"I have grown Up"
40 are commissioned as ministers to sick "As a physician, l have found the pastoral care program to have enhanced my medical practice and personal life. It has brought me an awareness of a special ministry that I can bring to my patients and has provided skills not usually found in formal medical training." "I feel like 1 have grown up on the inside." "I have learned new techniques for developing listening skills. Because of this, 1 hope to be able to listen not only to what a person is saying, but also to what he or she is feeling." "I came to the program after the death of my mom. During her illness 1became familiar with some of her fellow patients and their needs. After her death 1 wanted to fill a void in my life and in the lives of isolated elderly in my own parish." . "This program has given me tools for the journey to spiritual, emotional and physical health." "This program has helped me to understand not only others but

our diocese, many of whom trace their ancestral roots to the Azores." Papal Schedule The pope's 50th trip outside Italy will combine a pilgrimage to one of Catholicism's most famous Marian shrines with visits to At-

At the invitation of Bishop Aurelio Granada of the diocese of Angra, Azores, Bishop Daniel A. Cronin is in the Azores for the visit there this weekend of Pope John Paul II. The bishop 'is accompanied by Msgr. John J. Oliveira, diocesan chancellor. The prelates will also travel with Bishop Granada to mainland Portugal for the pope's pilgrimage to the world-famed shrine of Our Lady of Fatima. Bishop Granada extended the invitation to Bishop Cronin last December, saying "I would be very happy if Vour Excellency desired to come and was able to be present when the Holy Father visits the Azores. Dioceses so close spiritually - Fall River and the Azores - would haye the opportunity to greet Pope John Paul II together." . In accepting the invitation, Bishop Cronin wrote "Be assured of my profound gratit,ude for your kind invitation to joi,n you and the people of your diocese on the occasion of this historic visit of His Holiness. I know this will be very meaningful to the people of

In a far-reaching statement issued today, the Catholic bishops of Massachusetts committed themselves to support of state legislation directed to the good of families. Bernard Cardinal Law, archbishop of Boston, ~ishop Daniel A. Cronin of Fall River; Bishop Timothy Harringtort of Worcester and Bishop Joseph F. Maguire of Springfield called on citizens of the commonwealth; to join with them in working for "a healthier and sounder social and civic life
that will extend to everyone in society, to the poor, to the disadvantaged and to those who have no family." The bishops' statement, titled "Family: The Key to a Healthy Society," emphasizes the traditional concept of family as "the common life of a man and woman in lawful union together with their children," although it recognizes that many other familial patterns exist. The statement observes that it is
to the benefit of the state to have strong, healthy families because they are the natural foundation of social and civic life and because the common good of the whole society is directly affected by the good of the family. The bishops point out that the classic principle of subsidiarity teaches that the state should not perform functions that can be done by smaller bodies. The family is Turn to Page Six

FATHER CANUEL
FATHER ROBILLARD
Two mark silver jubilees
I
Canuel helped him through high school, but found that it would be almost impossible to get him into a Peruvian university. His solution was to send Sixto to the Durettes, where he lived while doing postgraduate work at Bishop Connolly High School in Fall River. Since that time he has graduated from Rhode Island College and married a Guatemalan woman from St. Joseph's I?arish. The couple now live in Nbrth Attleboro, the proud parents of two little girls. Father Robillard Father Robillard is a Fall River native, the son of Alfred and Medora Robillard Jr. Born Jan. 23,1940; he attended Notre Dame school and Prevost High School in Fall River before preparing for the priesthood at Cardinal O'Connell minor seminary and St. John's Seminafy in Brighton. Father Robillard was parochial vicar at the former St. Hyacinth parish, New Bedford; St. Joseph, Attleboro; Notre Dame, Fall River; Sacred· Heart, New Bedford; St. Louis, Fall River; St. Jacques, Taunton; and St. Theresa, Attleboro. He was then administrator at St. Stephen, Attleboro, and since 1986 has been parochial vicar at St. Pius X, South Yarmouth.

the moorin9-..., Rising up To Serve From Provincetown to Mansfield, Nantucket to Easton, Vineyard Haven to Swansea, countless workers are calling on their neighbors and friends to support the efforts of Catholic Charities. It's more than mere fund raising; it's not just collecting money. It's what Jesus told his friends they sho,uld be doing as church. It boils down to living the beatitudes in a world not too far removed from the paganism that surrounded Jesus when he gave the Sermon on the Mount. The church has not forgotten that sermon, although her modern critics often forget that she, as always, is feeding the homeless, clothing the naked, working for world peace and healing the broken. ' '., ' It is the church who dares to be not only a voice of con-' science but a doer of upliftingdeeds. It is the church who is a beacon of hope for those who hunger for justice as they serve their brothers and sisters with faithful hearts. The Lord, believes that aU of this IS our task. Doing the works of charity, living out the beatitudes, are not options. In fact, one sign offidelity is the light thatref~ses to be hidden by the bushel basket. The Catholic who neglects the works of mercy is indeed the.salt that has gone flat, whose flavor cannot be restored. It is well for those who continue to play games with God and church in this regard to recall that such salt is good for nothing and no one. It is fit only to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. Even in the face of insult and slander, we as church must let our light shine before all. Our critics and those who would curse us, today's scribes and Pharisees, must never deter us from fulfilling our beatitudinal mandate. If we really believe this, we realize that the work of the church lies in soup kitchens, hospital wards and shelters for the homeless, not solely on altars or in cathedrals. In these trying economic times, demands are in many areas overwhelming. There is hardly a St. Vincent de Paul Society that can keep up with the local needs. Indeed, all social ministry outreach programs and the training ofthose who lead them are urgently required church undertakings. By generously supporting our Catholic Charities Appeal each of us can be involv:~d in these fulfillments'ofJesus' mandates. We should not allow discouragement to make us stingy, and in effect hide our light. Weare called to place our resources and efforts where they will shed brightness on all. Some would have the world believe that we do not share concern for community welfare, at the same time expecting us and other private agencies to bail them out of the chaos produced by the failure oftheir own pet projects. Well, the proof is in the pudding. The church is a recognized leader in imple-' menting and living the beatitudes, helping and caring for people regardless of their race, creed or color. Catholic Charities is simpiy an outward sign of our inner commitment to live the Sermon on the Mount. Its annual fund drive deserves our support, not only in the light of what it has done for 50 years but for what it continues to do. Let us rise up and do our part so that those whose work is aided by Appeal proceeds can continue to serve in the name of all of us and, most importantly, in the name ,of Jesus. ,

science while at the same time screaming "Ouch" when he is excluded from giving a graduation speech at his alma mater. In 1966, when the lieutenant governor graduated from Hudson Catholic High School, abortion was both a crime and a sin. For Cellucci it has now become a right and a cause. His uncritical acceptance of this state of affairs as progress was confronted by the bishop responsible for the lieutenant governor's pastoral care. Certainly no Catholic showing so little regard for church teaching should be put in a position where his conviction that a woman's right of 'choice has precedence over an unborn child's right to life might in any way be encouraged. We may live in a culturally pluralistic society but that does not mean that every culture has an equal claim on our attention. The best of our Western civilization reflects the influence of laws and beliefs deeply rooted in the J udeoChristian tradition. It is sadly true, of course, that we tolerated slavery, imperialism, racial prejudice and sexism for far too long, and that the church has not always been innocent of these vices; but happily, she will bejudged as one of the few institutions that stood against abortion. Indeed, the astronomical growth in the number of terminations of unborn life is nothing less than an abandonment of,the highest values of Western civilization. But the Roman Catholic Church will never countenance abortion while she hears Christ's voice in the cry of the least brethren.
Pro-life events planned for tomorrow, May 24
Love is what counts Sunday's readings: Ads 1:15-17, 20-26, fJohn 4:11-16, John 17:11-19 Christians must be ecumenical. We cannot claim to have the mind of Jesus unless we honestly work for the union of all his followers. Almost every author found in the Christian Scriptures presupposes and works for such tinity. TodaY's readings convey this message in unmistakable terms. The significance of Matthias' election, to the Twelve revolves around the time it takes place: immediately before the Holy Spirit descends on the early Christian community. For Luke; Pentecost marks the Church's beginning. Everything must be in proper order, for the Paraclete's arrival, thus t~e evangelist is theologically c.onim!tted to return the Twelve to Its onginal unity before this most. important event happens. (NotIce that only Judas is'ever replaced. There are no further elections after other members of the Twelve die. The Church has already been established in unity.) Though it takes some "exegetical expertise" to surface the meaning of Luke's nar~ative, our two pericopes or selectIOns from John need little interpretation. Here the problem is that we simply refuse to admit that the words proclaimed by Jesus and John actually pertain to us. We Catholics have traditionally believed that unity will only coDie about after we have converted all, other Christian denominations to our views on theology, authority and worship. We conveniently !gnore much of what modern scnptural scholarship takes for granted: in this case, that Jesus' first followers frequently differed on ~heol ogy, authority and worship. If they had agreed, why would John spend so much time and space encouraging his readers to be on~? Listen carefully to what thIs early Christian author regards as essential faith and action. "Beloved," he writes, "if God has loved us so, we must have the same love for one· another. No one has ever seen God. Yet if we love one another God dwells in us, and his love is brought to perfection in
us." He never once mentions theology, authority or worship. And note the religious affiliation ofthose "one anothers" whom we are obligated to love. They are our fellow Christians: those who acknowledge "that Jesus is the Son of God!" Some members of John's community seem to be confusing unity with uniformity. They think every- ' .one must believe and act identically before anyone can be accepted as a Christian in good standing. This is why John keeps harping on the essentials. We must basically believe in Jesus' divinity, arid show that belief in one another. No wonder John's Jesus prays so intently for unity during his Last Supper discourse. "0 Father, most holy," the Lord pleads, "p~o tect them with your name whIch you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one." He asks his Father not .....to take • them out of the world, but to On May 24 a group of diocesan guard them from the evil one."

home placement isn't what's needed at this time." Rogers said that applying for admission cannot always guarantee immediate placement, for a variety of reasons. Applicants who qualify for Medicaid, for example, must meet state guidelines for nursing home placement. And because different units of each home are geared to meet specific health care needs, placements must correspond appropriately. "If you're interested in one of our homes, it's better to contact us than simply to assume we won't have anything available," said Rogers. The

By Christine Allen "Old age is a stage oflife and has a character all its own, its own distinctive climate and temperature. its own joys and troubles... to be old is an office just as beautiful
and sacred as that of being young." -Herman Hesse This sentiment is echoed in almost any conyersation with the social workers ofthe four diocesan nursing homes.

They are, at OUf Lady's Haven, Donna Marshall and Eugene Pineault; at Marian ~1anor, Jennifer Salem; at Madonna Manor, Tracy Strother. John Rogers directs the social services department at Catholic Memorial Home, where he is assisted by social workers Nancy Pavao, Beverly Noiseux and Sharon Martin. A social worker is ordinarily the first person encountered by an individual or family gathering information about a possible nursing home placement. Workers are trained to help the potential resident and his or her family members cope with this situation, which can be stressful, emotional and sometimes overwhelming. "Our first task is to help with the initial admission process," said Rogers. "Referrals may come from the hospital setting, when nursing home care is recommended after an illness or other hospitalization. But we handle just as many calls from the community, whether nursing home care is needed either immediately or eventually." Anyone may apply to the diocesan homes, regardless of religion, race, sex or source of payment. They are certified to accept both Medicaid, the federal-state assistance program for people with limited income, and Medicare, the federal insurance program for particular kinds of nursing or rehabilitative care. Applications and inquiries for more information about any of the homes are always welcome. Changes in long-term care have caused the long waiting lists once associated with the diocesan ,nursing homes to be a thing of the past, the social workers agreed. Nursing homes in Massachusetts now care specifically for residents in need of nursing care rather than simply retirement living. "We want people In the diocese to feel free to call us if theY have questions about our homes or about long-term care in general," said Ms. Marshall. "And if they're working with a hospital or p~ysi颅 cian to seek placement, they should speak up about their interest in the diocesan homes. "We're really here to serve, whether it's with information, a tour of the home, or help in beginning the admissions process. We also provide referrals to other community agencies if nursing
families cope with a move to the nursing home is a priority for the social services department. The new resident may experience feelings of sadness and loss at leaving home, familiar surroundings and possessions - and feelings of anxiety about the new life in the home. -For their part, family members may be struggling with guilt for not having been able to provide all the care that the spouse or parent needs. " , "While the family may not be able to provide 24-hour physical care, they can still supply emotional caring," said Ms. Martin. "We encourage the family to stay involved as much as possible." She .assures potential residents, "We are not going to take away their independence; they are going to be able to make decisions for themselves. We respect each person's individuality, prior lifestyle and need for privacy. We'll also encourage - but not force them to socialize and enjoy the community atmosphere." There is a misconception "that once you enter a nursing home you are shut away," said Ms. Strother. "But our residents can go out for a day, overnight, even on a little vacation with family if they want. There are no restrictions on visiting hours in the home, either family members can come by at any time." Rogers added, "While we have to realize that we may not become 'home' to everyone, we strive tf) be like home in all the ways we can. "I like to say that coming to Catholic Memorial - or any of the homes - is a new beginning, another change among life's many changes." "The apprehensions are certainly uilder!!tan4able.", said Ms. Strother. "We're hereto provide supportive listening, opportunities for both residents and family to vent their feelings. In fact, you'll find emotional support and reassurance throughout the diocesan homes, not just from social services, but also from the nurse's aide who spends a few ,extra minutes with a family or the maintenance man who stops washing tbe floor to speak a word of encouragement to a resident." Additionally, the homes offer either one-on-one or group support under such names as family council, family circle and spousal support group. These groups, meet-ing monthly or quarterly, provide education on a variety of health Turn to Page 10

Making the most of your nursing home visit Unrestricted visiting hours and a commitment to family involvement help encourage visiting at the diocesan homes. But visiting a family member can sometimes be difficult, because of distance, time limitations 'or uncertainty about what to do or say. Here are some tips that can help make your next visit with your loved one more enjoyable, compiled from diocesan social workers and The Family CAREBook. - Most of the time, tell your relative when you will be coming. A surprise visit is enjoyable, but if a resident knows in advance, he or she can look forward to it, and rest to be ready for it if necessary_ - If your parent or spouse cannot reaJly enjoy a long visit, try making short, frequent visits instead. One man visits his mother at Catholic Memorial Home for 15 minutes each morning before work, bringing her the newspaper and 'sharing the latest news from home. -- Bring in fresh fruit or some other spedal food for yoUI' p.rent or relative. This lets the resident know that he or sbe bas been in your tho~hts. Your relative may also enjoy being able to share the treat with others. But be sure to check first on dietary restrictions with the nursing staff. They can help you figure out appropriate treats. - Bring in something you can do with your family member: puzzles, a suitable craft or hobby, cards or a favorite game. - Bring flowers, a plant or some other physical memento that will be a reminder of your visit after )'1>U have left. - Bring the babies, children and family pets. They're always a welcome sight! - Share recent family photos or bring in a photo album to reminisce over. - Read aloud from a favorite book from home, or visit the nurs-
ing home's library to select a book together. Most nursing h0m. es offer a selection of large pnnt books. _ Check before you visit for anything your family member might need or would like you to do so that you come prepared. _ Assist your relative in writing letters or sending cards. And don't forget to send cards and letters yourself. It's always pleasant to receive mail. _ Spend time together at Mass or in a scheduled activity program. Also, wher~ possible. residents who are able will greatly appreciate a shopping trip, restaurant outing or visit to your home. _ Do your relative's hair or nails. He or she will enjoy the comfort of your loving touch. - Help your relative keep up with family events (birthdays, weddings, and outings as well as Turn to Page to

Being a mom is running your shopping cart wheels into the heels of the man in front of you because you are so preoccupied with the ,beauty of your infant asleep amidst the baby food, oatmeal and disposable diapers. Being a mom is, you just know, one of the reasons the Blessed Mother did not have time to write one of the Gospels. Being a mom is answering questions like, "Why can't my puppy Leaky sleep with meT' Being a mom is accidentally sticking your baby with diaper pins and feeling guilty years later. Being a mom is knowing where John left his mitt, Marie left her Western Civ book, Joey left his AA batteries and Mike left his shoes. Being a mom is spending so much time taxiing children to lessons, friends, church, school and the mall that you sometimes think the car knows you better than your husband.. Being a mom is never quite being able to control the adrenalin level when the person on the phone says, "This is the school nurse and

with a kiss and the heart with a hug when your baby is 4. Being a mom is learning it's not .that easy when your "baby" is 14 - or 40. Being a mom is knowing how to fry eggs, dry gym shorts, boil eggs for science class, bake cookies for the PTA and keep the coffee hot all on the same stove at the same time. Being a mom is telling yourself you would never say, "I hope you have kids just like you someday -then you'll understand," but saying it anyway.

home movies and wondering where the time has gone. Being a mom is hard when you have to watch your child make his or her own mistakes. Being a mom is chipping peanut butter off the fish tank and toothpaste off the the bathroom ceiling and not wanting to ask how it got there. Being a mom is being a grandmother and pondering the mystery of motherhood from a new, wondrous perspective. Being a mom is finding yourself whispering a Hail Mary for your children almost as naturally as you take a breath.
washings just watching it,"she . said with a smile. The secrets to the success with her large family Mrs. Ahnen attributes to close teamwork with her late husband as well as lots of love and strong faith. She met her husband when she was 15 and growing up in Keno- ' sha, Wis. Two years later, on May I, 1928, they were married. John was a cabinet maker in Racine, where they raised their family until 1961. That year they bought an apple orchard in Bayfield. to call home. "He was a wonderful person. I didn't raise those kids alone," she pointed out. . In return, her close-knit family has thrived on those loving roots. "When things go wrong, everybody draws together and· is sup- . portive - not just for ·me but for each other," she said. "We had a lot of love in our family. And God led me all the way because lots of times 1 didn't know what to do." Mrs. Ahnen and her offspring teamed up for a reunion marking her 80th birthday last summer. A prized gift from the occasion is a quilt made up of patches made by each family in the Ahnen clan. Messages on each patch recalled special memories shared with "Apple Grandma," as she is known. When friends marvel at the closeness of such an extended family, Mrs. Ahnen lets them know that many sleepless nights, material sacrifices and lots of prayers were the key ingredients in strengthening that family tree. "People say to me, 'Oh, you did such a great job of raising your kids,' .. she said. "I say to them, 'God had a hand in it.' ..

Education office secretary marks 40
St. Patrick's Day and started at the education office on St.' Joseph's Day." On her March 19, anniversary Father Richard Beaulieu and her education office colleagues treated her to asurprise luncheon, and she plans to celebrate this summer 'with a trip to Ireland. "I was there 20 years ago, but only for two-and-a-half days, so I didn't see much of anything. I thought it was about time to go back," she said. When she started the job, she said, "It was just a one-girl office. There were some 30 diocesan schools, before.the buildup in the late 50s and 60s. There were two Mercy 'Sisters who ran the CCD programs and the Legion of Decency .[a 'movie rating, program)." ' The ever-reliable Miss Taylor has been doing~'general secretarial work, managing the office, ordering supplies - more or less keepingeverything running" for two bishops and four education directors. . . Sounds like a lot to keep track of - "but I've got it all straight in my head," she assured the Anchor. CCD pr.ograms and diocesan schools were managed from separate offices for several years, but were merged again in 1973 in the Highland Avenue building that is the office's present location. "It's l.1ever been dull," said Miss Taylor. "Education is like that you're always on your toes, always doing something new and different and challenging." She~sseena lot of changes in her career, "Watching them build the high schools, from Stang on up -that was a highlight - then it all turned around as there were fewer religious and the number of schools came down again."

She recalls with affection "the people I've worked with, my bosses, people in the schools and religious education... We've had ·some very good people." In her time Miss Taylor has flowed with the current of technological advancement from manual typrewriter to electric typewriter to word processer. Did acquisition of the latter require her to get special in'struction? "Basically it was put the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door and break out the manuals" - which take up about half a bookcase. "We learned as we went along," she said. Concluded the former user of manual typewriter and carbons, "It does wonderful things." The same can be said of Miss Taylor.
