Charities Appeal into final' stretch FALL RIVER - The Jubilee Year Catholic Charities Appeal "is rounding the far turn and heading into the homestretch," says Msgr. Thomas J. Harrington, director of the Appeal. "This is crunch time for our effort," he said earlier this week as incoming reports were still being tallied. . Msgr. Harrington and Michael 1. Donly, diocesan director of development, reported that by this time all parishes throughout the diocese have made their initial reports. Last week the interim report was that the totals were above the $2 million mark. "Many parishes are currently conducting second mailings to ensure that all parishioners are invited to participate in the Appeal," Donly reported. On the northern boundary of the Fall River diocese, Father John M.' Sullivan is the admin-

istrator at St. Joseph Parish in Attleboro. A former hospital chaplain, Father Sullivan talked about his own experience in encouraging members of the parochial community of faith to respond generously to the Appeal. "I share with them my experiences," Father Sullivan noted. "In the hospital ministry, which is entirely funded by the Catholic Charities Appeal, I had so many opportunities to touch the unchurched Catholics, patients and their families." At his Attleboro parish, Father Sullivan is also able to remind his flock that the Catholic Social Service Office is located in a facility on parish grounds. "I point out the good work that goes on right here in our midst," said Father Sullivan. He reported that this 'year he has challenged his parishioners to achieve a 10 percent increase in Turn to page six - CCA

1\ second· chance· By the skin of their teeth, the, people or Northern Ireland have been given a second, chance to heal the' wounds of division. Once more hope dawns for a land that has.been tom asunder by the hates of the past. By a slim vote, the divided Union Party · voted to restore a power .sharing goveniment .with Sinn Fein. The latter recently declared its intent to let inspectors check its weapon supp)ies. Taken back by this, positive step ofSinn Fein,~ ·the Unionists recognized they had their· backs against the wall, a rather unique positiori for that lot. . The world applauded the announceJT\ent of the Sinn Fein leader, Jerry Adams. From Dublin to London and Washington; a voice of support was offered for this positive step' in the peace process. " Always suspicious of 'the outside world, the 9nionist Party really did not want the Good Friday agreement to be effective. Mandating power sharing equity'between Catholic Nationalists (IRA), and Protestant Unionists (Orangem'en), this resolve had little chance of success purely from a political viewpoint. .' The real mover in the UniQnist decision was economics. To date, Northem Ireland has 'been left behind in,the Europeaneconomic'renewal. The Celtic tiger in Dublin has changed the face and' pace of the Irish Republic. Little of this success has trickled up to 'the North. What country, what business and what foundation wants to invest in a wartom land. In a global economy, it is . easy to be left behind if a country simply turns its back on this process. The Unionist Party did just that to protect its own inequities and injustices; it did not want to face issues of civil rights and judicial equity. Because of, its obstinacy, Northem Ireland was slipping into a third world mode. . · The real voice behind the Unionist turnabout is not its members, but the business community. Many Protestants yet have misgivings aboilt the IRA and' Sinn Fein. Yet, they 'want to maintain their union with England and benefit fro in, the prosperity of the European Economic Union, of which Dublin is a voting member.. Unless a vote of intent was positive,.the economic powers in Belfast knew they were doomed. . ' . J For such a small Iittte acre, the Northern':Ireland experience has affected much of the Western World. Millions of immigrants from the six counties have spilled over into so many places, and in tum have affected the thinking of their new homelands. Their sentimentality for the homeland often has been maudlin 'and even divisive'. Yet, there always has been a hope of peace among those forced to flee .land and home. Again, this spark has been ignited by the.Unionist vote to restore the Sinn Fein partnership agree-

Evolution of a dad I recently read a funny piece titled "Evolution of a Mom" on the Internet. The piece made some insightful observations about how a mother's parenting changes as the body count in the house incr~ases, such as: "First baby: At the first sign of distress - a whimper, a frown you pick up the baby.

The offbeat world of Uncle Dan By Dan Morris

"Second baby: You pick up the baby when her wails threaten to wake your firstborn. "Third baby: You teach the oldest how to re-wind the mechanical swing." It dawned' on me that fathers go through a similar "maturation" process, to wit: Firstborn: You keep the baby in a crib next to your bed for several weeks, then later install a microphone system in her room so that sensitive spiders sound like they are stomping around in large boots and the baby's, breathing resembles heavy surf. This is broadcast through pop-machine-size speakers mounted on your bedroom wall.

Portrait by Orthodox artist shows pope's strength and suffering By CINOVWOODEN CAlliOUC NEWS SERVICE

VATICAN CITY - When Natalia Tsarkova, a petite and sunny Russian pait:lter, was asked to paint a portrait 'of Pope John Paul II, she decided on a big and somewhat stormy look. "I tried to express all of his spiritual strength and his suffering for the ills of humanity," Tsarkova told Catholic News Service. The oil painting, 5-feet-lOinches tall, shows an 80-year-old, slightly stooped pope surrounded by dark clouds. While many artists and postermakers continue to use images of the pope from when he was in his . late 60s or early 70s, "I didn't think it was right to paint as if these years have not passed. At the same time, he has a strength which I tried to show. . "The life of the pope has not been tranquil," she said. Still, she said, the sky above St. Peter's Basilica is blue to show "the power of Christianity" and the papal vestments are gold and green as a "sign of hope." Tsarkova's painting was commissioned by Msgr. Franco Camaldo, an official in the Office ofthe Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff. The artist, a 33-year-old Russian Orthodox living in Rome, personally presented the painting to the pope at an early May private audience. "The pope said it was very expressive," Tsarkova said. Usually Tsarkova's subjects pose for their portraits, but she said she was told that, by custom, popes do not sit for portraits. "Perhaps it is better in this case that the pope would not and could

not pose, because I could choose the pose from a photograph which communicated what I wanted to 'communicate" - strength amid . suffering, she said. Tsarkova also has "hidden" two symbols in the· painting: a reflec-'

tion on the pope's pastoral staff,just over his heart, of an icon of Mary holding Jesus as a symbol of the protection she gives the pope; and, a small light on the Holy Door of the basilica as a symbol of the Holy Year 2000.

(CNS) - To discourage further street protests over the Elian Gonzalez matter, Miami civic leaders will ask the city's churches and synagogues to remain open until midnight when the federal appeals court rules on Elian's asylum petition. .

Annie Tudryn, IS,.js a typical high school senior, looking forward to graduation and getting ready for college. , ' , But unlike most of her peers, she has ashotatcompeting in the Olympics Games in Sydney, Australia, this September. Tudryn, a student at Cathedral Catholic High School in Springfield, is a swimmer, and she'll compete in the 200-meter breaststroke event at the Olympic trials in August in Indianapolis. ' A five-time Massachusetts state champion, she qualified for the trials in March at the senior nationals in Seattle. " "I was there for a day, and then I swam in my heat and Ijust didn't swim well. I wondered how could this happen. I worked so hard the entire season. -Everything inside of me just hurt," she told The Catholic Observer, Springfield's diocesan newspaper. Her coach, Isabelle Fraser, advised her to enter another heat. She did. "I saw that I was ahead and I \ thought that I must be going very fast or everyone else is going slow," she said with her ever-present grin. "I touched the' wall and saw my time, and I couldn't believe it." She swam the 200 meters fne2 ' minutes and 36:42 seconds, which put her into the Olympic trials well under a new qualifying time. Tudryn is a hard worker. When in training she swims seven days a week - usually twice a day. She often does a morning workout from 4:45 to 5: 15 a.m. before heading off to school. But she says she has not let swimming consume her life. She has taken three months off' each year to compete on Cathedral's soccer team. For the past two years, she has played on the varsity level and was a member of the 1998 state championship team. She also chose not to compete
