Bishop Manucy was given an OIVerwhelming welcome and re­ i1eption by the leading citizens of Brownsville, the Valley and , ITorthern Mexico. He immediate­ ., started visiting the terri~ory ad the vicariate which lay be­ irween the Nueces River and the Jlio Grande.

The Oblates of Mary Immac­ alate, also known as the Oblate Missionaries, assisted B ish 0 P Manucy in his difficult tasks. lIb.e Oblates first set foot at old ~int Isabel on Dec. 2, 1849, ar­ Ji¥j.ng in Brownsville six days IMef and laying the foundation ilor the building of the historic immacUlate Conceptien Church.

Bishop Manucy's arrival in Brownsville was due to the in­ l!I'eased growth of the faith in the state. There were more than 115,000 Catholics in the Diocese when Bishop ,Manucy assumed 1iis duties at Brownsville.

By their' efforts they had brought to Brownsville the first opportunities for edu­ cation. At that time, the Oblates were operating St. Joseph's Col­ lege, while the Sisters had founded' the, Incarnate Word Academy . Later the Oblates ob­ tained the services of the Marist Brothers to conduct St. Joseph's College.

Only a few cities - Browns­ ville, Roma,.Rio Grande, Laredo, Corpus .Christi, San Patricio, 'Refugio, Goliad and Point Isabel - had a permanent church or chapel. But there were ranches to be visited. . Visited Ranches More than 130 ranches were located in the area to be visited by the missionaries. Bishop Manucy visited these ranches during his tenure in the Browns­ ville area. The Oblate Mission­ aries traveled with Bishop Ma­ nucy through the desolate areas for several year- until the Bish­ op moved his residence to Cor­ pus Christi, ' During his residence in Corpus Christi, Bishop Manucy built St. Patrick's Cathedral, an impres­ sive structure for that day and time. It was through his efforts that the Ursulines began a school at Laredo, and the Sisters of Mercy were established at Refugio and San Patricio.

rrecure,-these, both young and old, are surely thankful

'lI'he thous~ of families, neighbors to us, who have fuenefitted, directly or indirectly; by what devoted sisters, lQIurses, and attendants do for our aged and chronically ill, those too would want me to say a word of appreciation on tiie'fr part. They are "grateful for our Charities. They" ohould be' thankful to the point of helping us.

In fact, most such families do help by contributing f9lueir own conscientious" share, and thank God,-it is con­ tlliderable. Money may never pay for what is done in true @evotion, but it helps assure continued success and even expansion of our good works. .

An important character of our Catholic Charities. e8llmpaigns, is that they aim not merely at maintenance, I:WJ all community, co-operative social campaigns do, but ~t expansion as well. To say that we have grown from 20 dlaritable services to over 30, in fourteen years time is saying a lot. But it is far from saying everything. We do llilot clai~ credit for the loyal dedicated work of the St. Vincent de Paul man, or the Legion of Mary. That's because do not contribute to their work. They s.ustain it them­ selves with the help of a few coHections on Holy Days.

Moreover, .it is good to remember that in 1952, we took care of only 350 aged, with provision for very few chronically ill. Now we are equipped to take care of wen fier 900, aged and infirm, with the balance wheel of l'esponsibility tilt:ing more and more toward the chronically ill. Certainly more than one fourth oftbe guests in our, Manors and Homes for the Aged require speci3lcare,aU .r which makes for greater expenditure in money to pvo­ 'EPISCOPAL OFFICE IN CHANCERY OF 'TEXAS' YOUNGEST DIOCESE

He also was re­ sponsible for having started two hospitals in the area. ,His many 'followers also gave him the name of "Padre Pedro."

On one of his cross-country visits, Bishop Verdaguerwas stricken and died on Oct., 26, 1911 between Santa Maria and Mercedes.

On March 23, 1912, Pope St. Pius X, through the congrega­ tion of the Consistory, elevated the Vic a ria t-e Apostolic of Brownsville to' the rank of a Diocese, with'the city of Corpus Christi as the Diocesan See. The archi ves were removed from Laredo to Corpus Christi and St. Patrick's was elevated to the digni ty of a cathedral.

Upon elevation of the Vicari­ ate of Brownsville to a residen­ tial See in 1912, Rt. Rev. Paul J. Nussbaum became the first Bishop of the Corpus Christi Diocese. He was l' member of" th~ Passionist Order of the E'ast­ ern Province and former mis­ sionary in South America 'with headquarters in New Jersey.

RICHMOND (NC)-The vOw. of poverty, chastity and obe,d!. enee are not restrictions but "ways to a greater giving te people," Sister Edward MaQt, vocations director for the Mis:­ sionary Servants of the Blessed Trinity, said during a panel ses­ sion of a regional meeting of tho Newman movement.

More than 300 delegates from 41 colleges in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delawaro and Pennsylvania attended.

Father Norbert Sharon, M.s, SS.T., vocations director for the Missionary Servants of the Mo~ Holy Trinity, called the shortage of vocations one of the most serious problems facing the, Church today. He said the Church needs 200,000 more priests just to take care of the needs of Catholics in the world today.

Bishop John J. Russell of Rich­ mond, addressing the conference banquet, noted that the Vaticall ,council's declaration on the laj~ emphasizes that laymen have full membership in the Church.

"You are called in aspeciai· way to make' the' Churcli . known," he told delegates. "As' college people, as future leaders. . you have the opportunity and the duty to be active members of the Church,so

BOSTON (NC) -A Catholie physician charged here that birth 1C0ntrol pills have been "thrown on the market like peanuts" in the United States.

Dr. William A. Lynch, chief of the medical staff of Carney Hos­ pital, told the Boston Archdio­ cesan Council of Catholic Women that researchers are mainly con­ cerned with the possibility that oral contraceptives may cause thromboembolic conditions re­ lated to strokes.

"In one of the biggest cities ofC New,England, five young women known to have taken the pill suffered strokes, something al­ most unknown among young women," he said. . Dr. Lynch said it is obvioUlJ that the prevention of ovulation is a major disruption of a wom­ an's functi<lning. ''This has led to PRO PARVULi AWARDS: Rear: George Maciel, manufacture of the pills being in Japan, the Soviet chairman for awards, and Mrs. Emery Cussin, den mother, outlawed Union and Israel," he said.

, ,Pope Paul carried the Cross 'before us (the council, ,prelates in procession) "so' that the world we love and want to save , may see, in us, who are the Church of Christ, the image of the crucified' Savior lind be at­ tracted to Him in us and become one with us.", In the opinion of the new Bishop therefore, the eventful­ to some shocking and trouble­ some-council is surely not the easting off of obligations, cares­ and trial-full attempts. It is the Gospel invitation to take up ,one's cross with an honest love for Christ and the realization that we do so openly and that our ever more perfect, following of Christ is His way of teaching "the world". .

The Council then gives us:a dearer and more efficient means of living our Christianity open­ ly and, a stronger and safer buildin.g up of "His Body".

.Problem of Pre'ssure on Students' Discussed by Faculty Members At Bishop Feehan High School

,THE ANCHOR-

Thurs., April 28, 1966

Synod Continued from Page Six over the entire world, circum~ stances in a particular Diocese might indicate that some of these laws are unsuitable or useless Oll' even harmful here and now. The Code leaves it to the Bishop, tG convoke a Synod every 10 years to determinE the local ground rules in the particular circum­ stance of his Diocese, aiming and directing always and foremost, for the salvation of souls.

It has happened that Synods have posed problems and pru­ dent suggestions which would not be solved or remedies found.

Under force of circumstances, for the moment, the Bishop could grant a dispensation from the general law of the Church. But if these conditions persist and there is not the slightest hope that time will eventually sup­ press the problem, the Synod could well suggest to the Provin- 4.­ cial Council or to the Holy' Father to relax the law com­ pletely. Isn't it with the chang­ ing times that Pope John XXIII saw the necessity of an Ecumen­ ical Council?

The Code of Canon Law makes certain matters obligatory. Quite often the statutes of a Synod will repeat some of these obliga- . tions, not to change these gen­ eral laws into particular laws, but rather to encourage the cler­ gy and laity to a more exact ob­ servance of these very same laws.

For example, the general iaw of the' Church demands that Catholics receive Holy Commu­ nion during the Easter Season.

The Synodal statute may direct that in this particular Diocese, the faithful are not only to re­ receive at Easter, but encour­ aged to receive regularly and frequently. Thus the Synod does not change the general law. It shows, however, the interest of the Bishop, as pastor of his Dio­ cese, to promote and encourage what would increase virtue and thereby repress vice and corrupt morals.

It is true that one of the pur­ poses of the Synod is to curtail abuses that may have arisen over a decade. By making a particu­ lar prohibition or a specific di­ rective, it is with hope that a curtailment of the evil will ~ a promotion of the good. The Syn­ odal statutes could, and should be understood, not so much as !Il condemnation of certain prac­ tices, but rather a commendation of the good traditions in exis­ tence, and a recommendation of ... these to the clergy and laity ofl the Diocese.

ls there too much pressure on today's students? Fac­ ulty members at Feehan High School, Attleboro, disagree in their answers to this question. In a survey made by mem­ bers of the Feehan Flash staff, two teachers said yes, two said no, and one took the 'Joseph Baptiste o~ Coyle High middle road. Their replies in Taunton, who has received a are interesting. Said Peter $500, federal grant and a $500 Gazzol'a, junior homeroom federal loan, renewable yearly; teacher and guidance counselor: Feehan's own Karen Preston, "Generally I feel that there is who is the recipient of a $1200 not too much pressure." He said , scholarship from Emmanuel and he felt that exposure to a wide a $1400 grant from St. Mary's, range of educational offerings South Bend, Ind.; and Kenneth Phipps and Thomas Marsland, helps students decide on educa­ also of Feehan, granted $2000 tional and vocational goals.

Emphatically differing was and $1000 scholarships, respec­ Miss Eileen McSoley, also of the tively, to Providence College.

"Pressure from Northeastern, in addition is ordinarily placed on those who to a $500 national defense loan. are indifferent toward their So do not say it cannot be schoolwork. These pupils need done, pressures and all! urging to attain any kind of Spread the Word ocholastic achievement."

Diocesan high school teens Sister Mary Hope also noted that students who feel under should spread the word to public pressure should consider their school students that there'll be extracurricular activities and a day especially for them at soCial life, "which sometimes Cassidy Hi g h, on Saturday. cause a lack of sufficient study Themed for Leadership, the day will beg i n at 8:30 Saturday time and result in p'ressure."

Prelate A.dvises On Obedeence Of Priests

,..@

IRONTON (NC) - The flare-ups against obedience in the 'priesthood were char­ acterized by Bishop John

BOSTON (NC}-Richard Cardinal Cushing has named Msgr. John A. Broderick to succeed Msgr. Lawrence J.

King Mussio here in Ohio as Hthe myth of total independence which simply does not exist."

"It is a drea~ that turns into a nightmare even before the dreamer awakes," the Steuben­ ville bishop said during. a Mass of thanksgiving marking Father John H. Quinn's 25th anniver­ sary as a priest. Father Quinn is assistant pastor at St. Joseph's church.

The prelate said there are some who "blame the spirit of obedience for the aberrations of those who misuse it."

"It is for us as priests to re-' move the injustices, to correct the faults and to eliminate the shortcomings," he said. "That is what renewal is all about-not to eliminate obedience in the life oj. the priest or in anyone else's life, but to renew it, so that it is revealed in its true light as a unified and coordinated service of dedicated men to 'the Word of God." The bishop said the dedicated priest understands obedience to be basically a union with Christ.

He added that the dedicated priest "holds to his obedience with the same spirit in which he trusts in the promises of Christ."

"The truly joyful priest knows that his priesthood is patterned after that of the High Priest, not deformed by the bickerings, the resentment, the tricky maneu­ verings of those who distort rather than observe obedience.

Obedience is our nobility as priests." ,

Riley as rector of St. John's S e min a r y, in neighboring Brighton.

Announcement of the change in administration was made by the cardinal following commu­ nity Mass at the seminary. The seminarians, some 125 of whom had participated in the March 22 protest demonstration w h i c h brought administrative difficul­ ties to light, had returned to the seminary from their Easter holi­ days the previous evening.

In his address to the semi­ narians, Cardinal Cushing said that Msgr. RileJ7 had asked per­ mission to resign four times since assuming the pos~ last Sep- , I ternbel', and that he finally has accepted the resignation "very reluctantly." , "He is convinced that my ef­ fQrts to bring to St. John's Sem­ inary a spirit of harmony and discipline and dedication ean best be furthered by a new rec­ tor," the cardinal said. " Msgr. Broderick outlined the course he will pursue in his new :assignment.

Advice of Faculty "The norms of training of seminarians have been outlined

by Vatican Council II," he said.

"The directives of the Vatican council are being implemented at St. John's Seminary by His Eminence, Car din a 1 Cushing, with the a$lvice of the rector and faculty. I intend to continue to consult with my fellow faculty members and 'suggest to His Eminence whatever changes we feel will help our semina dans to become effective and holy priests."

The monsignor, born here July . 12, 1918, was ordained in 1944.

After advanced studies at the Catholic University of America in' Washington, D. C., he became librarian at the seminary in 1947.'
