Father Boule Father Boule, a Fall River native, was born April 7, 1910, the son of the late Honore and Anna Boule. He prepared for the priesthood at the Seminary of Philosophy and the Foreign Misaions of Quebec Seminary and was ordained at the Cathedral of St. James in Montreal on June 24, 1934. As a young priest he served at missions in Manchuria and Japan and was also treasurer at his community's seminar in PontViau, Quebec. In 1950 Father Boule returned to the Fall River diocese and served as associate pastor at Notre Dame parish, Fall River, until 1955, when he was trans-
Directory details diocesan growth By the numbers, the Fall River diocese is in a growth pattern. Figures released by the 1980 Official Catholic Directory for the United States show an increase of over 6,000 Catholics in the diocese in a total population of 530,000. In 1979 the directory reported 332,000 Catholics; in 1980 there are 338,322. Nationwide the directory reports nearly 50 million Catholics in 170 dioceses and archdioceses. Chicago is the largest archdiocese, with 2,406,728 Catholics, followed, by Los Angesles and Boston, each with over two million members. Reflecting the national trend towards an increase of lay
teachers in Catholic schools, 376 of the 617 diocesan teachers are lay persons. Nationally, 70.2 percent of teachers are drawn from the laity. The number of presidents in diocesan homes for the aged remains at 818. Nationally, infant baptisms intreased by nearly 15,000 but in the diocese the figure decreased, from 6,222 in 1979 to 5,591 for the current report. Marriages are up, from 2,289 to 2,333, while deaths decreased, from 3,469 to 3,430. And diocesan priests have increased from 225 to 229, religious priests from 196 to 206.

Father Carey Father Carey, who has been pastor of St. 'Dominic's parish; Swansea, since 1970, is also a native of Fall River, where he was born Feb. 2, 1909, the son of the late Andrew and Margaret Carey. . After graduating from BMC Durfee High School, Fall River, he attended St. Charles College, Catonsville, Md. and St. Bernard's Seminary, Rochester,
N.Y. Father Carey was ordained May 26, 1934 by the late Bishop James E. Cassidy and served as an associate pastor at St. Mary's parish, North Attleboro; Our Lady of the Assumption, Osterville, Corpus Christi, Sandwich; and St. Peter's 路Provincetown. He then went to Sa~red Heart, Taunton; St. James, New Bedford; and Our Lady of the Isle, Nantucket, where he was an associate for seven years, then becoming administrator of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, Seekonk. In 1960 he returned to Nantucket as pastor, where he served until assuming his preseent position. Father Carey's pastoral minis-
try has also included service as an Army chaplain during World War II. Msgr. Gendreau Msgr. Gendreau was born in Fall River Jan. 9, 1911, the son of the late' Napoleon and Marguerite Gendreau. He attended St. Anne's School, Fall River, and Montreal College, and St. Mary's Seminary. He was ordained June 15, 1935 by the late Bishop Cassidy. From 1935 to 1954 he taught in seminaries in Baltimore, Seattle, and Detroit as a Sulpician Father, also serving three years as an Army Chaplain in the European theatre. Tum to page thirteen
Catholic Charities Appeal reaches all-time high The Most Reverend Daniel A. Cronin, Bishop of Fall River, announced today that the 1980 Catholic Charities Appeal of the Diocese of Fall River has attained the unprecedented, record-shattering amount of $1,210, 087.65. In making the announcement, Bishop Cronin expressed his profound gratitude to all who contributed to the extraordinary success of the annual fund-raising venture. "Through the wonderful generosity of so many friends of Catholic Charities, we have the assurance of continuing to serve our people throughout the diocese," the iBshop stated.' The 1980 Appeal surpassed the 1979 total by more than $90,000.
Bishop Cronin noted with particular satisfaction the fact that 105 of the 113 parishes in the diocese attained "honor roll" status in the 1980 Appeal. This, he explained, is the largest number of parishes to exceed prior amounts ever recorded. For the first time in the 40year history of the diocesan fund-raising drive, contributions made directly to headquarters from parish units exceeded $1 million. The remainder of the total amount was derived from "special gifts" from benefactors in business and industry in southeastern Massachusetts. Never before in the history of the Appeal have four parishes contributed more than $30,000 each. However, in the record-
setting campaign just completed this unusual milestone was achieved. St. Francis Xavier parish in Hyannis led all diocesan units with contributions of $33,341.00. Closely following was Mount Carmel parish in New Bedford, with returns of $32,160.08. St. Pius X parish of South Yarmouth recorded gifts of $31, 844.87, and Holy Name parish of Fall River reported a total of $30,.184. Bishop Cronin expressed special gratitude to Msgr. Anthony M. Gomes, diocesan, director of the Appeal, and aCknowledged with profound thanks the army of nearly 20,000 volunteer workers who collaborated with this year's chairman, Mr. Joseph B. Tum to Page Six

The DrinanAHair It will ~e some time before the dust settles on the socalled Drinan affair. To be sure, the' decision to request Father Drinan to cease seeking political office, and his oWn decision to respond to this request in a spirit of trustful obedience were difficult and demanding. Unlike some others in the recent history of the church, Father Drinan views his priesthood as the true center of his personal life. Because of this commitment, he witnessed to, everyone that he is indeed a churchman before a congressman. There will be some to say that he did nothing more than what he vowed himself to as a young Jesuit. Often those holding such a view have accomplished little or nothing with their own talents or have never possessed such talents to begin with as they mumble through life. But Father Drinan is a man of great talent, ability and energy. He has used these attributes well in his drive for social justice, in his attempts to bring a sense of personal honesty to politics and in his efforts to help the least of his brothers and sisters regardless of race, religion or ethnic origin. Yet he is not removed from controversy and indeed conflict. For many people his term of office was indeed a sign of contradiction. It is more than understandable why people, especially members of his own church, found incomprehensible the fact of a priest defending a pro-abortion voting record. This behavior of Father Drinan occasioned concern, sorrow and even agitation for many both within and without the Catholic church. His personal attempts to justify his voting record only threw more coals on the smoldering .fires and drove a deeper rift between reality and reason. MOUNT ST. HELENS However, Father Drinan was not a single issue congressman. Given the very nature of his constituency, he 'Behold I come against thee, thou destroying mountain, saith the Lord, which could not be. Representing in many situations a modern corruptest the whole earth: and I will stretch out my hand upon thee and liberal suburban mentality, he was for the majority of his will roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt district's voters, of the right bent for their personal permountain.' Jer. 51 :25 suasions. In this regard, it was often felt that Father Drinan bent too far in his attempts to please those of a rather crass and materialistic frame of reference. Yet it must be clearly stated that it was not for these reasons that he was requested not to seek another term in office. In the request for his retirement from public life, it was clearly indicated that Catholic priests are not generally ROME (NC) - China must re- sents "a sign that society is not linked to any power," he added.

Mass attendance Dear Father Moore: I was confused about the article in The Anchor (May 1) in regard to the "Electronic Gospel" by Thomas McDonnell. Listening to some of those programs has brought many folks closer to God. Having a Catholic Mass on TV is wonderful for those who are unable to attend due to illness. Those who are able to go to Mass should realize that it's their obligation to go to church. But to say that the Mass does not have the same value as any other Mass, it is contradicting our Morning Offering in which we unite our intention to Masses being celebrated at that moment. We have the daily Mass from Boston which I enjoy and find it very enlightening, for with no distraction I can listen to the word of God. Many of my friends do the same. They too are upset about The Anchor article. As one said, "Sitting in my living room with my husband, who is an invalid, seeing the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and hearing the gospel has done wonders for both of us. Praise God!" I think that such opinions make other denominations look on us Catholics as being arrogant, which is a sin. I love our Catholic religion, but also enjoy listening to Billy Graham, Oral Roberts, etc. They too are praying to the same Lord, Jesus our Savior. J. B. Teixeira New Bedford (Mr. McDonnell was simply pointing out that watching a televised' Mass does not fulfill the Sunday or holy day obligation for the viewer. This obligation, of course, does not exist for those legitimately impeded from physical presence at the Eucharistic liturgy. In itself, a televised Mass has the same infinite value as any other. Editor)
Agrees Dear Editor: Regarding Mr. Acton's letter in our May 8 issue, his indignation is solidly placed. The impact of Matt. 18, 1-7; Mark 9, 36-37; Luke 9, 46-48 is lost upon many. Life is the most ponderable gift of God. A millstone hangs heavy. Gestating people, like all other people, are the supreme, sovereign political power of the United States Government, as was plainly and irrefutably demonstrated in the constitutional proceedings of 1787. This secular aspect ought to be pursued vigorously to its limit by all patriotic people. Charles B. Sullivan Assonet
Likes, dislikes Dear Editor: I enjoyed reading "The Family: a Parish Priority" by Father Kevin Harrington. Ah, what a wonderful blow it was against today's "me and my needs come first" society. I also enjoyed an article which appeared in a previous issue about St. Catherine of Siena and do very much encourage similar articles, dealing with the lives of saints, be printed in the future. The sisters did a grand job and the inspira. tional value of the article cannot be appreciated enough. I should also like to say Father Greeley's column doesn't irritate me half as much as Thomas McDonnell's column; and perhaps Mary McGrory's rhetoric should die out with Father Drinan's congressional career. Arlette M. Oliveira New Bedford (A 25-year-old mother of three)
Gold Bond Dear Editor: Some good person has subscribed me to the Anchor. I always look forward to receiving it. It keeps me in touch with the diocese of Fall River where I worked for so many years. Thank you. Say, I wonder if some of your readers would save Gold Bond Stamps and send them along to me? We're trying to refurbish our mission church in Elfrida. 'rhe ladies of the Altar Society said if we can't do it with money we can probably do it with Gold Bond Stamps.

layout, so different from other newspapers, and I offer you, the Editor, a big Thank You. God bless your work. I bristle sometimes when .I scan the Steering Points not to see any mention of Immaculate Conception, North Easton, although Stonehill, my cpildhoOQ playground, does have a mention at times.

HER COFFIN: THE GARBAGE CAN
Reassessment asked in Canada TORONTO (NC) - The Catholic bishops of Quebec took no position on the historic referendum in which the people of the predom~antly Frenchfspeaking province voted decisively to remain within Canada. The bishops, however, did encourage informational activities about the isuues involved. "Now is the time for reconciliation in families and communities, to heal the sores ~f disunity which are still bleeding, to offer a new vision that has often been lacking," editorialized the Catholic Register, naW>nal Catholic Canada's weekly. The editorial praised FrenchCanadian culture and asked the rest of Canada "to reassess legitimate French grievances which express themselves so explosively."

The Sister was moving among the slums of a City in India. Unbelievably, she heard sobbing coming from a trash barrel. Brushing aside the flies and the vermin, she looked. Beneath the filth and debris was an old lady crying from tearless eyes as her life slowly ebbed away. Tenderly the Sister lifted her, placed her on her shoulders and took her to the Hospice for the Dying. Before she died, the old lady told the Sister, "I'm not crying because I was in the garbage. I'm crying because my son put me there. He had to. There was not enough food for the family." ... Tragically, this scene will be replayed many more times. But you can help to lessen it. Will you?

The number of students under fulltime Catholic instruction, from grade school through college, is 12,7'69, up 680 from 1979. The total of students in religious education programs fell slightly, from 58,275 in 1979 to 58,004 this year. Nationally, the number of priests and permanent deacons has increased, to 58,261 priests and 4,093 permanent deacons. However, diocesan and religious order seminarians have decreased by 734 from last year's figures. Across the nation there is a total of 1,226 candidates for the priesthood, 15,680 fewer than reported 10 years ago in 1970.

First ecologist ASSISI, italy (NC) - Pope John Paul II has proclaimed St. Francis of Assisi patron saint of ecology. The new title for the natureloving 13th-century Italian saint who founded the Franciscan order was made public in a papal bulletin delivered to the Franciscans by Cardinal Silvio Oddi' prefect of the Vatican's Congregation for Religious. It said that St. Francis "considered nature a wonderful gift of God to humanity, to the point that, inspired by a practically divine spirit, he said that most beautiful 'Canticle of the Sun' through which he gave praise, glory, honor and every blessing to the most high, the almighty good Lord." The canticle begins, "Praise to thee, my Lord, for all thy creatures, above all Brother Sun who brings us the day and lends us his light."

MEMORIAL PRE-PLANNING SUPPLEMENT 1980
,
Pre-need planning has biblical roots "We plan for everything else in our lives; we should also plan for our death." That advice is offered by a priest in a good position to know - Father Ernest E.路 Blais, director of Sacred Heart Cemeteries, New Bedford, and Notre Dame Cemetery and Mausoleum, Fall River. Father Blais pointed out that "pre-need planning" is exemplified by Joseph of Arimathea, whose tomb, prepared for his own burial, was pressed into service to receive the body of Christ. "You and I know that God has created us and has told us that he will call us to himself one day. What day? What year? It is his secret," said the priest. "Some of us may have seen par e n t s, children,
friends, a beloved spouse pass away into the next life, whether Q,uickly by accident or sudden illness or slowly by lingering disease," he continued. "What is certain is that we do not know when death will come-but it brings sadness and often the confusion . of hurried arrangements for undertakers, church services, flo w e r s, notification of friends and family, even the purchase of appropriate clothes." "Often in such a situation," said Father Blais, "funeral and cemetery decisions are made in haste and afterwards regretted." His suggestion to persons who might be responsible for such decisions or who are concerned about their own funeral arrangements is

"Questions can then be answered in a relaxed atmosphere," said the priest. He said that the scope of funeral home services, location of gravesites, regulations affecting monuments and overall funeral and cemetery costs are among prime concerns of most inquirers; and he added that pre-need arrangements may often be more economical than those made at the time of death.
cial sharing in the love and concern of the church for its members at all stages of their journey towards eternity. He also recalled that Catholic cemeteries are consecrated ground and that it is customary for priest-directors to offer frequent Masses for the repose of the souls of those buried therein. "The day of death is a day of unsurpassed happiness for our loved ones;" stressed Father Blais. "Their Good Friday is behind them; they are enjoying Easter. Some may consider pre-need planning a morbid undertaking, but my view is that anything that can be done to give us or our survivors a measure

- Permanent Deacons By Father John F. Moore Diocesan Director Permanent Diaconate
In this diocese, from the very first drafting of the permanent diaconate training program, it was loudly and clearly stated that restoration of the order of deacon also involved restoration of the unique and vital relationship that must exist between 'bishop and deacon. Let it be honestly proclaimed that the chief support of this restoration of the diaconate in the church in this diocese is to be found in the person of the bishop. This is not a mere gilding of the proverbial lily but a trusting and supportive reality. From the outset a sincere effort was made not only to define clearly the order of deacon as a unique entity in the hierarchy of orders but also to restore the historic relationship that existed between bishop and deacon from the earliest days of the church. From its first institution, the diaconate has been closely connected with the bishop, the presider of the local church. In text after text of the New Testament, including references in II Corinthians, I Timothy, I Peter, Romans and Colossians, the deacon is seen not only as a servant to the entire community
I
but also as bound in a special manner to the community's leader, the bishop. In what is termed the patristic age, when the Word was handed on .in the writings of church leaders, this unique relationship between bishop and deacon surfaces in great detail. During five centuries of church life, various writings remind us time and time again that diaconal service was offered to the church fundamentally through the bishop and through him also to the presbyters or priests. In a recent paper on this subject, Father John Farrell, S.T.D., professor of patristic studies at St. John's Seminary, Brighton, offered this reflection found in the Apostolic Tradition of Hippolytus who has he stated, "observes and attests the clarity of the distinction within ecclesial office, between sacramental ministry fulfilled by bishops and presbyteers and diaconal ministry discharged by deacons. Only the bishops lay hands on a deacon. He is ordained, not for the priesthood but for the service of the bishop, to carry out his orders," These considerations are not put forward to give the idea that deacons are the lackeys of the bishop, but rather to indicate that they have a relationship to him distinct from that of the priest.
Atheist's son regrets acts WASHINGTON (NC) -Madalyn Murray O'Hair's son, William Murray, 33, whose initial complaint about being forced to pray in public school led to the landmark Supreme Court decision banning the practice, now says he is sorry for what he did and wants to undo the damage. Murray spoke briefly at a news conference at the Capitol called to publicize efforts in Congress to remove the jurisdiction of the Federal courts from school prayer cases. "I admit being beguiled and misled," said Murray about his famed atheist mother and his decision as a Baltimore teenager to stay home rather than participate in public school prayers. "Now that I've seen the damage, I can only urge others to help me correct that damage," added Murray, now 33, who first publicized his newfound regret a couple of weeks earlier in a letter to a Baltimore newspaper. Murray said his conversion was the result of several months of introspection about the concept of God and the realization that his rejection of God had turned his life into chaos. Murray's years after the Supreme Court decision were marked by a teen-age marriage that ended in divorce, troubles in the Army, failure to latch on to a steady job, and finally a decision in 1975 to rejoin his mother at her atheist center in Austin, Texas. He said that what followed was two years of "pure hell."
"I'd forgotten what close association with a group that was that revengeful and hate-filled was like," he said. Always a social drinker, he said he was up to a quart a day by the time he left Austin. The alcoholism continued until an emotional crisis last summer in Houston, where he locked himself in his bathroom "for several days," then fired a rifle through the door at police officers called by his wife to talk him out. The shot missed, but Murray was arrested for attempted murder of a police officer and was sentenced to five years probation.

Jesus shared our wealiness By Father John J. Castelot
...
Jesus speaks to his three disciples as he is about to begin what is known as the Agony in the Garden: "My heart is nearly broken with sorrow. Remain here and stay awake with me" (Matthew 26:38). Sharing our humanity, Jesus was about to experience in an especially keen way some of its most painful emotions: Loneli.ness, heartbreak, revulsion at the thought of impending suffering and death, struggle to carry out what clearly seemed God's will for him. From the beginning, Christian tradition has held that the humanity of Jesus should be accepted with all its implications. Still, considering situations like the Agony in the Garden, there is a temptation to qualify: "Oh yes, but he was God." Of course, that is true. But the humanity and divinity of Jesus are not to be confused. When we talk about the historical Jesus of Nazareth, we are talking about an authentic human being. The sublime Letter to the Hebrews minces no words: "Since he was himself tested through what he suffered, he is able to
help those who are tempted" (2:18). "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weakness, but one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet never sinned" (4:15). Tempted throughout his life (Luke 22:28), he was about to undergo the supreme test. His very posture suggests the intensity of his emotions: "He advanced a little and fell prostrate in prayer" (Matthew 26:39). When it is recalled that standing was the usual posture for prayer - not even kneeling the full impact is grasped of his falling to his face on the ground to make this prayer. His words were agonized, yet trustful. Jesus so often urged people to turn toward God as a loving, trustworthy Father. Now, even in this blackest hour, he spoke with the childlike words: "My Father," and acknowledged that his request might be impossible to grant: "If it is possible, let this cup pass me by. Still, let it be as you would have it, not as I" (Matthew 26:39). His trust in the Father's wisdom and love remains unbroken, even if he cannot understand fully, even if he is prostrate with sorrow and fear. When, on the
cross, he experiences the still more crushing sense of abandonment (Matthew 27:46), even then, as Luke tells us, his final word is one Qf quiet trust: "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit" (Luke 23:46). When Jesus returned to his sleeping disciples, he warned them: "Be on guard, and pray that you may not undergo the test" (Matthew 26:41). The test is one we all face, sometimes often: to walk confidently in the dark of sorrow or pain or bewilderment, and to go on trusting in a loving, faithful Father. This test can take many forms: serious illness or protracted pain, the death of a loved one, the need to institutionalize a loved child. In this "Garden of Olives" the support of family, friends, fellow parishioners is needed. It is sad when, like the disciples, they leave us alone. But the darkness is never complete and we are never really all alone. After reassuring us that Jesus sympathizes with our weakness because he has shared it, the author of Hebrews says: "So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and favor and to find help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:16).
A time of sorrow By Angela M. Schreiber
-
Mary Scanlon was so happy when the nurse put her beautiful newborn son in her arms., The pain of an exceedingly difficult labor seemed far away. In a few days, the little famone admired the beautiful infant but little Bruce spent almost all his time sleeping. He hardly ever cried and seemed to have no interest in kicking. At first, Mary attributed his inactivity to exhaustion from a difficult birth. But he became more and more lethargic. When he was two weeks old, she made an emergency appointment with a pediatrician, who advised having Bruce admitted to the hospital for a more thorough examination. There it was discovered tliat he had suffered brain damage during birth from loss of oxygen. 'The extent of the damage co~td not be determined. Specialists suggested an institution .(fr the child. But Mary
and her husband Derrick were completely closed to the idea. They concentrated on providing stimulation for Bruce. Almost everything they read stated that a child develops best in a loving home. Bruce seemed to be coming along better until he was three months old. Then he had his first seizure. They became more and more frequent until little Bruce sometimes had two or three in one day. During one seizure, he was close to death. Mary was exhausted and Derrick almost never got an entire night's sleep. 1f1e doctor began to urge Mary and Derrick to place Bruce iif a nearby institution. For the first time, they considered this possibility. The force of a seizure was unpredictable and there was no way to provide the hospital environment and equipment at home. Mary and Derrick visited the institution, talked to the 'nur~es
and attendants at length, and observed. The rooms were gaily decorated, special classes were conducted for children who could profit from them, physical therapy was given to all and a doctor could be on hand at a moment's notice. Reluctantly, they placed Bruce in the institution. Even though it was ·only a half-hour drive from home, they felt lost and lonely. Still, each time they visited Bruce, they felt they had made the· right decision. Mary treasured the moments she held her son in her arms. He cuddled up to her and she knew that he felt her love. Bruce lived for three years. During his life, his parents often felt lonely, as though they had been forgotten by others in their community. But there were those who stood by them, who really cared.

Choosing an institution By Roger I.. Sandon
The trend towards moving the mentally handicapped out of institutions seems noble and just, on the surface. . It means a movement away from "warehousing" - out of sight, out of mind. It means making an effort to tap the talents of all members of society, helping those who cannot help themselves find their niche in life. For one family out West, however, the proverbial pendulum has swung a bit too far. Two children in the family are severely retarded, requiring constant attention for fulfillment of their most basic needs. The parents bore the burden well. But when they realized their other children were suffering because of it, they faced a difficult choice: an institution. The retarded· children entered a protected environment, away from situations in which their failure was inevitable. Away from those who, not knowing how to relate, avoided them. Most of all, away from the painfull rejection by those too insensitive to understand. Family Hfe regained normalcy. With faith, the family members were able to avoid guilt feelings. They knew their institutionalized children were receiving the care they could no longer provide. . 'But when their state waged a campaign to remove the mentally handicapped from institutions, the problems began again. Social workers insisted the parents remove their children, now grown, from the institution and take them home. "They couldn't or wouldn't understand that the institution was their home - the place where their needs could be fulfilled. We weren't ready to bring them back to the rejection," the mother said. The children remain in the institution. Their parents had to fight to keep them there; and
in their struggle the support they received from their parish was nonexistent. Personal faith sustained them but the failure of their parish community to lend its aid was shattering. This family is the first to acknowledge the merits of a movement away from institutions. Yet it fears that in such a move, the needs of individuals can he forgotten.
For children II By J{lDaaD Manternach The Passover meal was over. Jesus and his friends walked out of Jerusalem to the Mount of Olives. Jesus' spirits were heavy. He knew that his enemies were closing in on him. He was afraid and troubled. As they approached an olive garden called Gethsemani, Jesus told his friends: "Stay here, while I go over there and pray." Wondering what was wrong, they sat under the olive trees. Jesus asked Peter, James, and John to go farther with him. He wanted the presence and support of his friends. "My heart is nearly broken with sorrow," he confided . to them" "Stay awake with me." The three sat against an old olive tree. Jesus walked a few yards farther, fell to the ground and groaned. "My Father," he pleaded, "if it is still possible, don't let it happen. Still, I want to do whatever you want." He lay on the cold ground for a long time. His spirit felt as black as the night. He trembled with fear at the thought of what might happeD to him. Then he arose and stumbled back to his three closest friends. They were asleep. "Peter," Jesus said, "couldn't you stay awake with me even for an hour? Stay awake and pray that you won't have to Turn to Page Thirteen
Retirement Continued from page one In 1954 Msgr. Gendreau returned to the Fall River diocese, where he served as associate pastor of St. Mary's Cathedral; administrator of St. Peter's parish, Dighton; and pastor of Blessed Sacrament Church, Fall River; St. Jacques, Taunton; and his present assignment, Notre Dame, Fall River. Additionally, the Notre Dame pastor has been episcopal vicar for the Fall River and New Bedford areas; vicar for religious; a pro-synodal judge; secretary of the board for examiners of the clergy; and a member of the Divine Worship Commission. In 1964 he was named a domestic prelate with the title of monsignor. Father McMahon Father McMahon, pastor of St. Joan of Arc parish, Orleans, was born in Taunton Sept. 20 1911. He is the son of the late James J. and Rose Anna McMahon. Following courses at Providence College and St. Michael's College, he completed his studies for the priesthood at St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore. He was ordained by the late Bishop Cassidy May 18, 1940 and then served for 25 years as associate pastor at St. Kilian's parish, New 'Bedford, for 17 of those years also directing Cathedral Camp, East Freetown. Father McMahon took over the camp after World War II, when the site was returned to the diocese after it had been used by' the Army. Not only did he direct operation of the camp, then an overnight facility, but he developed a concurrent retreat house program, using the camp buildings during the .. spring and fall. Father McMahon served as moderator of the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women and president of the National Catholic Camping Association. He was also assistant in charge of special affairs for the youth
department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, now the U.S. Catholic Conference. In 1965 he was named administrator and subsequently pastor of St. Joan of Arc. Father Unsworth Father Unsworth, pastor of St. Mary's parish, New Bedford, was born in Manchester, England, on April 18, 1905, and came to the United States in youth. He attended the former St. Mary's High School, Taunton, Boston College and St. Bernard's Seminary. He was ordained in 1932 by Bishop Cassidy and served as associate pastor at Our Lady of the Isle, Nantucket; St. Patrick's, Wareham; SS. Peter and Paul, Fall River; St. Kilian's, New Bedford; and St. Mary's Cathedral. In 1956 he was named administrator of St. Peter's parish, Dighton and in 1956 pastor of St. Joseph's, Woods Hole. He was named to his present pastorate in 1960. While serving at St. Mary's Father Unsworth was a member of the New Bedford Urban Renewal Board. He claims relationship to St. John Southworth, a 17th century English martyr canonized in 1970. He noted that a longtime family tradition connects the Unsworths with the saint, who was a native of Lancashire imprisoned and condemned to death for his priestly activities several times before his actual execution in 1654, when he was hung, drawn and quartered at the infamous Tyb4m gallows of England.

For children Continued from page twelve suffer with me. The spirit may be willing but nature is weak." With that Jesus returned sadly to his place of prayer. He groaned again in agony. "My Father, if this cannot pass me . by, your will be done." He said the same prayer over and over, his body trembling w,ith fear and cold sweat rolling down his tense face. Then he went back a second time to his friends. Again they were asleep. Jesus felt very much alone. He did not wake them up, but went back to pray again, the same prayer, asking God to let him escape the terrible sufferings he feared. But he placed his life in his Father's hands. Jesus felt more at peace now, but he was still anxious and depressed. He could feel danger in the darkness of the olive garden. His friends slept sound-, ly. Only his Father would be with him.
He could now hear frightening sounds - footsteps in the dark, muffled voices, the clink of chains and swords. His heart sank. He walked to his sleeping disciples. "Get up!" he said to them. "My betrayer is here." Al that moment a mob of armed men, led by Judas, rushed into the garden.
