DUBLIN, Ireland (CNS) - Ireland's primate, Cardinal Tomas 0 Fiaich, died unexpectedly May 8 in Toulouse, France.

Doctors did not immediately announce the cause of death, but Irish media speculated it was due to a heart problem.

The 66-year-old cardinal arrived in Lourdes, France, May 7 with a pilgrimage group from his archdiocese of Armagh, Northern Ireland.

Doctors who accompanied the pilgrimage said they thought the cardinal looked ill the evening of

FATHER FERNANDES

The Most Reverend Daniel A. Cronin has announced appointment of Father Stephen A. Fernandes as Diocesan Director of the Pro-Life Apostolate. Father Fernandes succeeds Father Thomas L. Rita, pastor of St. Mary parish, Seekonk, who was the first diocesan director.

In the mid-70s, prior to Father Rita's appointment, clergy from around the diocese were regional Respect Life Coordinators.

In announcing the appointment, Bishop Cronin made the following statement: "It is my intention to expand the work of our pro-life activities. I am grateful to Father Rita for the leadership he exercised during his tenure as director, paving the way for more intensified diocesan efforts on behalf of the unborn.

"These are referred to as 'post-

Webster days,' indicating a substantive shift has taken place since the July 3rd 1989 Supreme Court ruling in Webster v. Reproductive Health Services.

"The agenda is now much more state-oriented and in this Commonwealth there exists a real need for education, pastoral care and other efforts on behalf of children preparing for birth. For this reason, I am appointing a diocesan priest to direct this apostolate in an intensified manner. In so doing, however, I cannot overemphasize our dependence upon parish clergy and lay leadership."

Father Fernandes explained that, in concert with the bishop's wish to revitalize parish pro-life committees, his initial task will be oriented toward the local parish.

"The help and work of faithful women and men in the parishes of

the diocese is indispensable, he said. "An increase in respect for human life cannot be accomplished in an office, but only in the homes and hearts of God's people.

the moorina-., Developing aNew Vision There is a danger that in our absorption in the new face of Europe we will forget the rest ofthe world, especially Asia. The dramatic dynamics of Eastern Europe together with the consolidation of the Common Market do indeed hold significant meaning for us, Considering that as yet the maj ority of Americans are of European heritage, this is easy to understand.

However, if we concentrate on Europe and ignore Asia, then we as a nation will be much p'oorer.

Most social scientists agree that the new century will 'be Asia's. That grand sage of the Orient, former Ambassador to Japan Mike Mansfield, has also predicted the "Pacific Century," Sixty percent of the population of the planet is Asian,' Some of the world's largest armies are based in the area; 18 of the 20 largest banks in the world are in Japan; robotic manufacturing and other high-tech industries are proliferating; even now transpacific exceeds transatlantic trade; while headlines daily announce political, economic and social changes in Asia, It should be clear indeed that we must view the Pacific with open minds and clear vision, Too many of our attitudes flow from our post-World War II experience and the residue of ill will occasioned by the conflicts in Korea and Vietnam, For over 30 years Americans died in Asian places and it is very hard to overcome the hurt and harm of those times.

So many of our men and women lost or ruined their lives in wars which, as history testifies, were the products of power politics and political expediency, Millions of Americans are still in a healing process that only time can bring to an end.

But time is at the very heart of the matter. The swiftness of change combined with today's mood somehow deny us the time we need for full healing. Events of our world have catapulted us into the vortex of instant change. The past can exist only in memory. It would be wrong to forget it but it would be even more deadly not to live and act in the present.

With its abundance of human and natural resources, the Pacific has unlimited potential. However, it is a region of vast diversity and volatility. Friction from overlapping interests is inevitable. Its latent problems run the gamut from border disputes to oppressive governments.

It should be realized that much ofthe current Pacific success story is attributable to the United States. We provide a protective security that allows many Asian nations to look inward to their own economic development without fear of external threats. We are also Asia's best market and the economic ramifications of this have become a domestic problem for us.

Indeed, many nations whose dreams of prosperity we hav~ helped realize have contributed to our present economic nightmare.

The problems are many but so are the facts of a new and powerful Asia which cannot be ignored or sublimated.

Americans are not really prepared for world changes. We have been immersed in the good life so long we think we own it.

That is a pipe dream. We are a powerful country but no longer can we think of ourselves as the only one.

Once again events are echoing the words of the poet Donne: No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main." ...T his is the lesson all Americans will'have to learn in the new century.

that the bureau had just begun sending workers to interview individuals who had not yet received forms.

"The whole census is like a car being assembled. Just because the bumpers are not on doesn't mean it's not worth anything. The cen'sus isn't over," he said.

But Sedillo said by not reaching large numbers of Hispanics with mail-in forms, the bureau undermined church effo'rts to assuage the fears of Hispanic illegal aliens, many of whom are reluctant to give personal information to government officials. Illegals traditionally have been among the most difficult to count.

He said the Hispanic Affairs Secretariat had hoped that church members would help Hispanics fill out the census forms in the privacy of their own homes to avoid having to meet with an unknown worker.

He added that the race question on the census from puzzled many Hispanics. It asks for respondents' race, but lists only four options - "w.hite," "black," "American Indian" or "Asian or Pacific Islander." For many Hispanics, omission of "Hispanic" or "mestizo," a mixture of Indian and white European, was confusing, said Sedillo.

Pro-Life head named Continued from Page One "The initial thrust of this apostolic work will be to focus on the insidious crime of abortion; in the future, I hope that pro-life committees on the parish level will help make our Catholics aware of how broad and pervasive the decline in respect for human life is. I certainly agree with Bishop Cronin that our dependence upon the parishes is great and with him I pray for continued support from the people and clergy of the diocese."

Over the past few years, Father Rita has maintained a.file of Catholics recommended by their pastors for work in the pro-life apostolate. Within the next few weeks, Father Fernandes will be contacting each of these individuals to determine their availability to serve on parish pro-life committees or as parish pro-life coordinators.

Shortly thereafter, a conference will be held for these leaders to assist them in developing and maintaining strong parish programs.

While directing this apostolate, Father Fernandes will continue his duties at St. James parish, New Bedford, where he is parochial vicar and director ofSt. James/ St. John School. A priest of the diocese for 14 years, he is also New Bedford deanery director for the diocesan Marriage Preparation Program and an auditor for the diocesan Marriage Tribunal.

In accepting his new appointment, Father Fernandes said: "To be deputed by the bishop to work with greater intensity on behalf of the most defenseless of persons among us is for me a source of both challenge and consolation: challenge due to the expansiveness and urgency of the task; consolation due to the support of so many, starting with the bishop. We are witnessing daily a relentless decline in respect for the unique sacredness of human life; even overt acts of violence seem common and unsurprising. " The goal of the new diocesan director of the Pro-Life Apostolate will initially focus upon the crime of abortion, working toward the full reimplementation and monitoring of the Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Based on the premise that "...the most effective structures for pastoral action are the diocese and the parish" (Pastoral Plan), the objectives of the apostolate will be to monitor, encourage and offer assistance to parochial activities of Catholic action in the areas of public education and information, pastoral care and public policy. .

Many activities have already been developed by Father Fernandes and approved by Bishop Cronin, serving to implement the goal and objectives ofthe Pastoral.

Plan for Pro-Life Activities. Some of these include: • To establish an office as a base to which parish pro-life committees may turn for resources to be used within their own parish communities; • To work closely with the Diocesan Department of Education to assist the clear and regular teaching of the prolife message at every level of educational activity; • To plan an annual dioce-

san prayer service to remember the children who have died and to encourage those who work so tirelessly' in the apostolate; • To initiate a feasibility study for the possible implementation of Project Rachel within the diocese. (Project Rachel is a program of reconciliation designed to assist priests in ministering God's forgiveness to women who have experienced an abortion and desire reconciliation with God and the Church.)

• To facilitate a network of parish pro-life committees which would communicate the pro-life truth; - • To coordinate diocesan participation in state and national pro-life observances, viz., the March for Life in Washington and the Respect Life Walk in 'Boston; • To establish a pro-life committee on the diocesan level; • To energize within the diocese, as soon as possible, the National Committee for a Human Life Amendment's "Project Life," piloted in January of this year and already active in several areas, motivating average citizens to communicate with their legislators about the erosion of respect for life in society.

These activities, and many others which are envisioned, will require prayer, patience and people.

All readers of the Anchor are urged to help in this apostolic activity. If you feel you can give time and interest to pray and work, please, write to Father Fernandes at St. James Rectory, 233 County Street, New Bedfora, MA 02740.

Cardinal Continu~d from Page One cardinal a "happy priest who brought people together through his joviality."

Irish Prime Minister Charles Haughey called the cardinal a "valued personal friend," and Bishop Brendan O. Comiskey of Ferns said he was "deeply loved by his fellow bishops."

Cardinal 0 Fiaich was an advo-cate of ecumenism as a way to help solve the sectarian strife in Northern Ireland. He said he considered Northern Ireland's troubles the result of "differing political allegiances," not the result of Catholic-Protestant troubles. He consistently condemned violence from all factions: the Irish Republican Army guerrillas, British loyalists and British security forces.

Born in Crossmagien, in the Armagh Archdiocese, Nov. 3 1923, Cardinal 0 Fiaich was ordained to the priesthood in 1948. Named archbishop of Armagh in 1977, he was elevated to the College of Cardinals in 1979.

Although located in Northern Ireland, Armagh is the primatial see for the entire island of Ireland, and Cardinal 0 Fiaich was the I 13th successor of St. Patrick.

A fluent speaker of Gaelic, the indigenous Irish language, the cardinal had been a well-known proponent of its revival.

Press favorable to pope Continued from Page One respect: Pope and CSG" (Carlos Salinas de Gortari).

Mexico's largest daily newspaper, Excelsior, ran a headline across eight columns that declared, "SOlidarity in the Commitment to the Common Good: Pope."

The daily Unomasuno followed the lead with "CSG and John Paul II coincide: Dialogue against rupture and force."

El Heraldo, considered to be the most pro-church daily newspaper in Mexico, ran a five-column color photo of the pope pensively listening to Salinas' welcoming speech and devoted its entire front page to the papal visit.

The conservative daily Novedades headlined its lead story "Pope asks for a just society," while the left-leaning La Jornada led with the headline: "Dialogue, symbol of the Salinas-John Paul meeting."

In their editorials, most newspapers emphasized the "historic encounter" between the two leaders, and several again focused on a "communion of sentiments" or "parallel concepts of Salinas and Wojtyla." The pope's given name is Karol Wojtyla.

Excelsior went further, quoting Salinas as saying the Mexican government seeks to build "a bridge between aspirations for freedom and economic opportunities" as evidence that there exists a "point of confluence between the Catholic religion and the policies of the Mexican state.'.!.

The papal visit received its first "bad press" May 7 following the pope's visit to the urban shantytown area of Chalco. There, he celebrated Mass and delivered a homily on poverty before a crowd estimated as high as 1.2 million people.

A news report late that day on the national Radio Centro network kicked offthe negative press, saying that the poorest of the poor "were marginalized" during the pope's Chalco visit.

The report said that "well-dressed special guests ... obtained the best places" inside the papal visit venue, while "the poor remained behind," unable to catch a glimpse of the pope.

While newspaper editorials lauded the pope's call to "solidarity" with the poor, reporters also pointed to the fact that the rich and powerful in Mexican society had the best seats during the papal Mass and homily in Chalco.

Excelsior reported that those who could not afford to pay the entrance fee of about $4 stood on rooftops or on the rain-soaked Xico Hill while "distinguished visitors, among them more than one Mexico state government official," had the best seats.

The daily Unomasuno also contrasted the section reserved for 2,000 priests, 45 bishops and ~pe­ cial guests with "the thousands and thousands who occupied points on surrounding hills" in order to see the pope.

La Jornada reported that "the 'well-off people occupied a good part of the fenced-off semicircle in the polygon area, with special invitees of the church hierarchy mixing with those who fl!lshed credentials distributed by the Mexico state government." The paper said that in addition to bishops, priests, religious and seminarians, the church invitees included many members of Mexico's pro-life movement, and the special section held scores of minor government officials and their families.

Aerial photos of the section reserved for distinguished visitors showed hundreds of empty seats, while the areas reserved for the general public were virtually full.

Still To Come Thus far the pope has been in Mexico City, the suburban slum area of Chalco, Veracruz, Durango and Chihuahua. Today he is in Tuxtla Gutierrez and Villahermosa. He will deliver a homily at Masses in both cities. .

Tomorrow brings a Mass in Zacatecas, also with a papal homily, and meetings with the Mexican bishops' conference and with intellectuals, both in Mexico City; also a meeting with priests, religious, seminarians and laity of the Tlalnepantla archdiocese.

On Sunday morning the pope leaves Mexico for Curacao, one of the main islands in the Netherlands Antilles, located about 40 miles north of Venezuela. There for a little less than seven hours, he will meet with government officials and religious leaders and will preach at a Mass during which children will receive first communion. He will depart for Rome at 10:15 p.m. EDT.

Feeding, hydration oj comatose Dear Editor: Following are a few words of commentary re the article in the Anchor of March 30 by Marcie Hickey regarding the recent symposium on the treating of problems associated with the terminal patient in a prolonged vegetative state, etc., as it impacts the socalled health care in our contemporary system.

Having spent 40 years in the area of diagnostic and therapeutic management of terminally ill and prolongedly comatose persons in hospital, nursing home and domestic settings, some observations, if you please.

The ever-increasing incidence of institutionalized care for persons in this category has complicated what had heretofore been a traditional policy of encouraging dying at home. The input, as expressed in the [Anchor] article, of Dr. John Delfs of Harvard University Medical School having to do with deg~ees of coma and reflex responses in a given clinical setting could profit by more emphasis on the swallowing reflex which can vary from time to time and invokes the ,notion that a person still possessed,'oHhe swallowing function can be mouth fed and hydratedalbeit requiring considerable time and patience.

The right to stop all food and hydration is not anyone's privilege, according to traditional humane treatment of terminal (or comatose) patients. This is implied in the Hippocratic. tradition in medical ethics.

The problem is self-evidently complicated by the introduction of legal judgments being invoked in the matter and by the dispersal, in many instances, of concerned family members. Moreover, -certainsurgical practices (i.e., abdominal gastrointestinal intubation) further complicate the decision as to food and fluid

Pro-Life Rosary Dear Editor: I enclose a booklet on the national Pro-Life Rosary planned for Mother's Day. The nationwide effort will serve as a spiritual, single voice to prayerfully benefit the unborn.

I received this booklet and a rosary from a lady who just happened to be walking along the Washington Monument grounds on the day of Rally for Life '90. 1, was carrying my favorite picture, which is the sorrowful Jesus holding an aborted baby. She was awestruck by the picture and asked me to take a pro-life rosary.

I thought it was not only a nice gesture on her part but also one of those little "gifts" we may receive that could go unnoticed or taken for granted if one was not aware of how God works in his mysterious ways.

We sponsored a bus from Taunton for the rally. My daughter Angela, 10, attended and was really touched \)y all that she,·saw. I'm hoping you will publish information on Sunday's rosary crusade so that as many parishes as possible can participate.

Mary Gauthier Taunton The Mother's nay prayer crusade described above will "employ the particular power ofthe rosary" between 3 and 4 p.m. Sunday to support the cause of the unborn and to "celebrate the joy of true motherhood," according to Rosaries for Life, among sponsors of the undertaking.

"People of all faiths and from all places are invited on this special day to join in a single cry for the unborn through the overwhelming power of prayer," said Robert Ziener, national chairman of the California-based organization.

At 3 p.m. Sunday, pro-life and rosary leaders from across the country will meet before the U.S. Supreme Court Building in Washington to recite 15 decades of the rosary, while walking around the edifICe seven times. This symbolic act will be supported by prayers of individuals and groups around the nation, in public, at church and at family tables.

Rosary jor pope Dear Editor: I remind ANCHOR friends to pray a birthday r<~sary for Pope John Paul II. He will be 70 years old on May 18.

Please pray that Our Lord, through Mary, bless him generously with light, strength and consolation.

For spiritualenrichment, I highly recommend reading the Holy Father's encyclicals. I recently read the letters "On the Mercy of God" (Father) "Redeemer of Man" (Son), "On the Holy Spirit in the Life.of the Chureh and the World", "Mother ofthe Redeemer" (Mary), "Guardian of the Redeemer" (Joseph).

I find the encyclicals beautifully written and edifying. They come in small inexpensive pamphlet form.

A Nursing Home Week Salute to Diocesan Health Care Facilities Loving service at diocesan homes In celebration of National Nursing Home Week, May 13to 19, the Fall River diocese recognizes the dedicated staff members of the four diocesan health facilities and the residents they so generously and lovingly serve.

Beginning with the opening of the first diocesan nursing home in 1939, the diocese has a half-century record of q,uality care for the aged and infirm in a Catholic atmosphere.

The four facilities, Catholic Memorial Home, Fall River; Our lady's Haven, Fairhaven; Marian Manor, Taunton; and Madonna Manor, North Attleboro, emptoyovert;OOO persons and serve-more-than03Oresidents.

-----All offer a wide variety of physical, spiritual and psychological services and are staffed by trained personnel.

Each home has its own chapel with services including daily Mass, other devotions and recitation of the rosary. The chapels are also a peaceful setting for personal prayer and meditation., Chaplains are either in residence or at a nearby rectory and residents may also receive visits from other priests or ministers at any time.

Wide-ranging recreational programs include parties, movies, bingo, games, educational programs, social hours and outings to stores, restaurants or entertainments.

All personnel strive to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere and to preserve the dignity, privacy and self-worth of each ~esident through personalized care.

Those Interested In further Information on any of the home~ may contact the facility directly or the Diocesan Office of Health Facilities, 368 North Main St., Fall River 02720; tel. 679-8154; Rev. Edmund J. Fitzgerald, director; Rev. Joseph M. Costa, assOciate director. u

lar vistas of the Taunton River.

Residents also enjoy watching the world go by while sitting in the airy first-floor solarium or in the beautifully landscaped garden fronting the facility.

Founded in 1939, CMH celebrated its golden jubilee with three days of events in September.

Now aided by a large staff, the Carmelite sisters have been an integral part of the home since its .beginning.

The order's foundress, Mother M. Angeline Teresa McCrory, approached Bishop James E. Cassidy of Fall River in 1937 about opening a home for the aged in the diocese. A fund drive followed, and its success, plus a legacy of $75,000 willed to the bishop, enabled construction of two homes: one for the elderly and one for retired and convalescing priests.

By 1939 the buildings were completed and furnished, and Mother Angeline appointed a staff of Carmelite Sisters for the home. The buildings were blessed by Bishop Cassidy on July I and 2, 1939, at ceremonies attended by most priests of the diocese.

CMH opened with 90 residents.

Over the years, it has expanded five times and thousands of aged persons and priests have benefited from the nursing home and priests' hostel.

Our Lady's Haven A visit to lovely Our Lady's Haven, 71 Center St. Fairhaven, is like a journey into Shakespeare's England. Henry H. Rogers, who commissioned its construction in 1904, modeled it after an Elizabethan hostelry. The great benefactor of the town of Fairhaven named what was his enormous guesthouse Tabitha Inn in honor of his great-grandmother.

Among early guests was Mark Twain, whose room is now proudly occupied by resident Evelyn Oliveira.

"This was Mark Twain's room," she informs visitors. "Isn't it beautiful?"

After Roger's death in 1909, the inn became a commercial hotel, and later, during World War II, housed Coast Guard frainees. In 1944 it was purchased by the Fall River diocese, enlarged and rechristened Our Lady's Haven.

The home's spacious lawns invite residents to the out-of-doors in warm weather and provide a beautiful ambience for the family-resident cookouts that are a Haven tradition. Within, especially in the

original inn area, interestinglyshaped rooms, some with fireplaces, reflect the Elizabethan influence. The former ballroom, recalled by some residents as the site of their wedding receptions, is now the home's chapel.

Staffed unta 1985 by the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm, the home, now administered' by Jean M. Golitz, serves 107 residents. Pastoral care is under direction of Father Lucien Jusseaume, who provides many special observances for residents in addition to regularly-scheduled Masses.

Renovations of the first floor, completed last December, saw conversion of 29 level III beds for residents requiring minimal care to 26 level II beds for those in need of skilled nursing. In the process, the floor was completely upgrad-ed, with corridors and rooms repainted and' refurnished and new carpeting installed.

Further renovations are planned to convert a library-sitting room to a main dining room, with space in the present dining area expected to become new resident rooms.

Marian Manor, 33 Summer St. Taunton, has undergone many transformations in its 28 years, beginning with its conyersion from what had been the taunton Inn, built in 1938 and purchased for the diocese in 1960 by the late Bishop James L. Connolly.

It opened as Marian Manor Rehabilitation Institute in 1962 . uDder direction of Msgr. ~aymona­ T.; Considine, then director of diocesan fa.cilities. By 1964, a new wing was needed and the Manor could accommodate 129-residents.

The Manor operated under regulations governing hospitals until 1976, when it changed to nursing home standards. Subsequently new safety regulations necessitated closing the third floor, where the 1930s construction was deemed hazardous. Consequently, the bed capacity dropped to 83.

Renovations of the first and second floors to comply with the Public Health and Life Safety Code

were completed in 1982, when firstfloor rooms were enlarged, a stairway tower was constructed to provide an emergency exit and a glassed-in bridge was added to connect the building's front wings.

Work is currently underway for the addition of a new elevator and stairwell..

Renovation of the third floor to -aaa4TleveI III mtermeolii.te nurs-:"ing beds and improvements on the second floor were completed last November, bringing the number of Manor beds to 116.

On the second floor, soft pink walls and rose carpeting replaced yellow walls and linoleum floor covering, while the third floor was decorated in blue and gray with a seaside theme in the sitting room.

Elsewhere in the Manor, decor is reminiscent of Taunton's past, recalled in part by framed photographs from the 1800s, copied from old glass negatives.

Taunton's yesterdays are also

recalled by many presentday residents, several of whom had their wedding receptions in what was then the Taunton Inn and enjoyed dining in the Taunton Room, now a reception office, and- the' Mill Room, now the activities area.

The former Haitian Room, a breakfast area, became a spacious chapel.

-A biforn-ostalgia remains In the lobby, which was left virtually intact, and in the Herring Run Room, the residents' main dining room, in which a glass-encIosed alcove containing trees, glass, flowers and a mill wheel remains as it was during the Taunton Inn days.

Marian Manor is now administered by Thomas F. Healy, and gentle spiritual support is provided by chaplain Father HughJ. Munro, himself wheelchair bound, who communicates his love of Mary, the Manor's patroness, to all beneath its roof.

Madonna Manor Mother Pierre Marie, then superior of the Dominican Sisters ofthe Charity of the Presentation, who staffed the facility until 1986.

The present administrator of the 120-bed home, Martha J. Daneault, strives to "look at the individual and meet his or her needs."

In judging the success of that mission, one need only ask Elinore Leary, who came to Madonna Manor in December from another nursing home. She has nothing but praise for her new home and its staff.

"The main factor" in her change

tMadonna Manor, the handsome bAck building at 85 North Washil1Jlon St., North Attleboro, has aa:.oiorful a history as its Taunton counterpart: like Marian Manor, it was once a downtown hostelry, opened in the 1920s as the Hixon Hotel.

-Bishop James L Connolly purchased the building for the diocese and did the honors at a 1964 groundbreaking for expansion. He was accompanied by Msgr. Raymond T. Considine, then director of diocesan health facilities; Mrs. Joseph Marsden, whose family had owned the Hixon Hotel; and

"was wanting a chapel," Mrs. Daneault noted, and on a typical day, Mrs. Leary was among residents streaming from morning services in the Manor chapel, tossing cheerful greetings as they passed the administrator's office. Father Justin J. Quinn is Madonna Manor's chaplain.

Mrs. Leary was returning to her first floor room for a session with Sue Savill, responsible for Mrs. Leary's restorative nursing care.

Restorative nursing, applied in conjunction with physical and occupational therapy, aims to help patients regain abilities previously impaired.

"Helping them gain some sort of independence" is always a priority, said Mrs. Daneault.

Through exercises which have increased her range of motion, Mrs. Leary has improved her ability to perform such tasks as dressing herself and walking short distances.

It is no wonder she says of staff members, "Aren't they wonderful?"

As all involved with the diocesan health facilities know, it is such individual successes which contribute to the overall caring, family atmosphere that makes these places homes, not institutions.

Leaders i,n life's journey "Our movement through life is a continual call to conversion, a call to compassionate caring for each other. It is a call to community. Since everyone is'movi ng toward a shared life together, no one should ever be abandoned. The elderly who, for reasons of frailty and economic vulnerability, are at risk can lead us in life's journey. Disregard for their plight is a denial of the deepest meaning of life as we understand it.

"The Church should be present at all levels of intervention on behalf of the elderly, especially those who,are frail, alone, and poor."

Selecting a gift for Mom

By Hilda Young How to select a Mother's Day present: If you are 5, say, "Mommy, wait until you see what I made for you at school for Mother's Day. A hint? I cut out a big red heart and pasted it on pink paper and wrote something on the heart. I know I can't read and write yet, but Miss Hummel helped us copy off the board. It starts with 'I' and ends with 'Mommy.' Boy, will you be surprised.' " If you are 9, say to your II-yearold sister: "Let's surprise Mom with b~eakfast in bed. I know we did it last year, but you did it all.

All I did was give her that mushy poem Mrs. Grundle made us write at school. OK, and I'll carry the tray with the French toast and won't drip syrup all over the covers like you did last year."

If you are 14, say to yourfather: "Are we going to take Mom out to breakfast for Mother's Day? Can I pay for her breakfast as my present?

Can you loan me the money? Hey, don't,you know it's bad for your adolescents' developing self-confidence to laugh at them like thatT' If you are 21, say to your roommate: "Tomorrow's Mother's Day? You gotta be kiddin' me."

Say to the florist, '" know tomor-

row is Mother's Day and you're buried with orders. But this is an emergency. OK, a day late is probably no biggie. Pay for it? Just a sec."

Say to your roommate, "Do you still have your dad's VISA number?

What do you mean you wanted to use mine?"

If you are 32 and have a child of your own, say to your spouse: "You know, it scares me. I hear myself saying stuff to the kids my mother said to me. I'm turning into my mother. Do you think I'll take ballroom dance lessons when I'm in. my 50s? How did she ever survive four of us and we only have two?

"For Mother's Day she said to come over'and she'd cook a nam.

And to bring her a card that says, , 'You told me so and you were right. Happy Mother's Day.' " If you are 50 plus, say or pray, to your mother: "For the sleep you missed because of me, I love you. For the times I ignored your advice and you let me screw up on my own, I love you. For the times you put your arms and love around me, I love you.

"For the times you said, 'Pray about it, too, honey,' I love you.

For being my mother, I love you.

Happy Mother's Day."

Columnist says bishops 'have right to "meddle" on abortion WASHINGTON (CNS) Colunmist Mark Shields has opined that U.S. bishops, in hiring public relations professionals to "persuade the electorate of the wisdom of their position" on abortion, are exercising "their right and [it] may be their obligation."

Published in The Washington Post May I, Shields' column said that the "pro-choice groups have shrewdly cast the abortion debate - after extensive polling and market testing - in terms of who is deciding rather than what is being decided."

That argument of keeping government out of personal decisions, he said, is libertarian. Yet, "liberals who have long advocated an activist, energetic government seem unbothered that similar arguments have been used against" laws regarding seat belts, drugs ~nd machine guns.

Shields noted -that the bishops "have been widely criticized" for. hiring the Hill and Knowlton public relations firm and the Wirthlin Group, a politically connected· polling firm from suburban Washington.

In 1886, Cardinal James Gibbons of Baltimore supported transit workers striking against a 17hour workday and was criticized

by The New York Times for "meddling in non-church affairs," Shields commented.

"The nation's Catholic bishops have continued to meddle in non-' church affairs," Shields said, listing their criticisms of President Ronald Reagan's policies affecting the poor, their endorsement of a nuclear freeze and their support for limits on funding for the Nicaraguan contras.

- "Until recently the-meddling of the Catholic bishops had played to positive reviews from the secular left of American politics," he wrote.

Now with their hiring of public relations help, he said, "the bishops have been publicly denounced as everything but moral lepers and ethical eunuchs."

The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. taught that religion was "not the master or the servant of the state but rather the conscience of the state," said Shields, quoting the late civil rights leader.

As for arguments that the bishops are wasting $5 million for public relations that might go for the poor, Shields cited good done by the $850 million spent last year by

"Hate law" enacted WASHINGTON (CNS)-President Bush has signed a law requiring the federal government to compile records on crimes of hatred against someone's race, religion, sexual orientation or ethnic background to help fight such crimes.

The legislation was backed by religious organizations, including the U.S. Catholic Conference, and by civil rights, police and public interest groups. The Justice Department will compile "hate crime" statistics through use ofthe annual uniform crime reporting program of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and a toll-free telephone number will be established for citizens reporting hate crimes.

Catholic Charities agencies on the homeless, the lonely, the hungry and on other social services. The public relatio~s campaign is to be financed by private donors.

"As long as Catholic bishops were' 'sentencing' Catholic politicians to hell (and shooting themselves in the foot politically), few pro-choice voices were critical," he wrote, referring to Auxiliary Bishop Austin B. Vaughan of New York saying in January that New York Gov. Mario Cuomo "seriously risks going to hell" for his stands on abortion.

"Now the bishops seek to persuade the electorate of the wisdom of their position," he concluded.

"In our country, that is their right and may be their obligation. Meddling is as American as apple pie and baseball."

Charities' award goes to Seattle SEATTLE (CNS)- - Archbishop Raymond G. Hunthausen of Seattle told some 150 diocesan Catholic Charities directors from around the United States that they "are called to the poor."

In accepting the Catholic Charities Directors' Award for an innovative approach to providing low-cost housing in the archdiocese, Archbisho'p Hunthausen challenged the directors to take risks when necessary.

The four-day conference, April 28-May I, was organized by Catholic Charities USA, which serves member organizations through consultation, planning and information.

"You are to do what it takes to build the new earth," the archbishop said, "to confront our society which remains bent on maintaining 50 percent of the earth's armaments in order to consume 50. percent of the earth's goods."

Further, the charities leaders must "call our church to the ongoing sacrifice which is required in serving our mission," he said.

"You are called to these risks because you are called to the poor," Archbishop Hunthausen said.

The Directors' Award went to the Seattle archdiocese in recognition of the fact that in eight years its Housing Authority has grown from 210 to 500 housing units and the number of archdiocesan facilities offfering care' for the elderly and/ or 'disabled, homeless men and the chronic mentally ill has increased from one to 10.

At a workshop, participants discussed implementation of the 1989 Catholic Charities USA's policy statement, "A Just Food System."

Representatives of several diocesan agencies described their efforts to confront hunger. Most involved food banks, collection of foodstuffs and funds, providing free meals and using federally funded programs for the poor.

Father Alfred Rockers, Catholic Charities director for the Diocese of Kansas City in Kansas, told The Progress, newspaper for the Seattle Archdiocese, that the statement "is still just a policy paper" and that urban and rural food outlet programs are "hand-to-mouth" emergency measures.

"Our work, good as it is, leaves the major task undone: How to stop the perpetuation of the problem of hunger," he said.

CRS asks flexibility in food programs WASHINGTON (CNS) Relief agencies dedicated to feeding the world's hungry need adequate funding, flexibility and freedom from constrictive red tape, a Catholic Relief Services official told Congress.

John Swenson, deputy executive director for the overseas relief and development agency, commented in written testimony for a recent hearing of the House For-' eign Affairs Subcommittee on International Economic Policy and Trade.

He specifically addressed ways to improve the federal Food for Peace program. The U.S. government's 36-year-old international food relief project, Food for Peace is due for renewed approval as part of the 1990 farm bill.

Since the inception of the program, Catholic Relief Services "has distributed more food to more countries than any other private organization," he said. But a few changes in the program are in order, he said, quoting from a General Accounting Office study.

The study reported that private voluntary organizations complain that their ability to implement effective food aid programs is hampered by inadequate funding of project expenses and cumbersome and unrealistic regulations.

Swenson said CRS supports allowing relief agencies to use 2 percent of program money allotted' them to pay for food distribution or field operations costs.

He explained that developing nations' "austerity programs.have forced them to make choices on public expenditures and we find, especially in Africa, that governments are simply not able or willing to make the necessary allocations offunds for logistical costs of food programs."

Swenson also recommended that food aid regulations take into consideration the realities of geography, climate and poorly developed transportation systems, which make "Iess-than-ideal operating conditions."

. Should you take yourself seriously? To get at an answer to that question, let's first go to a wedding that took place last June.

Heather, 19, was one 'of the bridesmaids and it was the first time she had been a member of a wedding party. For weeks her excitement had been building.

Luckily the June day dawned bright and cool, a perfect day.

The wedding went beautifully.

Heather played her part to perfec-

tion and, to her delight, she caught the bride's bouquet. , It was at the wedding reception that what Heather later referred to as "my catastrophe" occurred.

Part' of the reception was a buffet, mountains offood laid out on a long table on which were quite a few small white candles burning brightly.

Heather picked up a napkin, silverware and plate, walked down the table a bit and started spooning some potato salad onto her plate, not aware that her napkin had unfolded and was dangling from her hand.

As she began putting some ham on her plate, another bridesmaid screamed: "Heather, your napkin's on fire!" It had brushed a candle flame.

There was an instant of panic.

Instead of dropping the napkin on the floor, Heather flung it away from herself - and saw it land, . burning brightly, on the wedding cake!

That was Heather's "catastrophe." She apologized profusely, and the bride and groom were glad she had not been harmed.

Then from Heather came saving laughter. "Sometimes I do the dumbest things," she said grinning.

Heather, you see, is not grimly serious about herself all day long.

She is able to laugh at her foibles and her minor failings, for she has never claimed or expected to be perfect.

She could have looked at her

DA is 95 The Dominican Academy, Fall River, recently celebrated its 95th birthday.

A week of anniversary events began with a birthday ball, followed by an open house for alumnae, friends and prospective students on April 29.

The week also included a prayer service and thanksgiving Mass, a guest day with surprise visitors, and a faculty day with a special luncheon. On Student Day students did not wear uniforms and had no homework.

The week ended with two performances of Cinder~lla by DA students, bpth followe~. by the official birthday party complete with c~ke and other treats.

By TOM LENNON

"catastrophe" as a terrible humiliation. Instead she regarded it with humor and saved the day for herself and those around her.

This is not to say thatfleather walks down the yellow brick road laughing all the way 24 hours a day. Nor should any of us.

There is a serious aspect to our lives, too. Even on an ordinary, monotonous weekday important things happen to us, things that can in some way affect our eternity.

We may have to make a decision about whether to be mean or kind to a classmate. We may have to decide whether to obey or disobey our parents in some way.

An ordinary day may be the day when we finally are able to study well instead of goofing off. An ordinary day may be the one when we say no to a cigarette.

These are not major decisions -like whether or not to get married - but they are serious ones nonetheless. Life is fulrof them.

Maybe such decisions as these were- wHat St. Paul had in mind when he wrote, "Watch carefully how you live, not as foolish persons but as wise, making the most of the opportunity.... Try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord."

tv, movie news ,

By Eileen Flynn A short time ago I had an experience I found very upsetting.

I was on a panel at a public school. The subject was abortion and the give and take between panel and audience lasted more than two hours. When I left, I felt as though I had been through the wringer.

There was a lot of participation from the more than 200 high school students in the auditorium. What I heard them say troubled me deeply.

On the whole, they seemed comfortable with casual sex. They also seemed to consider abortion the way to eliminate a complication which frequently follows sexual activity.

Incredibly, abortion represented a practical remedy for a common indiscretion. Many students balked at the judgment that abortion is wrong morally and were barely civil to panelists who held that position.

Of course, I am generalizing.

Not everyone spoke and one has no way of knowing what the silent students were thinking.

However, there was one girl who spoke with a quiver in her voice and who kept me from total disillusionment.

She courageously asked her peers, "Am I the only one here who thinks it is wrong to destroy your own flesh and blood? How much violence are you willing to tolerate?"

Those of my copanelists who championed women's dominion over their bodies and safe, hygi- . enic abortions were applauded.

The majority of students showed little sympathy for the tiny, vulnerable lives flushed out during abortion.

I wish there were some way for me to communicate with young people who are swayed by proabortion rhetoric. If I were able to establish a channel of communication, I would urge adolescents to search their hearts until they discover the truths that life is sacred

and that violence against the unborn is wrong.

In spite of what you hear from popular music and see on television and movie screens, you should face the fact that sexual relations are not trivial. You need to admit to yourselves that you will be happier if you wait for sex until you are married.

We all need to ponder the question by the girl who asked, "How much violence are you willing to tolerate?"

All fonDS of violence are dehumanizing: violence against our own flesh, against an "enemy" in a military uniform, against the poor or homeless, against the criminal.

The basis of personal, emotional and spiritual well-being, as well as the survival of the planet, ultimately rests on the resolution to reject violence.

The young men and women I met who think that sex is something teens simply must have and that the abortion rights movement is a social phenomenon worthy' of applause have been misled.

They have swallowed whole a way of thinking which encourages irresponsibility and disregard for the rights of the next generation.

The only way to get beyond this confusion is to examine and reexamine abortion. Abortion can be very hard to confront. In spite of this, I hope that young people will give serious consideration to the moral, religous and human values at stake.

To them I say: I think you know how important it is to respect yourselves and your procreative potential. If you really are honest with yourself and open to the Holy Spirit, you will develop a sense of wisdom and the courage to act justly.

You will not be confused about how much violence you are willing to tolerate.

Directed by Gregg Champion, the one-joke comedy is an uneasy melange of slapstick humor, melodramatic sentimentality and action stunts, but its chief asset is Coleman, who knows how to wring a good laugh from slim material.

Family - oriented ministry topic of new handbook WASHiNGTON (CNS) "Families at the Center: A Handbook for Parish Ministry With a Family Perspective" has been published by the bishops' Committee on Marriage and Family Life of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.

It proposes incorporation of a family-oriented outlook in all parish programs, policies, ministries and services and provides suggestions on how to do that.

Among the suggestions: holding no activities on Sundays to encourage families to stay home; introducing newly engaged couples at Sunday Mass and asking the community to support them as

they prepare for marriage; inviting entire families to work on proje~ts such as food and clothing drives, care for the homeless an9 soup kitchens.
