Bishop's Message

April 16, 1982 Dearly beloved in Christ, . In this special edition, our Diocesan newspaper, The Anchor, happily celebrates its Silver Jubilee, marking tWl;!nty-five faithful years as an instrument for the instruction, formation and sanctification of the faithful of the Diocese of Fall River. From the time when my predecessor as Ordinary, Bishop Connolly, was inspired to found a Diocesan newspaper a quarter of a century ago until this very edition, The Anchor has come into thousands upon thousands of households throughout our region, proclaiming the Gospel and serving as a cohesive bond of unity for readers from one end of the Diocese to the other.

twenty.fifth anniversary edititon

Of late, our beloved Pope John Paul II has reaffirmed the extraordinary importance of the Cat40lic press in the mission of the Church. Addressing a group of bishops on January 4, 1982, the Sovereign Pontiff spoke of our conviction that everyone, redeemed and loved by the Lord, is called to truth. The Holy Father suggested that the role of Jhe Catholic press in reflecting the truth is -more -importaIlCtoday .than ever before, both for' the.· enlightenment of consciences and for the dispeiling of false interpretations and insinuations. The Pope identified the Catholic press as an instrumentality of the magisterium, serving "to bring about in the reader that development of judgment which bririgs him into liberating and saving truth." We take a measure of consolation in the knowledge that The Anchor has served so very well in fulfilling the Holy Father's ~raphic description of the task of the Catholic newspaper. The title of our Diocesan weekly, The Anchor, is indicative of the intent and the expectations of all who are concerned with its publication. Symbol of the virtue of hope, an anchor stabilizes and secures a vessel, providing protection from the swirling currents and tides which could bring danger and harm. Here in southeastern Massachusetts, where our proximity to the sea .makes such a symbolic title all the more comprehensive and vivid, we thank Almighty Go~ for the security and stability which The Anchor has provided these many years as we move along on our voyage of faith and life. On this significant anniversary, we pray with confidence to the Heavenly Father that the apostolate of our Diocesan newspaper will continue, strong and faithful, for the many blessed years to come, helping all in our Diocese to an obedience of informed and vibrant faith. Devotedly yours in Christ,

Bishop of Fall River

The Anchor's early years

Continued from Page Two ing of Bishop Connolly and dio cesan priests. Noting that national and world coverage would be supplied by the National Catholic News Ser vice, Golden pointed out that no metropolitan newspaper had as many "reporters" of newsworthy items as potentially existed in . the diocesan clergy. He asked the priests to alert parish leaders to this new avenue of publicity for their activities. . "We do hope. to bring the peo ple of Provincetown closer to the people of Marisfield and the Attleboros by reporting com" pletely all newsworthy activi ties," Golden told the priests. . "This newspaper, an instrum ent of Catholic ACtion, will bring the church's teachings on philoso phy and theology to the lay peo ple," he said. "We ... appreciate the chal lenge, posed by the. tremendous task we are about to undertake," continued Golden. "With your cooperation,· we will provide , each home in the diocese with something worthwhile - a paper which will be a credit to the dio cese - and together we will conquer the challenge." Saying that "everybody was great" and he received "unbe lievable cooperation" from every one associated· with the news paper, Msgr. Shalloo neverthe less paid special tribute to his

longtime associate, Father Dris coll. "Many priests used his editor ials as takeoff points for their Sunday sermons," he said, add ing that Father Driscoll's com~ ments were so tightly written "it· was impossible to cut them. If they were occasionally a line or two long, we'd simply reduce the size of the masthead for that' week." How· many hours a week did Msgr. Shal100 put in at The Anchor? "Fourteen hundred" was his quick reply. In truth, the paper. was never far from his mind at all those 18 years. And what does he see as the future, for his creation? "As long as there's a need, there's a future," were. his re assuring words. "People still want to sit iri a chair and read." One last question: Who had the inSl>iration to call the news paper of a coastal diocese The Anchor? Loquacious Msgr. Shalloo turned taciturn.· "Avoid giving names," he muttered, then turn ed around and did just that. "As soon as the' nam.e was mentioned to Bishop Connolly," he said, "he gave us the quote from St. Paul, carried on the front page for many years: An anchor of the SOUl, sure and firm,"

"We have an informal assistance net work," she said, "and feel free to call each other up for advice or information as necessary." , For years, she said, she was the only woman advertising ex ecutive at Catholic Press Asso ciation conventions. "When the advertising sessions started," she recalled, "the chairman would say 'Gentlemen :- and Rosemary - may I have your attention?'" Nowadays, she says, many more women are in advertising and she finds them "sharp and quick." Another plus of CPA member ship has been the opportunity it gives her to travel.

Memories of an Anchorite By Pat McGowan

The dictionary says an anchorite is one who lives in seclusion, usually for religious reasons. Half that definition applies to The Anchor's quite sociable staff. What we do is for religious reasons but we are seldom accused of being seclusive. Sometimes we wish the whole definition applied to us, however. Like when people call to complain about the new Code of Canon Law ("How come you put that out without the pope knowing about it?"); or to gripe that we print far toomuch or not nearly enough about a) the charismatic renewal b) peace and justice issues c) uiarriage and the family d) abortion and birth control. Most of the time, though, it's pretty nice being our brand of Anchorite. I speak from the ex.,ert~ of 24 years, 18 parttime, six fulltime. Not many people begin their journalism career from a hospital bed, but that's how it was with me. I was at St. Anne's Hospital, relaxing after the birth of daughter number 2 <and those were the days, ladies - sheets an<J pillowcases hand-embroide~ by the sisters and Sister assure every mother that hers was the most beautiful baby St. Anne's had ever been privileged to usher into' the world).

Anyway, in came Monsignor Daniel Shalloo, then Anchor gen路 eral manager, for what I thought was simply a pastoral visit. But somewhere along the line he slipped in an assignment to cover a CYO meeting. Things continued from there. For 18 years the job was parttime, woven around the arrival and upbringing of seven children and made considerably easier because' of living across the street from The Anchor's editorial offices. As the children got older, messenger service was' pretty

A few years ago she crossed the Taunton River to Somerset, lil\ere she belongs to St. Thomas More pllrish, coincidentally pastored by Msgr. John J .. Regan, The Anchor's financial administrator. In 1970 she received the Marian Award for distinguished service to the diocese. Looking back over -1hat ser~ vice, now in its 26th year, she speaks gJowingly of The An路 chor's editors.

Rosemary. then and now, the glue that holds The Anchor together, and her cohorts, first Collette Burkett, now in Cali. fornia, then Carol Bennett, now in Texas, were the only fulltime Anchorites. The rest of us were parttime and sometimes didn't see each other for weeks on end. Our common point of reference was "the chair," a battered wooden object at the editorial door, ready to receive our copy for the printer. Anyone going in the direction of that printer. Leary Press, of Fall River for nearly all our 25 years, was dl1ty bound to take along the latest offerings The parttimers included Msgr. Shalloo, editorialist Father John P. Driscoll and Father John Fol路 ster. Very important too were editor Hughie Golden. and Latin scholar and walking reference on style and usage John T. Crowley, both now deceased. Saturday mornings were usually a gathering time, when John, Hughie and Msgr. Shalloo held strategy sessions. Occasionally Bishop James L.

At that time The Anchor offices, in what was once a millowner's elegant home in Fall River's Highlands section, were bare and spare. The wooden floors were splintery, my wooden chair uncompromisingly upright. Du~ng .my parttime years I didn't have a desk and shared a typewriter. Of recent.years, however, The Anchor has glamorized itself a bit. We now have curtains, carpeting and more comfortable chairs. And Rosemary has two coworkers, Lucille Fontaine and Linda Forcier, to deal with the never--ending chores of circulation and mailing.

Advantages of being an Anchorite are many, not least of which is working with the C~ur rent editor. _The situation does not exist for which he cannot fashion a one-liner and his effervescent personality adds fizz to the weekly round, despite the fact that The Anchor's is only one of the many hats he wears.

close friendships with people met as interview subjects. And a special gift has been the development of a largely rose-colored view of the world contributed to by hundreds of diocesan Catholics. What a lovely lot: priests, sisters, kids, parents, singles, marrieds, leaven in the dough, stumbling sometimes but basically hanging in there, building the, Kingdom. Of course there have been many interesting experiences over the years but a standout remains a 1963 interview with the late Msgr.

. THE ANCHO~~An'niversary Edition-Fri., April 16, 1982

How The Anchor's published It would be hard to improve on Father John Foister's descrip tion of the weekly job of putting out The Anchor: Acting editor for 14 months during the 1970s, he wrote: "The publication of The Anchor is an ongoing, con stant apostolate under the press ure of the human unexpected in news and the unsympathetic and unchanging deadline.

"In all the hectic happenings of each day, The Anchor staff attempts to bring meaning and value to the whirlwind of daily history, anxious tensions, crying needs. It attempts in all this busy loudness and echo to make clear the church's constant effort to explain, to unify and to give spirit." That's why it's done. But how does news get from the reporter's notebook or the news wire to the newspaper you're holding? Other papers may have differ ing procedures, but at The An chor each week's issue begins with a newsprint dummy of the paper-to-be and a schedule sheet listing all regular features plus "extra" stories and features available for use if needed. _As each feature, such as "Know Your Faith" or "On Rec ord," Is prepared for the printer, it is checked off the schedule sheet.

The major reward, however, that The Anchor has given me and my husband is our beautiful Chinese daughter. In February, 1963, I localized a story on the need of homes for Korean and Chinese orphans. "For travel and processing costs averaging $315 to $400, far less than the cost of a new car, a family in the Fall River diocese can welcome one of these small members of the Mystical Body into its home and heart," I wrote. _ The thought haunted our own family and soon we 'found' our selves embarked on the' adven- " ture of adoption. In nine months, just as for any baby~ we added Moy Moy to our brood. Since then she· has' been a constant delight. Thank you; Anchor.

THE ANCHOR-Anniversary Editi~n':':'F~'i':," April 16, 1982'

.The .story of 25 years

Continued from page 32 came in December of The An chor's first year, when Pope Pius XU stated in an address to the International Congress of Anes thetists that "one.is obliged to use only ordinary means to pro long his life." A front-page article by famed moral theologian Father Francis J. Connell, CSSR noted that "this is the teaching of Catholic Church as now proclaimed by the Vicar of Christ. It is a middle course between the pagan theory of euthanasia that would allow a person 'suffering from a hope less ailment to be put to death by some direct mean's and tne theory that every possible means must be used to keep a person alive, even when death would 'be a relief." Also in that December The Anchor began its long tradition of announcing the ann'ual Bish op's 8all, even then a cherished diocesan annual event. Playing for the 1958 ball was Lester Lanin,"the number one band leader of high society." Among his recent engagements at that time had been a Monte Carlo ball honoring - Prince Rainier and Princess Grace and widely pub licized Tiffany ball in Newport. The Anchor's first Christmas issue. highlighted the famous "Yes, Virginia; there is a Santa Claus" story as well as Christ mas photographs from diocesan

Continued from page 39 ard Sullivan, CSC; while Sacred Hearts Academy, Fall River, planned to build a "gymnato ri-um" as a highlight of the forth coming diamond jubilee of the arrival of the Holy Union Sisters in the United States; St. Wil Ham's parish, also in Fall River, readied plans for a new church; and in September students at Mt. St. Mary Academy, Fall River, began using a -new addition. Also in 1960, Our Lady of the Lake Day Camp for girls, ad joining the 10ng-established Ca thedral Camp for boys, was opened, while a second Nazareth School for exceptional children was opened, this ,in Hyannis, to join the school already operating in Fall River. In August news came of plans for a girls' high school in Taun~ ton, then named Bishop Cassidy High School, but in later years to merge with Coyle High for boys to become Coyle-Cassidy. . Continuing the building boom, Our Lady of Annunciation Mis -sion, Denriisport, expanded seat ing capacity, wJ'tile Masses began at St. Anne's parish, Raynham; and in North Dartmouth the Dominican Sisters of St. Cath erine of Siena acquired a novi tiate site. In September Msgr. Humberto Medeiros, then diocesan chancel lor, was named pastor of St. Michael's Church, FaH River, while on Oct. 4 the first diocesan pilgrimage to the holy places of Europe got under way, led by Bishop Connolly. Also in October, Fathers Henri Hamel and Bernard Fenton, both then chaplains in the armed forces and both now retired, were named monsignors at the request of Cardinal Francis SpelIman, military vicar for U.S. armed forces. ,In November, 1960, came the election of John F. Kennedy, a summer resident of the Fall River diocese, as the nation's first Catholic president. Edito rially, The Anchor commented that ,the choice was "a tribute to the political maturity of th~ American voters. . . . They have turned deaf ears to attempts to dictate their choice on the basis of bigotry." November also brought news of ,the planned construction of a retreat house at LaSalette Shrine, Attleboro. Known as the Center for Christian Living, it has over the years noused hun dreds of diocesan retreats as well as 'many CursiHo aitd Marriage Encounter pro~rams.
