Civil Rights and the Catholic League .

The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights recently published its first report on the state of anti-Catholicism in the United States. Its purpose is to educate the public and hopefully to have an impact on decision-makers in government, education and the media. The League, the largest Catholic civil rights organization in the nation, is dedicated to eliminating anti-Catholicism in our social order. It's not a tremendously large group, but it is determined and is much needed in today's secular society.

Indeed, headlines and news stories give daily evidence of the sad state of our society and the church's is one of the few voices preaching the sanctity of marriage, respect for all life, ethical and moral responsibility and accountability for one's actions.

In many areas of our society this is a most unpopular attitude ilOd we see an increasingly bigoted response to the message of the church, as evidenced by attacks on her sacraments and rites.

In recent times a chief target has been the clergy, as evidenced by the cruel caricature of the priesthood in the film "Priest." When bishops and priests attempt a response to such 'vicious attacks, they are written off as second-class rejects.

The Catholic League seeks to raise the level of consciousness on these matters among Catholic laity and to encourage them to come to the defense of the church. It emphasizes that an attack on the church is an attack on all Catholics. The League is, in fact, an extension of the church's mission in the marketplace and its work is indeed needed today when antiCatholicism is seen in all areas of society, from activists' organizations to the arts.

Catholic-bashing in schools is on the rise, especially in colleges and universities, and is tolerated by too many educators under the guise offree speech. But what too many ignore is the difference between those who disagree and those who disdain.

There is a difference between criticism and insult, between dialogue and diatribe. it-is abo~t,time that those who make it their business to engage in anti-Catholicism are called to task and indeed to court.

Our brothers and sisters in the NAACP and the Jewish Anti-Defamation League never tolerate such bigotry as is suffered by the Catholic Church. It's about time Catholics took a leaf out of their books and started to hold bigots publicly accountable.. .I or their behavior and actions. It's the only way to diminish the snowballing effects of their behavior.

It is imperative to curb or better, eradicate, all forms of social, religious or cultural discrimination. All are incompatible with God's design and certainly with the Constitution of the United States. ' .

In an age when we are in many ways drawing more closely together, goodwill among people must be strengthened, not shattered. The church has always held it to be her duty to foster unity, charity and realization of what all peoples have in common. She rejects as contrary to the will of Christ any discrimination or harassment against people on the basis of race, religion or color. As she teaches, she expects to be treated. The Catholic League is a strong voice upholding the rights and defending the freedoms of American Catholicism.

Let us join with it to say that all of us have had enough of Catholic bashing in America!

"They didn't know what I was saying, but it,was easy to get them laughing," he said. "In their innocence they handle this better than adults. The children don't know how ill they are."

Father McMahon said the children would not necessarily remain in the hospitals" that some might live at home and return from time to time so doctors could treat them and study their development.

He said the children's relieffund also worked with Ukrainian authorities to arrange a seminar for doctors dealing with radiation victims, and sent some American specialists to lead it.

In Ukraine, doctors involv\:d in research and those in practice tend to remain separate, but the seminar brought them together for interchange with each other as well as with the American specialists, Father McMahon said.

The indwelling of peace Acts 15:1-2,22-29 Revelation 21:10-.4,22-23 John 14:23-:29 As the Easter season moves toward completion, the Church's liturgy prepares for the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost and its universal mission in the service of the gospel. This Sunday's readings assure the Church of God's continual presence within her midst as she struggles to be "true" to Jesus' challenge to love as he has.

The Church is not called to an introverted life of self·,serving preservation; her mission is to show forth God's loving presence to all peoples. Despite her necessary struggles in striving to be faithful to the gospel, she is to be marked by peace. Only in this way can we sing today's psalm response: "0 God,let all the nations praise you" (Ps 67).

The first reading from Acts recounts the important Council of Jerusalem which settled the crucial question of whether or not the salvation of Gentile converts to Christianity depended upon their being "circumcised according to Mosaic practice." This controversy bitterly divided the early Church, but through the guidance of the Holy Spirit it was able to reach a decision to expand beyond its Jewish origins and preach the gospel to peoples of all cult ures. In their preaching to the Gentiles, Paul and Barnabas had not required circumcision, bl.\t other .m.en from Judea insisted on its necessity (see Genesis 17).

In their deliberations, the apostles and elders, on the basis of Peter's testimony about his baptism of the Roman centurion Cornelius (Acts 15:6-12), decide not to require that Gentiles be circumcised nor obey th(: whole Mosaic code. The letter sent "to the brothe~s of Gentile origin in Antioch" sImply asks that they observe the minimal requirements of non-Jews living among Jews: abstaining from meat sacrificed to idols, from blood, from meat of strangled animals and from illicit sexual union (see Leviticus 17-18). Obedience to these prohibitions would insure that the Gentile converts could participate in table fellowship with their Jewish Christian brethren.

By DR. PATRICK V. REID The second reading from ReveI~t!on continues last Sunday's vIsion of God's new creation by focusing on the heavenly Jerusalem which is the bride of the Lamb. This is John of Patmos' vision of the final salvation which awaits God's faithful saints. He deliberately contrasts the new Jerusalem with its antitype - the selfish, bloodthirsty whore of Babylon ~see Revelation 17). Drawing upon Imagery found in the writings of the prophets (see Ezekiel 40-48 and Isaiah 60-62), John describes a city which radiates the presence of God. Its precious stones "gleam with the splendor of God." The massive walls have twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes and protected by angels. On the foundation stones are written the names ofthe twelve apos~les of the Lamb. God's prese~cels sQ compl.et¢ t.hat, there is nQ, need. for 'a 'temple" nor' tne lig!li" prOVided by the sun or moon. God and the Lamb are the temple, and their glory provide light for the city.

In the gospel, Jesus' words to his disciples from John's farewell discourse promise God's transforming presence to those who strive to be true to Jesus' command ofIove.

imminent departure, the disciples are understandably afraid, but Jesus assures them "Do not be distressed or fearful." His death and resurrection will be a return to the Father which will be followed by a new, even superior, presence with the disciples in which he and the Father and the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, will dwell with them.

The Paraclete's role will be to instruct and remind the disciples of all that Jesus told them, so that after the resurrection the significance of Jesus' actions and words will be clear (see John 2:22). Jesus promises that God's indwelling with the disciples after the resurrection will bring them the gift of peace, not the worldly peace of contending political powers, but the peace of those who keep God's command of love. "'Peace' is my farewell gift to you; my peace is my gift to you; I do not give it to you as the world gives peace."

Pope decries "barbarianism" VATICAN CITY (CNS) - Pope John Paul II has condemned renewed fighting in Bosnia-Herzegovina that has cl~imed the lives of a priest and nun who died in the bombing of a parish church.

"Who can remain silent and inactive in the face of such barbarianism? Who can approve of such savagery, from whatever side it comes?" the pope said May 14.

"Enough hatred! Enough blood!

Enough war! Whoever is responsible for suc.h acts and whoever plans them WIll answer to God and ' t? a.1I pe~ple," he. said in a voice nngmg WIth emotIOn.

Death on the highway

By Antoinette Bosco

Few people are aware of the fatalities on our highways because of truck accidents, which are increasing each year.

It scares me to realize that the number of people killed in accidents involving trucks over the last 12 years - more than 50,000 - nearly equals the number of Americans killed in Vietnam during that 12year war.

I recall my own recent experience when driving on a highway.

All of a sudden a huge trailor truc\< was practically on top of my compa'ct car. Blasting on his horn, the driver then swerved into the passing lane.

I was shook up, to say the least, and convinced that the driver had been behind the wheel all night and probably had dozed for a moment. If he hadn't become alert enough to see me, that monster truck would have rear-ended me' badly.

Frustration is technically defined as "blocked goaldirected activity."

When we can't get or have what we want, the blocked energy is often labeled as anger. You cannot defeat a mood with reasoning or by trying to interpose another mood. Ultimately, you need to get busy. think how angry you are and why.

Picture your anger as an ugly troll, a monster, a devil. .

Picture your nagging as a cancerous disease. Otherwise known as negative verbal control, nagging is destructive of good relationships.

2. Picture a red octagonal stop sign. Say: Stop! Enough! Cast out the devil!

3. Escape. Leave the SCt:ne.

Physically scram. Take a phy!:ical or mental timeout. Have a time:out place to go like your room or the bathroom or outside. Stay there for at least 60 seconds.

If your cannot vacate the sct:ne, try some mental timeouts. Laugh.

Take a deep breath. Say a prayer.

4. Do something! Act. Get bllsy, either in an opposite direction or as a distraction. Here are a few suggestions.

- Interpose a positive action in place of your negative feeling. Fuke yourself out. Instead of nagging, give a compliment or a hug.

- Picture yourself smiling in spite of it all. Then put a big smile on your face.

- Walk once around the 01ltside of your house. Do 10 pushups.

Pound a pillow.

STEWARDSHIP....

A WAY OF LIFE

Church teaching on linlbo Q. After the sudden death of a baby in our parish, some of us were discussing limbo.

One woman, a life-long Catholic, said she was taught that babies who died before baptism were not saved. They went to a place called limbo where they would be happy, but not with God in heaven.

I am a convert, but cannot believe this is Catholic dOdrine. Is she right? (Texas) A. In some ways she is. But you are right in your instinct that this is not what the Catholic Church teaches.

The name of and ideas about limbo have a strange history. It starts generally around the time of St. Augustine (died, 430), when the salvation of infants who died without baptism began to be seriously questioned by leading Christian writers.

Much later the Catechism of the Council of Tr~nt (the "Roman Catechism" of 1566) asserted that "without baptism this [sancitifying] grace and this [eternal] life are impossible" for children.

However, the existence of a place or condition called limbo, where unbaptized infa nts would spend eternity in a state of "natural" ha·ppiness. but not in heaven, has never directly been addressed in a document of the universal church.

Strangely. howc:ver. it became for many centuries a coinnionCatholic belief. Just 110 years ago, the Baltimore Catechism (No.3, published by authority of the American bishops in 1885) taught that infants who die without baptism "cannot enter heaven; but it is the common belief they will go to some place similar to limbo. where they will be free from suffering. though deprived of the happiness of heaven" (Question 632).

I guess I'm middle-aged G. Gaynor McTigue's collection of 350 middle-aged indicators ("You Know You're Middle-Aged When ...") has been a big seller for several months now, and it was the center of our post-liturgy carbo'n'-caffeine conversation last Sunday.

Just how do you know when you've reached middle-aged Catholicness?

For beginners. we agreed, you know it when you refuse to go to face-to-face confession because your priest looks so young you feel like you're talking to one of your children's college friends.

You know you are a middleaged Catholic when charities begin sending you letters that want you to include them in your will. Or when: -You start reading those "gift annuity" advertisements in Catholic periodicals.

- You come early to Mass so no one wm have a chance to sit in your place.

Kathryn Blottman

JOHN J.

The Mass of Christian Burial was offered this morning at St. John the Evangelist Church, Attleboro, by Father William P. Blottman for his mother, Kathryn M. Blottman, 95, who died May 15 in Wrentham. Bishop Sean O'Malley presided at the Mass and many priests of tht: diocese were concelebrants.

Mrs. Blottman was the widow of John B. Blottman, Sr., and the daughter of the late Peter and Louise (Mikenhause) Williams.

Born in Dayton, Ohio, where she was a legal secretary before her marriage, she had lived in Attleboro for the past 50 years, where she was a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters and of Alcazaba Circle of the Daughters of Isabella.

She is survived by two sons, Father Blottman, pastor of St. Peter the Apostle parish, Prov~nce­ town; and John B. Blottman, Jr., of North Andover; four daughters, Sister Rosemary Blottman, RC, of Dedham; Elizabeth A. McCormack of Ridgefield Park, NJ; Ruth K. Chippendale of Palo Alto, CA; and Joan Kenton of Attleboro; also by a sister, Sister Louise M. Williams, CPPS, of Oceanside, CA; 16 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. She was the sister of the late Lawrence, Walter and Ambrose Williams.

DIETZEN This catechism. as most older Catholics will know, was the primary source for teaching our faith for most of the 20th century, which explains your friend's remark.

Since then, however, our church has become far more hopeful and confident of God's desire and power to sa ve his people in ways beyond those he has revealed to us.

For example, when discussing children who die without baptism, the new Catechism of the Catholic Church doesn't mention limbo at all. but expresses full trust in the love and mercy of God. The great mercy of God who desires that all people be saved, it says. and the tenderness of Jesus who said, "Let the children come to me," (Mark 10: 14) "allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without baptism" (No. 1261).

Q. Would you explain the meaning of certain words that appear at the beginning ofsome ofthe psalms, words like "miktam" (16); "maskil" (32); "upon the gittith" (8)?

We've asked several priests and ministers, but have not received an answer, (Florida) A. Most of th\1 psalms, as the ones to which you refer, contain an introduction Or title.

These are generally of three types.

One refers to the history of the psalm, according to Hebrew tradition. Psalm 18, for example, is David's thanksgiving for being "rescued from the grasp of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul."

Psalm 51 is David's prayer of sorrow "after his sin with Bathsheba" (2 Sm. II).

A second group, including your examples, are musical instructions, instruments to be used and so on.

Sir John Marks Templeton is the founder of some of the world's largest and most successful investment funds, including Templeton' Growth Fund and Templeton World Fund.

Aware of the many billions of dollars spent on research in commerce and industry - and the comparatively small amount spent on research in religion - Templeton decided in 1972 to create a prize,to honor those who advanced the world's understanding of God. In 1973, the first Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion was awarded to M other Theresa.

Stonehill alumnus Michael'N ovak, . '56, a religious philosopher whose writings on free society have influenced political and' social movements around the world, won the

1994 Templeton Prize, valued at about $1 million.

Beyond funding the Prize, Templeton does not participate in choosing winners, 'leaving that to an international panel of jlJdges.

Mary Cunningham Agee is the founder and volunteer executive' director of The Nurturing Network, a nationwide charitable organization that has provided for over a decade a positive alternative to abortion for thousands of mothers facing the 'crisis of an unplanned pregnancy. The Network has thousands of volunteer members who provide counseling, medical services, nurturing homes, employment, expedited college transfers and financial assistance for clients.

Her business career has included top management positions in two of Fortune s 500 largest companies. As vice president of strategic planning for the Bendix Corporation and Joseph E. Seagram and Sons, Mrs. Agee significantly impacted the growth strategies of· both companies. She was promoted to the chairman's advisory council at Bendix and to executive vice president of planning at Seagram.

She has also held management positions with the Chase Maghattan Bank and Salomon Brothers.

Leonard Florence is chairman, chief executive officer and president of Syratech Corporation, a leading manufacturer of sterling silver flatware and resin casual furniture and accessories.

Over the past 30 years Florence has bought or developed more than 30 ~omp;lQie~., .. , ,..'......

Florence serves'on the 'bo'ard'of' trustees of the Cardinal Cushing School and Training Center for ExceptiQnal Children of All Faiths as well as the Chelsea Soldiers Home. He holds honorary degrees

from King's College, Wilkes-Barre, PA; Merrimack College and Tufts University. In 1993, the Charlotte and Leonard Florence dental clinic and auditorium at Tufts Dental School and Charlotte and Leonard Florence courtyard in the nursery school at Temple Mishkan Tefila were dedicated.

Cathy E. Minehan was named president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston in July 1994: She is a voting member of the F,~deral Open Market Committee, the monetary policymaking body of the U.S. central bank. She also directs the bank's supervision and regulation, payments system and research activities.

Mrs. Minehan began her career with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in 1968. Her 23 years with the New York Fed included work in supervision, regulation and public infor!T!ation, as w,ell as a tour of duty as a senior aide to several governors at the Board of Governors in Washington, D,C. Her career at the New York Fed culminated in her being named senior vice president for high value payments, securities and accounting operations in 1987. In 1991, she was named first vice president and chief operating officer at the Boston Fed, becoming the first woman in the history of the Federal Reserve System to be named first vice president.

She is also the first woman to be name.d president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. She is chair ,of a sp~.ciaJ 9vers.ight com~ mittee to ovei's'ee Federal Rese:rve' System's activities relative to interstate banking. She is also chair of the Conference of Presidents' Management System, Budget and PI.anning Committee.

ROME (CNS) - Five mission- worth of m~dical supplies to a ary sisters were among more than . Catholic' )lOspital in Kik,wit and two dozen people killed in Zaire by a mysterious disease that authorities have attributed to the deadly Ebola virus.

Ten other sisters were being kept in isolation in Zaire after coming in contact with the disease, but were reportedly not infected.

Four of the deceased religious, Italian Sisters Floralba Rondi, Clara Angela Ghilardi, Dinarosa Belleri and Danielangela Sorti, were medical workers in Kikwit.

Members of the Sisters of the Little Poor, a religious order based in Bergamo in northern Italy, they had worked in Zaire for up to 40 years.

Kikwit, a city of about 600,000 people, was quarantined and surrounded by Zairian troops in early May. The virus also killed a young Zairian nun, Siste'r Eugenie Kabina, a nursing student in Kikwit.

Ebola, a highly contagious disease spread through bodily fluids, causes death in about 90 percent of those it infects, causing hemorrhaging, fever and vomiting. There is no known cure and it is considered one of the deadliest viruses SISTER Clara Angela Ghiever identified. In 1976, an outbreak killed 276 people in a Zai- lardi, pictured with a Zairian rian village. child, is one of the five misIn Baltimore, Catholic Relief Services, the U.S. bishops' over- sionaries who' died after conseas relief and development agency, tracting the Ebola virus, said it oversaw delivery of $3,000 (CNS/ Reu!ers photo)

Sudan crucifixions ROME (CNS) - Two leaders of a Sudanese clan that convertt:d to Catholicism in the 1970s were crucified for refusing to renount:e their faith and return to Islam, said the head of a Sudanese diocese. Msgr. Cesare Mazzolari, apostolic administrator of the diocese of Rumbek, said the mid-August crucifixions were reported in a letter from the vicar general of the archdiocese of Khartoum. "Death is implied [in the letter), but not stated," Msgr. Mazzolari told Catholic News Service. He said the men who were crucified, Abdalla Yusif, 65, and Mahanna Muhammad, 43, were arrested in mid-July and charged with apostasy for renounc-ing the Muslim faith.

Deacons' wives have mixed views on vocation BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (CNS) - As John and Sylvia Winkelman went through the deacon formation process in the St. PaulMinneapolis archdiocese, they looked forward to his ordination as a deacon.

But Sylvia said she felt mixed emotions when John was introduced at St. Margaret Mary parish in Golden Valley, where he would serve, while she sat and watched.

"It was like preparing for skijumping," she said. "Wf: got our skis on. He flew. And' fell off the chute. It was painfuL" Mrs. Winkelman was one offive women who talked about the rewards and frustrations of permanent deacons' wives at the recent annual convention ofthf; National Association of Permanent Diaconate Directors.

The convention, held in Bloomington, drew about 200 diocesan diaconate directors, permanent deacons and their wives from across North America. The nearly 12,000 permanent deacons in the United States and Canada form nearly three-fifths of tine total in the church around the world.

The session on deacons' wives was titled, "Women in the Diaconate Community: The Challenge of Inclusivity."

The panelists used a 1993 archdiocesan survey of deacons' wives as a basis for discussion. It found that priests give little affirmation and support for women's roles and need to be educated about how deacon wives can serve parish communities, said Phyllis Wille'rscheidt, . director of the archdiocesan Commission of Women and panel moderator.

"We need to do that education ourselves, and we need to be bold, maybe even a little bit assertive," said Margaret Barrett.

She said it's important for dea:. con wives to inform people about the training they rf:ceive along with their husbands.

Deacon formation programs require formation of wives on grounds that they must be involved in the husband's ministry.

Char Murphy sai.d she is an integral part of her husband Jim's ministry but that thf: support she got from the pastor was at first lukewarm and hesitant as she coordinated grief support and social concerns groups and taught religious education c1aSSI~S. She said she felt more accepted after she and her husband began to have regular monthly meetings with the pastor. That led to a teamwork relationship and a clearer understanding of one another's roles, and now the pastor is a big supporter of her work, she said. 'n 1993 the archdiocese started a support group for wives of deacons who found th(:mselves struggling with problems of acceptance or trust in the parishes where their husbands were ministering.

Mrs. Winkelman said she joined the group when she "fell off the chute" after her husband's ordination.

"There is need for spiritual and intellectual support," she said.

Another survey finding was that two-thirds of respondents felt women should be admitted into the permanent diaconate. '" don't think we can have real inclusivity until women are ordained," said Elizabeth Langlois.

"I don't think we should calf our-

She said it is not easy to deal with the male eXClusivity of the diaconate, and she often turns to prayer to affirm her role of assisting her husband.

Diocesan women honor Mary at annual' conventioll

By Marcie Hickey The Diocesan Council of Catholic women held a Mother's Day weekend tribute to the Blessed Mother at their 42nd annual con-' vention May 13 at St. John of God Church, "Somerset. The convention program, themed "Do Whatever He Tells You," included a keynote speech on Mary as a model for prayer: tableaux depicting Marian apparitions; presentation of Our Lady of Good Counsel Awards to outstanding DCCW members; and a Mass at which new officers were installed.

Registrar Colette Waring reported 292 members and guests were in attendance, among them honored guest Bishop Sean O'Malley, the priest-moderators of the five DCCW districts, and keynoter Father.George G. Greenway, moderator of the DCCW of the Springfield diocese, who spoke on the theme, "Mary Did It, So Can You." A former Episcopal priest who was ordained to the Catholic priesthood in 1987, Father Greenway proposed Mary as a model for contemplative prayer and attributed to her intercession the con'versions of many Episcopal priests to Catholicism in the United States and in England.

"Lovefor Mary is bringing about things that we never dreamed of," Father Greenway said, noting that in England 256 former Episcopal priests are in the proces-S of becoming Catholic and in the United States "there are 90 priests like myself and more coming every day," including Fort Worth, Texas, Episcopal Bishop Clarence Pope.

Father Greenway has already anticipated the headline: "Pope becomes Catholic!"

"It has been said that when Christians come back to Mary, England will once again be Catholic," Father Greenway said. "It's happening!"

He emphasized that we should not just pray to Mary but with her and like her. In the Gospels, he explained, Mary is found, after the Resurrection and Ascension, with the disciples, "praying and waiting for the coming of the Holy Spirit.

That was her role then and now;" Father Greenway outlined three aspects of contemplative prayer modeled on Mary: listening in silence, waiting in patience, trusting in darkness.

Silence is necessary in order to become attuned to God as was Mary who, a woman of few words in the Gospel, was the embodiment of"the listening heart through whom God's word can enter the world; the perfect ear able to reproduce the music of God," said Father Greenway.

Cultivation of "inner silence" is difficult for most people - "we would rather be saying or doing" - but it is possible with the attitude of Mary: " 'behold the handmaid of the Lord' - a humble, passive submission" and "self-abandonment" to the will of God, Father Greenway continued.

Using pregnancy as a metaphor, he said contemplative prayer is a process of "letting a wonderful event develop within you."

The widowed father of three and grandfather of ive, Father Greenway assured his audience that, like any expectant parent, he has had plenty of experience "waiting in patience."

Our Lady's pregnancy was no different than any other woman's," he said. She no doubt "sometimes

Mahoney, immediate past diocesan moderator and continuing as Fa1l River District I moderator'. (Lavoie photo) found the waiting tiresome, wondered ifanything was actually happening, if everything would be all right. " Mary was also "in the dark" about the mystery that was unfolding and "understood even less the way of the cross" that was to come, said Father Greenway. "She had to have the faith of Abraham" who "set out, not knowing where he was to go" until darkness fell upon him (Gn. 15: 12) and in it he was shown'his descendants and the fulfillment of God's plan.

We tocf'-haveperiods of da'rkness or dryness in prayer, in which nothing seems to be happening, said Father Greenway, but as St. John of the Cross taught, "this is a perfectly natural part of prayer life."

"Nothing has gone wrong. God only asks us to be faithful," said

the keynoter. "The essential quality of prayer is waiting for God." Waiting, he continued, demands patience, "and patience is a form of suffering. But then there are those moments when something' stirs within us, signs of a new life growing and developing through God's grace."

Like Mary, we "wait for Christ to be formed in us until his face can be shown to the world. Our waiting is expectant, because the Lord comes!"

His Mother's Side In his homily at the convention Mass, Bishop O'Malley called Mary "the mother that brings the family [of the church) together" from the moment when Jesus, dying upon the cross, commends her to the care of the beloved disciple John

with the words, "Behold thy mother."

At the same time, as Jesus tells his mother, "Behold thy son," "we see the first consecration of the church to her spiritual maternity and care," said the bishop.

He recalled a scene from the TV series" All in the Family" in which Archie Bunker has just made an anti-Semitic remark. His son-inlaw Meathead points out that "Jesus was a Jew" to which Archie retorts, "but only on his mother's side!"

"Today we are here to celebrate his mother's side," said Bishop O'Malley, noting that the convention fell on the 78th anniversary of the first Marian apparition at Fatima, May 13,1917. ' The bishop added that the con. vention theme, also his own episcopal motto, "Do whatever he tells you," is the last phrase of Mary recorded in the Gospels and is the overarching message of her various apparitions throughout history.

The Gospel story of the Visitation is "a paradigm for Mary's apparitions," he said. "She comes bringing Christ and the message of Christ to point us always in the direction of her son."

As we near the close of the bloodiest century in human history and the beginning of a new millennium, the world will have

"true and lasting peace" only if "we take Mary's message to heart and live a life of conversion, fidelity and prayer," said Bishop O'Malley. "Behold our mother, still urging us to 'do whatever he te1ls you.' " The concluding program of the convention, "Mary: Woman of Many Faces," was held ::n the darkened church and featu,:ed a series of tableaux with narration and music, depicting seven ~.pparitions' of Mary from the 1531 a,ppearance of Our Lady of Gua.dalupe in Mexico to the present-day Medjugorje apparitions, which began in 1981.

In scenes spotlighted in succession, the Blessed Mother and those who witnessed her appari tions were portrayed by St. John 0:: God parishioners and friends and relatives of DCCW members. Costumes were created by Colette Waring.

The program had a cast of 27 and information was drawn from 19 sources.

Other apparitions enacted were Our Lady of Pont main, France, 1871; Our Lady of Fatima, Aljustrel, Portugal, 1917; Our Lady of Banneaux, Belgium, 1933; and Our Lady of Akita, Yuzawadi, Japan, 1973.

With each apparition. the narrator concluded, Mary has demonstrated her desire for "love and peace for each human soul. We must answer her call by Ii ving and spreading her message."

This year's convention .included installation of a new slate of officers to two:year terms.

In a farewell message, dl:parting president Bella Nogueira of the Fall River District said tha,tjust as "Mary' has many faces, "you as members of the council have shown me many faces ...always the faces of Christian love and loyalt.y. I will, always remember your many kindnesses."

The new president, Kit!:y Lancisi of the Attleboro District, set as the theme of her presidency, "May we journey together toward wholeness and holiness."

"As we encounter people," she said, "there is a need for healing, reconciling, listening and communicating" as, expressed in a' John Michael Talbot song, "we are Christ's hands, feet, eyes, ears, mouth."

"I can only lead," saic: Mrs. Lancisi. "Together we canjourney."

Her fellow officers and the:ir districts are: Antonia Erwyn, Attleboro, recording secretary; Helena Luxton, Taunton District, treasurer; and the vice presidents: first Theresa Lewis, New Bedford; second, Lillian Plouffe, Taunton; third Betty Mazzucchelli, Cape and Islands; fourth, Colette Waring, Fall River; fifth, Elise ~;pell足 man, Attleboro.

Rev. Msgr. Daniel F. Hoye, Attleboro District moderator. succeeds Very Rev. Francis L. Mahoney, Fall River District, as diocesan moderator for the co unci I. Also given at the convention were five Our Lady of Good Coun, sel Awards, presented by Bis hop O'Malley. The annual awards recognize outstanding contribut ions by a member from each dist rict.

The recipients were Evelyn Hendricks, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel parish, New Bedford; Helen Ouellette, Blessed Sacrament parish, Fall River; Madeline Livingston, Holy Ghost, Attleboro; Rita F1t:ming, Our Lady of Victory, Centerville; and Paula King, St. Anthony, Taunton.
