Appeal books close for '97

The curtain has falIen and the books have closed for the 1997 Catholic Charities Appeal in the Diocese of FalI River, with a new record sum reported, $2,581 ,422.66. Msgr. Thomas J. Harrington, Director of the Appeal, noted that the total received in this year's effort just barely eclipsed the returns registered a year ago. "We would have preferred to . surpass last year's Appeal by a greater margin, of course," he stated, "however, we are gratified by the impressive sum which was colIected." The Appeal was conducted this year within just one month's time, shorter by some ten days than the duration ofthe effort in 1996. Most Rev. Sean P. O'Malley OFM, Cap., Bishop of FalI River, expressed profound gratitude to alI who contributed to the success of this year's Appeal. St. Pius X parish, South Yarmouth, was once againJhe parish community registering the largest • tally, $120,486. The large parish in the mid-Cape area continued the tradition of exceptional generosity to the spring season Diocesan stewardship appeal. Another Cape area parish exhibited one of the greatest and most remarkable percentage increases in recent years. Our Lady of the Assumption parish in OstervilIe reported returns this year of $41,283 surpassing its total of a year ago by more than $10,000 and concluding the drive with a 32 percent increase. A fine increase was noted by yet another Cape parish, Corpus Christi in Sandwich, which reported a final sum of $57,510, substantially exceeding the 1996 tally. In Fall River, St. Michael's parish attained a final sum of$14,532,

representing an increase over the prior year's result of nearly 25 percent. Two parishes in the New Bedford deanery reported excellent percentage increases: St. Francis X!lvier parish in Acushnet had an 18 percent increase, gathering $11,668 in this year's campaign, while St. Rita's parish in Marion, with returns of $9,564, achieved a healthy 17 percent increment. Among parishes in the upper tier of Bristol County, Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Seekonk continued to show remarkable growth, achieving a final tally of$57,840 in this year's Appeal. Offsetting the encouraging results in these and many other parishes (83 parishes in total surpassed last year's amount) were some unexpected difficulties which several parishes experienced in their efforts to meet or exceed the totals received in previous years. Diverse factors appear to have been contributing factors leading to a leveling off of the overall Diocesan effort. Funds generated by the Appeal l!re used to fund social services, health care, education and pastoral endeavors. It is expected that further returns will continue to arrive at Diocesan Headquarters and will be considered "new money" for the 1998 Appeal. Anyone wishing to support the Catholic Charities Appeal please contact Diocesan Headquarters at 344 Highland Avenue, P.O. Box 1470, FalI River, MA 02722, or by caIling (508) 676-8943. The final tabulations of parish returns for the 1997 Appeal are listed on page 10.

the moorins..-,· Explain the Word: Don't Dissect It As was reported last week, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops will have a more than full agenda to face when it meets in Kansas City next week. Chief among the items awaiting them will be approval of a new Sacramentary for use in the United States. The Sacramentary, which includes texts for all Masses and for administration of certain sacraments, is one of the most importantliturgical books used in the Church. For years the Bishops haVe been debating and voting on various parts ofthe Sacramentary; in fact, there have been few issues so rehashed and recycled at their meetings. What they are trying to do amoun~ to a confusing muddle for all except the so-called experts.. The new Sacramentary will supplant the present 1970 edition. In its revised forin it is expected to be more people-oriented, offering a wider range of prayers that are more retlective of the liturgy. But in the meantime, parishes are unable to replace worn copies of the present Sacramentary because publishers have ceased reprinting it while waiting for the new edition. It's been a long, really rather uncalled~for wait.· Now, couple this issue with the fierce debate over inclusive language for a new Lectionary, the book which contains readings and responsorial psalms for Mass, and you can see why Rome is burning as many play their own fiddle. History shows that many subjects have polarized the Bishops, but none seems to have aroused more emotions than that of inclusive language. Some bishops have barely gone beyond the Douai version of Scripture and others want to return to it. Some remain loyal to the thees and thous of the King James version, while.the New American Bible is simply too new for too many. . With all this in mind; can you imagine what happens when gender considerations are thrown into the pot? Sad to say, the subject of '!n inclusive language Lectionary has become a matter of ecclesiastical politics. But in their zeal for their respective causes, those involved have not done justice to what is basic: concern for theo·logical and linguistic accuracy. ' . Most bishops in our country were ordained after the 1963 promulgation ofthe Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy by the Second Vatican Council. At that time the Council Fathers declared that liturgical services are not private functions but are celebrations of the Church, which is the "sacrament of unity," namely a holy people united and organized with their bishops. Contrary to some of the televised liturgical mishmash retlecting individual points of view, the Constitution clearly stated that liturgical services are not occasions for private piety or subjective interpretations, but rather pertain to the whole body of the Church although they do concern individual members in varying ways; for example, the diversity within holy'orders as pertaining to bishops, priests and deacons. However, the Constitution emphasizes the importance of the concept of communal celebration of the liturgy, which inclUdes the presence and active participation of the faithful. The Council Fathers stated such celebrations to be preferable to those that are individual and quasi~private..They also instructed" with regard to revisions of liturgical books such as those now being considered by our bishops, that it be ensured that the rubrics take the role of the people into account. Therefore let us hope that we will have'a new Sacramentary and Lectionary available for parish use in the very neat future. Let us also hope that their language will be comprehensible by all and that it will communicate the Word clearly and unequivocally, as it truly should be, not as some think it should be; .

_Marriage preparation..•as a child?'

By Father Eugene Hemrick A great outcry was heard when dioceses first mandated that engaged couples participate in marriagepreparation courses before' getting married. One irate couple told me: "How dare the church tell grown adults how to prepare for marriage! What can it·tell us that we don't already know?" Although most people don't like mandates, some rules are necessary to keep body and soul, as well as The Editor society, together. - Today marriage preparation is not . only advocated by the church, but by civic communities as well. In a recent New York Times 'article, "Rescuing Marriages Before They Begin," by Hara Estroff OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE DIOCESE OF FALL RIVER Marano, it is reported that a number Published weekly by The Catholic Press of the Diocese of Fall River of U.S. counties now r~uire marital education in order to~btain a civil P.O.

the

Littleton, Colo., gives another good reason for mandating marriage preparation: "In my lifetime couples have gone from taking roles precast by the culture along gender lines to making roles according to their needs." An example of what Miller is re: ferring to is the role of women, once viewed primarily in terms of childrearing. Today many husbands and wives negotiate this role. Marriage-preparation programs can do a lot of good. But some of the good they do should really get done much earlier in a.person's life - at home, as a child. One common goal of marriagepreparation programs created by civic communities is to teach respect. But shouldn't the virtue of respect be instilled in childhood? Why wait until adulthood to rescue it? Respect means recognizing the dignity of others and giving them reverential space. It means never taking another person for granted, never acting as if you own another person. The best place to teach this is at home, through. the example of the respect Ii. husband and'wife have for each other. But today's parents also need outside support in their role,

which is where the role of early religious education comes in, Whether in a Catholic school or a parish education program, children need'to learn that respect is fOUtJded on !1ivine principles. Of course, we also know today that the virtue of respect must be taught to children properly so that they don't misunderstand it to mean they must always do what any adult. whatsoever tells them. Learning the virtue of respect comes down to learning life's value - learning not to devalue the commitments and bonds formed among people who care for and about each other: . The problem is that if a person reaches adulthood without having a grasp of the virtue of respect, programs and mandates end up serving as stopgap measures. If marriages are to be rescued before they begin, the church and civic society would do well to focus more attention on the places where respect is first learned: in the home and in elementary religious education.

Mother Teresa receives highest a,ward from Congress By Patricia Zapor WASHINGTON (CNS)- Congress set aside the usual business of government June 5 to present Mother Teresa with the Congressional Gold Medal in recognition of her humanitarian activities around the world. Inan hourlong ceremony in the rotunda of the Capitol, Mother Teresa was praised by House and Senate leaders and Washington Cardinal James A. Hickey for her example of serving the poor and I unwanted. Rising from her wheelchair to accept the highest honor of the U.S. Congress, Mother Teresa thanked Americans for their generosity to her Missionaries, pf Char-

ity and "for giving me your daughters and sons," the sisters and brothers who have joined her religious order. And she asked repeatedly for prayers for those who serve the poor, hungry, homeless, sick and dying. "I want you all to pray for us," she asked. "Pray that we will continue to do God's work."

her first extended trip away from India since then. She has kept a lower public profile and seems to have been taking it easier than on previous trips abroad.

Punishment versus discipline Dear Dr. Kenny: Is spanking kids child abu..e? .What's wrong with a good swift swat to a well-padded bottom? Let the child learn that misbehavior will result in punishment. H more pa,rents took their responsibility seriously, . we would have far less delinquency today. - New Hampshire I agree wiUl your last statement, that parents need to take child rearing seriously. Punishment, however, is a poor way to motivate and discipline children. Is spanking child abuse? Technically, in most states that depends on whether the spanking leaves marks that can be seen a day later. ' Whether or not spanking qualifies as child abuse, it is wrong. Many states forbid foster parents to use physical punishment. , Verbal abuse can be even worse. Whether the tonguelashing involves obvious demeaning and put-downs or whether the abuse is more subtle, inducing guilt iQ the child, verbal abuse strikes at the soul. \ . Punishment· itself is questionable. Punishment is not good discipline because it does'not work well to obtain the desired result. Discipline includes many more effective techniques for stopping misbehavior and obtaining compliance. Discipline is the total character-molding of the child through love, example, praise and attention for good behavior, and ignoring and punishment for bad behavior. Punishment may provide a short-term deterrent so long as the parent is bigger and stronger and in control. Usually, punishment is the last resort o'f a frustrated and .unskilled parent. . If punishment were effective, advertisers would use it. Have you seen or heard an ad that threatened bad consequences such as loss of popularity or financial insecurity unless you use the product? No, because such an approach would not induce us to buy what they were ' selling. AdS stay 'positive. . . Too often children are subjected to a barrage of what's wrong with them. Th~ child confronted with constant yelling, scolding, moraIizil.lg and spanking will learn that either he or she is a bad character or that parents are to be avoided. Or more simply, the child will tum off and tune out. . Punishment, with its focus on misbehavior, fails to inform a child what he or she should be doing: Identify. ing the misbehavior (e.g. curfew violation), targeting its opposite (coming home on time) and rewarding being on time (with small privileges) is more likely to be effective. The rewarding indicates clearly what is required and gives attention to the appropriate behavior. The most serious indictment of punishment is that it encourages the very behavior that parents are trying to eliminate. By focusing on the undesirable behavior, par.

ents are providing valued time and attention for tlle wrong thing. The time and attention that accompany punishment is called "secondary gain." Too often the secondary gain outweighs the primary painfulness. What parent has not exclaimed: "The more I get after him, the worse he gets. He's just doing it to get attention." Of course he is. So try a better way.

With Dr. James & Mary Kenny If punishment worked well, parents would not have to use it so often. So why do .parents punish? Probably because they believe that punishment hurts and children will behave to avoid the hurt. The key question parents should ask, however is, Does punishment work?

Diocesan school happenings Taunton Catholic Middle School graduated 104 students June 16 in the context of a Mass at St. Jacques Church, at which Bishop Sean O'Malley was principal celebrant. Following the Mass, the Bishop, TCMS principal Kathleen Simpson and faculty member John Lan'agan presented diplomas to the students. A reception followed in the parish hall. In ,Crusader Chronicle, the TCMS newsletter, Ms. Simpson had, some vacation thoughts for parents, noting that' "Parenting never takes a vacation. We teach our children best by our actions and I think we all know how difficult it is to'practice what we preach. We tell our children 'You don't need drugs or alcohol to have a good time.' Do we remember that at our own parties and family gatherings? We tell our children to be respectful. Do we remt:mber that when we feel like 'telling off the store clerk who has gotten under 0\lr skin? How about our language? Our children learn what they live.... Have a great summer and 'walk the talk.' Our kids are watching and learning." In other TCMS news, Andrew Balaschak received a gift certificate from Les Spousta, chairman of youth activities for VFW Post 61 t and District 6 for his winning essay in a VFW-sponsored coniest; and a summer schoolsession will begin July 7. Other awards include the JC Penney-sponsored Golden Rule Award to parent and faithful school volunteer Jeanne Crombie; the Helen R. Lysaght Memorial Scholarship to Lisa Aguiar; the William M.

They have some wonderful -abilities to approach problems from different directions." Munoz believes the program is a way to fix the problems of southwest Detroit at the root. "We keep worrying about more policemen on the street," she explained. "If we give these kids a job and an education" there might not be as much of a problem. Gonzales and Bonilla's foreman, Jim Guerrero, is also impressed with their work. "There's a lot to .learn on these machines," he said. "For the short time they've been here, they've been learning quite rapidly." Participants in the Grace Program receive transportation, uni-forms and continued support, Montaner said, and each speaks at schools. and participates in one volunteer program a month. Montaner admitted that "people thought that I was crazy at first," and that if it wasn't for the support'of Ste. Anne's pastor, Basilian Father Robert Duggan, the program might not have happened. "Father Duggan told me to believe jn myself and do God's work," he recall~d.

And now that Grace Program is successful, "people want to know how," Montaner said. But, according to Montaner, .the solution is simple: "We have to .care about our kids, and love them enough to teach them to live right," _h.e_said. __ , ,__. . . . ,'_' ,'''' .~.._,

who ,run the-house keep one room empty for Pope John Paul yearround, regardless of whether the rest of the house is fully booked, which it often is in peak ski season. The Dziennik Polski magazine depicted it this way: "The room is kept as if its tenant was to return in , a moment. There is an iron bed along the wall - typical of the boarding houses of old. "These beds usually had mattresses with an opening in the middle; they were filled with either rye or wheat straw. The straw rustles wonderfully when the sleeper turns from side to side." The publication explained that "Father Professor Karol Wojtyla," , as the pope was then known, slept on one of those mattresses during his early stays at Jaszczurowka and continued to sleep on one of the iron beds every time he came. "The bed was a little short with respect to the posture of the bishop," it added. "But the Ursuline nuns weren't worried by this because they recall that after a hard day of skiing, the bishop dropped into the bed and didn't fret about its size." That might have been fine for the young Bishop Wojtyla, but it's a different story for the presentday pope: The accommodations for his one and only free day were tailor-made.
