Pioneer class of deacons will be ordained Saturday The first class of permanent deacons in the Fall River diocese will be ordained at 11 a.m. Saturday at a Mass at St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River. Bishop Daniel A. Cronin will be the ordaining prelate. Rev. John F. Moore, diocesan director of the diaconate program, has prepared the candidates for ordination. Permanent deacons, although common in the early days of Christianity, had not been a part of Western church life for centuries, until the order was restored in 1967 by Pope Paul VI following the Second Vatican Council. The Official Catholic Directory for 1980 lists 4,093 U.S. permanent deacons. Qualified unmarried men 25 years of age or older are eligible for the diaconate. They may not marry after ordination. Qualified married men at least 35 years of age may be ordained with the consent of their wives. A married d~n cannot remarry if hi~wife dies. Deacons work in parishes or in various ministries under direction of their bishop and the priests with whom they are associated.

The 13 men to be ordained on Saturday will be empowered to officiate at baptisms, weddings, wakes and funerals. They will also have faculties to preach. Another diaconal candidate was Albert L Gallant, a member of St. Mark's parish, Attleboro Falls, who died last January. Also a member of the Fall River program is Dr. Andre P. Nasser, who was ordained last Sunday for the Melkite-Greek diocese of Newton. He will assist Rev. Norman Ferris in St. Anthony of the Desert Maronite Catholic parish in Fall River. Saturday Service Saturday's service, to which admission will be by ticket only, will include the rites of Calling and Presentation of Candidates, Election by the Bishop and Consent of the People. Following an instruction to the candidates, Bishop Cronin will question them as to their willingness to assume the diaconal office. He will then lay his hands on the head of each and will recite a prayer of consecration as all kneel before h~m.

Following the prayer, each deacon will be invested with the stole and dalmatic emblematic of his new office and will be presented with the book of Gospels. As the bishop places the book in the hands of each man, he will say: "Receive the Gospel of Christ, whose herald you now are. 'Believe what you read, teach what you believe and practice what you teach." Lastly the new deacons and the bishop will exchange the kiss of peace. Music for the ceremony will be by the cathedral choir and a brass ensemble, directed by Glenn Giuttari, cathedral music director. Rev. Horace J. Travassos will be cantor. Members of the diaconal class of 1982 will serve at the ordination Mass and sons and daughters of the deacons will form the offertory procession. The latter include Maureen Walsh, Kevin Drinkwater, Lisa Orosz, Jacqueline Racine, Maurice Lavallee, Roderick Meloni and Peter Schondek. Pictures and biographies of the ordinands lire on page 5.

PARIS (NC)-Pope John Paul II barnstormed through Paris on his visit to :France, leaving in his wake strongly worded warnings to specific ,groups to assume their responsibilities for solving major world and church problems. During the visit, from last Friday through Monday, the pope delivered some 24 speeches. These included: -Asking the 'French bishops to reconcile differences between Catholics rejecting many teachings of Vatican II and those wanting more liberal interpretations of council documents. -Telling scientists they are threatening the future of mankind through genetic manipulation and by creating increasingly

destructive nuclear weapons. -Warning workers against viewing communism as the solution to injustice. "The world has been led into 'an unstable situation because of geopolitical reasons, wounded national pride, the materialism of our age and the decadence of moral values," he said June 2 in a speech at the headquarters of the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. The world's fragile political equilibrium could be destroyed at any time, raising the specter of nuclear war, added the pope. The previous day, he had discussed church issues with the French bishops and said their primary duty is to bring about the "acceptance and relaziation

Reports from Brazil indicate that divisions between conservative and liberal bishops over the papal schedule may be the reason for the delay in announcing an itinerary.

A Momentous Moment For the past five years the diocese' of Fall River has undertaken to implement the Council-inspired call to restore the order of the deacon as a permanent office in the church. This week the labors and toils of 'this new beginning come full cycle to their first fruition. On Saturday morning 13 men will be ordained as deacons, permanently, for the service of sacrament, word ' and ministry in this diocese. This first ceremony assumes a truly historic role in the life of the local church. It has a nature serious and solemn because it answers the call of the Lord. As simplistic as it might, seem, people must realize first and foremost that this is not just another cathedral ceremony: it is the conferral of the Sacrament of Orders proper to the call of deacon. By many, even some already participating in Holy Orders, this point yet has to be concretized in the real here and now. In these circumstances, it will be the newly ordained deacons who will have to prove that they are participants in the brotherhood of the sacrament of Orders. However, far beyond this reality and the many questions and insecurities it arouses is a more important matter by far that should be addressed at this particular time in our diocesan life. . If we conceive of the diaconate as an answer to the shortage of priestly vocations, then everyone in the church is sold short. In no way is the diaconate meant as a substitute for priesthood, nor is it intended to fill in the gaps where priests are now absent in diocesan life. The deacon has his unique vocation revived by the church at this particular time under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The conferral of the order of deacon in the Cathedal Church on Saturday is not only a fulfillment of the work of the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council but also an occasion for us to realize that that -same work is an ongoing process. In this light, it is well that we recall the decisions of Vatican II at the outset of the diaconal ministry in our diocese. The Council fathers clearly indicated that deacons receive the imposition of hands not unto priesthood but unto ministry. Pope Paul VI in his apostolic .letter containing the norms for the diaconate clearly set forth some important considerations that bear repetition. He' stated that from the apostolic age the diaconate has had a unique position, one always held in great esteem by all the church. In other words, what is to be done on Saturday is not something new but something reaching back to the day of the apostles. For this nation the restoration of the' diaconate was requested by the bishops to give te~timony to the threefold character of Holy Orders as manifested by deacon, priest and bishop. After three long years of formation, 13 men will receive the order of deacon to serve the people of God with the appropriate grace of orders, to build up the body of Christ through their personal ministry, to cooperate fraternally with the bishop and priests and to witness to the beauty of family life in Christ. The entire diocese prays that what is begun this week will indeed herald a new age of life in the Spirit for all who will be touched by tl10se who have dedicated themselves to the diaconal ministry. ,

New plan ups school By Sister Mary Ann Walsh ALBANY, N.Y. (NC) - An innovative tuition plan becoming popular in Albany diocesan parochial schools has enabled some schools to boost their revenue by $20,000 in a year. The Fair Share Tuition Plan, in which parents pay as much of the actual cost of their children's education as they possibly can, will be used in 27 of the 60 diocesan elementary schools next September. The program calls for each family to look at the actual cost of educating their children and to decide how much of that cost they can assume. They then meet with the school principal to state what they can pay each month in tuition. There is no pressure; parents do not divulge personal information such as income, mortgage payments or rent, and what they say is confidential. Actual per-pupil cost!! in diocesan elementary schools this year ranged from a low of $279 at Immaculate Conceptio~ school in Watervliet to a high of $764 at St. Margaret Mary school in Albany. Neither school uses the plan. Mercy Sister Patricia Houlihan implemented the plan, which originated in Colorado, at Holy Cross school in Albany in the 1976-77 school year. Under the last year of fixed tuition at Holy Cross, the school's tuition revenue was $45,850, Sister Houlihan said. This year it was $63,000. Per-pupil cost at Holy Cross

Dear Editor: Father Kevin Harrington's May 22 editorial seems ill-informed and misleading with regard to the Charismatic Renewal. Apparently referring to a "pick and choose metality," he says that "there is a tendency among many church members to oversimplify the truths of faith to attract a larger following. This is especially evident in the charismatic movement." As far as the Renewal is concerned, I know of no group more respectful of Church tradition and authority. Charismatics are very conservative. They love the Sacraments, the Mass and Mary and they earnestly seek guidance from the Church. The Renewal focuses on evangelization, that is, bringing people to commit their lives, with joyful exuberance at times, to follow Jesus and witness to him. If this is over-simplification, it is a healthy reaction to an unwholesome complexity which has often produced joyless Christians.

Most prayer groups are actually parish-based. Many pastors testify that they are a spiritual leaven in the parish. Teaching CCD is a favorite form of service. Others include the parish board of education, the Vincentians, the liturgy committee and so forth. Are Charismatics a "subculture . . . who share a common set of values and seek solace among evangelical Protestants"? They do have their own strongly biblical culture; they have their own style of worship; they love one another; all reminiscent of the way of life of the early Christians. Any group seeking to renew the Church is bound to stand apart as different. So it was with the liturgical movement for some 50 years. As for the affinity of Catholic Charismatics with Evangelicals, it is real, based on considerations such as these: Evangelicals take Christ and the Word of God seriously; they are doctrinally conservative; many are also charismatics. My chief reservation in this matter is the Evangelical fundamentalist interpretation of the Bible which our people tend to pick up. This is a challenge we must meet by providing our people with sound Bible teach' ings. Father Pierre Lachance, OP St. Anne Parish Fall River

St. Joseph Dear Editor: I would like to give a gentle reminder to our brothers and sisters in Christ of the powerful intercession of good St. Joseph. Would that he, along with Our Blessed Mother, be interceded at every Mass. I recently read the following: Pope Pius IX on December 8, 1870 declared. St. Joseph patron of the Universal Church and urged all bishops to spread devotion to him. He often spoke of St. Joseph as, after our Blessed Mother, the hope of the Church. "If Mary and Joseph," he often said, "find again the place that they never should have lost in men's hearts, the whole world will be saved. Go to Joseph! Have confidence in him, for his protection as the patron of the Church is most powerful Go to Joseph." Constance Zygiel New Bedford

Housing problem WASHINGTON (NC) Lack of housing is the most serious problem south Florida faces in the wake of the flood of Cuban refugees, Archbishop Edward A. McCarthy has told the Senate Judiciary Committee. The archbishop called for federal efforts in public housing to ease the problem.

Dear Editor: Mother Teresa, the Nobel Peace Prize winner from Calcutta, tells us "Mother Mary is the hope of mankind ... At the foot of the Cross she became our mother also, because Jesus said when he was dying that he gave his mother to St. John and St. John to His mother. At that moment we became her children." Billy Graham's "Decisions Magazine" tells us :Mary was "blessed among women Communer with angels, Fit vessel to house His Son . . . " When the song "Bring Flowers of the Fairest" was sung recently at a popular Broadway show, the audience rose and sang with those on stage - an old lovely song somewhat forgotten (or so it seeined) in our world today. It is good to reflect on all these messages, for it would help restore the dignity of womanhood in a world which at times seems to forget a model given us in Our Lady, especially in this "Year of the Family." Mrs. C. Joseph Nowak Marion, Mass.

A reply Dear Editor: This is a reply to the Anchor editorial of 5/22/80. You assert that the Charismatic Renewal is oversimplifying truths of faith simply to gain a larger following. You also infer by association the idea that the Charismatic Renewal is a subculture; heretical and without respect for hierarchy, tradition, or Papal primacy. These are serious charges and without basis or justification. Since you feel the need to stand up and be counted, let it be known that the majority of persons involved in the Charismatic Renewal are just as respectful of the Church and all its traditions as you and more alive to the mystery of its truths. See.mingly, any time a person talks about Jesus and the Holy Spirit in a personal way, the traditionalists become very upset. Isn't the real question not one of who is faithful to the Church, but who really believes in its true doctrine? The Charismatics do nothing that is not taught or urged by the Church and, indeed, they actually try to live it! They, consisting mainly of lay people, can't hide behind rituals, ceremony, uniforms or other Church paraphernalia. Therefore, they may appear blatant and obvious. The cleric, however, can hide his true face ,behind the Church and never take a real stand as a Christian. It's time the Charismatic Renewal was recognized, not as a band of renegades, but as a body of Christian people truly in love with Jesus Christ. We lovers of Jesus Christ seem to have confronted you inadvertently. Jesus told us in the Good News that Christians would have to endure persecution - so be it! However, it is a tedious endurance for us when it proceeds from those who should know better! God be with you, Father. B. O'Reilly Hyannis

A message

Make no mistake, brethren, about those who have gone to their rest; you are not to lament over them, as the rest of the world does, with no hope to live by. We believe, after all, that ,Jesus underwent death and rose again; just so, when Jesus comes back, God will bring back those who have found rest through him. This we can tell you as a message from the Lord himself; those of us who are still left alive to greet the Lord's coming will not reach the goal before those who have gone to their rest. No, the Lord himself will come down from heaven to summon us, with an archangel crying aloud and the trumpet of God sounding; and first of all the dead will rise up, those who died in Christ. Only after that shall we, who are still left alive, be taken up into the clouds, be swept away to meet Christ in the air, and they will bear us company. And so we shall be with the Lord for ever. Tell one another this for your conso. lation. There is no need, brethren, to write to you about the times and the seasons of all this; you are keeping it clearly in mind, without being told, that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. It is just when men are saying, All quiet, all safe, that doom will fall upon them suddenly, like the pangs that come to a woman in travail, and there will be no escape from it. Whereas you, brethren, are not living in the darkness, for the day to take you by surprise, like a thief; no, you are all born to the light, born to the day; we do not belong to the night and its darkness. -I Thess. 3:12-17; 4:1-5

Massachusetts cemetery law The following extracts from Massachusetts cemetery law have been noted by Father Ernest E. Blais, director of Sacred Heart cemeteries, New Bedford and Notre Dame cemetery and mausoleum, Fall River, as being important to those concerned with the purchase or use of cemetery lots. Use of Cemeteries . Chapter 114 - 28 Conveyance of lots or interest in lots in trust for preservation as memorial; rights of heirs of owner; control over lot or interest in lot. The grantee of any right, title or interest in or to a lot, tomb or monument in any cemetery

owned or controlled by any company or association or by any town, may conveyor devise the same to such company, association or municipality in trust for the purpose of its preservation as a memorial or as a burial place for the bodies of the grantee and his or her descendants or relatives, or of such other persons as may be specified in the instrument creating the trust, or upon such other trust as may be created by the instrument and accepted by the grantee or devisee, but no such instrument shall be construed to take away the right of the heirs of the grantee of a lat or tomb to be buried therein, unless the instrument

FUNERAL SERVICE

contains an express provision to that effect. Any such grantee or devisee may accept any such grant, gift or devise and if it accepts the same shall forever carry out and observe the terms of the instrument by which the grant, gift or devise was made. After the making of a conveyance or the taking effect of a devise and its acceptance by the cemetery authorities, the grantor of the lot, tomb or monument of any interest therein, or the heirs and assigns of the grantor or devisor thereof, shall have no control over it except such as may be reserved in the instrument. Title Vests in Heirs The surviving spouse of the original grantee of the lot has a prior right of one burial space in the lot. This right may be voluntarily forfeited at any time. Otherwise it will terminate upon burial or upon remarriage. The burial rights in the remainder of the lot descend from the interstate grantee on the following order. 1. To the children of the grantee. 2. If none of the children of the grantee are alive, then grandchildren of the grantee.

3. If no children or grandchildren, then the father or mother, or both of the grantee. 4. If no one of the first three classifications is living, then the living brothers and sisters of the grantee. 5. To thl~ grandparents of the grantee. 6. To the nieces and nephews of the grantee. 7. To the uncles and aunts of the grantee. When there is no longer any living persons who could be classified in any of these seven groups, the burial rights in the lot will have terminated. No one except the original grantee can transfer a lot or any part of lot. Each transfer must have the approval of the Reverend DirectOr, in the casle of a Catholic cemetery. Each qualified heir shares equally and jointly in the burial

rights while vacant graves remain in the lot. His individual right cannot be determined except at the time of his own burial which automatically gives him the right if he qualified in the sequence of inheritance. Any qualified heir may release his right at any time. However, he cannot assign or transfer this right to anyone individual, but to the other qualified heirs jointly. When all graves are occupied the surviving heirs lose their rights. Cemetery Trespass Whoever uses as a means of passage from one point to another, not being thereupon at the time for any other purpose, the premises of a cemetery or burial place, in any other parts thereof the defined ways, paths and walks, shall be punished by law by a fine of not more than $20.

In the funeral rites the Church celebrates the paschal mystery of Christ.

age the witness of Christian living. The Church employs the prayer of the psalms in the offices for the dead to express grief and to strengthen genuine hope. Pastors must therefore try by appropriate catechesis to lead their communities to understand and appreciate at least the chief psalms of the funeral liturgy. When pastoral considerations indicate the use of other sacred songs, these should reflect a "warm and living .fove for sacred scripture" and a liturgical spirit.

• for the dead A vigil serVIce According to local custom, a vigil or celebration of God's word may be held in the home of the deceased or at a funeral home, under the leadership of a priest or a lay person. This celebration may be arranged as follows: after an introductory explanation, a psalm and prayer may be said; these are followed by-a reading. After the reading, the priest may give a homily. The vigil concludes with the general intercessions and the Lord's Prayer or with some other suitable prayer. Other scripture readings may be used, especially those which express and develop the Christian view of death. The readings may be interspersed with songs,

especially from the psalms or from the Office of the Dead. This vigil may also take place in the church at a suitable time, provided it is not held immediately before the funeral Mass lest the funeral service be too burdensome and the liturgy of the word duplicated. GREETING Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and find life burdensome, and I wiD refresh you." Or Sirach 2:6: Trust God and he will help you; make straight your ways and hope in him. Or 2 Corinthians 1:3-4: Praised be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all

consolation! He comf~rts us in all our afflictions and thus enables us to comfort those who are in trouble, with the. same consolation we have received from him. If it is the custom, the body is sprinkled with holy water. PSALM Psalm 130 Out of the depths, with a response after each verse, for example: I cry to you, 0 Lord. Or: My souihopes in the Lord. Or Psalm 23 Lord, remember, me in your kingdom. Or Psalm 114-115:12 When Israel came forth from Egypt, with the response: May Christ make you welcome in paradise. Or another appropriate psalm with responsorial verse or biblical invocation. PRAYER After this is added: V. The Lord be with you. R. And also with you. Let us pray. Lord, hear our prayers and be merciful to your son (daughter) N., whom you have called from this life. Welcome him (her) Into the company of your saints, in the kingdom of light and peace. (We ask this) through Christ our Lord. R: Amen.

Other prayers may be substituted. READING A reading follows. HOMILY After the reading, the priest may give a homily.

Two special children By Sheila Cragg "Kevin leave your brother alone," "Stop teasing Tim:' "Don't make your brother mad:' That exchange could have been overheard in our home. Was Kevin the agitator, the one who couldn't behave himself? No. Kevin wanted to piay and wrestle with his younger brother as any brother does. But normal tussling sometimes sent Tim into a frenzy of destruction. When Tim was 6, he was diagnosed as hyperactive. Later we found out he had learning disabilities and epilepsy. But in our concern for Tim, we were denying Kevin's rights. I remember one incident when Tim had annoyed his brother most of the afternoon. Kevin was playing with his electric train, which kept breaking down. When it did, Tim made fun of Kevin. In return Kevin pounded and punched Tim even when Tim wasn't bothering him.

Even now that Kevin is in college, we have continued to eat lunch out together, giving him an opportunity to share his plans and feelings. Today, Tim still has epilepsy, but his hyperactivity is part of his past. We realize Kevin could have grown to resent his brother if we had not changed the way we were handling the boys.

Fortunately, they enjoy a close friendship. Tim helps Kevin with a church youth group where Kevin is a team leader of 80 students. Through it all, Kevin has developed leadership skills and patience required to work with young people and their problems. Recently Kevin said, "I learned to be responsible, because you allowed me to do things:' We are grateful that we realized early that he was special too.

lRaising a retarded child By Gloria J. ~Bolesh The handicapped c~ild's family faces unique challenges. The Kellehers of St. Mary's Parish in Alexandria, Va. - Frank, Janice, Nicky, and Kelly - are such a family. Twenty-three years ago, Nicky was born with down's syndrome and a severe heart defect. No one expected Nicky to live more than five years. But, as Janice points out, "Somehow God had other plans for Nicky, and knowing that makes dealing with his handicap and other problems much easier:' Such problems include acceptance; ac,c:eptance by the family that their child is not the tradi-

tional bouncing baby. Here, support from the extended family, the church and one's own faith is crucial, Janice says. Once there is acceptance, the parents can move on .to the next problem, that of education. Fortunately, Nicky was able to attend school. After 12 years, he had made progress but there was still room to grow. His parents enrolled him in a sheltered workshop, where he accomplished much, especially in the area of personal relationships. Janice says, "Our advice to other parents of retarded children is to use all of the public programs available in the field of education. They really help Turn to Page Thirteen

"Courage in affliction By Father John J. Castelot Each evangelist wrote his Gospel for a specific Christian community Olr group of communities. They were not out to write edifying little lives of Jesus, but rather to apply the Christ-event to real-life situations. These situations determined the choke and arrangement of the traditional material. Luke, for instance, seems to have composed his two-volume work (Luke-Acts) for a group of mission-oriented communities in the second generation of Christianity. They are dedicated to carrying on the work of dynamic men like Paul, but the going is becoming difficult. The initial success itself has aroused suspicion, jealousy, hatred, opposition, and persecution, mostly subtle, but still hard to take. The danger of discouragement,

the temptation to give up and rest on their laurels are what the people have to resist. Luke writes to encourage and to motivate them to continued effort. The instruction which Jesus gave his disciples has taken on new meaning and ~mediate relevance: "I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men - the Son of Man will acknowledge him before the angels of God . .. When they bring you before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say. The Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment all that should be said" (Luke 12, 2-4, 6-8,11-12).

Solenidade Do Corpo De Deus A primeira vista esta festa liturgica parece semelhante a da Quinta-feira Santa. Todavia, tern 0 seu matiz caracterIstico; na Quinta-feira Santa, celebramos a institui~ao da Eu' caristia nurna perspectiva ou conexao imediata com a Paixao, Morte e Ressur' rei~ao de Cristo; pelo contrario, se bern que seja certo que esta rela~ao e irnprescindIvel, por ser essencial a Eucaristia, a Solenidade do Corpo de Deus acentua-se a ideia do Pao vivo que nos da a vida, e a fe na presen~a eucarIstica de Jesus; daI, as procissoes do Corpo de Deus. Esta festa surgiu ja muito tarde, no seculo XIII como reac~ao anti-heretica. A evoca~ao da Pessoa de Jesus, das palavras que nos dirigiu, dos acontecirnentos e sinais de Deus que Ele viveu "por n5s", e urn elernento es' sencial na vida de quem se disser crente. Precisamente na Festa do Corpo dE Deus, que 0 presente e 0 imediato monopoliza quase toda a nossa aten~aol devemos reservar 'urn lugar para essa "lembranc;a". Ternos de dar vida, por ·meio· da fe, a tudo 0 que se realizou em Cristo por n5s e para n5s. A celebra~ao da Eucaristia nao e apenas 0 momento duma vivencia religiosa, mas tambem urna 'convivencia na recorda~ao viva do pr5prio Jesus que viveu e continua a viver dentro da comunidade reunida, e cujo misterio salvador, a Sua Morte e Ressurrei~ao, devemos proclarnar. o cristao sabe que a sua vida e urn ir andando ao encontro do Senhor. Sabe-o e espera-o. Na celebra~ao eucarIstica, devese apurar este sentido que nos orienta e projecta para urn porvir que, em vez de ser ternido, e serena e resonsavelrnente esper~do. 0 grito liturgico que ressoa no rnomento mais solene "Vern, Senhor Jesus", encerra toda uma concep~ao da vida, tanto no sector individual, como no profissional, familiar e social. A celebra~ao da Eucaristia, momento de encontro dos crentes entre si e com 0 Senhor, presente nos sinais, e urna clara alusao ao encontro definitivo com Cristo. Mais ainda: inaugura mesmo esse encontro que depois se realizara de forma evidente e sem veus. A celebra9ao da Eucaristia destina-se a estimular 0 compromisso. A lembran9a e a espera do Senhor urgem o compromi s so' no intervalo. A pessoa do Senhor, a Suas palavras, a Sua maneira de agir impelem-nos para urn est!lo de vida ~iferente. A participa~ao, a comunhao no Corpo do Senhor esta particularmente orientada para ir realizando a Comunidade dos Crentes como verdadeiro Corpo MIstico de Cristo; Corpo que a nova presen~a de Jesus se manifeste ao rnundo: "Para que creiam que Tu me enviaste".

Raising a retarded child Continued from page twelve prepare the child to be a functioning person in society." People can be cruel and unaccepting, and sometimes. this causes a problem. But to Frank, Nicky's stepfather, what others thought was never a problem and Nicky was always included in all aspects of family life. "As far as I'm concerned, Nicky's heart condition is far more serious than the fact that he is retarded," Frank said. Frank is active in scouting for the retarded and has helped retarded persons move out of institutions and into group homes or apartments. Nicky's good friend Joyce is now living in an apartment as a functioning member of society, thanks to the Kellehers. Kelly, Nicky's sister, is in first year high school. She has never been sheltered from Nicky's retardation. Her parents believe that her true acceptance of Nicky came slowly - and naturally but note that she now invites her friends home without first asking whether Nicky will be there. There are daily concerns, like teaching Nicky to pace himself to avoid straining his heart. Because his condition prevents air travel, all vacations must be by car. Then there is the overriding concern of Nicky's parents about his future, should they die un-

For children Continued from page twelve disciples and the crowds against their plots. "Be on your guard against the hypocrist of the Pharisees," he told them. "Their words are treacherous." Jesus encouraged his friends to trust in God in the face of the troubles that would come. "I say to you who are my friends: Don't be afraid of those who can kill the body, but can do no more. Rather fear those who can destroy your spirits forever." Jesus noticed a flock of small birds flying overhead. "Are not five sparrows sold for a few pennies?" he asked. "Yet not one of those small birds is neglected by God. Even the hairs of your head are counted. Fear nothing then!' You are worth more than a flock of sparrows." Then he became more solemn. Everyone st~ined to hear what he was about to say. "If you stand by me in public in the difficult days ahead, I will be faithful to you before God's angels in heaven. If you disown me in public, you will be disowned in the sight of God's angels." He added some final words of encouragement. "When they bring you to trial because of me, don't worry about what to say or how to defend yourself. The Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what to say." As the crowd' broke up some of the Pharisees were even more angry with Jesus. They redoubled their efforts to have him silenced.

expectedly. "We provide every opportunity for Nicky to realize his potential. From then on it is in God's hands." An outgoing, articulate young man, Nicky is a master of the "one-liner" joke. His security at home as well as with strangers reflects the firm and loving support of his family. At the Kelleher house, there are always friends from the workshop visiting Nicky. One of his best friends, Joyce, accompanied the family on a trip to Disney World. "Sure it was hard taking two retarded children," Janice said. "But it can be hard to take children who are not retarded." There are, of course, positive things which a retarded child brings to a family. As Joyce points out, "Seeing those little accomplishments which come so dearly makes life sweet."

Courage Continued from Page Twelve culties, and whose trust was vindicated magnificently. Paul faced troublesome situations but he saw their potential for the good of others. If God comforted him, it was so that Paul could comfort others; if he was afflicted, it was for their encouragement, so that they could endure courageously the same sufferings. On the other hand, Paul depends on their prayers. (2 Cor. 1:3-7,11) This is also true for us. For instance, the presence of a chronically afflicted child in a family is an undeniable trial. It can engender disruptive and destructive emotions. But because it calls for unselfish, creative love, it is an abiding occasion for achieving real human greatness. But this is not easy and a family in this situation might well look to the greater parish family as Paul looked to his: "You must help us with your prayers, so that on our behalf God may be thanked for the gift granted us through the prayers of so many" (2 Cor. 1:11).

WASHINGTON (NC) - The U.S. bishops have given overwhelming approval to an assess· ment of 10 cents per Catholic for support of the budget of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and U.S. Catholic Con· ference during 1981. The final vote was 131-11. It came as part of consideration by the bishops to scale down their national operation to avoid increase in the per capita assessment. The 10 cent model is the basis for development of a detailed 1981 budget to be voted on by the bishops in November. A 10 cent assessment means that an archdiocese such as Chicago, with 5.7 million Catholics, would be assessed some $57,000 for support of the NCCB-USCC budget. The assessment raises about $4.5 million toward the current NCCB-USCC budget of $14.5 million.

MIAMI (NC) Haitian' "refugees in Miami have protested both the expenses incurred in the $3 million to $5 million wedding of Haiti's ruler, President-for-life Jean-Claude Duvalier, and the Catholic Church's involvement in the ceremony. Duvalier was wed to a divorced woman, Michelle Bennett, last week in Port-au-Prince cathedral, which, like the ruler's mansion, was renovated for the occasion. Duvalier and his bride were married by Archbishop . Francois Wolff-Ligonde of Portau-Prince, Haiti's capital. Father Gerard Jean-Juste, director of the Haitian Refugee Center in Miami, said he had sent a telegram to Archbishop Jean Jadot, apostolic delegate in the United States, protesting the church's role in Duvalier's wedding. Father Je~n-Juste said that Duvalier's new wife had previously been married to a Catholic and that Duvalier had influenced Archbishop Wolff· Ligonde to find that prior marriage invalid. Other reports said she had been married to an Episcopalian. "The church had no business at all" being involved, he said, terming the church's role as hypocritical. "It should have stood up. We should stand firm on our principles."
