High court OKs church hire of members only WASHINGTON (NC) - The Supreme Court has upheld a federal provision allowing church institutions to employ only church members even for non-religious jobs.

In a case involving the Mormon Church, the ,court ruled unanimously in a late-June decision that a 1972 anti-bias law which exempts such employment discrimination by church groups is constitutional.

The decision reversed the ruling of a federal district court that declared the exemption for churches from some civil rights laws unconstitutional.

The U.S. Catholic Conference, public policy arm of the U.S. bishops, had urged the high court to uphold the discrimination exemption and reverse the lower court.

Justice Byron R. White, writing for the court, said that "a law is not

unconstitutional simply because it allows churches to advance religion, which is their very purpose."

For a law to be struck down, he said, "it must be fair to say that the government itself has advanced religion through its own activities."

Four justices, in concurring opinions, emphasized that the ruling involved an exemption only for nonprofit activities, which usually involve operations central to a church's religious mission.

The case, Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints vs. Amos, arose when a Mormonowned· nonprofit company fired Arthur Mayson, a Mormon employee who failed to attain a demanded level of church perfection.

Others fired for the same reason joined in a suit brought against the church.

Mayson was a janitor responsi-

ble for maintaining a church-owned gymnasium.

In his ruling U.S. District Judge David K. Winder in Utah said that religious employers may refuse to hire people outside their faith for "religious" activities only, not for "secular" or nonreligious jobs.

He said that a 1972 exemption to the 1964 Civil Rights Act ban on discrimination based on religion, race, color, sex and national origin could "advance religious tenets and practices" and thus violated the First Amendment's ban against establishment of religion.

The First Amendment's two clauses dealing with religion guarantee that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. " The 1964 law generally bans discrimination in employment based on religion, but it made an

exception to allow religious employers to restrict employment to "individuals of a particular religion to perform work connected with [their] religious activities."

In the 1972 amendment Congress deleted the word "religious" from the exception, thus allowing religious employers to hire only members of their faith whether or not the work is religious in nature.

Last January the USCC filed a friend-of-the-court briefurging the Supreme Court to overturn Winder's ruling. The USCC said the lower court misinterpreted the ban against established religion and said that unless this "flawed analysis" were corrected it would "lead to increased governmental involvement in the affairs of religious organizations. " In its brief the USCC did not discuss the merits of the Mormon

Church's position and stated that its concern was "in rectifying the erroneous construction of the Establishment Clause adopted by the district court. " The USCC said when the Mormon Church favored its own members and discharged employees who did not meet church standards, "its actions did not implicate any constitutional provision."

It said the civil rights exemption "does not impermissibly prefer or advance religion in violation of the Establishment Clause," but rather "it insulates religion from certain governmental regulation."

Because of the constitutional question involving a U.S. law, the Supreme Court pro;vjded expedited review of the distri'ct court ruling and there was no appeals court dec.ision in the case.

The bishop's privilege: 40th Blessing of Fleet

By Joseph Motta Saying that all Catholics, like Peter the Apostle, have the responsibility to be "fishers of souls" and "attract people to the faith by our own good examples," Bishop Daniel A. Cronin offered Mass preceding the annual Blessing of the Fleet ceremony June 28 at St. Peter the Apostle parish, Provincetown.

The bishop was principal celebrant and homilist of the Mass.

Concelebrants included Father Edward J. Burns, St. Peter's pastor; Dom Gavin Barnes, OSB, a summer assistant from St. Meinrad Archabbey, St. Meinrad, Ind.; and Father Francis Aresta, SCJ, a Provincetown native home from mission work in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

Msgr. JohnJ. Oliveira was master of ceremonies at the Mass and at the 40th annual blessing of fishing and pleasure craft which followed off MacMillan Wharf in Cape Cod Harbor.

"I've always considered it a privilege to be able to offer Holy Mass for the fishermen of the Provincetown fleet and their families," the bishop said in his homily, "and to pray in happy memory for the fishermen who have gone before us, partic'ularly those who have died at sea."

The bishop noted that he was celebrating the feast of Saints Peter and Paul a day early with his visit to the Cape-tip town. The blessing, traditionally held the last Sunday in June, always falls on or about the saints' feast day.

Bishop Cronin emphasized the "deeply spiritual meaning" of the family celebration and urged Massgoers to focus on the religious side of the many festivities of the day.

"Our lives forever are destined to be with the Lord," he'said, "and our lives on earth are purely in preparation for that."

He also said that Pope John Paul II has much in common with Peter, the first pope, and, like his predecessor, "sees to it that the pastoral care of souls is enhanced."

He asked prayers for the pope "to carry out his ministry with the courage and convictions of the first Peter."

Lectors at the Mass in the nautically decorated church were Christopher ~now, a local attorney, and Kevin Ferreira, a fishing industry

worker. Music was by the parish choir and a chamber group from the Cape Cod Conservatory of West Barnstable.

Children of fishermen were included in the offertory procession, and fishermen Kenneth Macara and John Vasques accompanied the bishop onto the altar, sitting beside him during the liturgy.

Vasques captains the "Gale," the vessel that carried the bishop into the harbor for the blessing.

Macara is top man on the "Ruthy L," last year's host boat.

Bishop Cronin prayed for the fishermen before ending the Mass.

His prayer, delivered in former years on MacMillan Wharf, the original site of the blessing, was offered in church so that the fishermen could hear it.

"Lord ... by your holy hand bless these boats and the fishermen ... send your holy angel from on high to watch over them and all on board to ward off any threat of disaster and to guide their course through calm waters to the destined port.

"Then, after a time, when they have had success in their labors, may you in your loving providence bring them back with glad hearts to their homes."

Todd Motta, a 28-year-old parishioner who captains the fishing vessel "Liberty Belle," said he has participated in the blessing all his life.

"It's nice to see the bishop come down and bless the boats," he said.

Stormy hearings foreseen for controversial Bork WASHINGTON (NC) - Abortion opponents have warmly welcomed President Reagan's nomination of Robert H. Bork to the Supreme Court, but abortion supporters and others have threatened to turn his confirmation hearings into a long hot summer.

Abortion, civil rights and education groups vowed to fight against Bork, 60, a federal appeals court judge nominated by Reagan July I to succeed Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr. Senate Democratic leaders predicted that Bork faces a confirmation battle so bitter it could last well past the Oct. 5 opening of the next Supreme Court term.

One of Bork's most controversial positions is that the privacy doctrine that is the basis for abortion rights is unconstitutional. In 1981 testimony, Bork called Roe vs. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that struck down most state abortion laws, "an unconstitutional decision, a serious and wholly unjustifiable judicial usurpation of state legislative authority." , However, he has testifed against a bill that would declare a human embryo a person from the moment of conception.

In nominating Bork "President Reagan has fulfilled his 1984 campaign promise to appoint highly qualified Supreme Court justices who will interpret the Constitution according to its text and history;" the- National Right. to Life :Committee said in a July 2 statement.

The day before the nomination National Abortion Rights Action League executive director Kate Michelman pledged, "We're going to wage an all-out frontal assault if Bork is nominated."

David N. O'Steen, National Right to Life Connnittee executive director, said that abortion opponents will launch an even larger grassroots effort in support of Bork.

"Apparently the pro-abortion movement fears that Roe vs. Wade will not survive an honest reading ofthe Constitution," O'Steen said.

Richard McMunn, director of publications for the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, said Bork's position on Roe vs. Wade is that it was "a raw exercise of judicial power.' The court usurped what rightly belonged in legislation.

"While not a flat statement as being opposed to abortion, it's at least encouraging," he said.

Paul Brown, chief executive officer of the American Life League, said he was "pleased" with the nomination but "I don't hail it as a panacea; it's certainly not going to solve the problem of abortion."

O'Steen, McMunn and Brown all voiced concern that Senate Democratic leaders will fight Bork's nomination on political grounds.

"It's a tough battle," Brown said.

"The biggest concern I have is a filibuster with (Sen. Edward) Kennedy (D-Mass.) and (Sen. Robert) Packwood (R-Ore.) leading the charge."

Jerome Ernst, director of the National Catholic Conference on Interracial Justice, said his organization is trying to balance its con-

cern about Bork's civil rights record with its support for anti-abortion views.

"Obviously we can't be too happy with much of his record," Ernst said, citing Bork's position on affirmative action. Bork has questioned the constitutionality of giving preferential treatment to members of racial minorities not themselves victims of discrimination.

On the other hand, said Ernst, the conference is "mainstream Catholic Church" in its support of pro-life, "We're concerned about boththe right to life and civil rights....

How do you put the seamless garment together in this case?" he asked.

Describing himself in a 1985 interview, Bork said, "In matters of economics, I belong in general REV. BRUNO CIARDIELLO, OFM (left), and Bishop Daniel A. Cronin at annual to the free-market school.

Father Ritter being treated for cancer WASHINGTON (NC) - Franciscan Father Bruce Ritter; 60, founder ~f Covenant House, an internationally known program for runaway teens, is undergoing chemotherapy for Hodgkin's disease, a form of lymphatic cancer.

He was diagnosed as having the disease June 28 at New York University Medical Center, said John' Kells, an aide to the priest.

Doctors predict that because the cancer was diagnosed early, with six months of chemotherapy and radiation Father Ritter's chances of a complete cure are "very good," Kells said in a telephone interview.

While receiving weekly treatments as an outpatient, Father Ritter continues to live at Covenant House, the first shelter he founded in 1977, a block from Times Square in New York City.

Kells said Father Ritter was "somewhat nervous" when he learned of the disease. However, in an interview with Bill Reel, columnist for the New York Daily News, Father Ritter said the cancer was an opportunity to take stock and "probably the greatest gift I've received since my ordination."

"I've been delivered from a sudden, unprovided-for death," he told Reel, a longtime friend and supporter of Covenant House.

"This was a shot across the bow, not a direct hit in the engine room.

I'll be able to spend more time with the kids and I'm going to think hard about how the mission of Covenant House - which is to make works of the church manifest, to make the presence of Christ real - can be transmitted."

Despite treatment-associated nausea which has made Father Ritter "very sick," Kells said the priest's spirits remain high and he has continued to work at Covenant House. However, the treatment plan forced cancellation of visits to Guatemala, where he was to have celebrated the sixth anniversary of a house for runaways he founded near Guatemala City, and to Alaska to open another shelter.

Senseless Rancor Regardless of the outcome, the outcry from the left over the nomination of Robert H. Bork to the Supreme Court borders on the senseless, if not the totally absurd. One would think that President Reagan had proposed that a complete idiot devoid of all legal expertise should serve on the high court.

What is so very sad about the liberal attack on Bork is that it is based chiefly on his so-called anti-abortion stance and that it is led by one who considers himself a member of the Catholic Church, none other than the senior senator from our own state of Massachusetts, the renowned Edward M. Kennedy.

His objection to the Bork nomination is that if confirmed the judge might endanger freedom of choice with regard to abortion. With vindictive verbiage, the senator has joined forces with the National Abortion Rights Action League in waging all-out war against Bork.

Senator Kennedy's grounds for leading the opposition to Bork are an embarrassment to all who hold life holy and sacred. His words and their tenor are tragic. Once more we see one who holds in private to Catholic moral and ethical standards, but denounces them in the marketplace, employing the dual standard for the sake of political advantage.

Bork's nomination deserves to be considered in an orderly and rational manner. It should not become a springboard for political factionalism based solely on abortion and allied issues. Bork's hearings should be conducted objectively, in an atmosphere free of petty and destructive party pofitics.

AdmittedlY,an appointment to the ,Supreme Court has its human ramifications. There are bound to be conflicting interpretations of the Constitution, but criticism of them should not include attacks on a person's integrity.

The outrageous assaults on Bork by liberal contingents are malicious and ruthless. What makes them even more savage is that so many of them originate with abortionists and their political supporters. , It is disgraceful 'that a Catholic should be a leader in this attack. Our church rightly teaches that a direct abortion in which a fetus is intentionally removed from the womb is murder of an innocent human being, a violation of the fifth commandment.

There is no viability to the so-called pro-choice position.

There is no room for compromise or concession on the issue of life.

It is an affront to believing Catholics that one who only a few weeks ago had his picture in the national press with the pope should once again become the spokesperson for the proabortion forces attempting to block the Bork appointment.

It is not the place of this editor to approve or disapprove the action of the President in fulfilling his constitutional responsibility to nominate a candidate for the Supreme Court. However, Catholics should realize that their church does not serve a buffet of situational ethics.

We hold that the church has the right and obligation to spea~Mt clearly on those ethical and moral issues that are critic~t;~to human existence and that her teachings flow from the living Word and the handing on of that Word.

There can be no compromising of the Word, whether it is found convenient or inconvenient, even if this involves taking a politically difficult stance.

It would be well if Senator Kennedy would, for once in his political career, summon the resolve to affirm this fact.

CHARLIE DeLEO BELOW LIBERTY'S TORCH BEFORE RENOVATIONS

"The flame of the fire shall not be quenched." Eze. 20:47

Keeper of the Flame In 1980 and again in 1982, The Anchor ran Fourth of July feature stories on Charles DeLeo, who since 1972, as a member of the National Park Service, has maintained the torch of the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor.

A member of Blessed Sacrament parish in Brooklyn, he regards his work as a religious vocation and soon after he began work on Liberty Island, dedicated the original 1886 torch as a chapel, where he habitually prayed.

When Pope John Paul II spoke at nearby Battery Park in 1979, DeLeo lit the torch and prayed for the success of the papal pilgrimage. Over the years he has contributed thousands ofdollars to Mother Teresa's hospices and to numerous other charitable undertakings.

He has frequently been profiled in newspapers and magazines and on television, recently on a CBS program on which former House Speaker Tip O'Neill told the story of the "keeper of the flame."

With a new torch in place as part of the IOOth anniversary refurbishment of the statue which took place last year, we wondered if DeLeo's responsibilities as keeper of Liberty's flame had changed.

We wrote to ask him and with characteristic speed he replied: "Yes, I am still working at the Statue of Liberty and yes, I now proudly and thanks be to God take care of two flames.

"Each week I go up to the top of Miss Liberty's new goldleaf flame and check the 16 brand new lighting fixtures that surround the outside of the new torch catwalk.

They are 250-watt quartz lamps which bathe the new goldleaf flame with the brightest flame Miss Liberty has ever held.

"Here is a poem I ~rote calle,d 'This Lady Prays,' which is about her new flame and what I feel she would have said on July 4, 1986, her lOOth birthday, could she speak.

It is dedicated to Patricia McCanlies, who gave me the inspiration to write it.

"My flame, though changed from glass to gold, Now blazes out with brighter hope, To all that are on freedom's side, my golden flame burns deep inside, For Freedom costs an awful price, for millions paid with their dear lives To keep alive the spark that lights the sacred flame of Freedom's light.

My flame is fueled by cries and moans, by blood and tears and hearts that glow, By all who dare to hope and dream and fight to keep me standing free.

They speak to me of woe and grief, of bonds and chains and agony. o Liberty, sweet Liberty, 111 always stand on guard for thee.

Great God has placed me where I am and fashioned me with wondrous care.

He always hears my silent prayer, I have a soul, I care, ( care.

"Nowadays I also clean the old original torch and flame displayed

in the lobby of the statue's base. I wash down the glass to keep the old flame looking real good, and vacuum the copper torch catwalk and exterior walls. I also change any of the to 300-watt incandescent lamps which now light the old flame for the visitors to see close up.

"Just before the restoration began in 1984, I was asked to work with a team of French engineers and architects for about to weeks.

I helped them set up machines throughout the interior of Miss Liberty....They found that her right arm was still in good shape but the old torch and glass and copper flame were in such poor condition that they could not be redone.

"My heart ached as I saw my chapel to the Lord coming down, but I knew that God would restore me once again as the keeper of th~ flame.

"I worked both on and off Ellis Island and Liberty Island while the restoration work was done. I also now change about 140 new fluorescent lights which run from the base of the statue to near her crown. They are a bit difficult to reach so I wear a safety belt and use one arm to change the fourfoot tube and the .other to hold on to the steel.

"I've dedicated Miss Liberty's new golden flame to God and it's now my prayer chapel but yet it will never take away the love I have for myoid glass flame."

Depression helps As a followup to my recent columns on depression, I am listing books and support groups recommended by readers in the order of recommendation: i.e., the first listed are the ones that were most often mentioned.

Readers were emphatic about the value of reading, both in the areas of depression and spirituality. "Even after your depression is lifted, keep reading," several said.

"It helps offset that feeling of isolation that brings on another bout."

A word here about obtaining these books Please do not write to me for more information on getting them. I am offering titles and authors as supplied by readers and also some from my own library.

There are several ways of getting these. Call your li&raries; public, Catholic college and seminary. If they don't have a book you want, ask if they can obtain it for you.

Most libraries do this without charge.

If a book is out of print and your library doesn't have it, check the second hand bookstores. I have obtained several there. If it's in print but you can't find it, either ask a bookstore to order it for you or get the name and address of the publisher from your librarian and send for it.

Here are the books recommended for dealing with depression: The Bible, especially the Psalms; The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck; Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy by David Burns, M.D.; Mental Health

Confidence declines In 1986, 57 percent of Americans expressed "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in the "church or organized religion," according to a Gallup poll. The figure represents an amazing drop of nine percent in a single year.

The confidence of U.S. Catholics in religion, however, plummeted even more in 1986. It was down 12 percent.

When asked for an explanation, George Gallup Jr. replied, "I honestly don't know." He pointed out that there isn't a growing disillusionment with other institutions.

People's confidence in public schools, Congress, newspapers, labor unions and the military has risen slightly.

Like Gallup, I have no data to back up the reason for the decline in confidence, but I do have an educated guess about the decline of confidence in the church among Catholics.

As much as the church advocated the need for dialogue after the Second Vatican Council, we have been steadily. moving further away from practicing it, in its deepest sense.

More than any other person during our times, Pope Paul VI defined the dialogue to which I refer. He saw dialogue as seeking truth in the other and in oneself.

For him it is the ceaseless effort to enter into contact with another mind and to try to see from the other's viewpoint. This is no easy task. In fact, it is heroic because of the demands it puts on us.

Ultimately, Pope Paul VI felt dialogue meant listening to the other in the divine sense, the way Christ listened to the pilgrims at Emmaus. It is communicating with an affection and absorption that begins to break down barriers.

a desire to get at the truth and a person who has the patience and persistence to pursue it.

Today, I detect a growing impatience among Catholics. Recent controversies in the church have set many people on edge. Many have become assertive of their rights to the point of becoming warriors over them.

Whenever we become hypersensitive it is near impossible to be patient. Once patience goes, the persistence needed to get at the truth.goes also. Then dialogue is in danger of turning into a dialectic in which conflict is seen as the only way of making progress.

Conflict is unavoidable, of course, and at times it serves the purpose of moving us out of lethargy. However, if the decline of confidence in the church among Catholics is the result of too many internal church conflicts, it might be time to put down the sword and follow the sage advice on dialogue given by the 18th century German philosopher Gottfried Leibniz.

He said that the position of another is where the search for truth begins. Put another way, to go outside oneself to adopt - if only for a moment - the point of view of one's interlocutor is to practice love.

Q. When my daughter was born four years ago we chose my sister and her husband as godparents.

Si~ce then, they have divorced and my daughter no longer has a godfather, at least anyone who cares for her.

I would like my brother to be her godfather. Is it possible to change a godparent? (Texas) A. Baptismal godparents are a matter of permanent record and cannot be changed in the formal way you suggest.

This does not preclude, however, your brother becoming in fact what he may not be on the official records, a strong support for you as parents and for your daughter in helping her to grow into a good Catholic Christian woman.

I think it is commendable that you take this responsibility seriously and, as I assume from your letter, that your brother is willing to accept the obligations normally fulfilled by a godfather.

He might fill these responsibilities in many ways, through staying in close touch with her and talking with her on occasion about her faith, giving gifts at appropriate times and, of course, keeping her in his prayers.

You might discover a special place your brother might take in the celebration of her first Communion, for example. He also might be her sponsor at confirmation when that time comes some years from now.

As I said, your concern is admirable. Perhaps more parents whose baptismal sponsprs are unable or unwilling to blfill their responsibilities should follow your example.

Q. I am a baptized Catholic, divorced and remarried outside the Catholic church. I have been to confession and received absolution from my parish priest but still am told I cannot receive Holy Communion.

However, I hear similar situations where people have received Holy Communion which really leaves me confused. Please clarify for me how you can be forgiven your sins through a sacrament (penance) but not allowed to receive Holy Communion, another sacrament. (North Carolina) A. I'm sorry I cannot answer you.

Perhaps you have omitted something important in your letter. I can only suggest that you go back to your parish priest and ask him to explain what has been done.

Q. Is it permissible to have a funeral parlor service by a priest or graveside pnyers instead ofa Mass?

We do not have a family and friends have dwindled by death or moving.

Weare far from others due to relocation in a senior development.

We're talking about it and want to make things as easy as possible for others. We feel a Mass can be said later.

Also, must we be buried in a Catholic cemetery or is another one acceptable? (New Jersey)

By FATHER JOHN DIETZEN

A. All the possibilities you suggest or ask about are permissible.

No Mass is required at the actual funeral rite. I do have a couple of thoughts for you to reflect on.

You said you have no friends or family. The fact is you do have a faith family and community right there, your parish.

Perhaps you have not been as close to it as YOl1were to the parish at home, but it is your religious family now, and I'm sure the priest and the people there would want to share in the Eucharist and prayers at the time of your death.

Also, through such a Catholic funeral, with the celebration of Mass and other rites, you give a witness ofyour faith to your friends.

Perhaps not many of them would be able to be present at the ceremony, but they would still know about it and what it means to you.

Don't quickly pass it by.

New opponent NEW YORK (NC) - Cardinal John J. O'Connor, who in the past has tangled with New York Gov. Mario Cuomo and vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro over abortion, now has taken on Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y. In a recent column in the archdiocesan weekly, Catholic New York, he did not identify Moynihan by name but quoted from a Moynihan statement on abortion, calling it "doubletalk," Orwellian "newspeak" and "a distressing example of politics at its least noble."

He said that Moynihan on other issues is "a man who ftghts for every protection of the law for the poor, the homeless, the downtrodden, a man who does not hesitate to vote for legislation on various issues in which apparently his moral beliefs tell him such legislation is needed."

At meeting Pauline L'Heureux ofSt. Mary's parish, Seekonk, a member of the Diocesan Service Committee for the Charismatic Renewal, was among 800 participants in a recent charismatic conference at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio.

Dominican province marks silver jubilee

By Sister Madeleine Clemence, OP On Saturday June 20, the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation came from Texas, New Mexico and Washington, D.C. to meet their sisters of the Fall River diocese and celebrate the silver jubilee of the erection of the United States

Hers WasA R.' Love Story In 1822, this lovely young French "belle of the ball" gave up her beautiful gowns and parties and spent much of her time caring for the poor in a hospital for incurables.

Enough goodness for anyone, wouldn't you say? But no; Pauline Jaricot had a deep-down wish to "love without measure ...without end," to love the poorest of her sisters and brothers even at the ends of the earth.

In fulfilling her wish - by offering prayers and pennies for the Missions and persuading others to do the same - Pauline planted the seed of the PROPAGATION OF THE FAITH, the way you, today, can reach to all in the Missions who are lonely in their hearts without Christ.

Send your help today... the way Pauline did!

Andpray that the Church, which has reaped so much from hergenerosity and vision, may soon honor this lay woman among the blessed. \

province of their congregation. The celebration took place at their provincial house in Dighton and culminated at a Eucharistic liturgy offered by His Excellency, Bishop Daniel A. Cronin.

Silver jubilee? But the sisters have been part of the life of Fall River for befter than 80 years!

So they have: it was in 1904 that the congregation agreed to build and operate a hospital in Fall River; the first sisters arrived in September, 1905; and Ste. Anne Hospital was solemnly blessed and dedicated by Bishop William Stang on Sunday, February 4, 1906. What changed in the sisters'status tojustify the jubilee celebration?

The Congregation of the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation was founded in France almost 300 years ago. It expanded during the 18th century and almost disappeared during the French Revolution, only to take a new life and grow steadily during the 19th century. This growth took place only in France until 1868, when the congregation accepted foundations . in Spain. In 1873, it spread to Colombia to the west and Iraq to the east. From then on, expansion outside France was rapid: between 1890 and 1905 houses were opened in Italy, England, Swizerland and, of course, the United States.

At that time, except for the sisters of Colombia, administration of the congregation was totally centralized: the general government in France was responsible for all the houses, for all the sisters and their mission.

But today the sisters are present in 27 countries, spread over four continents. Under such conditions, although unity of spirituality and of a central government are indispensable to the survival and the prosperity of the congregation, total administrative centralization is neither possible nor desirable.

Hence the division into provinces. each with an elected government responsible for the religious and missionary life of its members.

However, the unity of the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation throughout the world is ensured by general chapters, consisting of members elected by each province who in turn elect the central government, by meetings of provincial superiors, by the overall leadership of the central government and by the acceptance by each sister of a common rule.

The United States province is not the youngest, but with less than 100 members, it is one of the smallest provinces in the congregation. I~ is also the most widespread: from New Mexico to India.

Did the fact that they became members of a province change the life of the U.S. Dominican Sisters of the Presentation? It did not alter their personal religious life nor their professional and apostolic commitment; but each sister participates more actively 路in the affairs and life of the province than she did in those of the total congregation. Because the sisters are more aware than previously of the needs of those surrounding them and freer to allocate resources, their field of action has widened since erection ofthe U.S. province.

In 1961, their only mission was Ste. Anne Hospital. Today they have a novitiate in Dighton, and 12 communities from which they serve in a variety of ministries; including care of the sick and elderly, teaching, administration, parochial and social work.

In his homily at the jubilee celebration, Bishop Cronin urged the sisters to thank God for past blessings, to live the present fully and to look with hope into the future.

This they do.

From Fairhaven to Peru

By Pat McGowan The sound of pre-Fourth of July firecrackers made her jump, then smile apologetically.

"In Peru," said Sister Gail Fortin, SS.CC., "you would assume someone was being shot at."

The soft-spoken Fairhaven native, a Sacred Hearts Sister since 1964, has been in Peru since 1982.

To fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a missionary, she is on loan to the Peruvian province of her community, since the Pacific province, which comprises the United States, has no foreign missions at this time.

On a home visit, from which she returns to Peru today, she talked about her career as a religious, which started quietly with assignments as a director of religious education at St. Mary's parish, Fairhaven, and in New Jersey.

There followed formation work at her community's house in Mt. Rainier, Md., then a meeting with a Peruvian sister who spoke of the needs in Latin America.

The long-held dream blazed up, arrangements were made and in 1982, after a six-week crash course in Spanish, Sister Fortin found herself in a slum, euphemistically called a "young town," outside Arequipa, a city of nearly 200,000 in southern Peru. At the time the area had no running water and the precious liquid was sold by the bucket for cooking and drinking, she said. Now there is piped water, but installation of a sewage system is just beginning.

Sister Fortin and her companions were administrators of a priestless parish, counseling, teaching and conducting baptisms and funerals. "When we had a funeral," she said, "we placed the casket in the grave ourselves, then shoveled in the dirt."

Poverty came literally to the sisters' doorstep in the shape of an unending line of hungry people begging food. The experience, sharply contrasting with the "good life" of the United States, indelibly impressed Sister Fortin.

After five years, recognizing the need for more workers among the poor and wishing to put to use her experience in forming young sisters, she began work in Lima, the capital city of Peru, where since January she has been directing 15 young women in various stages of preparation for the religious life.

Sister Fortin notes that her task is difficult with regard to girls from slum areas. "We don't want to upgrade their lifestyle in such a way that they don't want to return to their roots," she explained, noting that a possible solution to the problem might be to keep postulants in their native surroundings for at least their first two years of formation.

In addition to working with the young recruits, she assists in a Lima youth center which specializes in peer counseling.

She observed that many young people stay in school "for years and years," simply because they cannot find jobs. Alcoholism is a tremendous problem among youth, but drugs are not, "mainly because of lack of money."

The Peruvian province, she said, used to operate, an upper-class school but pulled out of it in the early 1980s when parents rebuffed the sisters' desire to enroll poor as well as rich children.

In general, she said, faith is not well developed among Peruvians, despite enormous popular devotion to native saints Rose de Lima and Martin de Porres. "People are willing to change religions," she said.

Sister Fortin sees base communities, small groups in which people study the Bible and attempt to apply its principles to situations of poverty and injustice, as a means of strengthening faith. She notes, however, that while frequently found in poor communities, they are less well received among the middle and upper classes.

But despite difficulties, Sister Fortin "really loves my work."

Asked if her family worried about her wellbeing, she acknowledged that, like all parents, Henry and Dorothy Fortin of St. Joseph's parish, Fairhaven, would like her closer to home. "But they want their children to be happy, wherever they are," she said.

The eldest of five, but at 41 the second youngest member of her community, both in North America and Peru, she has three siblings in Fairhaven and one in Boston.

The bishop's privilege Continued from Page One "He wants to come down. That's what's really nice."

As the bishop, Msgr. Oliveira and Father Burns drove in a convertible to the wharf to board the "Gale," they were accompanied by honor guards fr.om the Provincetown Coast Guard station and Bishop Feehan Assembly of the Knights of Columbus.

Knight Ernest Travis, 86, has . never missed a blessing.

The bishop's car, greeted by waves and smiles from hundreds of townspeople and tourists lining the narrow, treelined streets of the colorful community, was followed by the fishermen and an open cart carrying local musicians.

Walking with his contemporaries, fisherman Victor Pacellini reflected upon the bishop's homily.

"The church service itself is the main thing," he said. "It carries you through the season."

Bishop Cronin stopped the parade at one point to greet Nellie T. Tarves, 101, who eagerly awaited him on her front porch.

They exchanged a few words and posed for photos. Like her younger friend, Mrs. Tarves, a fisherman's widow and 19'86 Marian Medal recipient, never stopped smiling during what has become a traditional visit. " 'Bye, Nellie, see you nex~ year!"

the bishop called as the parade resumed. "I'll be here," Mrs. Tarves assured him.

Other hundreds were gathered on the wharf to see the bishop board the "Gale." While the prelate was interviewed by Cape Cod cable television, Father Burns shared his thoughts about his parishioners with The Anchor.

The pastor said that Provincetown's Portuguese fishermen are "very devout and faith-filled men, as they have to be, going out on the sea every day, risking their lives at the mercy of nature."

Parish priest at St. Peter's since 1978 and enjoying his role as the bishop's host for the 10th time, Father Burns remembered a quote from the Old Testament book of Lamentations which he thought characterized the fishing community's trust in God: "The favors of the Lord are not exhausted. They are renewed each morning."

On~e anchored in the harbor, Captam and Mrs. Vasques tossed a wreath off their boat. Gail Vasques said the wreath honored those lost at sea.

"Last year my husband was hurt [a bad burn) on the boat," she said, "and we missed the blessing. We're thankful that he's here this year."

Explaining that her husband has worked the sea since his teens,

Mrs. Vasques noted that his love for fishing keeps him in the business, despite its dangers and economic ups and downs.

"There's something special about being out on the water," she said.

After a Coast Guard demonstration of at-sea lifesaving techniques, the bishop blessed boats by the hundreds. The "Charlotte G" of Provincetown and Truro's "Nancy B" were filled with passengers who seemed to be competing in enthusiasm contests as they lustily applauded after receiving the bishop's blessing.

One pleasure craft with several young men aboard roared off with its stern towards the bishop after he blessed it. The pilot wanted to show off its n~me: "Thank you, Jesus."

Bishop Cronin told The Anchor that he has come to feel a part of the Provincetown community.

"It's something that I became immediately attached to," he said of the blessing. "I just like the fishing fleet and the fishermen and the fact that Christ chose fishermen as his apostles."

The tradition of the blessing was begun in 1948 by the late Msgr.

John A. Silvia, then St. Peter's pastor. Parishioners instrumental in organizing the first blessings included Arthur Reis Sr., Frank Motta, Louis Rivers, Anthony Jackett and Arthur B. Silvia.

DARTMOUTH STREET, NEW BEDFORD, MA

People frequently ask how I got involved in Catholic Pentecostalism. I had very little to do with that decision because God's grace just moved me into this Renewal. It· happened this way.

On the Friday after Easter, 1970, another priest and I were going out to dinner when he suggested that we stop at the newly formed Pentecostal prayer group at St. Boniface Church. All of us had heard rumors about people praying in tongues but had never experienced it. We arrived somewhat late for the meeting and· found ourselves attending the regular First Friday Mass sponsored by the prayer group. About 50 people attended.

I didn't experience anything extraordinary that night, probably because when people with special needs were invited to come up for prayers, I stayed in my pew.

Afterwards, Brother'Pancratius, C.SS.R., talked to both of us, gave us a book on Catholic Pentecostalism and urged us to return on another Friday when we could experience the charismatic prayer meeting.

I was impressed by 50 people coming to an inner-city church each week for a prayer meeting, but I didn't feel any great call to return. However, three events happened within the next year that changed all of that.

First, my sister-in-law got involved with another prayer group in her area. Secondly, I began to experience a lack of effectiveness in my own ministry. Let me explain.

One of my parttime works in my

first assignment was the campus ministry at West Chester State University. I enjoyed those two years and felt that I had helped many young people in significant ways.

Because of that experience, I was asked in 1967 to assume the campus ministry at Jefferson University. I plunged into that work with as much zeal and energy as I had five years earlier. However, much had changed. The results weren't there. The discouragement built up. The lowest point came on the Saturday before Palm Sunday, 1970. As I drove my car towards the university, I couldn't overcome the feelings of uselessness within.

Finally, I made a U-turn and went back to my residence.

MSGR. WALSH

As I arrived there, I cried put to God that all I wanted to be was a priest, but that something had to happen. That was the third event.

The very next day, Palm Sunday, my sister-in-law began to talk to me about the Renewal. She had no idea of my prayer the day before, but as she spoke I knew that this was the answer.

All the lights went on. I began to sing in my heart, "This is it," e"en though I didn't know anything about Pentecostalism. Right then and there, I decided to return to St. Boniface.

Since the next Friday was Good Friday, my return had to be delayed one week. So, on the Friday after Easter, 1971, I was on the phone to Brother Pancratius asking him the time of the meeting.

After answering my question, he asked one of his own: "Weren't you here about a year ago?" "No, I think it was more like six months."

But after I hung up I began to think about when I had been there.

It was one year to the day.

As I parked my car outside St. Boniface, all I could think of was that one year ago this meant nothing to me. Now I was returning on my own. This time, however, Catholic Pentecostalism meant everything, and I didn't even know what it was all about!

I stood before the church door and said within myself, "Everything that I am and will be, my whole life and my whole eternity are tied up with what is behind that door, and I don't even know what this is all about."

By Joseph Motta Karine Maalouf will be taking the next two years "one day at a time."

The 24-year-old, a member of St. Anthony of the Desert Maronite parish, Fall River, has enlisted in the Peace Corps for a two-year assignment as an Agroforestry Extension Agent. She will work in the pilot phase of a rural development project with USAID and AFRICARE in the Central African Republic, teaching African farmers the use of trees to prevent soil erosion and how to establish and maintain tree nurseries.

A 1986 graduate of Hampshire College, Amherst, where she earned a bachelor's degree in ecology and also studied wor;nen's health care, Ms. Maalouf is now in the midst of a 12-week training program in Senegal, western Africa.

"When I got out of college I graduated with a scientific degree," she said, "and ultimately you can .gear it to helping people."

But she "really wants to be involved with serving people" immediately and knew that the Peace Corps was where she could put her education to good use.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., July 10, 1987

135 new saints VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II has approved the canonization of 135 people, including an Italian doctor who worked among the poor of Naples.

On Oct. 25, the pope plans to canonize Dr. Giuseppe Moscati, a physician famous for his research in nutrition, who practiced in the crowded slums of Naples in the early part ofthis century. The port city was ravaged by disease and malnutrition, and Moscati, known as "the apostle in the white gown," ministered to its poor inhabitants until his death in 1927.

On Oct. 18, the pope will canonize Lorenzo Ruiz, a Filipino lay man, and 15 others who died during 17th-century persecutions in Nagasaki, Japan.

Church historians estimate that some 4,000 Catholics died for the faith during evangelization in Japan. The pope beatified the group of 16 martyrs during a 1981 visit to the Pacific region.

In June 1988, the pope will declare as saints 117 Vietnamese martyrs, victims of 18th- and 19thcentury religious persecutions in the country's kingdoms. Among them was Father Jean Theophane Venard, a young member of the Paris Foreign Mission Society who in 1854 traveled secretly to Tonkin, a center of anti-Christian sentiment. Seven years later he was captured and beheaded.

A similar fate befell many others in the group, while some died in prison from malnutrition or torture.

The Vatican also announced that the pope has approved the sainthood cause of 15th-century Sister Eustochio Calafato, who founded a convent in Sicily.

Carrot of legalization beyond reach of many aliens WASHINGTON (NC) - The federal government is dangling a carrot before illegal aliens but only permitting a few to bite, contend church officials.

Immigration and Naturalization Service and its overly restrictive policies deserve the blame for the lower-than-e~pected turnout of legalization applicants, they say.

Fear of family separation, an almost non-existent public education program and lack of INScertified physicians to perform required medical exams are keeping qualified immigrants from applying, maintains Gilbert Paul Carrasco, director of immigration services for the U.S. Catholic Conference's Migration and Refugee Services.

Significant numbers of skeptical immigrants are "holding back" out of fear their families will be split up when some membersqualify and others do not, said Carrasco.

The problem, he and others argue, is that while INS Commissioner Alan Nelson has made "vague, positive statements" suggesting families not be divided, Nelson has issued no official directive on the subject.

Immigrants who have spent their lives viewing INS as the enemy

"need some pretty concrete assurance" that their family lives will not be disrupted, Carrasco said.

Father Ronald Marino of Brooklyn, N.Y., tells the story of trying in vain to convince an Italian-born New York state resident to apply for amnesty even though his wife and children do not qualify.

Like other immigrants, his client expressed fears that one day his wife and children would be caught and deported. "To be honest, I .don't blame him for not applying," said Father Marino, legalization director for the Diocese of Brooklyn.

Immigrants, he said, don't know the law and its safeguards because' INS hasn't publicized them as law requires.

"They only know their past experience with the government. Why should they believe that all of a sudden something wonderful is happening to them?" Father Marino asks.

The 1986 immigration law allows aliens who have resided illegally in the United States since before Jan. I, 1982, to apply for legalization during a one-year period that began May 5.

As of June 17, INS had received

only 133,879 applications from aliens seeking legalization nationwide, said Verne Jervis, INS spokesman. At a congressional hearing June I, Rep. Robert Garcia, D-N.Y., called the "miniscule number" of people coming forward "absolutely disgraceful."

In an attempt to remedy the situation, Sen. Alan Cranston, D.Calif., is calling for a uniform, national policy to prevent family separation.

In discussions with Los Angeles Archbishop Rober M. Mahony, the senator learned an estimated 30 percent of preregistered amnesty applicants in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles have raised concerns about the family unification issue, said Marian Rodriguez, associate legislative assistant to Cranston.

Cranston has proposed a nonbinding resolution urging INS not to deport family members who fail to qualify for legalization. The resolution is currently in committee.

After meeting with INS officials to discuss his concerns, the assistant Senate majority leader has reason to think the federal agency can be persuaded to push through the hoped-for policy change.

"INS is in a precarious position because people are not coming forward,"contends Ms. Rodriguez.

Few applicants mean few application payments, she points out, and INS has been counting on legalization fees to finance the entire legalization process.

Ironically, a "liberalization" of its policies may be the agency's only solution, she said.

At a news conference April 30, Nelson said a family may be split up in a case in which one spouse qualifies, but the other arrived in the United States after the 1982 cutoff date. "Clearly that spouse would not qualify," he said.

He added that "Congress clearly set the standard" tbat the eligibility decision be determined on a person-by-person, rather than on a family basis.

Nelson said INS is conducting a "What was intended as a humane law could be a cruel instrument of comprehensive public education family suffering unless it is admin- program on the immigration law istered with common sense and that includes TV commercials in humanity," Cranston told his fel- Spanish and English advertising the advantages of applying for low senators in May.

legalization.

While INS may be forced to address the family unification issue, USCC efforts to convince the federal agency there is an acute shortage of physicians to perform medical examinations required for legalization applicants have gone unheeded.

In East Texas, Carrasco said, there are no government-certified physicians. In Illinois, "if one lives in Joliet or Peoria, one has to go all the way to Chicago for a medical exam," he said.

Making a plea for Catholic physicians to apply for certification, Carrasco said any physician with four years of practice can qualify.

The reason more haven't, he said, is that INS has been lax in informing physicilj.ns of the certification process.

If the congressional promise of legalization is to amount to more than a carrot dangling beyond aliens' reach, changes in INS policy must be made in short order, church workers say.

"Right now the door is open a crack, but very quickly June (1988) will be upon us and the doors will be shut," summed up Hernan Gonzalez, director of the Division of Christian Services in the Diocese of Brownsville, Texas.

What's on your mind?

Q. What should you do if you feel your parents treat you unfairly or favor your brothers and sisters, for example if you are the oldest having the most restrictions on you? (Oregon) A. As soon as you have the time and the opportunity, take a pencil and paper, go to a quiet place ~nd write down five or more speCIfic instances -of your parents.treating you in an unfair way.

There must be no doubt about the unfairness; it must be there without drawing on your imagination. Have a debate with yourself about whether there might be a reasonable explanation for what seems to you to be unfairness.

When you are well satisfied that you have a number of concrete instances of unfairness, try to approach your parents at a time when your brothers and sisters are Dot around and when your parents are not tired, hungry or irritable.

in the song, falling in love has led to an emotional and physical "rush," sexual adventure and the eventual disillusionment of find~ ing nothing permanent. The per~ son senses that real love offers much more than these experiences.

His description of past rela~ tionships shows that he was primarily interested in getting what he needed for himself. Real love is quite different. It begins with genuine respect and giving to another. While attaining emotional and sexual intimacy are rewarding aspects of a marriage relationship, they are not the basis for a lasting love.

Rather, the heart of love flows from a word not mentioned in the song - commitment. When you really love another, you are committed to this person's welfare in whatever ways possible.

When' you are committed to a relationship, you are willing to face both the ups and downs of loving someone and also will try to find the best for each other through the relationship. . Making such a commitment is an adult choice. One can care about another at any age. Yet the type of relationship described in the song is best attempted by two adults who can manage the dayto-day joys and challenges of 'marriage. Such a decision implies the choice to keep working at a relationship {lnd at times a willingness to put another's needs ahead of one's own.

Romantic love includes many of the experiences that the song mentions. However, when trying to answer the question, "Is this real love?" look for more commitment and other-centeredness than the song describes.

Students fight childhood cancer, remember deceased teacher Students at St. James-St. John School, New Bedford, recently participated in a mathathon to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis.

They solved math problems geared to their age groups after logging pledges from family and friends, then collected funds based upon their percentage of correct answers.

The over 40 youngsters in grades three through eight who shared in the project raised over $1600 for the hospital, according to Joanne Correia, a fourth and fifth grade teacher. The funds went to Tennessee in memory of Claudia Manning, a 28-year-old St. James parishioner and St. James-St. John teacher who died from leukemia in April.

Mrs. Correia said that Miss Manning had been ill for four of the five years she was a parttime science teacher at St. James-St. John.

An alumna of St. James-St. John, North Dartmouth's Bishop Stang High School and Providence College, Miss Manning earned a master's degree from Bridgewater State College shortly before her death. "She was really a remarkable person," Mrs. Correia said.

"She was sick when she was going back and forth to Bridgewater.

"She was a good example to other people," Mrs. Correia said.

"She brought something special to every class she taught and never complained [about her physical pain].

"She really was a lesson to everybody."

Miss Manning died shortly before the children completed the mathathon.

"She always had a nice word to say," said Tracey Marks, a student of Miss Manning who earned over $70 for St. Jude's.

"I had no problem getting pledges as soon as I said what it was for," said seventh-grader Elizabeth Pereira. The 13-year-old raised over $30 with her answers. Also a student of Miss Manning, she remembers her as "an excellent teacher.

She was very understanding and she helped you a lot."

Student Victoria Barros said that when she watched the filmstrip that St. ·Jude's sent to introduce the math program, she "really felt sad and wanted to do something to help." . The strip, she 'said, showed victims of childhood cancer.

"I hope they'l spend the money to find new medicines for the children:' "I felt sorry for the kids who didn't have a good life," said fifth grade student Katherine Hendricks.

"I decided right there to participate."

Students John Harrington and Jason Michaud each collected over $100. For their efforts they received tote bags from the hospital, and, like all participants who netted, $25 or more, mathathon T-shirts.

John, a fourth grader, said he "thought it was sad to see all the kids with cancer." He approached his family and friends for pledges, he said, and even brought his signup sheet to Little League practice.

Miss Mary E. Mello, the school's principal, said she thinks the mathathon "helped keep Miss Manning alive with the students.

"In addition to helping St. Jude's," she said, "it presents math to them in a different way."
