DIOCESE OF FALL RIVER FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS
At Bishops' Parley
BISHOP'S OFFICE
April 21, 1977 Dearly beloved in Christ, With this anniversary edition, The Anchor, our diocesan weekly newspaper, observes twenty years of continued service to the apostolate of the Catholic Press. It gives me great pleasure, as Bishop of Fall River, to offer well deserved words of congratulations on this most auspicious occasion. I am sure that I speak for the people of God throughout the Diocese when I publicly acknowledge that The Anchor has indeed made an invaluable contribution over the past two decades toward advancing the mission of the Church in this portion of the Lord's vineyard. These have been years of growth and renewal for the Church. However, we realize full well that these also have been times of upset, confusion and perplexity for some Catholics. Providentially, our diocesan newspaper has, since the year nineteen hundred and fifty-seven, serVed as "an anchor sure and firm" as regards Catholic doctrine and teaching. It has been a clear and forthright voice of the Church. We have been most fortunate, and we should be deeply grateful. Yet, if The Anchor is to be that effective instrument of the apostolate, it must make its way into the homes of all our people. I take this occasion to strongly urge pastors to strive for complete family coverage - The Anchor in every Catholic home in the Diocese. I ask the enthusiastic cooperation of clergy in this regard. I likewise urge families of the Diocese to receive and read The Anchor, for this can only lead to a more mature understanding of the Faith and a clearer judgment of world events from a truly Catholic standpoint. I also encourage those entrusted with religious education to employ The Anchor in their classes for it is without doubt a most up-to-date supplement to religion texts and teaching aids. The Anchor has accomplished much good for the Diocese over the past twenty years. I am confident that it will continue this devoted service in the years ahead. However, it is all the more incumbent upon us all - clergy and faithful alike - to promote and support this voice of the Catholic Press in our midst. Faithfully yours in Christ,
Bishop of Fall River
WASHINGTON (NC) - The U.S. bishops will consider a preliminary response to last year's Call to Action conference along with a broad selection of other topics at their spring meeting in Chicago May 3-5. The gathering will also consider creating a staff secretariat for the Committee on the Laity, the future of the Campaign for Human Development and proposed statements on American Indians and on human rights in Eastern Europe. More than 250 bishops from throughout the country are expected to take part in the meeting of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and U.S. Catholic Conference at the Palmer House. A decision on the future of the Campaign for Human Development (CHD) is necessary since the original goal of $50 million has been reached. Funds from the collection go to self-help projects intended to
Anchor Readers Had Box Seat At History For 20 years, Anchor readers have had a box seat for one of the most exciting periods in Church history: an era that has seen three Popes, the windowopening Vatican Council II, the first worldwide synod of bishops ever held, and papal pronouncements that have made headlines around the world. In this nation, there have been the first-ever visit of a reigning Pope, the Eucharistic Congress, and the Detroit "Call to Action" meeting that is still generating sparks; while the Fall River diocese has seen two decades of growth, first under Bishop James L. Connolly, with the devoted assistance of Bishop James J. Gerrard, and now under Bishop Daniel L. Cronin. Turn to· Page Seven
combat the causes of poverty as well as to educational efforts on the poverty problem.The Ad Hoc Committee for the CHD will strongly endorse continuance af the campaign "as an effective manifestation of our Church's concern for an identification with the poor people." The statement on American Indians is the work of the USCC Committee on Social Development and World Peace headed by Bishop Joseph A. McNicholas of Springfield, III. It seeks an evaluation of the Church's ministry in to American Indians, and urges that liturgical forms, educational programs and other services be adapted to reflect the needs and cultural identity of the Indian peoples. It also encourages cooperation with Indians in their struggle to achieve social justice within American society. The statement on human rights in Eastern Europe, also the pro· duct of the Social Development and World Peace committee, de· plores the denial of the right to religious liberty in "the countries spanning the region from Poland in the north to Bulgaria in the south." The bishops will also discuss whether or not to ask Vatican permission for Communion in the hand. The discussion, reque!ited by the NCCB Committee on the Liturgy, chaired by Archbishop John R. Quinn of San Francisco, will take place in executive session.

20 Years in the Vineyard One of the fundamental responsibilities of a Catholic newspaper is to bring the message of the "Good News" to the reality of daily life as it truly exists in the here and now. It is not the duty of such a paper to be just another form of transmitting the secular news of the day. If the Catholic Press had such an objective, it would lose one of its basic reasons for existence. At all times and in all seasons it must be the voice of a pilgrim people as they journey through the desert of man's world in search of their eternal home. It cannot compete with the form and content of the secular press. However, it must use the good offices of other secular media as it presents its own goals and objectives; it must be present to the world's events as it seeks to glean the real and announce the truth. We should realize day in and day out that such a press must be Catholic in mission and scope. It was in this spirit that Bishop Connolly, alor.g with Msgr. Daniel Shalloo, Father John Driscoll and Atty. Hugh Golden undertook the difficult task of establishing a Catholic newspaper for this diocese. This mind was well put in the very first editorial of The Anchor: "This is the function of a Catholic Newspaper - to try to change the atmosphere of our society. The Catholic "newspaper aims at reporting the news, taking the most practical approach possible - recognizing that God and the things of God have a place in the affairs of men and nations. The informed Catholic is in a position to influence his environment and to put God where He belongs. The Catholic newspaper guides him in doing this." For the past 20 years this has been the continued goal of The Anchor. To be sure, there have been days of the change and complexities that are part of life's evolution. Howev~~r, The Anchor has always attempted to be an informative teaching instrument, not only reflecting the mission of the Church in the daily life of man, but also attempting to build up and sustain the community of believers that form the diocese of Fall River. Prayerfully, effectively and with the loyal support of its readers, this newspaper will continue its mission in the Lord's vineyard in the years to come.

The New Look With this 20th anniversary edition of The Anchor we are not only introducing our new masthead but also are bringing to the editorials of this paper a return of "The Mooring." For 10 years, The Mooring was just a simple column. Circumstances have changed and its writer has assumed the editorial work of this paper. From a newspaper point of view this does have some meaning, no matter how obscure it may be. However, from the writer's point of view it meant only a change of position on the editorial page; not a change of content, thought or style. To assure loyal readers of this fact, the title of "The Mooring" will be restored to the editorials of The Anchor. For some this might seem incidental; for others it might be beneficial; for the writer it is a little bit of "tongue in cheek." the editor \

Anchor History Continued from Page One The years have witnessed a Fall River priest, now Cardinal Humberto S. Medeiros, rise from
HUGH J. GOWEN
his diocesan positions as curate, chancellor and pastor to Bishop of Brownsville, Texas and Archbishop of Boston. In two decades The Anchor has recorded the construction and expansion of high schools, homes for the aged, churches and parish facilities. In all this time, as the people of God of the Fall River diocese have worked together, The Anchor has linked them, encouraging, informing, enlightening. No one has done more to fulfill these goals of Catholic journalism than Msgr. Daniel F. Shalloo, general manager of The Anchor from 1957 to August, 1975. The longtime pastor of Holy Name parish, Fall River, and the newly appointed dean of the Fall River area of the diocese, he recently looked back over his years at The Anchor, during which he and his associates "put to bed" 960 editions of th~ newspaper. He recalled that the original staff included Very Rev. John P. Driscoll, now pastor of St. Lawrence parish, New Bedford, and dean of the New Bedford area, as assistant general manager; the late Atty. Hugh J. Golden as managing editor until his death in 1970; and Miss Rosemary Dussault, still advertising and business manager. With the second issue of the paper, John T. Crowley joined the editorial staff; and over the
years others have shared the week to week tasks of newsgathering and editing, but primary responsibility for The Anchor remained for 18 years with Msgr. Shalloo. The prelate paid special tribute to Father Driscoll, whose editorials were an outstandin~ Anchor feature, often reprinted in other newspapers and regularly "borrowed" as sermon material by brother priests in and out of the diocese. He chuckled at the memory of a 1962 editorial in which Father Driscoll expressed support for the United Nations. "Another diocesan newspaper took him to task for his views," he said, "but a couple of months later Pope John came out with exactly the same sentiments as Father Driscoll." Msgr. Shalloo also recalled "Hughie" Golden with great affection, saying that a memorial editorial by Father Driscoll well summed up his contributions to The Anchor: "A medieval definition of a Christian gentleman called him God's servant and the world's master. "It is a definition that Hugh J. Golden wore well in life, and is a fitting eulogy of him in death. "A man of God, he was an exemplary husband and father, living the same high principles in his personal life and in his practice of law. "In his field of law he was an acknowledged expert, and he dedicated his considerable tatents to securing justice for those suffering injury or sickness in pursuit of their work. "And always he was a man of integrity - a perfectionist in his law work and in his dedication to this diocesan newspaper - but a perfectionist who could be patient with others. He was a man of principle - but one who was gentle with the faults of others. He was a proficient newspaperman -and one who could add the precious quality of humanity to the objectivity of a story." Anchor Exclusive Msgr. Shalloo recollects as an Anchor exclusive the publication in October 1958 of pictures of all the Cardinal-electors who路 would choose the successor to Pope Pius XII. "We thought readers would

Cosmas Chaloner, SS.CC., 70, of St. Francis Xavier Church, Acushnet. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., he was ordained in 1948. His assignments included service as provincial procurator of the Sacred Hearts Community in Fairhaven, work at the Enthronement Center, Washington, D.C. and terms as hospital and prison chaplains, as well as the chaplaincy of Sacred Hearts Academy, Fairhaven.
He had been in residence at the Acushnet parish since last June.
like to know what they looked like," he recounted, "but NC News had no photos available. So Cardinal Medeiros, then still a priest in the diocese, had a friend send pictures to us directly from Rome." The death of Pius, he added, occasioned an all-night work session for The Anchor staff, since the young paper had no files on which to draw for story material. Until 6 a.m. of press

Fall River Nun M'ercy Delegate Sr. Mary Sylvia R,ice, RSM of the Dominican-Mercy House in Fall River, served as a delegate to the Tenth General Chapter of the Sisters of Mercy. A faculty member at St. Mary's AC,ademy Bay View, East Providence, Sr. Sylvia was one of 68 delegates who participated in the General Chapter of Elections and Affairs, which was held earlier this month at the Mercy Generalate in Bethesda, Maryland. Chapter delegates selected leaders and established goals to direct the 5000
member congregation during the next three years. According to Administrator General, Sr. Mary Concilia Moran, RSM, chapter delegates expressed concern because women were not involved in the formulation of the document on priesthood and because its conclusions differed from previous biblical studies. Delegates also maintained that ecumenical implications had not been considered. Stating that too little atten-
tion was paid to the meaning of church tradition, sacramental ministry, teaching in the church, equality of person, and the ability of the person to represent Christ, delegates commissioned community leadership to express their concern to both the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and the World Synod of Bishops. Chapter delegates expressed

their concern to end all U.S. military aid to any government which violates human rights. The Sisters also stated their position that as a gesture of healling, unconditional amnesty be granted to aU war resisters and deserters. Chapter delegates protested the proliferation of arms and advocated the reduction (If arms.
The chapter, comprised of the General Administrative Team and 68 representatives from the nine geographic provinces, shapes the congregation's life of Gospel service. The public statements are part of the Sister's ministry to the world community.

Rejects Charges of Abortion Tie NOTRE'DAME" Ind. (NC) Holy Cross Father Theodore Hesburgh .has reportedly rejected charges that the RQckefeller Foundation, which he chairs, is largely responsible for the widespread practice of abortion in the United States. Father Hesburgh, president of Notre Dame University, was quoted in a student newspaper here as saying .that critics of
his role as chairman of the foundation are misinformed about the foundation's abortion role. "The foundation has nothing to do with abortion," Father Hesburgh was quoted by The Observer in an interview. "In fact, you'll never find the word 'abortion' in the (foundation's annual) report."

Discuss Catholic Teacher Unions CHICAGO (NC) Union members who attended a U.S. Catholic Conference meeting on teacher unions said they are encouraged that the USCC "has opened up lines of communication with diocesan lay teachers." "It is gratifying to hear a Church organization reaffirm our rights to organization, collective bargaining and self determination," the teacher union leaders said. Their statement was signed
by officials of Catholic school teacher unions in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York, Fort Wayne-South Bend, Ind., Los Angeles-Orange and Chicago. They and diocesan school superintendents attended different sessions of the meeting sponsored by the U.S. bishops' subcommittee on teacher unions. The subcommittee is collecting information for a proposal to be presented to all the bishops next fall.

BOSTON (NC) Cardinal Humberto Medeiros has urged Catholics to preserve the custom of keeping Sunday as a holy day in the face of current pressures to the contrary. A restoration of the sacred character of Sunday would be a signal to the rest of the community that Christians intend not to participate in what the cardinal called "the restless search for sensual delig"ats

which grows out of atheistic humanism." There is - an obligation upon Catholics to set an example in regard to keeping Sundays holy, the cardinal said. "We should be asking ourselves very honestly today what may be the effect on future generations of our present willingness to accept the current desacralization of Sur.day by making the Lord's day 3 holiday for ourselves instead of a holy day for the Lord." New laws which allow Catholics to ~satisfy their Sunday Mass obligation by attending Mass on Saturday evening, he said, were not enacted "so that Sunday might be completely free of spiritual and moral concerns." According to Cardinal Medeiros, "Sunday is now and will remain the day of the Lord, even for those who have attended Mass on Saturday evening."

Family Services Carter Priority WASHINGTON (INC) "There is no more critical thing to be done than to address the needs of all families," Arabella Martinez, Assistant Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare for Human Development, told a meeting on ethnicity and the family. Miss Martinez outlined the Carter Administration's approach to a national family and social services policy at a conference on "The American Family - the Continuing Impact of Ethnicity." "The conference was co-sponsored by the National Catholic School of Social Service of the Catholic University of America and the American Jewish Com-
mittee's Institute on Pluralism and Group Identity. Miss Martinez said the Administration plans to spend most of the next four years developing a national family policy. She said a White House Conference on Families is planned for "early in fiscal year 1979." The Administration will probably not propose any major family legislation for at least a year, Miss Martinez said, because it will be gathering information. She said the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) is scheduled to propose a welfare reform plan next month and a national health insurance plan next September. Both programs will help fami-
ched a new program to make sure that more low-income children are immunized against serious childhood diseases.

Discuss Patient Treatment Veto ARLINGTON, Va. (NG) Hospitals should be prepared to deal with patients who refuse life-preserving treatment in emergencies, an official of the Catholic Hospital Association (CHA) said here.
"There is no excuse for a hospital to get into a refusal-oftreatment bind when it has adequate counsel beforehand and takes advantage of it," said the official, Charles H. Steib, assistant director of government and legal services for the CHA. Because the reason for refusing medical treatment is often religious, Steib said, such a refusal raises the question of religious freedom. The burden of proof, he said, rests on the state to establish that a person must undergo treatment. Dangers to the health of others, the state's obligation to protect children whose parents refuse to have them treated and the needs of children whose parent refuses to be treated limit a person's right to refuse treatment, Steib said. Cases decided in this area indicate that patients cannot dictate to a hospital what good medical care is, Steib noted. In other words, he explained, the patient cannot say he wants a given treatment today and tomorrow refuse it.

What Is Priestho(xl? The priesthood is not something it is someone: Christ! Every priest reflects some of the priestly qu.!llities Qf Christ. He is a religious leader, a man of prayer a bridge builder, a mediator He brings God to people: People to God He reconciles differences of mentality celebrates the liturgy, feeds us with the Word and Bread of Life He is a peacemaker, a community builder a minister to the needs of others He is a prophet giving Christian insights into the problems of our community, nation, universe His work is difficult; his days long; his frustrations many; his life hard. But then, so was Christ's!

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Apr. 21, 1977
Missioners Ask Carter Support MARYKNOLL, N.Y. (NC) Three hundred U.s. missionaries in Latin America have asked U.s. religious leaders to support of President Jimmy Carter's stand on human rights. Their goal, they said; is to put pressure on 'oppressive Latin American regimes to end
widespread violation of human rights. In a letter, Catholic priests and nuns, Protestant ministers and, rabbis listed a few names as representative of the "thousands of people who have been killed or have disappeared . . . because they were peacefully
working to change the oppressive social structures in their countries." The missionaries pointed out that Carter's stand on human rights was resulting in the release of prisoners, and in due process of law in severa~ nations. But they warned: "Any hesitancy on Mr. Carter's part because of opposition from vested interest groups will cause the repression to heat up again, worse than ever."
