St. Anne's Hospital

Carrying on, Christ's healing mission

By Pat McGowan "The Dominican Sisters of the Presentation founded St. Anne's Hospital Jin 1906 to carry on Christ's healing mission and to manifest his mercy and compas sion." That declaration, lettered bold l~' on the wall of St. Anne's new entrance lobby, beautifU'I'ly en capsulates what the Fall River hospital is all about, as does the slogan "A better St. Anne's a better Fall River." The years since 1906 and those that lie ahead will be celebrated and saluted on Thursday, Dec. 2,

when Bishop Daniel A. Cronin will be principa,l celebrant at a 4:30 p.m. Mass and Benediction service in the hospital chapel. The liturgies will mark com pletion and dedication of an $8 million renovation and recon struction project at St. Anne's. Of that amount $1.8 million was raised in a successful '75th anni versary community fundraising campaign begun in 1980. The remainder was borrowed and will be amortized in future rates. What did $8 million buy? Wrapped up 'in f~esh paint and

sparkling trim, the package in cluded renovation of the former third filoor maternity suite into a 33-bed patient area, demolition of the original hospital building and installation and landscaping of a new parking area. An addition to the north side of the hospital has expanded the former emergency room facilities and added a new short term stay suite, employee health offices and renovated and expanded pediatric accommodations. An addition to the hospital entry, combining renovation and new construction, includes a

new lobby and communications center, an oncology clinic and cardiac testing and radiology areas.

The block of Oliver Street that used to divide St. Anne's from Clemence Hall, its former nurses' residence, now used for offices, has been closed off by the ser vice building: On the South Main Street side, the street will afford additional parking area, whHe on the Forest Street side it will be 'landscaped and pro-' vide a warm weather lunch area for employees.

Dietary services, housekeep ing, maintenance and a supply, processing and distribution ceri ter are housed in a new service building; whHe a west addition to the service building connects the main hospital to the chapel. Included in the addition are the A visit to St. Anne's last week pharmacy and physical therapy left a kaleidoscopic impression departments and various admin istrative offices.

The bishops shepherd the church

Refiectlons on last week's Washington meeting of the U.S. bishops as observed and reported by Anchor Editor Father Jolm F.

Moore. The preparations seemed end less. Lighting technicians, tele vision cameramen and press per sonnel in record numbers sV{elled the population of the assembly room. For a very important mo ment in history, the eyes and ears of ttte media focused upon the Catholic bishops of the Uni-

ted States at their faU meeting in Washington. The bishops came together to discuss many issues pertinent to the shepherding of the church in this country but one issue, one item drew the attention of the world. The bishops were to re flect upon one of the most press ing issues of our time, nuclear war. All other items before them were routinely handled. liturgi cal items ranging from a revised

rite for the anointing of the sick to a proposed "resource book" of prayers were voted upon. Mat ters such as a pastoral letter on campus ministry, the new Cath olic Telecommunications Net work of America (for which Bishop Daniel A. Cronin became a board member) and house bud getary reports were handled with dispatch 'in order to clear the way for the feature event, the bishops; views on the lOS-page draft document entitled The

media presence in Washington. Challenge of Peace: God's Prom For some it would seem that ise and Our Response. From the media viewpoint the taking a stance on these issues bishops' reply to this challenge would be divisive. Indeed, some was important. If accepted, the media personnel, seeking sensa tionalism, portrayed the assembly document would place the bish ops in direct opposition to the of bishops as divided lind frag~ mented. present administration.

the living word

themoorin~ A Renewed Spirit "

In his address last week to the bishops assembled in Washington, the Apostolic Delegate in the United States made open reference to the 'renewed spirit of the hierarchy as a result of what he termed the "Collegeville experience." He referred, of course, to' the unique event early this summer at S1. John's University, Collegeville, Minn., that brought the bishops of the country together not for a mere business meeting but for 10 days of prayer and reflection. It is evident that something very special happened at Collegeville~ Not only did the bishops unanimously state that their "retreat" was a very important moment in their lives but also that it helped them take a uniquely spiritual look at themselves and their role in the American church. -This was evidenced in their discussion on all agenda matt¢rs at their fall meeting but e~pecially in their reflections on war and peace. The openness of discussion, the lack of pomp and circumstance, the willingness to dialogue and even debate, the articulation of position and the general atmosphere of . brotherhood that prevailed last week among the' bishops bode very well for future days in our church. Many see the church at a very important crossroads 'in this country. Issues once definitively assigned to par ticular groups now intermingle and concern alL Life issues, DR. FREDERICK J.

Thus it is with the Catholic bishops of the world. Events have thrust them into the spotlight as the moral He made them wEllcome and talked to them about the kingdom of God; and fibre of society has been attacked_ by the scissors of its cured t'hose who were in need of healing.' Luke 9: 11 sickest elements. What once were considered merely political problems now involve all'concerned and aware people in our shrinking ~W~

The voice of the bishops on the question of war and peace again shows the world, that the concept 'of pastoral ministry cannot be separated from people and the real world in which they live. The bishops are basically declaring that _they will face issues, concerns and problems involving the reality of moral living. They are not afraid o'penly to discuss . issues calling forth varied opinions. This stance, as demonstrated at the Washington meet ing, seems to have taken the media by surprise. Never in such numbers had the press or television covered a bishops' meeting. They were surprised to witness a group of religious leaders involved in what could be considered controversy without contention, debate without dispute and contest without conflict. The fraternity and frankness with which the bishops shared varied opinions and options was some what startling and indeed unexpected. The ,media, especially its secular representatives, had been accustomed to closed-door discussions and decisions. Only in recent times have the print and television media, even thos~ of the church itself, been invited to witness the bishops' meetings. . Now all that has changed for the better., Because of

renewed commitment to pastoral ministry, many structures

that had looked unfavorably on open sharing of ideas on

,vital national and church issues have fortunately become. but memories. . May we pray for our bish<?ps as they se~rch fof ways

and means to strengthen their pastoral role in the church.

They deserve our support and prayers as they guide us on

the course of care and concern.

Bishops; stand fast

By Mary McGrory If Henry II's provocative la ment about Thomas a Beeket "Who will rid me of this trouble some priest?" were in the plural, it might descri~e Ronald, Rea gan's attitude toward the Cath olic bishops who met in confer ence last week in Washington. Various members of the ad ministration have excoriated the clergy for meddling in matters of strategy, and have been tell ing them for almost a year that the future of mankind is none of their business. The bishops have, nonetheless, gone forward. with the composition of a letter warn ing of the consequences of the arms race and plan to issue it next May. The bishops are headed straight for declaring that nu clear war is immoral. To Ronald Reagan, they have blundered in to heresy. They are for a nuclear freeze. . The president had already paid his disrespects' to advocates of the freeze. He may not have had the bishops in mind at his press conference when he once again voiced his opinion that such peo ple, whether they know it 01' not, are doing the work of the Krem lin. That did not deter the bishc;>ps in their deliberations at the Capi tal Hilton Hotel. In fact, the White House offensive has had a contrary effect. Catholic priests are, by d,~finition and quite sev ere training on the matter, team piayers. Now a majority, unac customed alt'hough they may be

Trees and shrubs were being. planted at the edge of the park ir.g lot, while smells· o,f fresh paint and new carpeting per· vaded the hospital . interior. Bright green chairs and deeper. toned carpeting sparked the lob· 'by, and oheerful yellow. and pumpkin shades were chosen for many waHs. Practical touches in patients' rooms include wall clocks and greeting card holders, the latter eliminating makeshift <:Iothes· line effects or walls marred with traces. of cellophane tape. The 'hospital cafeteria, pro· moted to the second floor from its former ground flooi.location, fea·~ures enormous windows, bright red chairs with bouncy seats and a' choice of snacks or fuH meals. Nurses showed off the -busiest emergency area in the city where new construction includes an orthopedic room, examilrlation cubicles and a quiet family room where amc;ious relatives can meet with pastoral care ministE~rs. The beloved old hospital build ing wiIl be recalled by the marble • engraved inscriiptiori "L'Hopital Ste. Anne," that sur mounted' its sidewalk entrance 0'0 Middle Street. The memento wiH be displayed in the new lobby. Also from the past is the marble topping a brick wall be side the exterior steps to St. Anne's chapel. The chapel, newly painted and

carpeted, will retain its dedica· tory tablet· honoring Mother Pierre Marie, St. Anne's admin· istrator for. 22 years. before her death in 1970. An illuminated stained glass wi!ldow marks its' entrance. In an example of hoHstic med· icine, the cardiac testing room features . a huge mural of a woodland path. Persons taking a stress test face the mural and, in effect, walk through the woods while being checked. The picture has a nota'bly soothing effect, commented Mark Koste· gan, St. Anne's director of de· velopment and public relations. Soon appropriate music will con tribute its share to the room's calming effect, he added.

Pulling together sterilization sta tions formerly scattered through· out St. Anne's, it consists of a "contamination" area which reo ceives ·used instruments, linens and other items, and puts them through a $60,000 steam steril izer from which they emerge into a "olean room" to be pack aged for reuse. A separate gas sterilizer is used for plastic and other items that would be dam· . aged by steam. Also handled by the depart ment are single-use med;ical sup plies, mai'ntained by category

and ready for instant delivery on request. Hospital history • St. Anne's beginnings w~re a far ~ry from its present .status as one of the major medical fa cilities in southeastern New England. Opened in 1906, the original building cost $100,000 and accommodated 44 patients. Today, with completion of the present $8 million project, the hospital has 182 beds. It houses the area's tertiary care program for cancer and offers a complete range of medical and surgical services. Its community service programs include Lifeline for drug abusers, the Birthright pro· gram for unwed mothers, a chHd abuse outreach service, the Catholic Apostolate for the Deaf and natural family planning courses. A continuing education program for health professionals brings to the area experts in every field of medicine. The hospital's pastoral care department, headed by Father Edmund J. Fitzgerald, who is also Diocesan Director of Pas· toral Care for the Sick, offers around the clock support to pa tients and their families, as well as providing ongoing spiritual counsel to the doctors, nurses and other workers associated with St. Anne's.

A charter member of Fall River Council 86 at its dnstitution on Jan. 21, 1894, Gorman quicldy rose to council leadership, then went on to serve as a Massachu setts Distriot Deputy between 1897 and 1900. His qualities caused the Su preme Council at New Haven to recruit Gorman as its national ·organizer. James Gorman insti tuted Topeka 534 on 9/9/00 and Denver 539 on 11/17/00. He went on to develop new councils in CaUfornia, Oregon, Montana and Washington dn addition to Kansas and Colorado.

THE PREDATORS The predator at our door was' about 30, a dark, lanlt, straight-haired, bleached blond, bitter-faced woman. Her quarry, 17-year-old Richie, was safe inside. "I want him," she raged. "He agreed to work for me:' Our security people were not polite. "He doesn't want to go with you." one said curtly. The bitter-faced woman turn ed to leave. malevolence incarnate. . 'Richie, a really good kid, had arrived ~t UNDER 21 a few days earlier begging food and Pampers for his 18-month old baby-abandoned by her junkie mother and being cared for by him in a cheap Times Square hotel. The room rent was peing paid by six prostitutes who had taken pity on the homeless and incompetent young father. "Jaime's hungry," Richie said. "She doesn't eat too often. I haven't either:' We quickly provided Pampers for the baby and food for both. "We can't go home," he told us. "My stepfather doesn't want anything to do with us. We've been on the street for about a year, usually with some friends. I rip people off to get money to feed her. Sometimes I have to hustle johns." The beautiful baby squirmed in his arms. "She's a good baby: she doesn't cry at all when I hold her...:' Richie and Jaime stayed on with us at UNDER 21, and our staff began the difficult and sensitive process of trying to help a young street kid get his life back in order. Richie's brief history-a runaway at 14-gave us an all too-familiar glimpse into that netherworl.d of Times Square: the smoking hell beneath the bright lights and glitter and crowds. . "I didn't like ripping people off," he said. "I never hurt anybody. I didn't like hustling johns either. Last month this woman offered me $500 to, to ...." (he flushed and dropped his head) "to have sex with her on stage in front of a lot of people. It's pretty bad you have to look happy when y~u do it. At least you can't see the customers though-the lights are too bright. But I'm afraid of her," Richie· said. "She wants Ine to work for her some more." . There are acouple hundred other kids who really needed us ti,is week: Laurie, 13-a classic middle-class runaway from a Father Bruce Ritter, OFM Can v;, ;s the fOUf.tier and President of Covenant House/UNDER 21, which operates crisis centers for homeless and runaway boys and girls all over the country.

. classic middle-class family-was picked off by a Times Square pimp last week and raped and brutalized before finally being put out on the street to make some money. Early Monday morning, Laurie had the wit and the courage to escape and come to UNDER 21. . Beth, originally from Houston, came in last night, tired,

cynical, desperate-older inside her mind and heart than

any of us will ever get. She's 17 now, has been aprostitute

since 15, You might say she came by it naturally. You see,

her mother-a prostitute-was killed by her pimp. (The ap

ple doesn't fall far from the tree,)

"Seventeen-year-old Richie arrived at UNDER 21 begging food and Pampers for his 18 month-old baby. " Sometimes people write me very concerned about the traces of anger or sadness that occasionally appear in my talks and in my letters. Although I try pretty hard to control these feelings, I'm not always successful. It's their faces. Kid's faces are supposed to be happy and open and excit.ed and alive. Their eyes should be filled with trust and 111 nocence. My kids' faces are worn and cold: their eyes filled with fear. Richie and Laurie and Beth know the chances are downright excellent that they will not make it. I mean th~y will die. Quite young, deformed' and made ugly by an 111 dustry that caters to our pleasures. Society (that's us) has been unable-or unwilling-to protect these kids or punish their exploiters. Meanwhile, quite literally outside our doors roam-and wait-t.he predators, the pimps and a bitter-faced woman.

"He knows the chances are excellent that he will not make it-he will die. " It's very hard to be true to the dangers and sUff~ring ~,y kids face every day and always be upbeat. Sometm~es I.t s only the certain conviction that God loves these kids 111 finitely more than we do-even when they stand condemn ed by their own hearts-that makes it possible for me to meet tomorrow and next week and next month the hl,ln dreds of other kids who will come to our UNDER 21 Centers.. And sometimes a letter from a friend on my mailing list mak'es me feel really great-like thi,s one from a mother in Ohio: October 14th Dear Father Bruce, . ,I just wanted you to know that the lettersyOiJ send not

only elicit a contribution from us, but have a profound

effect on our family life. We have a 16-year-old boy, the

youngest of six, who definitely marches to his own drum.

He has been reading your letter's ever since you preached

at our Church a year or so ago. He asks to see the lette~s

and, I think, sees himself reflected in many of the situations

you describe. His rebellions and experiments are temper

ing and he is developing into a very nice young man,

although frequently headstrong, Your letters have made

him realize, I think, that running from your problems never

solves them; and that, although we may not be perfect, he

does have a very intact, loving home, '

Thanks for all your help. We pray God will give you the

eoergy and fortitude to continue your ministry.

Cordially

What a great letter! Boy, I needed th~t. The only reason these kids have any chance at all is because our UNDER 21 Centers are here when they need a place to come, to run to-a place where they can be safe from the pimps and predators and johns. They're good kids. You shouldn't think they're not. It would be wro~g for you to think they're not good kids. Most of them are Simply trying to survive in a world totally hostile to kids. We are here for them because of you. Almost all of the money we need to help these kids comes from people like yourself who Care about children. As winter approaches we need your prayers. and financial help more than ever. Please pray for us, we pray for you. . ~~-------~-----~---~---~ These Kids do need a place to come to, to run to-a I

Pope, plans

Canada visit

OTTAWA (NC) - Pope John Paul II will visit Canada in 1984, the Canadian Conference of Cath olic Bishops has announced. No details have' been set. According to Bonnie Brennan, CCCB information officer, the invitation was first extended to the pope in 1979, and the bishops had been awaiting word from the pope since then. "We haven't the same kind of urgency (for a papal trip) as other countries," such as Po land with its internal upheaval or Great Britain and Argentina, which went to war over the Falk land Islands, she said. She added that the Canadian government has promised its full cooperation for a papal visit. "It' is our hope he'll be able to stay with us long enough to visit all regions of the countFy," she said. Canada has a population of about 25 million, of which about 46 percent are Catholic. At 3.8 million square miles, it is the second largest nation in the world in land size and a papal trip to "all regions" would en tail traveling aCross North Am erica from the Maritime pro vinces to the West Coast. A number of Catholic shrines or major churches are located in Quebec, the ,French-sp'eaking province which has a large Cath olic population.

Literary drive SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic eNC) - The Dominican Bishops' Conference ,said it will cooperate with the government in a nationwide literacy cam paign aimed at teaching more than 200,000 adults and teen agres how to read and write. About 66 percent of Dominicans over 12 are illiterate. Some 300 Catholic· schools, eight diocesan communications offices and 200 parishes are being pressed into the campaign, said Auxiliary Bishop Juan Felix Pepen of Santo Domingo.
