Ordinary Se:eksto HelpSchools Annual Easter Collection Now for Needy Pupils

Bishop Connolly Ann,ou·nces Plan for Lower Grades

Diocesan Program to Ease Fiscal Strain A move designed to help financially-pinched parishes to meet their straining treasuries in the operation of parochial elementary schools has been initiated by Most Rev. James L. Connolly, Bishop of Fall River.

The traditional Easter collection henceforth will be used to help defray the cost of educating needy pupils in the 54 lowergrade schools in the diocese.

The annual Easter collection has been used in the past to operate orphans homes. "We will support the so-called orphanages from diocesan funds," the Bishop said in a pastoral letter read at all churches in the diocese last Sunday.

"Let us all help maintain our schools," Bishop Connolly emphasized, adding, "increase the number of beneficiaries, especially students and families."

The Bishop said the Easter monies will be "given to provide for the education of needychil~ dren in Catholic elementary schools."

The Bishop's letter: . Beloved in Christ, . Christ instructed HiS" followers to teach what he taught, and so bring men to the knowledge, love, and service of God. Over the centuries, Cathedral schools, monastery schools; and universities have carefully carried out this role. Parish schools were

They were built at great· sacrifice by the faithful, and happily staffed by dedicated women of great religious communities.

Now, we read the papers telling of schools being closed for lack of religious, and the growing necessity to employ layteachers whose salaries neces-' sarily amount to four or five times what self-sacrificing sisters have received.

Weare- in a season of serious need. You can well imagine the extent of the problem when I tell you that some parochial

schools presently employ as many lay-teachers as sisters, and the situation is serious to the point that a few schools are near the point of closing. We do not. relish the thought any more than do the faithful. So I write to tell you of an important change, made with' an aim to provide subsidy for needy parishes.

Our Easter Sunday Collection has always been given for support of children in the three orphanages. It will, beginning this year, be given to provide for the education of needy children in Catholic elementary schools, We have 'already done Turn to Page Five

Bill to Increase 'N()npublic School Aid Passes 'First' Hurdle HARRISBURG '(NC The hottest piece of current legislation to' aid nonpublic schools in which breezed Pennsylvania, through the House on a 114-76 vote, faces rougher treatment in the Republican-controlled Senate.

Arid if it leaps that hurdle, it will meet the expressed opposition' of Gov. Raymond P. Shafer, who says he will veto it for lack of funding.

A total of 90 Democrats and 24 Republicans supported the measure, while 13 Democrats and 63 Republicans voted against it.

There were 12 absentees.

Minority leader Lee. A Donaldson, Jr., who supports the existing legislation which provides $4.3 million in aid to nonpublic schools, opposed the present measure, which would supercede that bill and allocate $20.5 million this year and $41.7 million later.

The funds would come from the cigarette tax. Donaldson predicted the new measure would be fought in court if passed, and said that in any case "we don't· believe the funds are available for it."

The bill's chief sponsor, Democrat Martin P. Mullen of Philadelphia, said the added cost to the state would be negligible in comparison to the amount which would have to be spent if the state had to pay the full cost of educating nonpublic school children.

The enrollment in nonpublic schools already has declined from 614,691 in October, 1966, to 570,020 last October, with lack of money playing a majot part.

Gigantic Task "Certainly if the parents of the children attendingnonpublic schools were to decide that they were no longer going to bear the tremendous personal sacrifice to educate their children in the nonpublic school and decide to transfer their children to 'the public ·school, and the obligation fell upon us to provide the necessary facilities for the education of these children," Mullen said, "the people in the Commonwealth aIJd ourselves will face a

See Plans Religious Education Center TOLEDO (NC)-Bishop John A Donovan said a new Religious

Education Center planned for the Toledo diocese will be a theological and catechetical service agency "of utmost importance to the priests, Sisters and laity of the diocese."

The' center will be staffed by the Sisters, Servants of the' Immaculate Heart o(Mary from the motherhouse in Monroe,' Mich.

Sister M. Noreen, who will direct the center, is completing work for her master's degree in religious education at Catholic University of America and will take up her new duties in June.

The center's primary program will deal with 'teaching how to teach religion." It will also be a research center for religious teaching material, and a meeting place for teacher discussions on prpblems and solutions and the formulation of enriching pro-' grams. Bishop Donovan said the center will have its own proper relationship to the Diocesan Confraternity of Christian Doctrine and Continuing Education Apostolates. "

LAFAYETTE (NC) - A committee to ,study the question of separate parishes for whites and 1:1Iacks has been formed in the Lafayette diocese, Bishop Maurice Schexnayder has reported.

The committee, headed by Father Curtis Vidrine of New Iberia, includes black and white clergy, Religious and laity. There are ~ight lay people, four priests and three' Religious on the com· mittee.

Bishop Schexnayder said he has asked the committee to study the question and make recom· mendations concerning the problem, recalling that the first separate parishes in the diocese for Negroes were established at their own request in 1913.

"We are aware of the situation as it nOw exists, but we want to know the thin,king of the people," the Louisiana ordinary said. "We have reacherla time of transition which requires prudence, patience and serious study."

gigantic task in raising the necessary funds to provide the secular educational services, to those 600,000 children . . . ."

Mullen, who is chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said he has no objection to the pay raises being granted to public school teachers, but asserted that those increases are forcing the nonpublic schools to raise their own scale in order to maintain good education.

"Many of ~s are fearful that unless some financial aid is provided' to the nonpublic schools in a substantial way immediately, many ,of the services which are given to our children in the nonpublic schools will be terminated because of our inability to' pay the rising costs necessary to furnish the services," he said.

The Pope recalIed diffic~lties that seminary education is encountering today and noted that today's yousg men want to understand things to, the foundations and to be masters of their own activity.

This new mentality must be taken into account in the education of tomorrow's priests, the Pope said, although valid principles of education should not be abandoned. He urged that the educators seek to establish relations with students not on a basis of students' passive acceptance of authority bot rather on a basis of a dialogue that fosters inner conviction.

ligion and Christian civilization because it has as its fundamental principle that capitalism must be destroyed and that religion is but the opium with Which capitalism has drugged the proletariat."

Despite this last declaration, Taylor attempted during his visit the following year to persuade the Holy See that the Soviet Union was softening its hard line against religion.

'Helpful Collaborator' A resume of Taylor's conversation with the then substitute secretary of state, Msgr. Giovanni Battista Montini (now Pope Paul VI), paraphrases the presidential representative: "Ambassador Taylor, referring to Russia, declared that in the opinion of American government officials, it is the duty of all to attempt to reform Russia and to bring her into line as a member of the family of nations, rather than to try to keep her isolated "In Washington there is a growing confidence that Russia will prove a helpful collaborator after the war and that the generally unacceptable features of the Russian system are disappearing.

"Communism as such, is passing. The principle of private property is again recognized, at least in part. The attitude toward religion is changing considerably, e~en though freedom of religion does not yet exist."

Menta I Hea Ith Day ApII'il17 Fall River is among dioceses cooperating in an interfaith institute to be held Thursday, April 17 at Worcester State Hospital.

The all-day conference, sponsored by the Massachusetts Association for Mental Health in cooperation with the Massachusetts Council of Churches, the Massachusetts Board of Rabbis, the archdiocese of Boston and tHe diocese of Fall River, Springfield and Worcester, will seek to forge closer links between clergymen and mental health professionals in handling emotional problems presented by parishioners.

Ways in which mental centers can work with c1~rgymen, and methods of developing clergy as "front line community mental health resources" will be discussed.

The program is open to clergy and mental health professionals from all areas of the state. Further information is available from the Association for Mental Health. 38 Chauncy Street, Boston, or from the Department of Pastoral Ministry of the Massachusetts Council of Churches.

.End Suspension Of Viet Paper SAIGON (NC) - The South Vietnamese minister of information, Nguyen Ngoc An, said the Catholic-owned and edited Vietnamese-language daily new!!paper, Hoa Binh (Peace), can reopen at once.

The paper drew a 30-day suspension for violating press regulations. On that day the paper issued three editions but only one was submitted to the information ministry in advance of printing.

The two editions not submitted carried an article critical of the government, maintaining that it is not a representative government.

While there has been no press censorship in, South Vietnam since May I, 1968, current press regulations make it mandatory for all newspapers to submit full and exact copies of each issue to the information ministry prior to printing.

The paper is published by Father Joseph Tran Du here.

Solace Othell's The true way of softening one's troubles is to solace those of others.-de Maintenon.

Regardless of present prob· lems we must give more realistic salaries to sisters. By 1970, in justice, we intend to raise sisters salaries to almost twice what they are now. This year, the increase goes from $1,200.00 to $1,600.00, and from $1,400 to $1,800.00 per sister per school year. In addition, each sister or brother teaching in our school system will henceforth get the benefit, if he docs not have it already of Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance. This is important, if for no other reason than to lift from teachers shoulders anxieties about sickness and hospital expense.

orphans and emotionally disturbed. But let us all help maintain our schools and increase the number of beneficiaries, especially those students and fam· i1ies who have little or no prospect of success in life.

This is a diocesan programme for all parishes. It precludes any independent parish appeal. All pal'ish schools will be better off by working together.

With deep appreciation and thanks to all supporting this important project, I remain Devotedly in Christ, ~ JAMES L. CONNOLLY, Bishop of Fall River.

We are members of a working community. Over thirty or more years our income and health benefits have far exceeded what traditionally has been granted the sisters as a reward for great sacrifices. It is in our own interest to continue parish schools where they exist. Anyone doubting that, might benefit somewhat by reading the insistent letters of protest that reach our office whenever there is question of closing a school. But, in all sincerity, we must all inevitably do more by action than by words.

The parish, and the diocese can spend only according to their means.

So I call on one and all parishes, with and without schools, to demonstrate in the Easter Collection, now designated for the support of Catholic children who might not otherwise get the education 1n religion called for by Our Blessed Lord, to lift substantially what they have customarily given for the orphans. We'll take care of the

Ordinary Seeks to Help Schools

VATICAN CITY (NC)-In its newly published fifth volume of a series giving hitherto secret documents of papal diplomatic and humanitarian activities during World War II, The Holy See has detailed an attempt by the late Domenico Cardinal Tardini gram which is eminently milito warn the United States taristic," Msgr. Tardini asserted. that Europe under commuCommunism, he said, "cannot nist domination would be no renounce its struggle against rebetter off than under nazi domination.

This is found in a memo of Cardinal Tardini to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's personal representative at the Holy See, Myron C. Taylor. The memo is one of 500 and more documents published in the new book, which has a historical introduction of 63 pages, plus almost 600 pages of documents.

Naive View The new volume is part of a series begun by the Holy See in 1965, apparently in reply to attacks on Pope Pius XII's motives launched by German playwright Rolf Hochhuth in his play "The Deputy:' This volume-and most of its predecessors-was edited by an international team of Jesuit historians: Father Pierre Blet of France, Robert A. Graham of the United States, Angelo Martini of Italy and Burkhart Schneider of Germany.

Cardinal Tardini. who then held the post of secretary of the Congregation for Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs and the rank of monsignor, cautioned Taylor against a naive view of communist Russia during the presidential representative's first visit to the Vatican, in 1941.

In a memo he wrote for Taylor the day afterward, he began: "At present Europe is faced with two great dangers: nazism and communism. Both are opposed to religion, to Christian civilization, to personal liberty, to peace. At the present moment nazism is better organized and boasts greater strength."

Identical Situation Msgr. Tardini asserted that "if the war now in progress were to mean the end of both dangers, a period of tranquility would be possible for Europe. If even one of these evils-communism, for example-were to remain an active force, Europe would, within a few years, be in a situation identifical with that in which it finds itself today."

He observed that communism "has always profited by the discontent of the people in moments of difficulty."

Communism, "notwithstanding its pacifist claims, pursues a pro-

Dr. Sterling Brown Hails Elevation Of Americans

THE ~NCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., April 3, 1969

School Report'

NEW YORK (NC) - Commenting .~r the elevation of four American prelates to the rank of Cardinal by Pope Paul, Dr. Sterling W. Brown, president of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, declared: "The elevation by His Holiness, Pope Paul VI, of four Americans to the Sacred College of Cardinals is a cause for rejoicing by people of all faiths. The in, creasingly warm intercreedal relations existing in the United States will be enhanced considerably as four more Roman Catholic prelates of this nation join the highest church councils.

"Cardinals - elect Dearden, Cooke, Carberry and Wright are all ecumenical leaders held in the highest esteem and respect. May God bless them and all of us in this season approaching the high holydays for both Christians and Jews."

The report issued by the Massachusetts Advisory Council on 'Education was sponsored by neither the Cath'olic Church nor the parochial school systems.

This objective report indiCates that if the Catholic school system iIi the commonwealth were phased out, the taxpayers of Massachusetts would have to payout one billion, eight hundred million dollars over the next ten years in public school replacements.

The tax rates would skyrocket - up $46.20 in the city of Fall River, up $25.50 in New Bedford, up $39.70 in Taunton, up $65.40 in Acushnet, up $13.80 in Berkley, up $2.80 in Dighton, up $4.50 in Freetown, up $2.20 in Rehoboth, up $4.50 in Seekonk, up $9.20 in Somerset, up $34.60 in Swansea, up $29.60 in Westport.

What are the conclusions to be drawn? The parochial school system has no intention of "blackmailing" the State into aid. But it points out that all three school systems - public, parochial and private - fulfill public function of educating. All three would seem to be entitled to support for the public function they perform for the community. The add~d dimension given by the parochial schools - the spiritual dimension - would, of course, be excluded from such support.

a

, The purpose of Holy Week is not simply to relive the events of the Lord's passion and death and resurrection - although it 1S this, surely. But it aims at causing men to enter so completely into these events of the_ Lord's redemption that they share the redemption and live new lives in the future.

Christianity inconveniences. It does not want a person to stay the same. It brings about internal revolution - in attitudes and thoughts and then in words and, deeds. It cO!J1mits a ,persolJ:,to.a life that, in the words of the lat~ Cardinal Suhard of Pans, ,oj's inexplicafjle if G6d:-'dQ,e"'s"" riot exist." , , To such 'a life iSI the :Christian called. To such a life .is he conformed by living in union with Christ, a process that involves knowing Christ and communing with Him' and putting aside obstacles to the Christ-growth within him. . , This'is the work of Lent. It is the work of Easter. It is the, ,l~fe~lo~g W9Fk of the Christian. '

Offers Pr1eview of, Styles For Easter Parading·

By Marilyn Roderick

The sewing machines are humming, the stores are bustlfng and if my advance news is correct there'll be some snappy dresses in the Diocese when Easter Sunday rolls around. Our lady of Mount Carmel Church in New Bedford will be festive when . Mrs. Beverly Souza, her Older sister Nancy has chosen daughter Pammy and Mrs. the more sophisticated combination of navy and white to accesSouza's sister, Debbie Al- sorize her white topper. Nancy's meida attend Easter Mass.

Pammy, one year old, will be wearing a light, pink smocked d res s with brighter pink, lace - trimmed coat and bonnet. She'll toddle down the aisle carrying a tiny white straw bag decorated wit h pink rosebuds.

B e v's outfit, which she made, will blend beautifully with her daughter's pink tones because she will be wearing a light orchid double knit ensemble consisting of a long sleeved slimline dress and a matching swirling cape. Shaded orchid net trimmed with roses will grace her coiffure and she'll carry a matching handbag, which she also cleyerly created.

Debbie, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Almeida, is upholding the family tradition of producing gifted seamstresses, because she t'oo is making her own outfit, assisted by big sister Bev. Although only eleven· and a half, this clever young miss is creating her own daffodil-yellow dress and cape costume. Both her hat and the fastening on her cape will be daisy covered to further emphasize the radiant look of flower colors for spring.

Also wearing the softened tones of the Spring blossoms will be that lovely young lady Miss Valerie. Marie Perreira, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Perreira of St. Michael's parish in Fall River. Val, a'· seven year. old beauty, has chosen a straight· line basket-weaye tweed coat in muted shades of. yellow, pink, turquoise and white. The coat has a back-pleat, bright yellow buttons and a matching smallbrimmed hat to sit atop the young wearer's beautiful hair.

Wool Coats Two school mates of Val, Jean and Nancy Driscoll, daughters of State .,Representative and Mrs. Wilfred. Driscoll of Holy Name parish, Fall River,will greet the - joys of Easter in white wool coats. Jeiinnie's is single breasted with bright gold buttons and she will add just the right touch with .a bright green dress and matching .bow atop her soft brown locks. Completing her outfit will be an over-the-shoulder beaded bag in tones of green, pink and white and black patent leather shoes.

Catholic Weeklies Lose Circulation BONN (NC)-In the· past two. years there has been a 83,000 decrease in the circulation - of West German diocesan weeklies according to. a survey of th~ period 1966-68 for 19 out of the 22 diocesan weeklies.

At the end of 1966 the combined circulation was over 2.1 million, and in December 1968, it was over 2.02 million. '

coat is double breasted and has a set-in-belt along the lowered waistline, to give that "with-it" look that· all se~enth-graders require.

Lovely fifteen year old Joanne O'Connell of St. Joseph's parish in Fall River found that the look sh~ wanted for Spring was to be found in a paled down flowered dress in tones of pink and a matching pink coat. With this soft-toned costume she will wear pale grey accessories.

Joanne's mother, Mrs. Joseph O'Connell Jr.. (also the mother cif four other feminine females), will show that the other part ot the generation gap can look quite elegant when she joins the Easter parade in a grey and white ensemble. The coat of g'rey ..and white houndstooth check fits over a slim-line basic grey shift dress, and black patent leather shoes will complete her costume. , Three Pieces Two young mothers who keep right up there on the list of women who know and wear fashion are Mrs. Walter Bronhard of St. Stanislaus parish· in Fall River and Mrs. Raymond Ainsworth of Holy Rosary parish, Fall River. Mrs. Bronhard has selected a three piece design to top her spring wardrobe.

The three-fourths length coat. and the matching skirt are blue, green and white· tweed and for contrast the blouse picks up the Kelly green in the fabric. Semifitted with an open collar, the coat has wrist-length sieeves?and bright green buttons. .

Own Design Mrs. Ainsworth (Lillian) who is also one of the most marvelous home-sewers in the Diocese has created her own red, white and blue outfit. Her ·navy wool coat is designed with a high belt in the back fastened with· m.ilitary buttons and the same bright buttons march down the front closing. Underneath this smart design Lil will wear a white double knit dress with a jeweled neckline, short sleeves and a wide self-belt. This too is one of her own works of art.

Red . accessories will complete the look of Spring "69."

Men in Parade And lest I. be accused of· being prejudiced against the male of the species in this year's April 6 fashion' parade, I offer the following two entries. Nine year olq David Baptiste, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Baptiste of St. Anthony of the Desert parish in· Fall River and two year oid Jackie Cr~ok, son of Mr. and Mrs... Douglas Crook of Holy Name parish, Fall River. David will .bl;! resplendent in a gold double-breasted jacket, white turtleneck jersey and very sharplooking plaid. trousers. .

KETfERING (NC)-People of suburbia, enjoying the "good life," can provide the leadership for social development in the nation, Father Bernard Marthaler, director of religious education at the Catholic University of America, said here in Ohio.

Lecturing in "The Christian in Suburbia" series at St. Charles parish, Father Marthaler said suburbia represents that segment of society "that is in a position today to stand back, reflect upon society and act upon the conscience of the world."

Suburbia can become "the nation's and the world's· conscience," because it is able -to provide the leisure to its residents that is required to achieve broad vision and it has the experts of. society with "the kind of specialized knowledge that is not universally at the disposal of men," he said.

The color was atrocious, the acting amateurish at best, the costuming ludicrous, and the story warped beyond recognition. The film was made in Europe, I would suspect Northern Italy, and English was dubbed in (with very little concern for synchronization, incidentally).

In essence, the whole thing was a money-making scheme using the gullibility of children and massive television advertising. I am sure considerably· more was paid for advertising than for production of the film.

Intellectual Affront I have never been' one who believes in censorship of adult books,. movies and magazine because I have always felt that adults have both the moral and to intellectual responsibility make choices. However, as a teacher and a father, I am concerned about those things which affect my children. In this instance there was nothing morally wrong with this picture, but it was an intellectual affront to even the smallest child.

I am not a crusader but in this instance I called the theatre manager to register my complaint. His reaction' was .~o be I expected. He claimed that he had no control over what was shown in the theatre and gave me the name of the film distributors. I have written them a letter but I am sure it will be lost in the greenbacks which resulted from the two-day showing of Pinocchio. We are not naive enough to think that it was even read.

Individuals cannot compete with the force of unseen promoters but this individual has vowed that he will not be caught again.

The only thing I have as an individual that the promoters are concerned about is money and that I will deny them!

In the Kitchen Along with the "miracle" of Spring comes the more miraculous wonder of Easter. The sadness and remorse of Holy Week end and once more the world is filled with the 'new hope of the resurrection.

Byzantine-Rite, Nuns Elect First Prioress WARREN (NC)-Sister Margaret Mary Schima,. O.S.B., has been elected first prioress of the Queen of Heaven community of Benedictine Sisters of the Byzantine-Rite here· in Ohio.

Preceding the election was a ceremony of foundation for· the newly-established Benedictine priory. Bishop Stephen J. Kocisko of Pittsburgh presided over the ceremony.

The Latin-Rite Benedictine Sisters at Sacred Heart convent, Lisle, Ill., in 1959 began accepting Byzantine-Rite girls as postulants with the intention of eventually forming a ByzantineRite foundation similar to the way their male Benedictine counterparts have established Byzantine monasteries in both Europe and the United States.

WASHINGTON (NC)-The one most requested text at the National Association of Broadcasters convention here was the prayer before a luncheon session offered by· Father Donald F.X. Connolly of the National Catholic Office for Radio and Television, New York.

It also brought a standing ovation from those attending the luncheon.

Father Connolly's prayer went like this: "Here we are, Lord, your oppressed broadcasters - accused of aiding and abetting material· ism, perversion, violence and crime. We are simply not that guilty; we have made a few strides in chronicling and manifesting the truth, goodness and beauty you have lavished on your creation.

Priest Clarifies Jewish-Christian Dialogue Goals

THE ANCHORThurs., April 3, 1969

Dispute Erupts.

In Missouri'

MIAMI (NC) - The purpose of Jewish-Christian dialogue is not to fulfill the ultimate dream of Christianity but to enable each faith to better understand its own traditions, a priest told a Jewish congregation here. . _ Father Raymond Brown, S.S., professor of Sacred Scripture at St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, and consultor to the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, lectured during an institute for adult studies at Greater Miami's Temple Israel.

He told the audience that the bitterness which developed early between Christians and Jews "had previously poisoned our relationship. Now we are in a unique moment for intelligent dialogue, he said.

"For instance, we now have an historical approach to the New Testament through which we understand better why many of the Jews of the first century did not accept Jesus as the Messiah," Father Brown stated.

Christian Purpose , "By an accident in history, Christians became dominant in western culture while the Jews were persecuted," the priest continued, adding that "this has reo suited in Jews' being somewhat suspect of Christians when we say we want to discuss theology.

"What are Christians looking for in wanting to discuss theology with Jews?" Father 'Brown asked. "Many Christian scholars say we have no intent to Christianize Jews.

"In all honesty," he said,. "I do feel that the mission to the Jews in the old sense to convert them to an existing form of Christianity is' dead. Often this meant imposing a non-Jew.ish form of worship on the Jews."

Major Problems Father Brown cited three mao jor problems affecting JewishChristian dialogue: In . theological problems, "ignorance on both sides," A certain exclusiveness in the Jewish outlook comparable to an "isolated" attitude prevalent among Catholics before the Second Vatican Council.

Jewish demands about the Christian attitude toward Israel.

Father Brown said many Jews feel there cannot be dialogue. with Chrisitans who do not accept the state of Israel.

"I feel that a Christian cannot be indifferent to the fate of the Jewish people in Israel and I strongly condemn any threat of genocide," he said. "On the other hand, to make Christian acceptance of the political ambitions of the state of Israel a condition for the continuanc~'of Jewish-Christian dialogue is, I think, intolerable."

Gannon Makes ROTC Voluntary Course ERIE (NC) - Gannon College here in Pennsylvania has dis· closed that, beginning next, Sep: tember. the Army reserve officer training program will be ~oper­ ated on a voluntary, rather than mandatory, basis.

Msgr. Wilfrid J. Nash, college president, says the change has been made on the recommendation of the college curriculum committee. The ROTC program has operated since the mid· 1940's. Freshmen, unless excused for valid reasons, were required to enroll for a two-year, academic credit, basic military science program.

"Contact with God normally takes place through words, and words must not only profess the truth but also be understood by the particular class of listeners." .

Sound Doetrine "Our most formidable task and problem," Cardinal Krol said, "is to present this 'message in a language acceptable to men of our day - to preserve and maintain the authenticity of the message and, at the same time, to express it clearly and understandably," The cardinal noted that the student "has the right ·to hear what the teacher has the obligation to teach: sound doctrine which is in accordance with the official teaching of the magisterium of the Church,"

PERRYVILLE (NC) - A feder· ally financed mobile art and music truck has become the center of a dispute here between the Perry County school superintendent and parochial school groups.

The vehicle. is used at public schools in the county during classroom hours, but is available to .parochial schools only before or after regular school hours and on Saturdays. .

Oscar P. Kasten, county school superintendent, says this is in conformance with Missouri law.

Parochial school officials, however, contend that since federal funds are involved, they take precedence over the state's statutes.

Most of the Catholic protest is being voiced by i.ndividual parents and principals of the Cath· olic schools in the area. Sister Margaret, principal of St. Vincent de Paul's parish school here, said many of the county areas are served only by Catholic schools and that most pupils are bused and thus cannot stay after schqol hours to take advantage of the mobile art and music truck.

The church-state issue, observers here agree, could very well go upward into the appellate courts, although it is not yet in any court.

Plan Convention WASHINGTON (NC)-The Religious Public Relations Council, with members representing 33 Protestant denominations and the Catholic and Greek Orthodox Churches, will conduct its 40th annual convention here April 1618.

From Rumplestiltskin

"~"-

Anonymous Worshiper Gives $1,500 To Bishops' Overseas Aid Fund r

BAY CITY (NC)-Rumplestiltskin has struck again.

Rumplestiltskin is the pseudonym of an anonymous worship~ per at St. Stanislaus church who periodically drops into the collection basket donations in multiples of $500.

Ushers were opening envelopes when treasurer Hubert Kalinowski hit pay dirt and shouted, "Rumplestiltskin was here!"

This time the envelope heid $1,500 in large bills for the Bishops' Overseas Aid Fund.

bELEGA'rE$ AT NFPC: Representing the priests of the Fall River Diocese at the New Orleans Convention of the' National Federation of Priests' Councils were: Rev. Edward A.

The anonymous benefactor has covered his tracks completely.

Establish, Ecumenical Parish in Detroit

THE ANCHORThurs., April 3, 1969

DETROIT (NC)-An ecumen,ical parish, composed of four congregations on Detroit's east side, has been formed.

The four members of the new Southeast Ecumenical Parish, Inc. (SEEP) are: St. Martin's

New TheologicaI Education P~an, In California SAN FRANCISCO (NC)Three Catholic seminaries have joined with six Protestant schools of religion in

Long range goals will inrun by a board of directors of volve coordination of church actwo clergymen and three lay- tivities, throughout ~he area, in.cluding neighborhood conversamen.

Spokesmen for the group said tion and activities for senior citi,its immediate aims are fighting zens. ti~t

this California area in anew design for theological education to make the local church an integral part of training for the ministry.

Inaugurated by the San Francisco Theological Seminary a United Presbyterian institution, the project will become operative next Fall. It is the result of a two-year study by a joint student-faculty committee, the trustees and alumni. Rev. Dr. Arnold B. Come, president, said it is a "completely new philo,sophy of theological education."

Two Campus Systl2m The Catholic institutions involved are Alma College, a Jesuit institution; the F ran cis can School of Theology, and St. Albert's College, conducted by the Dominicans.

The design hinges on an un-' usual two-campus system in which students ,will receive their basic theological education in Berkeley in the nine cooperating schools making up the Graduate Theologicai' Union, and will then return to the SFTS campus for their professional training in church ministries.

New Design "It is not only wasteful management but bad education as well for a number of neighboring seminaries to duplicate the basic theological courses that are common to all Christian communions," Dr. Come said.

"How much 'more stimulating , and informative it is for a be-' ginning student to cut his theological teeto in the company of Lutherans, ,Episcopalians, Unitarians, Dominican~, Jesuits, Baptists, Franciscans, than to be limited to his' own denominational insight."

"By the same, token," Dr. , Come continued, "we believe that a person learns best about the ministries of the church by actually participating in them,thus he will spend one year in a local ministry in much the same way that a medical student interns."

Dr. Come believes this "on'-thejob training" is not simply the kind of volunteer internship offered by many seminaries as a break between the student's second,and third year but an educational method, basic 'to the whole 'concept :of the new de, sign. . ,

Wide Range Under this plan students will 'devote two-thirds of their time to supervised practice of ministry in the field under the guidance of a field supervisor. Students will be placed, in such situations as pastoral ministries in the inner city' and in suburbia, in institutional chaplaincies,路 in community organization involvements, in clinical programs, in counseling a,nd in any new patterns of ministry that develop in the future.

The student will spend the remaining one-third of his time in elective seminars that will cover the biblical, theological, behavioral and social fields. Time is also alloted for workshops in public speaking, group work, counseling and teaching that will involve closely supervised prac路 tice with the laity.

BROTHER THOMAS GALLAGHER

Bro. Gallagher Marks Jubilee On Saturday, April 12, Brother Thomas Gallagher, C.S.C., will observe his Silver Jubilee of religious profession' as a Brother of Holy Cross. A concelebrated Mass and testimonial dinner will be tendered him, to mark the occasion. Priests and Brothers of Holy Cross,路 Brother Thomas' family and friends will be pl.'esent to honor him.

Edward Gallagher, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Gallagher, was born on April 4, 1921 in New York City. Iii 1942 he entered the Brothers of Holy Cross, receiving the name Brother Thomas. Following graduation from Notre Dame University, Brother Thomas taught ,successively in Reitz Memorial H.S., Evansville,. Ind.; Gilmour AcademY,Gates: Milrs,Ohio; Coyle High School, Taunton; Notre Dame International School, Rome, Italy; and presently, is assigned to Cardinal Mooney H. S., Rochester, N. Y. Interspersed with these teaching assignments were graduate work in Library Science, completed at St. John's University, Queens, N. Y.; nu-' merous coaching jobs, notably in track and cross country.

Fifteen years-more than half of Brother Thomas' years in Holy Cross-were spent at Coy~.

High School, Taunton, the oldest established school conducted by the Holy Cross Brothers in the Eastern Province. He taught theology and English, served as librarian; was assistant principal, assistant superior, and his last six years at the Taunton ,school saw him appointed Principal and' superior. Brother Thomas is presently serving in the English department of Cardinal Mooney H. S., and assists as a track and cross country coach.

Quiet, easygoing, a'-.good listener, and story teller with an Irish sense of humor, he has always been very' much a part of every school and community to which he has been assigned. His fine qualities as both teacher and administrator have endeared him to both students and faculties of the schools to which he has been assigned in the past quar- . NAME ter century.

---

For him, just another day .

He will not celebrate the Resurrection.

He does not even know of Christ.

Will you leave him thus in the darkness a1;ld despair of Good Friday, when your love and sacrifice can bring to him the joy of Easter morning?

Come True, at Cassidy

PHILADELPHIA (NC) - The number of converts to Catholicism in the five-county Philadelphia archdiocese during 1968 was 44 per cent below the number reported in 1967, chancery officials reported. . The 1,107 aaults received into the Church last year contrasted with the 1,985 converts reported in 1967. The 1968 total was almost 2,000 below the 3,059 adults received into the Church in ]960.

Dr. O'Connell, former chief justice of Florida's Supreme Court, said church - related schools should exercise that Judaeo-Christian emphasis on the importance of the individual which "adds to education and to life, an ingredient badly needed in an age of bigness and impersonality." .

He said church-related colleges can best demonstrate the reason for their existence by unashamedly offering the opportunity for spiritual as well as intellectual growth.

Although a slight increase in the annual total of converts was reported during the years of the Second Vatican C~)Uncil, the number of adults received into the Church in this' area has declined yearly since 1965.

The decline in the number of conversions ·is a phenomenon not peculiar to Philadelphia, however, although the percentage of decline is more marked here than in many other large dioceses.

Since 1960, conversions r~ported by all American Sees have declined from 131,641 to a 1967 total of 11 0,717.

They won third ..place at the annual Narry League tourna-' ment and Dawn Hannafin was a high scorer at the Horace Mann Debates in New York.

Memqers of the varsity football squad at Coyle received monograms and sweaters at a breakfast sponsored by the Fathers' Club. Bishop Connolly was among guests and Edward McDonagh, lay director of CCD for the diocese, was principal speaker.

New Lounge Study hall? Not for seniors at Cassidy. A new senior lounge has, converted "the 47 minutes of

'study,' once a time of restless clock .watc.hing, into a time of socializing--eating oranges and chocolate bars, listening to folk music and playing whatever card game suits the fancy," rhapsodizes the school paper, Paw Prints. Rules are few, an~one is unlikely to be broken; there's no studying allowed. Go back to the study hall if you're tempted to do that, kids.

Reasons for the decline in the number of converts suggested by informed observers include turmoil in the church, the materialistic and secularistic philosophy of the age, and unsatisfactory educational programs for converts.

Tom Barao of New Bedford

St'ars for Wisconsin Frosh

By PETER J. BARTEK

Received National Recognition at High School

Norton High Coach

The award was richly deserved.

In addition to his prowess on the basketball court, Tom was the outstanding goalie on the school's championship SQccer squad and was a solid .300-hitting first baseman on the Whalers' basebansquad..

At the end of his senior year, some 300 colleges were interested in the fine all-around athlete who also excelled in the classroom (honor roll student in his senior year.)

Eventually he chose the University of Wisconsin.

As he did in high school, Tom enjoyed several outstanding games for the Baby Badgers. In his final effort of the season he tallied 24 points to lead his team to a tight, 106-194, victory over the Iowa Frosh.

Over the season, Barao totaled 213 points for a 19.3 pointper-game average and wound up with a field goal shooting percentage of 46.1 while shooting at a 67.3 clip from the charity stripe.

Tom's love of the game was never more in evidence than earlier this month when he flew in from Madison to compete in the New Bedford Basketball Association playoff game before boarding a return flight immediately following the contest.

Tom is the son of Mrs. Coleen Barao of Borden Street and is a member of St. John's Parish.

Westport Is T eam-to-Beat In Narry Baseball Loop Seekonk and Somerset, co-champions of the Narragansett Baseball League, will be the teams to beat when competition begins April 10. The circuit will feature a wide open race, according to many coaches, with probably five clubs battling it out down the home stretch in late May. Coach Ed Bibeau's Westport One coach opines that "a . club, which finished'only a single off the pacesetters last mistake in the early part of game Spring, has his entire '68 starting

The co-champions again rate Bibeau's veteran infield inas contenders but no one is conceding anything. The infonried cludes Manny Cabral at first, are quick to point out that both Bruce Letourneau at second, clubs were beaten four times in John .Souza .at shortstop and loop play a y~ar ago.

Little Holy Family' May Be Sleeper The Villagers will field a potent offensive attack again this season if the returnees measure up to their 1968 output. If they improve, they may bat themselves to a long awaited championship. In the last campaign, Souza led the attack with a 0408 average, with Wood right be. hind him at .375, Eastwood .310, Cabral .286 and Connors .289.

All are capable of walloping the big hit to break a ball-game wide open.

The big "if" is Westport's pitching. Jeff Hague rates number one with Eastwood getting the number two post. They will also share the third base responsibilities. Hague, .who recorded 42 strikeouts in 43 innings last Spring, is shaping up as one of the best moundsmen in the. circuit. With a little bit of luck Bibeau and his Villagers may finally capture the "flag" for Westport.

Case, which finished in a tie for third with Westport last season also possesses a fine nucleus for a contending club. Although not as deep in returning. lettermen as Westport,' the Cardinals have three-fourths. of their infield back.

The three mainstays are Brien Leonardo, Bob Eddy and Dave Chace. Leonardo will man the first base position. Eddy will be at second and Chace will play either short or third depending upon Coach Bob Gordon's choice from a host of infield candidates.

In New Bedford, Matt Surgento, John Donahue and Paul Arabasz are going through tough workouts to get into shape to pitch Holy Family to the league title. Coach John Brennan's club, which ended the '68 campaign with a 5-9 record, should improve this time around.

Co-Champions Figure in Tight Race Holy Family's probable starting unit will include first baseman Lou Kateily, Paul Healy and John Gushue at 'second and short respectively, Steve Paul at third.

John Donahue will handle the catching duties when not pitching. Ray Charette, Dennis Winn and Tom Louis will probably be in the outfield.

Coach Doug Baxendale has his entire starting unit returning but, like most coaches of small schools, does have a depth problem. The Maple Leafs will have to play a tighter defense this season and must come up with more timely hitting if they are to thrust themselves into the thick of the league race.

But Seekonk and Somerset are still the champions. They must be beaten 'on the field of action rathex: than newsprint. Both have the potential to ward off the challenge.

FOLK MASS.: Rev. Kevin Tripp celeb~ates folk Mass at Rose Hawthorne Home, Fall River, as Pebbles of Sacred Hearts Academy lead singing. Right,

King of Glory Passes among His People At Rose Hawthorne Home Folk Mass

Radio Broadcast Fe~tures UrrbaiU Chulrch Leader NEW YORK (NC)-"Who is to say that the role of the priest is limited to that of preaching from the pulpit?," Father John McCarthy, assistant directol' of the Division of Urban Life of the United States Catholic Conference, asked on a radio broadcast here.

He said that preaching from the pulpit is certainly one of a priest's jobs, but added: "I'm very proud 'of being able to see large numbers of priests, committed lay people, dedicated nuns, firmly involved in the process of social change."

"A lot of people would like to equate the role of the Church, with, roughly, stained glass windows and soft organ music rather than speaking out against injustice and for the development of a society in which all men have dignity and equality," Father McCarthy said. .

He reviewed the history of many of the nation's social problems and said that many of America's social ills are structural. He explained: "It's not that an individual man in ·a neighborhood or an individual working for a company is unjust with those immediately around him.

"It's just that he's unconcerned about or not informed about, or feels he's unable to deal with developing a structure or a system that's more just and more able to provide for the needs of all the people," _ Principles, Hssues The first role of ,the 'Church' in alleviating social problems is to teach its members about "the pasic message of Christianity and'the principles that flow from it concerning human dignity and the necessity to develop a just society," Father McCarthy said, He also said: "The Church never tries in its teaching' roie to talk about the techniques of running things. It is the role of the Church, however, to speak on principles and issues."

In his concluding remarks, Fa- , ther McCarthy said the average citizen who wants to help should "have an open heart and a real concern for the poor and the disenfranchised of this nation."

Father Tripp bri'ngs Communion to stretcher patient. Pebbles visit home weekly to entertain and do volunteer work for patients.

The King of Glory' comes, the nation reJOices, Open your gates before Him, lift up your voices In all of Galilee, in city or village He goes among His people curing their illness.

The King of Glory passed .

I among . HIS peop e on a' sunny afternoon last week at the Rose Hawthorne, Home ~n Fall River. Many are near to seeing Him for eternity,' for the home is for 'patients with incurable cancer. But last Saturday He was still veiled in bread for them, birds chirped as He passed, flowers shone and children sang. 'r.he occasion was a folk Mass in the women's ward at the home. Rev. Kevin Tripp of

t

St. Patrick's parish was celebrant and the Pebbles from Sacred Hearts Academy provided youth, enthusiasm and song.

"Some here have physical pain, some \lave emotional pain, some are 'fllcing vocational 'decisions," said Father Tripp in his homily. "But all of us share a bas'ic hope and joy because of the risen Christ," The joy flashed in the midst 'of pain as Father Tripp bent over beds, stretchers and wheelchairs with the living bread. "Mary.

this is the body of Christ," he said. "Bernadette, this is the body of Christ," calling each to personal recognition of the Lord.

Each- responded and so in another way did the children looking on'suffering, the family member.s sharing the agoriy of a mother, a father, a grandparent, the Hawthorne Dominicans who staff , the home. No one was untouched by what Albert Schweitzer called "the fellowship of those who bear the mark of pain," It was a memorable Mass. )

Grants, Saturday Mass Prhrilege NEW ULM (NC)-Bishop Alphonse Schladweiler of New Ulm has announced that permission for Catholics to fulfill their Sunday Mass obligation on Saturday evening will be granted to some' parishes which r-equest it.

Bishop Schladweiler, in ..a letter to priests of the Minnesota diocese, .stipulated that such Saturday and holy day eve Masses be celebrated between 5 and 9 P.M. He said application may be made for this privilege "where a real pastoral need exists."

The bishop received the Jlermission from the Holy See, on a five-year experimental basis, to grant the privilege where needed because of the increasing shortage of priests, he explained.
