of the basic rules of (be pluralistie game in our soeiety is that you do not try to establish as public something that is morallyobjectionabie to a large group of your population.

But there is a curious double standard about these rules; Catholics are expected to be more careful in their observation of them than anyone else.

Protestant ministers may endorse political candidates, but Catholic Bishops may not. The National Educational Association may speak out on Federal aid, but Catholic authorities' may l1()t. So too Catholics must not oppose major changes which they find rrioraally objectionable and poor public policy.

The strange and tragic part of the Chicago controversy is that the birth control proponents apparently really believed that the Catholic Archdiocese would be eager to, so avoid controversy; that it would sit quietly by while a campaign began which seemed to l)ave as its objective tfhe establishment as official policy, a code of ethics at vari. ance with much of the- JudaeoChristian tradition. .

Apparently they felt that plans'for p'ublicly financed sterilization and divorce for those on relief would produce no violent reaction either.

Father Fitzgerald served at S( Mary's from 1947 until his death in 1954. He built up the parish treasury and or:ganized St. Mary's Gulld, an effective fundraising organization.

He looked forward to the daJ' when it maight be necessary to bulld a larger St. Mary's and he made every effort to provide for that eventuality.

He was succeeded by Rev. Edward F. Dowling, who came to Nantucket in June of 1954. One of his first projects was the construction of II basement hall and under his supervision what had been nothing more than a coal cellar became Our Lady's Hall.

The work of major repair on the 60 year old church was also begun by Father Dowling, with the installation of a hardwood floor in the body of the building.

Pews were scraped down to their original oak grain and parishioners donated funds to erect a statue of Our Lady of Grace in the front of the church.

Father Carey Succeeding Father Dowling in February of 1960 was Rev. Daniel E. Carey, now serving the island parish. He had, previously been stationed from 1952 to 1959 as assistant at St. Mary's, so was well known to Nantucketers.

The work of restoration and redecoration of the church, begun during Father Dowling'. pastorate, has been continued by Father Carey. Today St. Mary's ftnterior is, as islanders say colloquially, "some different."

Armand Masseur of -Providence, noted ecclesiastical art~st, has redecorated the sanctuQry and the altars have been redesiened and rebuilt in conformNew tabernacles grace tOO 19hoaio on the tabernacle.

New wood-carved statues are in place, llnd the stations of the cross are also of wood. New kneelers have been installed throughout the church. .

The baptistry has been reloeated and also is adorned by • Masseur painting' and a crucifix purchased in 1916 by Father Griffin has been moved to a prominent place OVer the main altar, while a new side entranee and staircase have been bullt in the area formerly occupied by the baptistry.

During the Spring of 1962 the work on the organ, previously mentioned, was accompllshed.

The choir loft area is equipped with new pews.

Christian Doctrine Our Lady's Hall is primarily used as "a delightful and most efficient area for the instruction classes in Christian Doctrine.Father Carey and his present assistant, Rev. Robert F. Kirby, are working towards canonical erection of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine in St. Mary's l!larish. In the meaintime, however, no time is being lost.
