As the Appeal Opens

ST. MATHIEU, FALL RIVER

Last evening's kick-off of the Annual Catholic Charities Appeal focused once, again the attention of all within this area on the fundamental law of charity-love of God must show itself in love of neighbor and especially of neighbor in need.

It would be easy to talk about the difficult economic conditions at the pres'ent time, to make all sorts of excuses for not giving. But that is what' they would be-excuses.

People can always find excuses for what they do not wish to do. But real love of God and love of neighbor for the sake of God brush aside all such flimsy rationalizations.

Charity does not count the cost. Charity sees each person in need as a brother and a sister, a child of God, Christ in the person of a neighbor.

This is the only frame of mind that a follower of Christ can have as the Charities Appeal opens. It .must be the attitude of those who solicit contributions; it must be the attitude of those who give to the Appeal.

The Council of Catholic Women will sponsor an April Shower Basket Whist at 8 o'clock on Saturday night, April' 20 in the par·ish hall. Mrs. R'O'bert Ouellette, chairman 'and Mrs. George Cummings, co-chairman have announced that members donating baskets and other items may bring them to the parish hall be- . tween 7 and 9 on Friday night, April 19.

Any teenagers wishing to donate their time by acting as scorers are asked to be present in the hall at 7:30.

Mr. George Cummings will act as announcer for the evendng.

.Papal Message

Th~ Women's. Gu,iJd will present a variety show, "Showtime '74" at 8 P.M. Saturday and Sunday, April 27 and 28 at Normandin Junior High School auditorium, Tarkiln Hill Road, New Bedford. Tickets will be ava'i1able at the door or may be reserved by calling the rectory, telephone 995-3593, or· Rita Lizotte or Theresa Martin.

In a brief Easter message to the one hundred thousand persons crowded into 5t. Peter's square in Rome, Pope Paul made two telling points. He said that "although human life ends in' temporal death, it conserves in itself the immortal seed of rebirth; of resurrection and. of everlasting life." He warned that those who build their lives on materialistic values, pn self pleasure and well-being, build on sand and deceive themselves.

It is strange how often too many persons refuse to recognize what they really are. They cater to their bodies, to their senses. They ignore or refuse to accept the reality that they are made to the image of God, that they are made to live forever, that they are made so that-as 5t. Augustine found out centuries ago-they are restless until they rest in God.

As Pope Paul said, they fail to recognize that they bear within themselves the resurrection, a resurrection of glory or one to eternal loss. The bearers of such a precious heritage should insure on this earth that their realization at the moment of temporal death will be to resurrection in union with Christ. .

But all too often they barter away this kind 'of an eternity for a few minutes of pleasure, for a fleeting excitement of the senses. It is a bad bargain, at best, and, at worst, an eternal frustration.

Surprising lleaction A great New York newspaper reported that a woman bought a newspaper at a mid-town newsstand one day last week. It was. a pleasant day and she was feeling happy so she remarked to the dealer, "Good morning." Just that'nothing more. Apparently no one ever spoke to him, at least not that way, and in surprise he blurted .out, ".You're the nicest person I've seen in six months. You've made me nervous spea,king ,.that way to me:" It is rather surprising and just a little sad that such a

remark would evoke such a reaction. And that it would be considered newsworthy.

It does show that people have a longing to be considered by others. Just the smallest expression of basic humanity brings out the best in them. Imagine if this were multipled on a larger scale. It could be that New York City could not stand it! The reaction would be so much nervousness that the whole city i~ould grind to a halt.

Priest Asks Pope Paul to Name At Least Six American Saints MONTCLAIR (NC) - A priest here has proposed that Pope Paul VI canonize "at least six North American saints" during the 1976 observance of the United States bicentennial.

Father ,Charles McTague, administrator of the small predom-, inantIy black parish, 'idmits that i·t's not likely that the Pope would come to St. Peter's. But he said it's the only church he has the authority to -invite the Pope to.

However, he said that if such a ceremony were held in Sacred Heart Cathedral in nearby Newark, it would have "half a million. people in Branch Brook Park -listening to the ceremony over loudspeakers." The park is next ,to the cathedral.

Birt-hright will benefit from the annual K of C "Operation Concern" program, in which the beneficiary is different from year to year.

In five years the program has raised $115,600 for refugee relief and to aid tohe victims of disasters in the U. S. The choice of Birthr'ight" as the focal point for 1974 was an. nounced here by Msgr. Henry Beck, state K' of C chaplain.

Father McTague's list of candidates for sainthood represents the diversity of Amearican Catiholk culture.

-Pierre Toussaint, a black and a native of Haiti, died an New York in 1853 after years of working with orphans and helping needy seminarains and missionaries there.'

-Mother Elizabeth BaY'ley Seton, a New York native and con-· vert to Catholicism after her husband died, founded the Sisters of Chaflity in the U. S. at E'Jrnmitsburg, Md. She died in 1821 and was beatified-declared "blessed"-in 1963.

-Father Junipero Serra, an early Spanish missionary to Nort-h America, died in 1784 after founding the It!ajor Franciscan missions in California.

-Blessed John Nepomucene Neuma'nn was a native of Bohemiaand fourth bishop of ,flIhiladelphia (1852-1860). In 1963 he became the f.irst American bishop to be beatified. .

-Mother Katherine Drexel, a Philadelphia native, founded the Sisters' of the Blessed Sacr,ament to minister to American blacks and Indians. She died in 1955 at . the age of 96. _ --Kateri Tekakwith was martyred in 1680 at the age of 24.

Dorn in New York, she is the first North American Indian candidate ,for canonization.

-Sister Mir,iam Teresa' Demjanovich (1901-1927) was born in New York of Byzantine-Ruthenian Rite parents, but she lived the latter part of her life in a Latin-rite parish and died ,as a member of the Latin-rite Sisters of Charity.

In addition, the nuns will be salaried like civHian employes. .Also, according to reports, all priests licensed to function by the country's communist government have been ordered to renew their licenses. Only a relatively smaH fraction have so far been permitted to continue funcNoning, and many are being scrutinized for "loyalty to the state."

Pope to Unseal Entrance Door Of Basilica VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul wiH open the second phase of the Holy Year by unsealing an entrance door of Saint Peter's BasHica on Christmas Eve just before midnight Mass.

The second phase of the Holy Year is designed for pilgrimages to the sacred shrines of Rome.

In a preliminary phase, now un· derway around the world, Pope Paul called on local churches throughout the world, including his own Diocese of Rome, to strive for renewal and recondliation by means of local pilgrimages and ecumenical ventures.

The preliminary phase is intended for those who could not make pilgrimage to Rome and will last from a year to a year and a half depending on when the local church launched its own program.

The so-ca'lIed Holy Door is a gateway through which pilgrims will enter the four major basilicas of Rome to gaJin indulgences' for their participation in the Holy Year.

Holy doors in the basilicas of Saint John Lateran, Sarint Mary Major and Saint Paul Outside the WaHs will -be opened on Ohristmas day by three cardinals designated by Pope Paul.

Right of Sanctuary .

Historians believe the Holy doors in the Roman basilicas were in vogue from Elt least the Holy 'Year of 1450.

A Spanish pilgrim, Pero Tafur, writing in 1437, said the indulgence of the Holy Year was connected with the right of sanctuary dating back to pre-Christian times.

Right of sanctuary was practiced in early Christian times, and a legend maintains that because of so many abuses of this right, Pope Sylvester I in the early 300's ordered the special door of sanctuary sealed up and only opened in special time of grace, such as a Holy Year.

The Vatican announcement on March 30 that Pope Paul will open tlhe Holy Door on Christmas Eve and then 1>roceed into Saint Peter's for midnight Mass settles a small debate on when the door should be opened.

University to Host Catholic Lawyers DETROIT (NC) -. The Jesuitrun University of Detroit will host an international meeting of Catholic lawyers, judges and law professors, it was announced here.

Pax Romana, an international movement of Catholic students and inteJ,1ectuals, will sponsor the meeting "to analyze legal problems from the angle of charity and ethical considerations" according to Prof. W.J. Wagner of the University of Delroil's law school, who is Pax Romana's vice president.

Wagner said the organization is not well known in the United States but is very active in Europe. He said he expects some of the leading members of the legal profession in Europe to attend the congress.

DUBUQUE (NC) - The Dubuque archdiocesan board of education has approved plans for a Teacher Corps program to be implemented in the 1974-75 school year "to lighten for a time the financial burden of some Catholic schools."

The archdiocesan office of education also said the program is intended "to provide generous lay persons with an opportunity and a challenge," Although the office of education said that Teachers Corps members serve "while accepting limited compensation," it warned against considering these volunteers merely "cheap labor."

Father Russel Bleich, assistant superintendent of education, said that {!very effort will be made to protect the dignity of yolunteers and determine the' "right motives of those schools wanting volunteers."

Ch ristian-Jewish Dialogue NEW YORK (NC)-The positions of both Christians and Jews have undergone some "retrenchment" recently, but this is evidence of a new, "more sober" stage in the dial,ogue, according to the Vatican's representative in' the U. S. In an address to the Synagogue Council of America, Archbishop Jean' Jadot, apostolic delegate in the U. S., said that some leveling off of the initial enthusiasm in the ChristianJewish dialogue should .have been expected but should not discourage anyone.

Past differences between Christians and Jews, the archbishop said, must be faced before meaningful discussions of the present and future can begin.

"To face one's past has a purifying and regenerating effect. and thJs applies to the historical as well as the personal task,"

Archbishop Jadot explained. "I am aware of the heavy debt that lies on the Chris.tian side in com.ing to terms with our past alienation. I am confident that Christians will not flinch before it," As an example, the Belgian archbishop cited the Second Vatican Council's statement on the Jews which re}ected antiSemitism and claimed a "common patrimony" with the Jews.

The. present task of Christians and Jews, Archbishop Jadot noted is two-fold "We must sustain and advance our dialogue," he said, "and at the same time increase 'Our cooperation to contribute to the solution of the grave and pressing problems the world in which we live faces."

Among those problems, he listed peace, justice, poverty, and alienation of youth.

Scholar S'ees Catholic-Anglican Eucharistic Sharing 'Very Soon' GARRISON (NC)-"We must soon have at least limited permission ,for eucharisNc sharing" between Catholics and Anglicans, according to a member of the Anglican-Roman Catholic dialogue .in the United States (ARC).

He also predicted further theological. advances but warned of an extensive need for pastoral education in the two churches.

Addressing a group of Ahglican and Catholic ecumenists at the Graymoor Ecumenical Institute ·here, F'ather Allan Laubenthai of St. Mary Seminary, Cleveland, said that in some areas inter-Communion js already taking place in fact, even though it is not legally accepted in either the Catholic or Anglican (EpiscopaHan) communions.

The pressures of this fact, he said, add to the urgency of con-

sidering eucharistic sharing, both in ecum~nical. dialogue and in official negotiations.

"More, based upon the reasons given for permitting euchar,istic sharing with Orthodox Christians (true sacraments, above all -by apostolic succession-the priesthood and the Euchari,st) I foresee at least the same amount of sharing being permitted very soon with Episcopalians," Father Laubenthal said.

"Although Roman Catholic bishops now have the authol'ity to admit other Christians to the Eucharist in Catholic churches under certain circumstances, reciprocity will soon be in order based on the degree of consensus emerging on critical issues," he continued. "Hopefully, the conditions will not be as restr.ictive as those presently in effect in the cases mentioned."

bishop Jadot said. "The forces and agencies of humanity and civilization" must work together.

"Prom bent among these forces must be the traditions of Judaism and Christianity, or, if you wish, the Judeo-Christian .tradition, which lies at the roots of Weste::l1 Civilization and has, in effect, made its influence felt well beyond the Western world," he added.

Midwest Pastoral Planners Meet JEFFERSON CITY (NC) "Pastoral planning and pastoral participation are two sides of the same coin," Father Robert Howes told a group of participants in a two-day conference here in Missouri.

Representatives of pastoral councHs and pastoral planning offices from 17 dioceses in 12 states attended the meeting.

Father Howes, formerly a member of the staff of the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate and presently on the staff of a management-consultant firm, said that "a good consultative process must accomplish efficiency, prophecy, be representative and must be spiritual."

When It's Time to Mov-e, You Find Y,ou're Attached

Rosary Donated ~o Museum

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick

Several people have asked me lately how to go about preparing a garden for planting. This is sometime backbreaking work, depending on the condition of the area to be planted, but it is not very complicated. If th~ area has already been planted, it is Just how cluttered our lives merely a matter of turning become with possessions really the soil over, breaking up the hits home at this time, and sad clumps and removing any to say, the things that may mean weeds or grass that. may be present.

I use a spade or pitohfork to do the job, lift out any large rocks that are turned up, follow this with a raking to level the soil and the garden is ready to be planted. If you have any wellrotted manure available, this can be incorporated with the soil for friability as well as fertiHty. If you have never worked the area, your work is cut out for you. The soil has to be turned over in the same way, only there may be a much greater amount of sod and stone to be removed.

This is dioHicult work, but there is no way to get around it. I have found that mechanical till- , ers do a good job on an existing garden, but are far less suitable for a new plot of ground.

For a new garden -it is almost essential that you get as much manure as possible to incorporate into the soil. ThE: soil must be checked carefully for e<>nsistency. If it contains massive amounts of clay it should be treated with as mueh sand as possible to get it reasonably friable; otherwise it will bake heav.ily in the sun during the hot months.

On the other hanel, if soil is exceptionally sandy, it needs as much humus as possible and this can come from peat moss, manure or any otJher organic materials which are available and economical.

Once the garden is turned over and prepared, the best advice I am able to give is to show a little patience and to learn from your own experience what is required in terms of preparation.

Stunted, twisted plants are good indications of clayey soil, while thin spindly plants are an equal indication that the soil needs to be built up and fertilized.

In the Kitchen As I'm writing this column I have just returned from bringing my mother down to the new apartment that she's moving into. The past two weeks of packing and discarding have been hectic ones for her because moving from a large apartment or house into a smaller one becomes a difficult problem.

Things become an integral part of our lives. and nowhere does this become more apparent than in the moving process.

Want Peace Restored To Caribbean Island PORT-OF-SPAIN (NC) - The Caribbean Conference of Churches (CCC) has come out in support of the efforts of the churches on the troubled island of Grenada to seek reconciliation between the government and opposition there.

The CCC called upon the churches to play their role in this reconciliation shortly after Trinidad's Prime Minister Eric Gairyaccused the CCC of not living up to its part in bringing peace to Grenada, a recent hotbed of opposition to the Gairy government.

Grenada became independent of Great Britain on Feb. 7 amid a conflict that divided the people on this island, which is 90 miles from the northern coast of South America.

DAYTON (NC)-A rosary see cretly hand-formed from bread ,in a prisoner of war c;amp in North Vietnam has been donated to the Air Force Museum at nearby Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. .

The donor, Brig. Gen. John P. Flynn, U.S.A.F., said he was given the rosary by Navy Cmdr.

Paul Schultz while they were prisoners at the Plantation prison camp.

"This rosary is typical of others that were made while we were in camp," Gen. Flynn said.

"It was made from bread which WCl'S shaped and then colored with ink, which incidentally, was not normally available.

"It takes a few days for the bread to harden. String was taken from a cotton blanket to actually string the cross and beads into the rosary."

Cmdr. Schultz said that the North Vietnamese would con路 fiscate the rosaries he made if ,they found them. But he added that the guards would almost never pick up the rosaries with their hands but wit-h pencils or sticks because they thought the .r.osar.ies had some kind of magical powers.

LANCASTER (NC) The Christian Appalachian Propect (CAP), a non-sectarian organization working to relieve poverty in Eastern' Kentucky, has appealed for "people-to-people aid to make Easter and spring into days of resurrection" for victims of early April tornadoes.

In a letter to 500,000 CAP supporters, Msgr. Ralph Beiting. the organization's president. said the tornadoes had caused "unprecedented destruction."

"Those who died unquestionably represent the greatest tragedy," he said. "Yet those who still live face a monumental task of rebuilding. In many cases devastation was totaL" He appealed for food, transportation, medicine, 'shelter, clothing,. volunteer workers and money.

Future Bright . NEW YORK (NC)-If editors and P4blishers are willing to make hard-nosed management decisions, the future of the Catholi~ Press in the U. S. can be bright.

That seems to be the conclusion of four articles in the April 6 edition of Ameti<:a magazine published here by the Jesuits.

The entire edition deals with the state of the Catholic press in this nation, and was designed to aid, the nation's bishops in their spring meetings on the topic of mass communcation in evangelization.

In the past, Catholic editors and publishers seemed to disdain management and production problems as being below their journalistic dignity, said Msgr..

R.G. Peters, editor of The Catholic Post in Peoria, Ill. But recent postal increases,' higher salar,ies demanded by staff members, and falling circulation have combined with outdated management techniq'ues to imperil the continued existence of the Catholic diocesan newspapers, he added. . .

Savings can be made, however, in utilizing the new production methods such as offset printing and automated typesetting, he pointed out. An often ignored possibility lis putting printing' contracts up foJ' bids. '.

Least Expensive There .is ,hope, Msgr. Peters said, in recent attempts by the Catholic Press Association and other groups to inform and educate editors about more efficient management techn'iques through seminars and workshops designed for that specific purpose Arthur L. McKenna, director of cjrculation and advertising of The Tablet, the newspaper of the diocese of Brooklyn, said that many pastors refuse to contribute to the newspapers if the parish schools are facing financial difficulties.

However,' he cited studies which indicate that Catholic newspapers are widely read and are the most inexpensive means of informing the laity of current news concerning the Church.

'Florida Legislature Kills Amendment TALLAHASSEE (NC)-For the third straight year the Florida state l~gislature failed to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA); which would outlaw all distinctions between men and women that would 'discriminate against either sex.

Chief opponents of the amendmentin Florida were thl~ Florida Federation of Women for Responsible Legislation and the Florida Council of Catholic Women, which is made up .of diocesan councils of Catholic women across the state.

The ERA was killed on the senate floor by a 21-19 vote after three· hours of debate, mainly over the question of whether the amendment: would subject women to the draft and to combat duty.

Asks Higher Priority for Human Rights WASHINGTON (N C) - A House subcommittee has urged the U. S. to give protection of human rights a higher priority in future foreign policy.

Noting that "the human rights factor too often ha.s been neglected in foreign rel,ations," a House foreign relations subcommittee has asked the State Department to discourage in vari- ' ous ways governments which commit serious violations of human rights. Such sanctions, the subcommi-ttee said, should be meted out "in an objective manner without regard to whether the government is considered friendly, neutral, or unfriendly."

The majority report came out of hearings on international protection of human rights and study sanctions by the U. S. arid the United Nations.

According to the subcommittee on international organizations and movements, the "prevailing attitude" of pure power politics" ,has led the U. S. to embrace governments "which prac-, tice torture and unabashedly violate almost every human rights guarantee announced by the world community."

The subcommittee said that the current U. S. relations with

Catholics Top List For Growth Rate STOCKHOLM (NC) The Catholic <:::hurch is the most rapidly growing church in Sweden, according to a report of the Stockholm Institute of Sociology of Religion.

for the sake of other assumed interests."

The report scored the ,policy of "quiet diplomacy" in which the State Department makes a low-key appeal to governments Wilich violate human rights.

"Quiet diplomacy" would be effective, the subcommittee said, if affected governments realized ·that it would be followed by other actions-public condemnation of violations, appeals to the , UN, cutoff of military assistance and sales and of economic assistance - if low-keyed appeals were unheeded. . The report warned against imposing higher standards of moraLity on countries unfriendly to the U. S. and ignoring violationsof rights in friendly lands.

INDIANAPOLIS (NC) - Commissions for Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, commonly called lay ministers, will become an annual event on Holy Thursday in most parishes of the Indianapolis archdiocese.

Instead of expiring every two years, the commissions will expire every year on Holy Thursday, the day on which the Eu· charist was instituted. . The change is expected to spotlight the service. of" ministers as well as reduce the recordkeeping necessitated by a constant turnover.

Says Monastic Life Still Holds Valuable Lesson BENET LAKE (NC)--Monastic life, though steeped in centuries-old tradition, offers a valuable message to the modern Church and society, according to Bishop Bernard F, Law of Springfield-Cape Girarde:au, Mo. To the outside world, he noted, the simple life of monks and abbots serves as a reminder of thair special characteristics of silence, .a rhyThm of prayer and work, poverty, obedience and stability.

"These things say something to our age," Bishop Law, explained in an interview last week at St. Benedict abbey here in Wisconsin, where he was one of the main speakers at a weeklong workshop program for 38 abbots and priors from the U. S., and Central and South America.

He described monasticism as having a paI'ticular charism or gnt that God intends for the Church.

Prayer Life "And I see Benedictine monasticism as being particularly suited for the needs of the Church - quite relevant," he added.

The endurance of monasticism through times of change, Bishop Law said, reflects the desire of a growing number of persons for deeper prayer life.

Mona9tics, he contended, represent a growing awareness in the Church of what Christ meant when He said, "You are in the world but not of it."

Another work~hop IE~ader was Benedictine Abbot Giles ZarameIla of San Giorgia's abbey in Venice, Italy.

The true value of monastk life has been somewhat neglected recently, Abbot Zaramella said. "We're trying to meditate and bring forth values for the modern world which seem to have been lost-the primacy of the spirit over matter,"

Demers, who plans to "take it easy, work In my garden and around the house," had words of praise for St. Anthony's current crop of students, whom he termed "not too much different from those in 1927 when I started-Maybe they're more wideawake now. They're' a good bunch of boys and girls. It's very seldom that one gets out of hand," St. Gela,is is definitely one of the "good bunch."

Papal Document Shows Teachings Well Foullded ROME (NC)-Pope Paul's recent exhortation on "devotion to Mary,'" (MariaHs Cultus) advanced the theme of the American bishops' pasl:ora'i letter on .Mary issued last Nqvember, according to Cardillll'l John Carberry of St. Louis.

The cardinal was a prime mover of the American bishops' pastoral, called "Behold Your Mother: Woman of faith."

Cardinal Carberry told 'NC News that the American bishops "concentrated on the wealth of dogmatic teachings concerning Mary in an effort to try to fathom the mystery surrounding the Mother of God. "The Pope in a m'anner of speaking, zooms r·ight down to the praotical devotion to Mary.

"Not only does the Holy Father augment bhings we could' only touch upon in a few paragraphs, he shows that traditional teachings of the life and role of Mary, that is, the dogma we spoke of, are so well founded."

Directly to Christ Cardinal Carberry, who is well known for his personal devotion to Mary and who intI10duced the Amer·ican bishops' pastoral letter to the press last November, said the papal document clearly stressed the position of Christ in Marian devotion. ' "The Pope indieated in his 'devotion to Mary' the direction which Marian devotion should take: directly to Christ.

"Pope Paul indicates that' there is rich' biblical foundation for believing that Mary found her happiness in Christ in urilon with the Holy Spirit, and we can do .the same," Cardinal Carberry said. , Although the papal document restricts itself as much as pos- ' sible to the subject of devotion to Mary, Cardina1 Carberry said that there is 'much in Pope Paul's exhortation that is rich in material for meditation and simple prayer.

Both documents speak of the rosary and of the merit in meditating on the events or "Mysteries" in the life of Jesus and Mary during recital of the rosary.

15 Mysteries .

The 15 mysteries recounting the life of Christ 'have 'been standard in CathoHc practice for'centuries, but the American bishops' document said: "New sets of mysteries are possible."

Triggered by the suggestion, the ipternational office of the Legion of Mary in Ireland told its members that they could now meditate on 20 mysteries. ' An observer in Rome said that both the American suggestion and the Legion of Mary interpretation are "premature."

Asked abolit this confusion, Cardinal Carberry quickly set the matter to rest: "We had heard of the possibility of new mysteries, but the Holy Father in his document speaks of the standard, pattern of 15 mysteries,"

'Phe 'speaker was HHdegarde, the veteran radio and supper club ente,rtainer who a1 68 is stiU performing .and ,still deeply ,concerned ll'bout the Church. She '. was interviewed while here for an appearance at Mount Mary' College. ' The singer-pianist has not stopped praying the rosary daily since the beginning of World War II. Every Lent she goes to daily Mass. A framed picture of the Sacred Heart goes wherever Hildegarde goes and she wearsher brown scapular almost all the time.

In 1971, Hi,ldegarde was invested by Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York as a lady of the equestrian order, of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, a high papal decoration bestowed on laity.

Disturbed But .the woman who introducedsuch oldtime favorites as "I'll Be Seeing You," "All of a Sudden My Heart Sings", "Darling, Je VQUS Aime Beaucoup," and "Last Time I Saw Paris," is disturbed by much that goes on in churches today.

"I think the vernacular is marvelous but why have they taken away the statues? That was cruel.

"We need ,those images for inspiration.

"One day I went to a church in New York, and, you know, I couldn't tind the tabernacle? It was on the side. You wouldn't have even known it! There wasn't even a red light or crucifix to show it. I was very upset!"

She is upset too when she sees that some priests don't genuflect anymore. She genuflects for them in reparation.

Asked what for her would be the ideal pniest, the singer said, "He would be happy and proud fOT :his calling and would be' educated about the faith. He would pray that !:>reviary every day!

He would visit parishioners, the sick, poor, neglected, suffering and dying. His work would be definitely spiritual."

TROY (NC)-The school board of Sacred Heart Parish here has launched a five-year plan as a, way of keeping the school alive.

"We are try,ing to overcome parents' fears that the school won't be here in four or five years," said Madden. "If we convince people we will be around, we will be."

Projections for the plan were based o'n enrollment trends and parish census data. From these qSources, the school board oetermined that there are enough Peace Peace is that state in which children in the parish to maintain enrollment until the end of fear of any kind is unknown.

Fr. Peyton Sees Papal Document Renewing Interest in Rosary ALBANY (NC) -- Pope Paul's new document on' devotion to Mary will end "the eclipse that enveloped Mary" recently and spur new interest in the rosary, F.ather Patrick Peyton said here. , Father Peyton, national director of the Family Rosary Crusade and an ,internationally known advocate of the rosary, described the decJ.ine in Marian devotion as a "felix culpa" (fortunate mistilke) that "produced so clariJfying and so motivating a document" as Marialis Cultus.

"It is a document for QUI' t'imes and troubles ..." Father PeytQn said in a statement at his cm,sade's headquar.ters here.

As a result of the Pope's document, Father Peyton said, "individuals and families will once again take the rosary into tlieir hearts and homes, and through it they will grow in grace, holiness, peace and happiness ... The wheel has made its full turn ...

The ecl,ipse of Mary and the rosary is vanishing speedily and, I·ike the moon,after its eclipe, the brilliance of her rosary wiU shine' all the clearer and brighter."

Al-ong the way, Miss Ward has sometlhing to say about the Black Panthers, about protestors and resisters of the Vietnam war, about those who have gone to prison for the sake of conscience.

Whereas she deplor~s violence and is mistrustful of the dramatic gesture and inflated rhetoric, she seeks to, discern motives and to give credit to brave witness.

If a London workman could, without disrespect, call out en-thustastically to the aged Queen Victoria, "Go' to it old ginl;" perhaps a reviewer may be permitted to make the same acclamation in the case of Miss Ward.

In a sense it is true to say that pleasure is just another name for joy, except that the notion of joy seems or'dinal'ily to suggest something on a higher level than "mere pleasure." But we do speak of en-joy-ing anything that affords us 1>leasure.

Therefore, we can consider joy and pleasure as amounting to just about the same thing.

There is no area other than that of pleasure or joy in which the old idea of the "golden mean" comes to the fore so prominently. On the one hand we have the hedonist who maintains that noting but pleasure is worllh striving for, that the main object of life 'is to have fun. His motto is "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow you die."

At the other extreme is the grim PuritJan who looks upon any sort of pleasure at all as at least suspeot, if not positively wicked.

Enjoyment: Gift of God

FR. CARL J. PFEIFER, S.J.

GIFT OF GOD: "Joy is what we experience when we possess anything we regard as good." A girl enjoys sliding on a piece of playground equipment in a Milwaukee park.

A Christian does not abstain from meat or drinking alcoholic beverages because he believes that t'he enjoyment of the pleasure associated" with suoh eating or drinking is wrong. R'atJher, he wants to experience the pain of ,abstinence to atone for his sins and the sins of others.

Via Media If both the hedonist and the grim Puritan are wrong about pleasure and its enjoyment, it seems that the place to be in this matter is in the middle. Everybody knows, for instance, that even if one is very fond of, say,

It is not particularly difficult to demonstrate the fallacy of both of these positions. The hedon,ist is wrong beoause the search for plea,sure for its own sake invariably leads tQ bitter disappo'intment and disillusionment. like everyt'hi>ng elISe that is good, pleasure is good only for something beyond it, not really in itself.

chocolate eclairs, for instance, it won't take him very long to get to the point that he has no desire at all even to look at another chocolate eclair.

What is true of eating chocolate eclairs is true of any pleasure in, this world. Sooner or later you come to the point where what was pleasurable before becomes unpleasant or even painful. So the answer is simply moderation.

We are afforded occasions for enjoyment not only so that this life may not become an intolerable burden but a1so to afford us a foretaste of heaven itself.

A,fter all, this is, the ultimate and absolute perfection of enjoyment. And like the small boy who is admonished by his mother to take it easy with the candy :be's eating so as not to spoil his appetite for dinner, we ought to warn each other concerning the opportunities for enjoyment to "take it, but take it easy."

That remark gave me pause.

Twenty-nine years without any pleasant experiences! Even allowing for some exaggeration I could not help but feel saddened at the thought of so pleasureless an ordeal.

About the same time I read about two elderly women in Washington. They lived in such poverty in the nation's Capitol that they wore 14-year-old shoes, and subsisted on almost nothing.

Appfil'rently, they had known much better' days earlier in life.

Junta Official Fires Anti-Marxist Priest SANTIAGO (NC) - A priest who fought the regime of Marxist President Salvador Allende has been fired as head of the Catholic University television station here by an· official of the military regime which toppled Allende last September.

Father Raul Hasbun lost his job as director of the television station in a dispute with the military over the independence of the station, the same issue which caused him to become a leading figure in the struggle against Allende.

All the executives of the station resigned in support of Father Hasbun after he was fired by retired Adm. JOrl~e Swet.t.

ing out dressed up for lunch or dinner brought tears to their eyes. Such a pleasant experience existed for them only in memory, and they wept at the thought of so ordinary a pleasure.

Place of Pleasure Both stories describe rat-her extreme circumstances. Yet both 'suggest - perhaps because they are extreme-that the sustained absence of life's ordinary pleasures is not desirable. Both stories give rise ,to a kind of sadness and compassion for persons deprived by poverty or by conviction of life's pleasant experiences. Both stories caused me to reflect on the place of pleasure in human life.

I have met many good Christians who instinctively feel the enjoyment of pleasure is somehow tainted. They feel guilty when they have a good time.

They feel it more virtuous, or more Christian or even more nobly human to endure pain than enjoy pleasant experiences.

Seeks Endorsement Of Primary Boycott WASHINGTON (NC)-United Farm Workers of America (UFWA) head Cesar Chavez told newsmen here he would curtail his secondary boycott efforts across the country in return for an AFL-CIO endorsement of the primary boycott Qf non-UFWA lettuce and grapes, according to Associated Press reporter Robert Dobkin.

Dobkin told NC News that Chavez made his remarks to newsmen af.ter a speech he delivered here March 26 before'the delegates to the legislative conference of the United Auto Workers - International Association of Machinists.

The secondary boycott, which the UFWA has been waging against selected grocery chains around the country, is aimed at stores which carry certain products rather than against the products themselves. The boycott of specific products is called a primary boycott.

AlthQugh secondary products are illegal for unions covered by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), farm workers are not covered by the act and are exempt from NLRA restrictions.

MIAMI (NC) - Florida's five bishops issued the third in a . series of pastoral letters to citizens and officials of the state in a 'document urging changes in the criminal justice system.

Of primary concern to the bishops is the rehabilitation of those imprisoned, while recog. nJizing the need to protect. society from those prone to antisocial behavior.

The bishops called for extensive revision of the bailbond system "which discriminates so extensively against the poor."

They noted that both innocent and guilty often await trial under conditions which would-be intolerable in state prisons.

Prisons, they said, should be located in various areas around the state so that visitation by family or friends woulq be facilitated with a 'view to tlie prisoner's -eventual peaceable return to the commun:ity. Fur'ther, the bishops called for more extensive use of work release programs.

Turning to the supervisory personnel of prisons and parole official, the bishops urged raising their oWn level of ~om­ petency through continuing education and greater coordination between prison staff and the Parole and Probation Commission.

BROTHER DAVID TOUCHETTE, F.I.C.

Celebrates Golden Jubilee A member of the faculty of Bishop Connolly High School, Fall River, will celebrate fifty years of religious life on Saturday, April 20th. Brother David Touchette, F.I.C., the first Provincial of the American Province of the Brothers of Christian Instruction, and, subsequently the first master of novices in 'the United States, will be joined by members of the clergy and by religious superiors when he celebrates fifty years路 of service.

Most Reverend Daniel A. Cronin, Bishop of Fall River, will preside at the 4:30 p.m. Liturgy of Thanksgiving to be held in the St. Pius X Chapel, Bishop Connolly High School. Members of the Roman Catholic congregation of teaching Brothers will also be in attendance. Reverend Brother Albert Tremblay, FoI.C., Superior General of the Brothers and Brother Francis . Blouin, FoI.C., provincial superior of the American Province will also be in attendance.

The Notre Dame Choir, under the direction of Brother Touchette and organist Mrs. Oscar Barnabe, will provide the religious music for the jubilee celebration.

Rev. Maurice Lebel, SJ, rector of the Jesuit Community at Bishop Connolly High School will be the principal celebrant while Brother Bloui!1 will deliver the homily..

First Provincial Boston-born, Brother David (Joseph Paul Touchette) was born on December 12, 1908, the son of the late Joseph S. and the late Marie Louise Touchette. He has one surviving brother, Henri W. Touchette, who lives with his family in Montreal, P.Q., Canada.

Brother David entered the congregation in March 1921 at La Pointe du Lac, P.Q., Canada.

In 1946 Brother David became the first provincial of the American district when the province of La Prairie, P.Q., was divided into three and the Brothers living in the United States became autonomous. Previous to this time, he

had taught in Biddeford, Me.,' Plattsburg, N.Y., and Alfred, Maine.

Even during the busiest years of his service, Brother David has always found some time to devote to his love of and great skill in music. Even as provincial he was never too busy to direct chorale and glee cub presentations to underscore a special liturgical feast or the nameday of a Brother. Even in his busy schedule today, he still finds time to direct the Notre Dame Parish Choir as it celebrates its centennial. Brother David is still involved in full-time teaching.

He is presently on the Bishop Connolly High School faculty as a teacher of math and physics.

He has 'been at this post since his return to full-time teaching in 1967.

HUNTINGTON (NC) - The Catholic press is "sometimes expected to reduce the majestic truths of God to the tiny dimensions of cramped craniums," according to a special supplement of Our Sunday Visitor.

Published to provide information for the bishops' regional meetings this spring, the tabloidsized supplement attempts to explore the current state of the Catholic press.

The bishops' topic in the spring meetings will be the role of communications in evangelization.

In the lead story, Gerard E. Sherry, editor of the Monitor in San Francisco, said that another problem which afflicts the press is the readers' trend toward reading newspapers for relaxation aa'd escape from problems.

To fight this trend, Sherry suggests that journalists, especially Catholic journalists, remain dedicated to truth and honesty in interpreting the news.

In another front page story, Bernard Lyons suggests that dioceses make more use of their newspapers as educational tools.

Religious discussion groups, he added, can aid the circulation and readership of diocesan newspapers by serving as sources for the discussions.

Priests Back Day Of Humiliation .LANSING (NC) - The senate of priests of ,the Lansing diocese urged priests and people to observe the National Day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer called for AprH 30 by the U.S. Congress.

Congress established the special day at the suggestion of Sen. Mark Hatfield (R-Ore.).

Hatfield told the Senate that Americans "have been living through days that try the soul of the nation" and are now faced with "a country torn apart with division" and lacking the spiritual foundation to restore itself.

Catholic' Conferen'ce 'Discusse's "Policy of Capital. Punishment

WASHINGTON (NC)-A start has been made on developing a U. S. Catholic Conference (USCC) policy on capital punishment, Bishop James S. Rausch, USCC general secretary said here.

"We do not have a policy at

present," the bishop said, explaining that, af.ter the U. S. Supreme Court decision in June 1972 ruling the death penalty to be unconstitutionaUy "cruel and unusual punishment" as then imposed, was '''a non-issue."

A policy was not developed, the decision, Bishop Rausch said.

Since the court's decision, he said; "because there was no felt need for a policy," The ab- however, 23 states have reinsence of any expression of oppo- . stated the death penalty for cersition to the Supreme Court's de- tain crimes and on March 13 the ci!~ion by any bishop could be U.
