women and men in campus ministry are in the service of the Lord, not handymen or handmaids for each other." She found that from the witness of women and men in the service of the Church, students associate discipleship of Christ with both genders. "Just as women and men are needed to perpetuate life," she explained, "women and men are also needed to perpetuate the Word of God." . Sister Donovan also added that the roles of women in the liturgy are changing to include altar servers and homilists. "Students," she said, "are keen to notice whether women and men in ministry value each other's work." Madeleine Grace, who taught

music in the Somerset school system and has been involved in many choral groups, explained that "God gave the gift of procreation as well as the gift of recreation." She added that the Church has always been a patron of the arts and that using a talent for sacred purposes promotes an awareness of one's own faith and that of others. "When I play music for funerals," she said, "it helps me cope with loss in my own life. When I play for a wedding, I reaffirm my own vows." "It's no't easy," said Kathy Hickman in her talk on volunteering for a local literacy program, "in a culture that determines success by stature, money and power, because Turn to Page 13

P. Ferreira noted a heartening increase in contributions at Saint Anthony's parish in Taunton, where he serves as pastor. "We appealed to the Christ-like spirit of generosity in our people," he explained, "reaching out to those less fortunate." In the Easter season, as Pentecost approaches, the readings in the Liturgy have been from the Acts of the Apostles, telling how the Spirit moved those in the first Christian community to share their worldly goods in common so that all could live in peace. This spirituality has been recaptured in the measure of support of contemporary Christians to the appeal of Bishop Sean for the resources needed to conduct our diocesan institutions, apostolates and ministries. From another part of the dio-

cese, Very Reverend Gerald T. Shovelton, Dean of the Cape Cod and Islands Deanery and pastor of Holy Trinity parish in West Harwich, noted that, in promoting the 1996 Appeal, he and parochial vicar Father Thomas A. Frechette have been building upon a deeprooted tradition of charity in that parish community of faith. "The people of Holy Trinity parish have always been concerned with those less fortunate," he noted, "and have been very loyal to the diocese," When contacted, Father Shovelton and members of the parish staff were processing additional returns gathered over the past weekend.

Diocesan Profile

Making stables keeps 78-year-old young By Christine Vieira Mills Anchor Stuff It was dark and cold and the winter wind blew through window openings in the wall. The smell of nearby sleeping animals mixed with that of freshly cut hay. Feathers fluttered from birds in the upstairs loft startled by the sudden movements of the new baby Iyi~g in the manger and of His parents reacting to care for Him. And ao'ove was a star, its light illuminating the scene. Of course the characters are only five inches tall lind might be made of plastic, ceramic or wood, but one can easily imagine the movement, a we-filled expressions, the whispering of wise mcn and the quiet cooing of the baby Jesus while admiring one of Jerry La Brie's handcrafted stables. The retired Fairhaven resident painstakingly creates amazingliY detailed artwork. For 25 years they have been a labor of love. "I love it," said the 78-year-old. "It keeps me going. If I'm feeling sick I come down here and work. I feel better immediately." La Brie uses the cellar of his home as a fully functioning workshop and, with French melodies playing in the background, he hews. whittles and glues his stables in assembly line fashion. Not forgetting that he is retired, he'll sometimes take a break to dance or strum along with the music on a coffee can "banjo." "I can't stay put!" he laughed. Always interested in building and fix-up projects, La Brie began his stable making 25 years ago when his daughter askcd him to build one for her nativ:ty set. "I didn't know how to make a stable," he said, "but I tried it and it came out pretty good." He then made stables for his other daughter and his son. "Now," he said, "everyone in the family knows what they're getting for gifts. I give many of them away." Since his first attempt, he has striven to increase his productivity by adding more detail to his stables, yet reducing his production hours.

the Little Flower, where Mass was celebrated on several occasions.

"When we moved. the new owners didn't want the town." he explained, "so I had to tear it down." All except the church, he added. "Some nice neighbors wanted it." A nice neighbor himself, La Brie, even after his retirement. never hesitated to remove snow from his neighbors' yards. "I wanted them to wake up and just be able to go and not have to bother shoveling." he said. "When we moved, they had a party for us and a cake." The cake was topped with mounds of white frosting and a little snow plow in the middle. "I was almost in tears," he said with a smile. "That really got me."

JERRY La Brie puts the finishing touches on his assembly line woodwork with care and precision. (Anchor/ Mills phc;>to) "As I work on them, I discover new ways to shorten the time," he said, displaying a variety of specialized tools and gadgets. "rigs,:' as he calls them, that tie has made primarily from things ,around the house such as rubber bands, hooks and clothespins. La Brie and his Wife Teri work together on the intricate details of the dozens of pieces that go into each stable. There are ladders to the loft. tiny shelves with tinier tools on them, and even iron pullrings and wormholes in the slats of the stable doors. "I used to have trained worms to make the wormholes," he joked, "but they died, so now I have to use a pencil." The various stable (iomponents are in bins, neatly labeled and stacked on the shelves above the artist's workbench. With everything so easily accessible, "in eight hours, I can put together about three stables," he said. "It gives him a lot Of joy," said his wife. "It's fascinating and a wonderful hobby."

La Brie doesn't always put in an eight hour day. Retirement offers him the freedom to do jobs around the house (a duplex which he and his wife share with their daughter Martha Lecomte and her family) and work in his yard. He is also still called upon from time to time to share his knowledge at Our Lady of Fatima parish, New Bedford, where he was maintenance man, landscape:r, and sexton for 10 years. His love for projects began much earlier, though, with Hobby/own in Dartmouth, a store specializing in hobby project supplies. that he and his brother owned and operated for 27 years. Before moving to Fairhaven, the La Bries lived in East Freetown, where he combined his love for building and his interest in the old West. Taking four years in the late 70s and early 80s, he built the town of Rockville. where he was mayor, police and fire chief, construction engineer and the entire population. Rockville was a west~ ern village of three-quarter size

Sharing Our Story It's that time of year when wedding bells and cash registers chime throughout the land. Weddings and all the hoopla that goes with them are big business. Perhaps that's one of the reasons so many who one day march up the aisle soon march before a probate judge seeking a divorce. If you want to know the size of the wedding business, you need only read one ofthe many newspaper inserts offered as wedding planners. A simple glance will tell you that couples planning marriage are victims. Once an engagement is announced, a nightmare of choices attacks them. Glancing through a wedding insert provides quite an education. Real priorities are ignored. In their place is a checklist probably drawn up by a chamber of commerce. The concept that marriage is something beyond the realm of the marketplace simply does not exist in the secular world and this is one of the basic reasons for our horrendous divorce rate. The marketplace rules, and couples are lost in a maze of renting halls and coping with the high-powered salesmanship of photographers, videographers, florists, disc jockeys, bridal consultants, jewelers and caterers. All take over to such an extent that it's easy for a confused and uncertain couple to become even more muddled. In such a setting, it's very difficult for the Church to compete with the merchants. However, we simply must get our own message on the sanctity of marriage across loud and clear. Programs sponsored by Pre-Cana and the Family Ministry Office of our diocese are doing a very credible job in this regard. It's also a great help to know that more and more parishes are requiring that couples attend premarital information sessions tailored to local needs. But it still seems that all that is not enough. The soap-opera approach that permeates our lives is very hard to dispel. Given the fact that more than a million children a year'are the victims of divorce, our mission is obvious. First, we must acknowledge that people will not be holy unless they are whole. Couples must learn to pray together. This does not happen in a mere instant of being "born again." .It is an ongoing process that continuously reenforces the concept that people are holy and are responsible and accountable for one another. This is the attitude we should be trying to instill in couples approaching marriage and family life, and indeed into the mentality, customs, laws and structures of our communities. In short, we must remember that the well-being of both the individual and of our social order is intimately linked with the community produced by healthy marriages and families. The power of these inseparable institutions is still manifest everywhere, despite the profound changes in modern society. The Church and her works must continuously reenforce the principle that marriage and love are of the Creator. God Himself, the author of marriage, has abundantly blessed this intimate relationship .modeled on His own with His Church. And this sacramental union gives men and women a unique opportunity to increase their own sanctity; With such an approach, couples can have true respect for life. There is thus an urgency in Church preparation of men and women for their wedding day. Let's not allow the commercial aspects of marriage to steal attention from what it is really all about.

"Wisdom is better than weapons of war." Ec 9:18

Jesus as Good S'hepherd still real toduy By Father Kevin J. Harrington One of the most endearing images of the New Testament is that of Jesus as the Good Shepherd. This image preserved in the tenth chapter ofJohn's gospel is most appropriately proclaimed in the Easter season. The fourth preface of the season attests to our new found hope in the risen Lord: "In him a new age has dawned, the long reign of sin and death is ended, a broken world has been renewed and man is once again made whole." Jesus fulfills the long awaited Old Testament promises that God Himself will come to shepherd his people. Not surprisingly, when Christians are asked to choose their favorite scripture passage, the overwhelming majority select the famous Psalm 23 that begins with the familiar "The Lord is my shepherd." We all have a vague idea what the role of a shepherd is b'ut onlya few people can say that they have ever known a shepherd personally. The Catholic faithful have often been referred to as a flock and many of our Church images such as the parish priest as a pastor or the custom of a diocesan bishop carrying a crozier or shepherd's staff hearken back to pastoral images. The first chosen people of God were nomadic. So it is easy to imagine why Jesus chose the image of the shepherd to express the relationship between God and the people. Normally the shepherd is not the owner of the sheep, but their leader and companion. A good shepherd was as rare as good hired help. Today many companies are aware that hired workers often do not work hard and use profit sharing as an incentive for their hired help. This was unheard

of in biblical times. Shepherds were .considered the lowest of all workers. All the great figures of Israel, such as David and Moses, were shepherds, to indicate that God uses .what is weakest in this world to work wonders. After Peter had denied Jesus three times he was asked three times by the risen Jesus: "Do you love me?" After each affirmative answer Peter was told to feed my lambs, tend my sheep and feed my sheep. Peter, although a fisherman by trade, lived in an age in which he knew well the responsibility of being a shepherd. When Peter first became a follower, he was told he would. become a fisher of men. There could be little doubt in Peter's mind that Jesus was giving him authority to be a shepherd of men. In time Peter proved himself a good shepherd. A good shepherd leads his sheep

to graze (feeds them), defel1.ds them from harm, and gives himself totally to the mission (giving hi!: life up for them if necessary). His authority comes from his own dedication to his sheep. Good Christians or members of the flock are characterized by these three things: I) they listen to the voice 01' Christ and pay attention to it; 2) they follow him through their <:onduct and commitment; and 3) tiley will not perish because Christ will protect and defend them. A shepherd of biblical times had two tools: a rod and a !:taff. A shepherd's rod was often heavy and spiked. It was meant to ward off marauders and tho:;e who intended to do harm to the sheepfold. The staff was a lighter instrument that was meant to gently guide the sheep from danger. A good shepherd was always one who would be considered resourceful. A shepherd was well aware that sheep tend t(l follow sheep and not the shephl~rd and there was always a great dfort to. seek out the sheep who strayed and lost their way. The sheep are very vulnerable and often unaware of the dangers that they may encounter. With a little imagination there can be small wonder why this image is so pertinent for Church leadership today.

This Sunday" s Message

by Dr. Patrick V. Reid

ST. JOSEPH

Awaiting the gift of the Spirit

Christian Life Center

Seventh Sunday of Easter Readings: Acts 1:12-14

I Peter 4:13-16

On this Sunday between the feasts of Ascension and Pentecost, the Church prepares us for the coming of the Spirit and the task of witnessing to the gospel in the world. Let us wait in confident hope for the coming of the Spirit as we sing the refrain of this Sunday's responsorial psalm: "I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living" (Ps 27). The reading from Acts describes the early community's actions immediately after Jesus ascended into heaven. Before his ascension Jesus had instructed the apostles to wait in Jerusalem for "the promise of the Father about which you have heard me speak; for John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit" (Acts I:4-5; see Lk 24:49). So now after witnessing Jesus' ascension on Mount Olivet, the apostles return to Jerusalem and go to the upper room to await the gift of the Spirit. While they are waiting, Luke tells us the apostles "devoted themselves to constant prayer." Luke emphasizes the prayer of Jesus at key points in his ministry: before his b2lptism (3: 12). before calling the 12 (6: 12), before asking his disciples whether they believe in him (9: 18), before the transfiguration (9:28), before. teaching the Our Father (II :2), in the Garden when he accepts his Father's will (22:41 ),.and on the cross as he commends his spirit to the Father (23:46). In imitation of their master, the disciples devote themselves 10 prayer as they await the Spirit. Luke also highlights the presence of other important people from Jesus' ministry besides the apostles. He mentions the women, Mary the mother of Jesus. and his brothers. In Luke's gospel the women are an important part of Jesus' missionary band from the beginning (8: 1-3). They remain faithful to Jesus through his death (23:49) and burial (23:55-56). They are also the ones who first discover the empty tomb when they come to anoint Jesus' body. and they are the first to announce the resurrection to the 12 (24: 112). Mary also has a special prominence in Luke's gospel. She might be called the first disciple because she heard and does the word of God (see Lk 1:26-38: 2: 19,51; 2:34f.; 8:21; II :27f.). Finally, the brothers of Jesus are important, especially James who will have a key leadership role in the Jerusalem community (see Lk 8:19-21; Acts 15:13-29). The reading from I Peter gives advice to those who are suffering persecution because of their Christian faith. Peter distinguishes between two types of suffering. If Christians "are insulted for the sake of Christ," they should rejoice in the knowledge that they "share Christ's suffering" and that "God's Spirit in its glory has come to rest on" them. However, if they suffer for being murderers, thieves, malefactors.

Winslow, Maine

John 17:1-11 or destroyers of others, rights-they are only paying the deserved punishment for their crimes. The gospel reading is from Jesus' prayer to the Father at the end of the Farewell Discourse in John. Jesus has come to his hour of glory when he is to return to the Father by being lifted up on the cross as the ultimate sign of God's love for the world. In the first part of the prayer Jesus asks that the Father glorify him. He has completed his "work" by giving the Father glory on the earth, that is, by revealing his love. Now Jesus asks the Father, "give me glory at your side, a glory I had with you before the world ~egan."

In the second part of the prayer Jesus prays for the disciples whom he is leaving behind in the world. He begins by praising them. They were given to him by the Father; they have kept the Father's word; they realize that Jesus has come from God and have received this message of truth. All of this can be summarized by saying that they have "eternal life" because they "know... the only true God" and "Jesus Christ" whom he sent. The word "know" here has the Semitic sense of intimacy, of sharing a common life. On the basis of this shared life, Jesus can say to the Father, "For these I pray - not for the world but for these you have given me, for they are really yours."

A moral compass PHILADELPHIA (CNS) For Pennsylvania Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert N.C. Nix Jr., religion has provided a moral compass and direction in a distinguished legal career. "Any law has to be predicated upon the divine," said the 67-year-old Nix, who will step down from the bench in July. "We are not as great as individuals as we think. We are no different from the other animals in the field except the good Lord has given us the ability to articulate our views at a higher level."

So often I hear parents talk about the work and the trouble and the fear of parenting. I acknowledge how challenging and difficult it is to be a parent, but I know from experience that this can be balanced by feeling. really feeling, the joyful side. That's probably why a new video designed to help parents see the miracle of their child and to draw them into the teaching side of parenting caught my . eye. The video was being played in an unusual place, a grocery store in Albany, N.Y. It clearly was designed to give young parents a lot of useful information about activities they could do with their child at home. What kept me watching, however, was not what the experts- and even the parents being filmed -were saying. It was what I saw on the faces of the fathers and mothers interviewed with their children. All were emanating joy. The parents were feeling the transforming love that a child brings, and this was showing on their faces. Naturally, I got curious, and being a reporter I wasted no time doing an interview. It turned out that the video and a spiral booklet acco!TIpanying it came, not from teachers and professionals. but from a couple, Antoinette and Patrick Renzi, a Catholic couple who are parents of three young children. Mrs. Renzi started out as a special ed teacher, getting both her undergrad uate and masters' degrees from a Catholic college in Albany, the College of St. Rose. As a specialist in early childhood education, she was getting calls from young mothers who were· "scared to death," inexperienced and feeling early on that they were already making mista\<es as parents. "Every child is different. but one thing is always the same. The bonding has to start very, very early. It's in the initial holding of that child in your arms where the building of trust begins, and this is the

basis for a child learning to behave the wa:y a good parent wants," said Mrs. Renzi. This means a parent has to spend time with the child, and this time together.'which will always be a learning experience for the child, should be shared fun, drenched in love.

.... Bottom III• • By Antoinette Bosco She began to look around for materials to help parents, herself included, and wasn't satisfied with what she saw. That's when she and her husband began to wonder if they could produce materials showing how important it is for parents to really spend time with their young child. seeing thf:mselves as teachers as well as parents. The couple decided to call their project Caring About Tomorrow, with their first effort, a video and book called "T.E.A.C.H.," standing for Togetherness Through Enjoyable Activities With Children at Home. Mrs. Renzi, enlisting the help of a pediatrician and two other child specialists, and her husband, a photographer and media consultant, worked hard and long but they made it happen. The materials include specific activities thl: couple had devised and used successfully with th,:ir own children. Most important, their product is'a key to help parents open up to the fun and the joy that should permeate the time they and their child spend together. Caring About Tomorrow can be contacted at 4 Dartmouth St" Albany, N,Y, 12209,

Every parish should have a Roselyn Hoggenberry. Truth is many do. and they don't know what an asset she is until she moves,' dies or is incapacitated. Roselyn Hoggenberries come in many styles 'and models. but the most serviceable ones are between 40 and 75 years old (hard to tell) and can stop a ~harging wildebeest by frowning at it. .. They are the sergeant majors of the church. They' get things done. They know stuff. They don't take guff from anyone - up to and including the pastor, pastoral associate. parish administrator or anyone else who might have his or her name on a parish's canonical operator's permit. While some people wring their -hands, Roselyn H oggenberries wring towels, wash rags and necks. When they talk. Knights of Columbus listen. When they seene~d. the St. Vincent group gears up. "What do you mean only five guys volunteered for the work party?" I heard our Roselyn tell our parish council president a couple years ago. "Give me that telephone." Wah-Ia: work committee. "If you expect people to help out just because it's the right thing to do. then you expect slugs to turn into butterflies," she once barked at me.

Or they don't have fun, but they are still glad they did it anyway and are happy which is all the sa!TIe thing. "But don't go lookin' for no bouquets for callin'

Pope says Mass needs quiet time VATICAN CITY (CNS) - One of the most important ways the Mass can respond to the needs of modern people is by including ample periods of silence in the celebration, Pope John Paul II said. "In a world pervaded by audiovisual messages of every kind, it is necessary to restore zones of silence which allow God to make his voice heard and allow souls to under. stand and welcome his word," the pope said recently in a meeting with members of the Congrega. tion for Worship and Sacraments. Onlya liturgy that includes times of silence, he said, can respond "to

the requirements and aims of the Christian life." Because the eucharistic celebration is the highest expression of the Catholic community's life and the very source of its holiness, it must be an exp'ression of the community's faith and meet the real needs of its members, the pope said. The pope said the liturgical changes mandated by the Second Vatican Council were not simply a' reform, but "a true and profound renewal" of Catholic liturgical life. The church's liturgical rules, he said, ensure that while including expressions of the celebrating com.munity~s culture, the Mass is a sign ~\::

of the unity of the whole cburch. The third post-;conciliar c:dition of the Roman Missal :- th(: Latin book of prayers and readings for Mass - is being prepared by the congregation, the pope said, and it will reflect "the experience offaith of whole generations togethc:r with many characteristic aspects of cultures which have been 'progressively transformed into Ch:ristian civilization... The pope also told congre:gation members that "the time has come to bring to an end" work on a new edition of the Roman Martyrology, a book-length cal~n(\ar of saints' and martyrs' fe~st ,days.

Is yearly confession an obligation? Q. Our group WllS discussing the sacrament of penance and disagreed whether or not yearly confession is an obligation" Most don't think it is mandatory. I'm up in years and always thought it was. Can you tell us who is right? (Wisconsin) A. If we're talking strict church law, any obligation concerning annual confession is binding only if it is necessary for a person to receive the Eucharist worthily. It is true that "to confess at least once a year" is generally considered an absolute regulation which every Catholic must follow. In its actual theology and sacramental practice, however, the church has always meant this to apply only when a mortal sin needs to be confesse:d. If you wish a specific example with which most older Catholics will be familiar, refer to the Baltimore Catechism No.3, for decades before Vatican Council II considered the most authoritative and official expression of the beliefs and practices of American Catholics. Question 293 asks, "What is meant by the commandment to confess our sins at least once a year?" The answer: "By the commandment to confess our sins at least once a year is meant that we are strictly obliged to make a good confession within the year, if we have a mortal sin to confess" (Baltimore Catechism, St. Joseph Edition). the canons of the Council of Trent (16th century) and of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) on the subject clearly support this interpretation. Our Code of Canon Law (No. 989) states that all are obliged to confess any serious sins once a year. As in past statements. the church does not intend to impose a new obligation here. It simply prescribes a time within which mortal sins should be confessed so that, if for no other reason, the Eucharist may be received. This rule is closely related, of course, to the requirement that all the faithful who have received first Communion should receive the Eucharist at least once a·year. Unless something stands in the way, this should be done during the Easter time, between the beginning of Lent and Pentecost (Canon law No. 920).

I hope it's obvious that we're talking of bare minimum, not what the church recommends. Any Catholic witl] even a minimal awareness of how this sacrament heals us in our sinfulness and strerigthens us to orient our lives in the direction of the Gospel of Christ will normally receive it more than once a year, mortal sin or not.

John J. Dietzen Q. Is it possible to receive the sacrament of pena!'ce over the telephone? It's hard for me to get out of my house and to church, but the priest tells me I can't go to confession that way. (Florida) A. As do the other sacraments, the sacrament of penance involves a personal dialogue and presence with the Catholic community on earth, in this case in the person of a priest as representative of Christ and of his body of believers. The official ritual for this sacrament points out often the social nature of penance. It involves reconciliation with all our brothers and sisters who form the family of faith, especially those who have been harmed by our sinfulness. Thus, the personal encounter with the earthly 'body of Christ, with the priest as their, and his, ordained representative, is essential. With this understanding of the sacraments, a tele.phone interaction does not fulfill the requirements for the sacramental forgiveness of sins. A free brochure answering questions Catholics ,ask about receiving the Holy Eucharist is available by sending a stamped self-addressed eOl'elope to Father John Dietzen, Holy Trinity Church, 704 N. Main St., Bloomington, III. 61701. Questions for this column should be sent to Father Dietzen at the same address.

thing, even if you have to cheat to get there. His parents were not churchgoers, he said, but they "were deeply moral people" who at dinner had serious conversations about what was right and wrong. They also talked to their children about the civil rights movement and gave them heroes to look up to. His book is sprinkled liberally with quotes from literature, law, education, writings ofphilosophers and theologians as well as from the "Catechism of the Catholic Church" and Pope John Paul II's encyclical "The Gospel of Life." "I believe it (the encyclical) is a very important document," Carter said. "Whether one agrees with every word of it or not, it's a very powerfully reasoned document and a very important one, I think, for our times. He also thinks that the influence of St. Thomas Aquinas and other Catholic theologians on recognition of the concept of integrity "can't be overstated." "I think that the insight the Christian theologians had was that integrity means figuring out God's will and doing it wholeheartedly whether you' want to or not, whether you like it or not," he continued. "My faith in God.as a Christian is very important ... to me in my writing and more important to me as time goes on," he said. "I'm trying more and more to talk about my faith in my writing for the reason I talk about iit in 'The Culture of Disbelief.' I don't want it to be something I shut off from other areas of my life."

Church looking into taping of (»tiest hearing confession for inmate EUGENE, Ore. (eNS) - Officials of the Archdiocese of Portland were investigating the secret tape recording of a priest hearing confession for an inmate suspected of murder. When Father Tim Mockaitis, pastor ofSt. Paul parish in Eugene, administered the sacrament of reconciliation to inmate Conan Wayne Hale in the lane County Jail, the conversation was being recorded by Lane County jailers, but the priest was unaware of the taping. Prosecutors said they obtained the tape, and a court order allowed investigators to listen to it, but its admissibility in court was still in question. Hale, 20, was bf:ing held on $180,000 bail on charges of burglary and theft in connection with the murders of three teenagers. He had not been charged with the murders but was a suspect. His trial was set for June.

The archdiocese in a statement said that while an investigation of the taping was still under way, "the bonds of sacramental confession are held by the church to be inviolable. " "The strict confidentiality of the sacrament not only has long standing ... in the church, but is a privileged relationship recognized in Oregon law. This incident appears to have been a violation of this private, confidential, privileged relationship." Auxiliary Bishop Kenneth D. Steiner, archdiocesan administrator, said that "absolute confidentiality is intrinsic to the sacrament." "It cannot be compromised," he wrote in a letter prepared for pastors to read in all parishes in the Portland Archdiocese at Masses the weekend of May 11-12. "I n response to the civil authorities' shocking disregard of our religious practice, I have asked the

Catholic musiciansform new association at A rkansas retreat EUREKA SPRINGS, Ark. (CNS) - Catholic musicians from around the country headed to Arkansas in April for a retreat that launched the new Catholic Musicians Association. The April 25-28 gathering was hosted by musician John Michael Talbot at his Little Portion Retreat and Training Center in Eureka Springs. Many of the musicians who attended are in theCatholic recording and concert field, including Talbot, Tony Melendez, Michael Card and Dana. Kathy Troccoli had hoped to attend but could not due to illness. While on retreat, the musicians performed two free public concerts. At the second concert, 19 performers and groups were featured. Most of the 250 who attended stayed for the whole show, to Talbot's surprise. "A full half or more of the performances got spontaneous ovations," Talbot told the Arkansas Catholic, newspaper of the Diocese of Little Rock. Many of the musicians who came to retreat are not well known outside their home area. "Many of them had heard of each other for ye'ars but never met," Talbot said. "It was ajoy to see them interrelate wi.th each other. they were humble and shared their gifts and appreciation. There were no egos here." "These musicians are right down the line with Catholic teachings and the new catechism," he added. Catholic music is "not always a fit" with the more established Christian contemporary music industry, which is made up largely of evangelical Protestants and has an undercurrent of anti-Catholicism from years past. Contemporary Christian music was first stimulated by the folk Masses of the 1960s and early 1970s but its growth has been more part of the evangelical Protestant 'movement, according to Talbot. Speakers at the retreat included music industry managers, distributors, booking agents and record prod ucers, offering guidance on how Catholic musicians can reach broader audiences.

Talbot said he was pleased with the turnout. "These artists have a deep faith and the music is their ministry," he said. "The widespread feeling among the 40 or so musicians present was that they were blessed to have this spiritual gift of m~sic, however things worked out." The retreat's goal was to establish a network of support for Catholic musicians. The new-association organized three committees, one each for recording and, production, management and bookings, and promotion and marketing. Talbot said he envisioned that this would become a structured ministry in every Catholic diocese. "If there was a place for Catholic musicians to share their talent and be themselves without compromising their faith, I really believe there would be more Catholic musicians," said Melendez in a column about the retreat for the North Texas Catholic, newspaper of the Diocese of Fort Worth, Texas. "The contempoqlfy Ch'ristian music industry has established organizational structures that nurture and respond to its artists," Melendez said, adding that Catholic artists "might not find themselves easily acceptl;d by the contemporary Christian music people because of divisions between different expressions of the Christian faith." "Because we are aware of the phenomenon of Christian celebrities, we will work to nurture 'saints' rather than 'stars,'" he added. "We will emphasize holiness of lifestyle in accord with the teachings of the church rather than making popularity alone the path for achieving success and leadership."

Lane County district attorney to destroy the tape and to guarantee the future integrity of the sacrament for the incarcerated," Bishop Steiner said. He added it was county authorities, not the priest, who violated the sacrament, and "in no way did he break the sacramental seal or betray his priestly responsibility." Oregon law exempts Catholic clergy and ministers of other faiths from being questioned about private conversations, but according to District Attorney Doug Harcleroad it does allow the recording of conversations inside jails and does not exempt sacramental confessions. "We are trying to solve a triple homicide. We will use all legal means to do that," Harcleroad was quoted as saying May 8. Harcleroad said, however, that this was the first time he knew of where a conversation had been recorded without the knowledge of the minister or priest. "Certainly, as far as the church is concerned, that is privileged information and should not be used in a court of law," Father Mockaitis told the Register-Guard, a daily newspaper in Eugene. Archdiocesan officials said they were exploring possible legal action, noting that the incident had implications for ch:rgy and ministers of all faiths. The church's lawyers have met with Eugene officials in an effort to find out who authorized the recording and how often such private meetings were recorded.

."Hail" Mary doesn'tjully convey joy at the Annun~iation VATICAN CITY (CNS) Translations ofthe Angel Gabriel's greeting to Mary - "Ave, Maria" in Latin and "Hail, Mary" in English - do not fully convey the joy with which she was to receive the· news of her divine m(ltherhood, Pope John Paul II said. A better translation of the New Testament Greek would be "Rejoice, Mary," the pope said May I at his weekly general audience. "Ave" and "Hail," he said, are simple expressions of greeting "which do not seem to correspond fully to the intentions ofthe divine messenger and the context in wh~ch the meeting occurs." ·"We must not forget that the angel is aware of bringing an announcement which is unique in human history: a simple, normal greeting, then, would seem out of place," the pope said. Continuing a series of audience talks about Mary's role in salva-

tion history, the pope said the tr&nslations should match more closely the words of Old Testament prophets calling on the "daughter of Sion" to shout for joy, be glad, exalt and rejoice. At the beginning of the month the Catholic Church dedicates to Mary, the pope did not go so far as to . recommend a change in the translation of the traditional Hail Mary prayer. Mary, he said,. is the "new daughter of Sion" who welcomes the Messiah into the worl9 on .behalf of all humanity. "It is significant that a woman plays this role," he said. "More and better than any other member of the chosen people, she can offer the Lord the true heart of a bride." At the end of the audience, held on the feast day of St. Joseph the Worker - Labor Day in much of. the world - the pope prayed the saint would protect .all workers and become a model for them in their professional and family lives.

ADVANCED PHOTOGRAPHY and computer imaging techniques are aiding scholars at the University of Southern California in piecing together fragments of the Dead Sea S(:ro11s. Experts said the technology can be used to join pieces of the ancient texts which are scattered around the world. (CNS photo courtesy of West Semitic Research)

Dead Sea Scrolls enter the computer LOS ANGELES (CNS) Scholars at the University of Southern California are using advanced photographic and computer imaging to help solve thejigsaw puzzles·of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Bruce Zuckerman and Marilyn Lundberg, Sen:titic language specialists, have electronically rejoined and restored pieces of the Dead Sea Scrolls separated for nearly half a century. They believe it is a first for electronic restoration. "The implications are enormous," Zuckerman said in an announcement from the university about the te~hnology. "Now you don't have to touch the real fragments. All you have to do is move their electronic images. "The technology gives us the ability to join, and clearly read, fragments of documents - such as the Dead Sea Scrolls - that are physically scattered in libraries and research institutes around the world." The scrolls consist of about 812 complete or fragmentary biblical manuscripts and texts ofthe Essene

sect, most in Hebrew, some in Aramaic and Greek, that date from about 200 B.C. to 70 A.D. They were found in desert caves at Qumran, west of the Dead Sea in the West Bank, from 1947 to 1956. Zuckerman, an associate professor at the university's School of Religion, heads its West Semitic Research Project. He specializes in photographing archaic script, using advanced infrared and other techniques to document ancient writings on parchment, stone and clay tablets, and other media from antiquity. Ms. Lundberg, an authority on the Hebrew Bible, has worked with Zuckerman for many years and last fall was a visiting instructor at the university. The biblical fragments they joined electronically are part of an Aramaic manuscript of the Old Testament, or Hebrew, Book of Daniel. In the passage, three friends of the prophet Daniel defy the Babylonian' king's order to worship idols. The king has them cast into a fiery furnace where God saves them. Zuckerman said the fragment itself is of minor significance, but "the implications for the ability to use and wed advanced photographic and electronic techniques are profound." The researchers presented their initial findings at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion/ Society for Biblical Literature last November. Their results will be published later this year in the Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon Newsletter. The project began in March 1995 when Zuckerman was asked to photograph "scraps" from the Dead Sea Scrolls. Usingan infrare~ technique that enables a camera to see writing invisible to the naked eye, the researchers foundinscriptions on two fragments, one of them containing letters in a distinctive scribal hand. Next, they tried to determine where in the scroll the fragments. belonged. The scholars pored over hundreds of early photographs of documents found in Cave One, which was the earliest find. They noticed that the letters on one of their fragments matched ,the style

a1~e

of a document classifi,ed as "IQDaniel b." Based on a visual comparison of a 1949 photo of the document with their 1995 photo of the fragment, they suspected a match. "We had the jigsaw puzzle pieces in place," said Zuckerman, "but without the computer imaging capability we had no easy way of putting them together." The researchers scanned both photos, resizing them to the same scale. Then, with electronic scissors, they cut out the small fragment image and floated it next to the 1949 image of the larger, more readable document and confirmed a match. They "rebuilt the document in the scribe's own handwriting," Zuckerman said. By electronically cloning Aramaic characters from the ·larger document, they could replicate the character outli:nes and fill in missing pieces of letters on the fragment. This pioneering restoration work on the Book of Daniel is the first work completed by the Ancient Manuscripts Digitalization and Distribution Project of the West Semitic Research Project based at the university's Leavey Library. The researchers admit that electronic restoration raises ethical questions, for now it is pos:,ible to alter an image to make it say anything. But they believe that careful documentation of restoration work will answer such concerns. "Anyone else can take the same information and see for themselves whether it looks valid or not," said Zuckerman. Other imaging projects under way include studies of a necently discovered Phoenician text dating from the 8th century B.C. and reconstruction of early columns of the Genesis Apocryphon, another Dead Sea Scroll, from scattered, previously separated fragments.

at first an immigrant church living on the outside of society; but now there is no sector of which Catholics are not a part. "The reason the Church is concerned with the political process is because it is concerned with dignity," he added. "If the Church wasn't involved many people would be very surprised." He explained that human rights are a moral claim to a good that is necessary for human dignity. "It may not be possible to create a world where no innocent children suffer," he said, "but we can create a world where fewer children suffer."

Priests in attendance who also celebrated anniversaries were DCCW moderator Monsignor Daniel Hoye (24th) and Father Stephen Salvador(22nd). Perhaps, though, the biggest round of applause was given to one councilwoman who, on the occasion of her 96th birthday,' immediately jumped up to take a bow. The convention was dedicated to Alice R. Loew, who stood tearfully to be recognized. "She has been actively involved and has worked in every aspect and level of the Council since its beginning," said Mrs. Lancisi. "She is known to all as gracious, caring and ever true to Catholic values." Publicity for the convention was arranged by each of the five district vice presidents and in lieu of souvenirs for the delegates, committee chairs agreed to donate $150 to St. Mathieu Residence for women. Principal Speaker The principal speaker for the day was Father J. Bryan Hehir, Professor of the Practice of Religion and Society at Harvard Divinity School and executive committee member at the Harvard Center of International Affairs, who presented "People of Prayer in Politics and Ministry." He spoke of how religion and politics affect one another and the roots of the Catholic social vision, and discussed case studies on how human rights and dignity are foremost in importance. "Catholics are the largest and most diverse religious community," he said. He explained that in the United States Catholics were

Liturgy and Awards The convention day concluded with a Mass, celebrated by Bishop Sean O'Malley and Our Lady of Good Counsel (the patroness of the DCCW) awards presentation. Bishop O'Malley presented a wards to Doris Pytel, St. Patrick Church, Somerset; Janice Monte, St. Mary Church, South Dartmouth; Marilyn Leddy, St. Mary Church, Seekonk; and Annette Sullivan, St. Elizabeth Seton, North Falmouth. Award winner Mildred Gedritis of St. Paul Church, Taunton, was not present. The awards are given annually to one woman from each district who is specially active in council activities. Perhaps the purpose of the day was summarized best by Katherine Lancisi's remarks in her president's message: "We are women, mothers, nurturers, compassionate, and able to bring peace," she said' evoking hearty applause.

INSENSITIVE How do you cool your lips After a summer's kiss How do you rid the swe~t After the body bliss How do you turn your eyes From the romantic glare How do you tilock the sound Of a voice you would know anywhere? (Refrain) Oh I really should have known By the time you drove me home By the vagueness In your eyes Yourcasualgoodbyes By the chili In your embrace The expression on your face That told me Maybe you might have Some advice to give On how to be Insensitive How do you numb your skin After the warmest touch How do you slow your blood After the body rush How do you free your soul After you've found a friend How do you teach your heart It's ~I crime to fall In love again? Oh you probably won't remember me It's probably ancient history I'm one of the chosen few Whel went ahead and fell for you I'm Clut of vogue, I'm out of touch I fell to trust, I feel too, too much I thought you might have some advlc~ Some advice to give On how to be Insensitive. Written by Anne Loree sung by Jann Arden Copyright 1994 by PolyGram Songs Inc.lFrankly Shirley M~slc JANN ARDEN'S "Insensitive" easily attracted my listening ear. I liked thl~ cassingle's sound. In fact, her entire "Living Under June" disc is refreshing in its musical approach. The song addresses how one can get used in a relationship. The woman in the song has been led on. The affection expressed for her was simply feigned

Now she wants to know: "How do you free your soul after you've found a friend? How do you teach your heart, it's a crime to fall in love again?" . She is convinced that this fleeting romance has been filed under "ancient history" by the insensitive person she thought . she really cared about. In her

hurt, she says sarcastically, "I thought you Illight have some advice, some advice to give on how to be insensitive." This woman needs路 to reflect on how - and why - ~he allowed herself to get used. Sometimes people go all too fast in romance. As I have stated in these columns before, falling in love isn't supposed to mean losing your mind! The song suggests that the relationship quickly became physical. Clearly, limits on affection and physical touch were not established. Don't permit' yourself to be used by another just for his or her physical and sexual satisfaction. If an individual will not respect your moral limits, no matter what words may be expressed, love is 'not what he or she intends for you. Another mistake that the person in the song made was in trusting so much so fast. One of the purposes of dating is to learn about another over a long period of time. . When dating, observe how you are being treated. Are your choices and opinions valued? What happens when conflict emerges? Love does not mean agreeing on everything, but it does allow for differences while working toward ways to solve problems with fairness and respect. If you discover that you are being used in a relationship, 'act firmly to leave it. You have made a mistake in permitting this to happen. Yet, to continue to endure another's insensitivity is to sacrifice your selfrespect. The price is too high!

Your comments are always welcome. Please address: Charlie Martin, RR 3, Box iS2, Rockport, IN 47635.

THE COYLE and Cassidy High School physics team took home a first-place trophy from the Physics Olympics held recently at Massachusetts Institute 'of Technology. Members of the team were:' (I to r) Joe Hager, Mike Hocking, Alicia Brillo, Matt Pelletier, Tara Henault, Kathy Donoghue and Kelly Karsner. (Members not pictured were Kathleen George, Kim Damon and Taryn Carbone.)

C-C students right on target They Physics Olympics were held recently at Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology, in conjunction with the spring meeting of the New England Section of the American Association of' Physics Teachers. The all-junior team from Coyle and路 Cassidy High School, Taunton, traveled to MIT with one purpose - to have fun doing the best they could. Their best was good enough to win one of the six first-place trophies up for grabs. The event the C-C students won was the "Projectile Motion" event. The challenge of this event was to determi ne where along a curved

track to release a metal ball so that it would roll down the ramp, across a flat table and then fall to the floor striking target at a fixed distance from the table. The C-C .effort placed the ball exactly on the bullseye, a feat no other school could match.

Members of the sharpshooting team were Joseph Hager, Michael Hocking, Tara Henault, Kathleen George, Kim Damon, Alicia Brillo, Kathleen Donoghue, Matthew Pelletier, Kelly Karsner and Taryn Carbone. In all, 17 schools competed in . the Olympics.

Our Lady of Lourdes, Taunton The fifth grade science class at Our Lady of Lourdes School, Taunton, recently held a competition entitled "Sink and Float." Each team involved in the competition was supplied with a piece of aluminum foil and two wooden tongue depressors. With these materials, they' had to design

a boat that would float and support the weight of several marbles. The winning team was corpprised of Allison Elias, Stephanie Lima, Tiffany Rodrigues, Lynne Vasconcellos, Claire Thompson and Steven Vieira. The winning team's boat supported a total weight of 405 grams.

ConIlolly students eXcel in science Jason Gleghorn, who recently won the Region III Science Fair, held in Fall River, with a first place ranking, has gone on to win the Massachusetts State Science Fair. His project explores his design for a space shuttle and fueling system and has already gained the attention of NASA (Anchor 3/15/96). Jason, a senior at Bishop Connolly High School, Fall River, garnered a first place ranking out of 300 competitors. He won the Annenbergaward from Annenberg Society and has been designated a National Youth Scil:nce Camp (NYSC) delegate. To qualify, students must intend to pursue a profession in the fields of science or mathematics; demonstrate superior academic proficiency, including recognition in mathematics and/ or science; demonstrate leadership abilities and social maturity through involvement in both school and community activities; demonst rate skills and achievements outside the. realm of science and academic pursuits;

and demonstrate curiosity and eagerness to explore many and varied topics. The four-week summer program. held in West Virginia, is geared to honor and encourage versatile, intelligent, highly motivated students路 who will one day provide the thoughtful scientific leadership necessary in a H:chnological age. Two graduating high school seniors are chosen froni each state and the District of Columbia to participate in this science camp 路program. Delegates are chosen by a committee appointed by the governor of each state through a competitive process. Jason is the son of M r. and Mrs. Thomas Gleghorn of Dartmouth. At Connolly, he is a member of the National Honor Society, the French National Honor Society. and Paw Prints, the school newspaper. He runs winter and spring track and is active in campus ministry. He is also a member of the bishop's Diocesan Pastoral Council.

Daniel Murphy, a junior and the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Murphy of Portsmouth, has been named winner of the annual Bausch & Lomb Science Award. The award, a bronze medal, is presented each year to winners at approximately 6,500 participating schools throughout the United States, Canada and several foreign nations. More than 400,000 medais have been awarded to outstanding science students since the program began in 1933. - According to Anthony S. Nunes, principal, who presented the award, "The Bausch & Lomb Science Award .is especially significant because it recognizes the junior student at our school who has attained the highest scholastic standing in science subjects." . As winner of the award, Dan is eligible to apply to' become a University of Rochester Bausch & Lomb Scholar. This designation carries with it scholarship funds, the minimum amount being $24,000 ($6,000 per year for four years).
