Mass Participation Primary Work

The Spring Clergy Con ference of all priests engaged in pagtoral work within the Diocese of Fall River heard the Most Reverend Bishop re peat his insistence that every pastor and priest take as his primary priesUy work the full' participation of the faithful in the Sacrifice of every Mass. . Ever since the late Pope P~us XII called for this participation by the laity in the Sacrifice of the Mass by' answering the re sponses proper to t~em, Bishop Connolly has directed that this be introduced into every parish of the Diocese without delay.. . The Bishop has given the lead _ in this regard with every Mass . celebrated by him being a Mass tao which all pr~sent participate .

The Bishop urged his priests not to be deterred or delayed in bringing the faithful to this kind of participation by any conjec ture about the possibility of part of the Mass being cel ebrated in the vernacular. As one of the speakers at the Con ference, Rt. Rev. Thomas F. Walsh, of st. John's Church, At_, tleboro, brought out: "It is either Liturgy or lethargy." At the present, the specific parts of the Mass th'at the con gtegation may recite in English

are: the Gloria, the Credo, the Sanctus and Benedictus, and the triple repetition of the Domine, non sum dignus. At other times, congregational singing should be used as the faithful's method of communal prayer. Four occasions should find the congregation raising their voices in prayerful song at the Introit or entrance hymn, the Offertory, the Communion and a recessional. In mentioning the vernacular, ~he Most Reverend Bishop de. clared that the English-speaking

Hub Physicians Acknowledge Great Work She's been front-page news since her return to the States, she's appeared on television, she's been the cynosure of all eyes at a glitter ing Boston ball-but quiet-voiced Sister Maureen Thomas, M.M. would probably be the first to tell you that an informal chat she had with students at Sacred Hearts Academy in Fall River may have more far-reaching ef fects than any of those. The Maryknoll Sister-doctor, flown from Riberalta, Bolivia to attend the ball whose proceeds were turned over to her, is stay ing at Sacred Hearts Academy until her departure 'on Tuesday. As an alumna of the-Holy Union high school, she chatted with graduating seniors. "We were inspired," reported one girl, and if any of Sister's hearers decide to follow her footsteps, it may well prove one of the most rewarding resul ts of her hectic few days in the Fall River area. "I was dumbfounded," said Sister, of her reaction to the news that St. Luke's Physicians Guild of Boston had chosen her as this year's recipient of the proceeds of an annual charity ball. Ordinarily, she would not have returned to the United States until 1970 for a home visit. She has been in Bolivia since 1960. cardinal Cushing Cardinal Cushing, co-sponsor with St. Luke's Guild of the baU, was present at the occasion and paid high tribute to Sister Maureen Thomas' spirit of edu eation. Touching on the soon-expected ase of the vernacular fur many parts of the Mass, the prelate eommented that if Maryknoll priests entering China 40 years ago had been able to bring the people a liturgy in their own tongue, the Church might have made far greater strides on the continent. Sister Maureen Thomas is as signed to an 18 bed hospital in Riberalta. With the Boston con tribution, she hopes to expand it to 45 bed capacity. The struc ture is of cement, she noted, adding that construction costs

Trees Memorial For Kennedy WASIDNGTON (NC) - Fifty Japanese cherry trees, the kind which blossom into an anuual Spring tourist attraction in the nation's capital, were planted as a memorial to assassinated President Kennedy at a Catholic retreat house in a history steeped suburban setting. The trees, one for each state in the nation, were planted along the driveway to Loyola, Washington archdiocesan re treat house conducted by the Jesuits near Faulkner, Md. Un dersecretary of Interior James K. Carr and Father James A. Martin, S.J., retreat house di rector, o:tf.iciated at the planting. Loyola, 40 miles oustide the nation's capital, is located near the site where the first Jesuit mission in America was located in 1634. The first retreat was held on the site in 1637. The retreat house is on an his toric tract called Huckleberry Estate, which was owned by Tom Jones, who operated a clandestine Confederate mail service be tween Maryland and Virginia during the War Between the States. Jones hid John Wilkes Booth and helped the assassin of Abra ham Lincoln to escape from Huckleberry across the Potomac River into Virginia while Fed era I troops were searching the countryside for him.

Dory that was celebrated by her son, Rev. .James A. Dory of St. Vincent's Home, Fall River, in Holy Name Church, New Bedford. Assisting Father Dury were: Rev. John J. Madden, deacon and Rev. Henry T.

mission to diocesan high schools dictated by a shortage of facili ties to accommodate all who apply. Msgr. .James D. Habiger, dioc_ esan school superintendent, said diocesan high schools "will ad mit that quality of student who will profit most from the school program and the number of stu dents that available space and the school program will best serve." Msgr. Habinger said the tight ened admissions policy was nec essary "in view of the fact that there is not sufficient room in our high schools * * * to provide for all graduates of the elemen_ tary schools, and. we do not have funds necessary for additional capital investments in buildings and equipment." The policy applies to 15 dioc esan high schools with 3,656 students. Msgr. Habinger expressed re gret at the need for restricting admission to the diocesan high schools but added "we do not know ofany other method, un less some program for shared time is provided by public schools." Under shared-time plans, stu dents take some of their courses in church-related schoolS and some in public schools.

Prelate Supports Home Visit Day CHICAGO (NC) - Msgr. Daniel M. Cantwell, chaplain of Friendship House here and of the Chicago Catholic Interracial Council, has urged support of the first National Home Visit Day scheduled for Sunday, April 19. Nearly 100 cities are expected to take part in the movement, started in this city, whereby whites and Negroes visit each other's homes to discuss civil rights on a community level. Noting that he had taken part in such demonmations as the March on Washington last Au gust, Msgr. Cantwell neverthe less said there was a "limit to what we can do on the streets." "Much more can be done in our homes," he said. "This is the significance of this program. I have found no program as ef fective as this one to change. racial attitudes quickly and pro foundly."

Islam 'ConversionS

Says Vocations

Need Critical

Stereotyne Image A nun-teacher at Rosary Hill College in Buffalo has painted a bleak picture of the "nun-image" as it is held by most people. She says that the average person views a sister as a "dull little woman in black who is tensely' re served, afraid to ask questions, rarely thinks an original thought and always is satisfied with the status quo." That is an image, says Sister Mary Paula, that does not represent reality and one that must be destroyed. It is one of the devil's master strokes that he has been able to get across the idea of a sister as a vague creature completely out of this world and bumbling her whimsical way through life. She thus remains a curiosity but is hardly taken seriously when the issues of .life are debated.

The suggestions that Sister Paula has made to change the image and project the correct one are worthwhile. She belives that the sisters must go outside their convent walls more often, should serve On library boards and Red Cross groups and in other posts for which they are admirably suited. Others have put' fo~ard the sug'gestions that sisters have more contact with people, become part of community and civic involvements. ' The sisters, have much to offer in the way not only of goodness of life but emotional balance and professional knowledge and services. It would be a shame if what they have to give goes untaken because people simply do not know them or do not realize all they have to offer.

Unprofessional Atheist For a professed atheist, Comrade Khrushchev does not alway.s follow the party line. Just after the Party has stepped up the promotion of atheism in Russia and has called for more vigor in the denunciation of religion, the Red boss is quoted on his Hungarian trip as making refer ences to God.. Belief in God cannot be easily plucked from the heart by a vote of the Party~ Nor can it be rooted out by sub scribing to the theory that man is satisfied with a plate of goulash now and wishes nothing more. As Pope John pointed out in his Pacem in Terris encyclical, the human heart is not a political animal but has yearnings for peace and love, and these yearnings are from God. \

Even Premier Khrushchev is letting his heart show when he speaks of God. It is most unprofessional for an atheist, of course, but how very human!

Educational Criticism It is good for Catholic educators to take cognizance of what is being said and written about Catholic education its successes and defects. It would be mos.t unfortunate, though if recent criticisms of the Catholic educational sys tem were to put these same educators on the defensive to the degree that they would be spending so much time defending it that they would give Catholic education a negative image, cast it in the role of a system to be apologized for or explained.

The writings of the Popes, the encouragement of the hierarchy, the expectations of parents, the results in the students themselves of Catholic schools, elementary and secondary and on higher levels, give the answer to sugges tions that the Catholic system of education can be done away with. That there is room and need of constant improvement, no one can or will deny. That this is being done must, in all fairness, be also publicized.

'ThnolA.'1h the 'Week <'With the Chu.nch By REV. ROBERT W. HOVD~, Catholic University TODAY-Mass as on Sunday. What does it mean, to keep the spirit of the Easter rites we have celebrated in our life and con duct, as we pray in the Collect of this Mass? What is this "spir it" we must keep in life and con_ duct? Some would say it means we must be' good. Of course we must, but what a reduction of the Gospel this implies - this petty moralism! The spirit of the Easter rites is the spirit of faith, the Spirit who gives faith, the Spirit in whom faith believes TOMORROW - Mass as on Sunday. The prayer after Com munion expresses the relation ship between our public worship at Mass and the re-+ of human activity in God's world. "* * • These most holy mysteries you have given us for the strength ening of our new life * * *" If our new life is the life of faith which triumphs over the world, then worship is no escape, no respite, no little island of para dise. It reaches out to everything and every deed with healing strength. SATURDAY-St. Leo I, Pope, Doctor. The pope, too, is one of the baptized, one of the commu nity of salvation. And this high_ est ministerial office in the Church was given (Gospel) at the same confession of faith made by every baptized person: "Tllou ari the Christ, the Sor. of the living God." We who today honor a great pope honor him as one of \1S and pray for'confirma tion of that faith which is our common joy and blessing.

aim: to make the Lord known in His sacramental acts as well as in the proclamation of His Word. MONDAY - St. Hermenegild, Martyr. "Martyr" means "wit-' ness," and the exultant mood of this Mass of a Martyr in the Easter season reflects the fact that the risen Christ makes us supremely conscious of the value and ultimate triumph of that suffering characteristic of mar tyrs and of witnesses. The persecution in the First Reading, the "trimming clean" of the branch in the Gospel there is no escaping suffering if we would make our lives count toward a constructive shaping of our world in Christ. But we can understand its necessity, and we can trust in its victory. TUESDAY - st. Justin, Mar tyr. Again that suffering which appears to the world as folly is thp vocation the Christian em braces in the Eucharist today (First Reading, Alleluia). The world we live in is changing too fast, undergoing too much up rooting, for anything less than fuli commitment to the self giving of the Cross to really mean anything, to really speak to human beings.

WEDNESDAY - Mass on Sunday. "So, on the cross, his own body' took the weight of our sins" (First Reading). This is how we know Him-through His love. This is how we know each other-through 'lur love. To the Negro conscious of His dignity, to the destitute no longer re signed to fate, our words sound hollow until the Eucharist teaches us to break the bread of our bodies for their sakes, to begin to bear the weight of our sins against them.

Dedicate Haven For Handicapped WAKEFIELD (NC) - Good Shepherd Manor, haven for the multiple handicapped, will be dedicated here Sunday by Bish_ op Clarence G. Issenmann as the second foundation of the Little Brothers of the Good Shepherd in the Columbus, Ohio diocese. Situated on a 10-acre tract, the manor formerly was a public school built during the 1956-59 "atomic boom" here. Lack of students forced abandonment of the school, which was declared surplus property by the Pike County Board of Education and eventually sold to the brother. hood for $65,000. The property was refurbished at a cost of $200,000 to accommodate 100 physically and mentally handi capped young men. The Brothers also operate St. Martin's Home for the indigent in Columbus. The manor is licensed by Ohio as a nursing home. It was opened last October and now has 65 res_ idents. The Brothers expect it will reach its eapacity ~ September.

VATICAN CITY (NC) -The Church's need for religious vo cations has never been greater than it is today, said Father God. frey Poage, C.P., director of the Pontifical Office for Religious Vocations, which bas been en trusted with the special task ol promoting vocations througholli the world. "Because the need is so very great, Pope Paul VI has ordered a worldwide day of prayer on Sunday, April 12 for both the western and eastern Catholic Church, and I am happy to say the response has been wonder ful," said the former vocations d ire c tor of the Passionist Fathers' Chicago province. First Step Holding a sheaf of letters from religious superiors and apostOlic delegates and nuncios from dozens of nations, Father Poage said the daylong observance will include Mass for vocations and sermons on the subject in every Catholic parish religious house. It fulfills the first step in the program for stimulating youth to give their lives to God, he said. "The first step in any voca tions program is prayer," Father Poage said. "We need prayers in the whole world to reverse the downward trend in vocations. When you consider that one country, the United States, out of 95 nations accounts for 50% of all religious vocations you begin to see the dimensions of the problem."

Among those preseni for the opening session were Giuseppe Cardinal Pizzardo, Prefect of the Sacred Congregation of Seminaries and Universities, and Cardinal protector of the fed eration, and Fernando Cardinal Cento, who is president of the ecumenical council's Commis sion for the Lay Apostolate, the Press and Entertainment. Bishop Emilio Guano of Leg horn, who gave the keynote ad dress, told the young women that the Catholic Church is d0 ing its best "to remove frontieq through ecumenism." He said however, that there are many barriers which must be :roemoved, even internallY. "Within the Chureh itself there are obstacles to be overcome which arise particularly from differences in outlook," he said.

Delaware Keeps Bible Reading DOVER (NC) - Delaware's Gov. EI'bert N. Garvel believes Bible reading will continue in this state's public schools as long as he is in office. Meeting with teenagers of the Wilmington Jewish Community Youth Center, he discussed the Delaware law which requires Bible reading in the public schools. Sue Lipsky, high school sophomore, 'asked the' Governor what he would do if a court suit now in progresli was resolved in favor of banning Bible reading. "The decision, of course, will be made by the State Board of

Education," Carvel said. "The state will appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court and decision by that body probably will not come within my term of office. "While the Supreme Court is m'aking its decision," the Gov ernor anticipated, "Delaware will probably devise some means for providing prayer in its pub lic schools until the decision is announced. Delaware probably will not ban Bible reading and prayer in its school until the Supreme Court rules against it."

Family church in the heart of downtown Anchorage, assured Archbishop Thomas A. Connol ly of Seattle that there was lit tle or no damage to any of the chUrch structures in Anchorage. Holy Family church, a rein. forced concrete and steel struc ture, was undamaged for the most part except for the loss of a chimney. Th.. chimney's top bricks were propelled as if from a huge rifle through the roof and windows of the neighboring rectory. The frame rectory was not too greatly damaged. Furniture was upset, cupboards' and bookcases were emptied of their contents. The line of demarcation ~ tween the areas that suffered the most damage in the city and the contiguous areaS that. re mained practically undamag~ 'was very sharply di-awn, said: Msgr.

Minor Damage '!'here were no casualtfes among the parishioners of either Holy Family parish or' the neighboring St. Anthony's par ish in charge of Fathers Robert Whelan, S.J. 'and Joseph Shirey, S.J. Ortly minor damage was sustained by acme structures of St. Anthony's parish. Due to the fact that Holy Family church was in the con demned downtown area subse quently cordoned off by the Alaska National Guard, all ser vices in the church were can celled. Easter Sunday Masses were offered in the cafeteria of the million dollar Catholic jun ior high school in one of the sUburban areas of Anchorage. The school received little or no damage. .

The point at issue is the new constitution proposed by Prime Minister Giorgio Borg Oliver which preserves the favored position long held by the Church on this small Mediter ranean island that is 98% Cath olic. The constitution as it now stands is opposed by Malta's Labor party, headed by former Prime Minister Dom Mintoff, which wants to break the tradi tional ties between the Church and the civil government. For Referendum The constitution is now being debated by Malta's Parliament. If Parliament approves the doc. ument-and approval is almost a certainty, since Borg Oliver's party is represented I;>y the majority of the delegates-then the constitution will be the SUb_ ject of a public referendum, probably in the first week of

The Good Left tlbdorie"

Urges Catholic InY~.Yem~nt .In Secular Organizations

Monop,oUze Time, Energy' My reason for stressing this point ,is that traditionf\llY.,there ,has too ,often been a 'tendencY to think of the lay apostolate al most exclusively in terms of membership in a Catholic or ganization, 'and a parallel ten dency to judge the Catholicity of the individual layman by the degree of his involvement in Catholic organizations rather than by the effectiveness of his apostolate in secular society. Responsible Layman By the same token, some eatholic organizations have had • tendency to try to monopolize the time and energy of their . lIlem bers instead of encouraging them to think of their member- '

The result is that many of our "best" Catholics, so-called, those who are most active in Catholic organizations, are almost com pletely isolated from the main stream of American life and are not carrying their weight in secular society. Perhaps one reason for this is that the lay apostolate has too often been thought, of almost exclusively as a specifically reli_ gious apostolate related to and directed by the hierarchy. The inadequacy of such a lim ited concept of the layman's in volvement in the apostolate of the Church was' pointed out very forcefully dur.ing the sec.' ond session of Vatican Council II by Bishop Mark" McGrath, then Auxiliary of Panama City, in a speech entitled "The Re sponsible Layman in the World." Bishop McGrath reminded 'the Fathers ,of the Council that "the whole Christian life of the lay man is not summed, up in' his relationship to the apostolate of the heirarchy, even though this collaboration of the laity in works which are directly or in directly religious is of the high. est importance, especially in our areas where priests are so few.

't',

God Love You . By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen... D.D. In the beautiful parable of the Good Samaritan in the New Testament, there ar~ sav,eral characters: 1. The victinis of tb.e world's injustice, symbolized by the man who was robbed and beaten. .' 2. The respectable, sueh as the priest and the levite who ful filled all duties of their state in life, but in the face of poverty and suffering merely "looked the other way" and hustled off. 3. The innkeeper, who doe!! a work of kindness, provided he is paid for it. 4. The Good Samaritan, who had compassion which, in the original Greek, means his heart went out to one. Another man'. pain was real; there was something passionate about his compas sion.

By Msgr. George G. Higgins The 1964 President's Conference of the National Coun cil of Catholr-c Men, which was held in Washington March 19-22, laid great stress on the role of the diocesan men's council in the social apostolate of the Ohurch, including in volvement in such issues as ship in Catholic lay organiza eivil rights, the population tions as a preparation for more problem, poverty, business effective service in the secular ethics, international affairs, world. and world peace. The diocesan council, the Conference said, should, seek to "develop a bet ter understand ing of the lay man's primary role in witness-' ing Christ in the secular' or 'der;" And in eoping with so dal problems, it added, the 'diocesan council ' should empha size the "common good" in these areas rather than the "CathOlic stake" in them and should seek brotherly relationship with eivic organizations and groups representing other faiths. For Apostolic ,Action, ,This is an excellent policy statement as far as it goes.. but it doesn't go quite far enough Social action programs carried out ~y dlOce,san men;s c~:nincils or similar lay organizat,ions, whether on their own initi;lt~ve or in cooperation with groups representing other ~aiths, are • ot only desirable but necessary. In the fimll analysis, however, the primary role of Catholic or ganizations in ,the field of -social reform-at least in a pluralistic society such as our own-is to help prepare their members for more effective apostolic action in the secular v'orld. Primary Role Another way of saying the llame thing is that Catholic lay organizations in the field of aocial reform should not be thought of as a substitute for trade unions, employers organ izations, professional associa-' tions, political parties, or what have you. On the contrary, the effective DeSS of a Catholic lay organiza tion in the social apostola te 8hould be measured, normally, not so much by the scope of its own action programs in the field or social reform, but rather by the involvement of its members in the above mentioned secular organizations and by their suc eess in helping, these secular organizations to develop more effective programs of their own. This is not to say, of. course, that Catholic' lay organizations should not carryon any action programs, under their owp aus pices, in the field of social re form, but merely to suggest, as noted above, that their primary role is that of help,ing to prepare their members for,more effec tive action in the ~ecular world.,

So in the world today, there are those who read of the world's poverty .and mumble in a melancholy way: "What a pity." 'Others in holY rage Shout: t'Wbat a shame." But they look and pass' by~ Thus to the robbers, the traveler was a victim to be exploited; to the priest and :the levite, a nuisance to be evaded; to the innkeeper, a business proposition; to the Samaritan. a neighbor to be helped.

Honor ,Pastor In, fairhaven

Many of us will lose our souls not be cause of the evil ,that we have done, but because of the good which we ,have left undone. The Master's condemnation fell upon those in the parable who did nothing. No oppressive 'wrongs are mentioned in the story of the rich man Who' feasted sump tuously while Lazarus, the' leper, ,lay at his gate. The indictment was only in what the rich man left undone. "No destructive vices are reported to, those who are condemne9- on the Last Day. The indictment will be the ch;lrge of uselessnellS: "I was hungry and you gave Me not to eat., I was thirsty and you gave Me not to drink. I was a stranger and you took 'Me not in; naked and your clothed' Me" not; sick and in prison and you visited Me not."

That's when some 1,000 teen agers will pile into 22 buses for a trip to the opening of the New -York World's Fair. The event is sponsored by the Diocesan CYO and Rev. Walter Sullivan, in charge, thinks that his group may well be one of the largest "single groups to represent any area in the nation at the 'fair." Youths from New Bedford, Taunton, Attleboro and Fall River and their surrounding areas will make the trip. They'll be at the Fair for the entire day of Thursday, April 23 and re tum to the Diocese on Friday.

Official Chaplain

Every Sermon Is Source Of Profit for Listener

Former Fireman Serves International

Fire Fighters Association

SAN ANTONIO (NC)-Father Frank J. Foster, erstwhile fire man and son of a fireman, has been appointed official' chaplain by the International Association of Fire Fighters. Father Foster, assistant pastor at St. Benedict's church here, served as a full-fledged fireman while working his way through the seminary in the 1930s. His father, the late Charles E. Fos ter served 40 years and became chief of the Astoria, Ore., fire department. It was there Father Foster served as a fireman dur ing Summer vacations of his seminary days. 'When he was ordained in 1937,

By Joseph T. McGloin, S.J. At one stage of my priestly life, I was stationed in a parish for seven months. Frankly, I found this a long time, but among the many things I managed to learn in this situ ation was the fact that it is a lot more difficult to give a sermon to the same audience work that even those observant Sunday after Sunday than it parishioners who make it their is to step in for a single talk. avocation to keep track of their And so, while I recognized a pastors don't notice it.

priest's responsibility to instruct his parishioners, I picked up a lot of sympathy. for him as well. And so, when I h ear people griping about sermons today I get a little miffed, either because they're right or because they don't know the whole story. When you stand before a con gregation in a church, you get quite a view. You see the inter ested, the eager who seem to absorb all you're saying (and the over-eager who nod agree ment at everything), the indif ferent whose eyes are glassy with thoughts miles aways, and those nodders whose thougJ:lts have given way to their dreams. Once a Week The fact is that most people only get this one instruction a week in their faith. And so, even if this were the most poor_ ly presented instruction in his tory, they ought to be trying to get something out of it. The hungry man appreciates a fulI meal. But if the only thing available is crumbs, he's willing to take those to tide him over until a good meal comes along. In fact, he'd better take them or he'lI be gone before the de cent meal shows up. Certainly you will sometimes encounter the priest who is an excellent speaker, with much to say, a forceful, clear way of saying it, and an obvious ability to organize the matter. Not that he necessarily has great talents, but he uses what he does have to the full. If, of course, he can combine great talent with ·the spirit of work and humility and prayer and zeal, he· is one in a million. Active Acceptance It is important, however, evrn when you encounter the priest who is an excellent speaker, that you don't just lis ten in admiration at his words, nor only wish that one of your friends could hear him, but that you allDw his thoughts to get into your mind. It won't do you any gQod just to admire and enjoy him as a performer, but your .knowledge and your life have to become deeper: and better because of your active acceptance of what he has to say. But what if he isn't a very good speaker at all? Well, that n:ay make it harder to listen to him, but it still doesn't erase the law of charity. Maybe, moreover, there's some good reason for his not being too skilled at speaking. He may be dead beat, for one thing. A lot of priests do so much hidden

Gets High Rating CHICAGO (NC)-A half-hour film on the life of a postulant in the Little Company of Mary in Chicago achieved one of the highest ratings ever made for a public affairs television show for this city. Entitled "The Way fDr Edie," the film was produced by Father John S. Banahan of the Archdiocese Communications Center and was seen in 230,000 homes.

No Right to Judge Or it may be that he's just too busy to prepare well enough. (I'm not saying that this should be, nor that it may not be his own fault, nor t!lat he' couldn't alleviate the situation with lay help. But maybe, on the other hand, it isn't his fault, and the lay help, other than vocal" around his parish is close to zero.) At any rate, you have no more right to judge that a priest's in ability to preach well is culpable than anyone has to consider your drawbacks such. The main difference here is that you don't have to get up and parade your defects before the whole parish. Two Extremes Now a sermon can be ineffec tual in any number of ways, but perhaps the two most common extremes would be either an over-enthusiasm or an over dullness, a ranting absorption in immorality, say, with never a thought of the love of God, or a droning outline of the Baltimore Catechism with no reference to the loveliness of God's Word. But even where one of these extremes seems to obtain, don't be too sure. You can't really be certain a. priest isn't saying any thing worthwhile until you an alyze what he does say. The very least you can say about a sermon is that, if God can bring good out of evil, you can do the same thing with a sermon. There never has been and never will be a sermon, no matter how poorly prepared or how annoyingly presented, that can't be a source of profit for you-at least negatively. By "negatively," I mean you can at least get in some praying if the sermon has absolutely nothing for you. God's Mediator Good or bad, resonant or squeaky, orderly or scattered, interesting or just plain dull, this priest before you is still a mediator between God and man, bringing God down to man and trying to elevate man to God. God never. told you every priest would thrill you with his preaching. But He did tell you to listen. "He who hears yol,l," He said, "hears Me. And he who despises you, despises Me * * * " So, for better or worse, this man is God's representative, and one that God wants you to make use of - either for the practice of patience and charity, or for knowledge and virtue. In either case, you're lucky.

Primary Work Continued from Page One time for instruction of the laity. The Bishop reminded his priests that the whole sermon plan of 1959 centered around the Liturgy and aimed at pro moting a better understanding of it by both priests and laity. He brought out, too, how the late Pope John loved to talk of the Liturgy and seldom gave an ad. dress without referring to the Mass of the day-its feast or text. Most Rev. James J. Gerrard, D.D., V.G., Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese and Diocesan Mod erator of Theological Confer enCElli conductea the Conference.

Father Foster recalled, '"I was presented an honorary life membership in the organization and accepted appointment as chaplain of the Oregon State Firefighters Association." Transferred to Texas in 1949 as assist~nt pastor at Hallets ville, Father Foster said he joined the town's volunteer fire department as a working mem ber and chaplain. He helped or. ganize the San Antonio fire fighters' association. The international association is affiliated with the AFL-CIO and has some 100,000 members in the U. S., Canada, Puerto Rico and the Canal Zone.

FATHER FOSTER

Favors Colleges Under Control Of Laymen ATLANTIC CITY (NC) The head of the organization of Catholic college educators said here he would like to see some first rate Catholic col leges begun under lay adminis tration and control. Msgr. Alfred F. Horrigan said they would be a stimulating new dimension to higher education and a powerful force in helping laymen emergt in Catholic higher education. The monsignor is president of Bellarmine College, Louisville, Ky., and president of the Col lege and University Department of the National Catholic Educa tional Association. . M s gr. Horrigan expressed agreement with an earlier con vention speech by Father Paul Reinert, S.J., president of St. Louis (Mo.) University, who ar gued that Catholic higher edu cation must voluntarily restrict its growth to avoid reaching a point w her e resources are stretched so thinly that quality is seriously impaired. But Msgr. Horrjgan added: HI am not sure that this premise automatically justifies the con clusion that here should be a more or less indefinite morato rium upon the establishment of new Catholic institutions of higher education." Add New Dimension He said the nation is' moving intD its greatest period of ex pansion of higher education. Catholic education should offer imaginative responses, he said, adding: "I think it is regrettable that we have in this country no Cath olic institutions of higher learn-, ing under full lay control * * *. I see no convincing reason why the personnel and financial sup port could not be .found within the next decade to establish, say, half a dozen first rate Catholic colleges in judiciously selected areas of the country which would be altogether under lay control and administration. "They would add a stimulating and valuable new dimension to Catholic higher education in this country*' *. * Without undertak ings of this character, the emer_ gence of the layman in Catholic higher education may well re main an incomplete and frustra ting phenomenon."

Annual Supper St. Vincent's Alumni and Friends will sponsor their an nual chicken pie supper at 6 Saturday night, April 11 at St. Vincent's Home, North Main Street, Fall River. Baked goods will be sold at that time. Miss Jacqueline Porta is chairman. The unit will hold a meeting at 7:00 Thursday night, May 'l, also at the home.

Bishop Says Liturgy Participation

Primary Pastoral Work in Diocese

HIt is the duty of all pastors to ensure that the faithful take part in the liturgy, fully aware of what they are doing," Rt. Rev. Thomas F. Walsh pastor of St. John's Church. Attleboro, told the diocesan clergy and mem bers of the religious orders doing parochial work at the an nual Spring clerical conference at Jesus Mary Academy audi torium in Fall River. Msgr. Walsh's talk was part of a program that the Most Rev erend Bishop directed to inten sify the efforts of clergy and laity in the liturgical worship at all masses in all parishes of the diocese. Rev. Luiz G. Mendonca, ad ministrator of Our Lady of Health in Fall River, supple mented the remarks of the At tleboro prelate by outlining the part played by the laity in the new liturgical movement as directed by the Sacred Consti tution on the Liturgy as pro mulgated by Pope Paul VI. Active participation in the liturgy was ordered by Bishop Connolly in 1958 and has re ceived his constant support. Monsignor Walsh Taking for his theme, "The Pastor of Souls and the Sacred Liturgy," Monsignor Walsh em phacized that "the pastor of souls must realize that when the Liturgy is celebrated something more is required than the mere observance of the laws con cerning the -valid and licit celebration. It is their duty to be certain that the faithful ac tively engage in the Rite and thus become enriched by its ef fects. It is the earnest wish of the Church that all the faithful should be led to that full, con scious and active participation in the liturgical celebrations, which is demanded by the very nature of the Liturgy."

Scout leaders' Award Sunday Awards to adults outstanding in youth work in the Fall River Diocese will be made at the fifth annual St. George banquet, to be held at 6:30 Sunday night, April 26 at the Kennedy Center, New Bedford. Bishop Connolly will confer the St. George medal, the St. Anne medal, and the Felician award on leaders in Boy and Girl Scouting, Campfire Girls and Junior Daughters of Isa bella. The awards recognize an outstanding contribution to the spiritual development of Cath olic youth under auspices of the various organizations. Principal speaker for the oc casion will be Rev. James A. Clark, Assistant Director of the Latin America Bureau of the National Catholic Welfare Con ference. A former Scout chap lain in the Fall River Diocese he is now active in the P AVLA program, which sends volunteers to Latin America. The Catholic Committee on Scouting, directed by Rev. Wal ter SUllivan, Diocesan Chaplain, is in charge of the annual award banquet.

Plans Dance Bishop Cassidy General As sembly, Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus, will hold its an nual supper and Spring dance Saturday night, May 9 at the Silver Gull restaurant, Matta poisett. A social hour will take place from 6 to 7, with supper and dancing to follow, accordb;lg to announcement made by Leo A. Fredette, chairman. Mrs. Fre dette and Mrs. Anthony F. Fer areira. whose husband is Faith ful Outer Sentinel for the As sembly, will be hostesses.

"S u eh participation," con tinued the Attleboro Prelate, "by the Christian people as a 'chosen race, a royal priesthood, a re deemed people' is their right by reason of their baptism. So, then, in the restoration and promotion of the Sacred Liturgy active participation by all the people is the aim to be con sidered above all else. This H; the primary and the indispen sable source from which the faithful are to derive the Chris tian spirit. Therefore, pastors of souls must zealously strive to achieve this by the necessary in_ structions. Monsignor Walsh pointed out that only by intensifying parti cipation of the faithful entrusted to their care will pastors be per forming one of the duties of a faithful dispenser of the mys teries of God and by strongly en couraging all to receive the Eucharist at every Mass will the perfect form of participation take place. • Concluding with a quotation from the Motu Proprio of Pope Paul VI, the speaker observed that all "the pre s c rip t ion s -should be effected immediately." Father Mendonca "A revised liturgy would be more meaningful to the faithful and w 0 u I d strengthen and deepen their spritual lives," Father Mendonca told the cleri cal gathering. "However, the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, while adapting "liturgy to the culture and traditions of peoples, re peatedly indicates that the Church 'respects and fosters the genius and talents of other races and peoples and studies with sympathy and if possible pre serves intact and even admits into the liturgy itself anything of these peoples' way of life which is not indissolubly bound up wit h superstitution and error, so long as they harmonise with its true and authentic spirit." "The restoration and promo tion of the sacred liturgy, full and active participation by all the people is the aim tQ be con sidered before all else * * * active participation in liturgical cele brations is demanded by the very nature of the liturgy. It is their right and duty by reason of their Baptism and consequent membership in the Mystical Body of Christ to participate as the chosen race." Father Mendonca continued: "The layman needs to be edu cated in the theology of the Mystical Body. He needs to hear sermons which explain to him that he is truly offering the Mass in his own way, that he performs the highest act of wor ship when he unites with Christ, with the priest and with his fellow members of the Mystical Body in offering corporate wor ship to God."

Continued from Page One hearers "to take an attitude toward the - truth proclaimed, make a decision with regard to it; otherwise, it is only a lec ture." Father Gerard S. Sloyan, also of the Catholic University, told the preachers that "the easiest, and in a way the least effective thing we can do" about people'. need for salvation "is to talk about it with them." "We can give chatty sermons that find people at the level of daily life and leave them there; homey moralizing in the speech of every day, the well worn _phrases that make the Catholic feel at bome i'l't church. We can leave our people with the con viction that we have a basic sympathy for them, but also that we can do little for them except exhort them to "be good,'" he said. Change Hea'l'eis None of the ancient prophets would have been satisfied to deal with people on this comfor table human level, Father Sloyan pointed out. "The highest title one of them could hope for was 'Troubler of Israel.' Neither John the Baptist nor above all, Jesus our Lord, would understand what it meant to leave the hearer of God's word unchanged. Paul would find the notion of a word spoken in Christ's name that made no difference in lives in comprehensible."

The Brazilian Jew was one of the most intelli_ gent, cordial and helpful people we encountered. He lives in Sao Paulo, and one day he asked w h e the r we would care to ride out to one of the 'shanty towns which ring the city, t9 meet some American nuns. He explained that he was helping them with a building project. We had no notion who these nuns were, but were eager to see a mission project func tioning. The convent was on a rise of ground, an old house of some size and character which had once been isolated in rural quiet. Around it was a fine stand of trees and shrubbery. The shade was a blessing after the brazen glare in the treeless slum under the cloudless sky. As we drove up, our Brazilian friend 'casually remarked, "I think that one of .

The prelate said the Catholic school system is facing "certain difficulties" which he listed as lack of funds space and teach ers. But he insisted they are not insurmountable no- greater. than those when the system began more than 100 years ago. "Let us not panic and elimi nate certain grades or become selective and ruin the school system our people have estab:" lished in sacrifice and generos ity," he said. "Let us not minimize or un dersell our magnificent and gen_ erous lay people who are taking

even greater. part in the Ufe .. the Church and who have car ried the double burden of taxa tion . for so many years in order to maintain our unique position in education in this free country of ours," he said. Enrollment Increases The Archbishop cited growth statistics of Catholic schools, such as the 125 per cent enroll. ment increase as' against less than 50 per cent in publiic schools in recent years. "Would this have happened if our schools had failed or been found wanting?" '. commented. "If there is one single factor that brought pilgrims, founding fathers and others to this soil. it was precisely religion. Educa tion divorced from religion is a betrayal far worse than Bene dict Arnold's," he declared.

Says Chastity Is Principal Means

Of Combatting Venereal Disease

LONDON (NC) - Th.e British Medical Association has declared bluntly that chastity should be the principal means of com batting venereal disease. In a report dealing with the nationwide increase in venereal disease, especially among the young, the BMA stated: "The Christian ideal of chas tity is of the utmost importance to society. Religious instruction has a part to play in helping boys and girls to find a firm basis for sexual morality based on chastity before marriage and fidelity within it." Dr. David Brown, chairman of the special committee that drew up the report, told a press con ference that the committee was unanimous in its support of the ideal of chastity. "It is still the ideal to be aimed at," he said. "We believe extra-maritt\l and pre-marital intercourse to be wholly bad." The weakening of the ideal of chastity was listed first among the causes of promiscuity among the young. Other causes noted were: the failure of adult society to set an example, the harmful influence of pornography, the desire among girls to be as in dependent as boys, earlier phy sical maturation, alcohol, all night parties, and concern over the hydrogen bomb. Education Inadequate The committee agreed that sex education in Britain is inade quate and suggested that teach ers and parents be trained in methods of imp art i n g such knowledge. Dr. Brown said the committee was worried about the increase in venereal disease among the young.

"There is hardly a disease about which we know more," he Ila·id. "Wt! know its cause. We know the means of transmission, and in the past two decades we have known the cure. Yet we are not preventing it as we should be able to do. V.D. brings misery and degredation to young people, and I am in favor of the utmost publicity about it."
