Bishops to Ordain.

Permanent Deacons

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Dec. 3, 1970

Concern for All" Portrays

ROME (NC)-Italy's bishops' conference has decided to ordain permanent deacons. The decision, taken at a five-day general assembly by a vote of 214 to 5, must' be approved by the Holy See before taking effect.

Bishop Luigi Bettazzi of Ivrea, a member of the commission that drafted the project, said the deacons would work in 1t1.!ly's most isolated regions, "but we have been thinking especially of the outskirts of the big cities."

Either married men or unmarried men pledged to remain single would be ordained as permanent deacons.

Bishop Bettazzi told the na· tional Catholic daily, Avvenire, that he expected the great majority of deacons to be drawn from among married men. Hundreds of Italian men have already asked to .become deacons, he said.

STANDISH (NC) - A priest warned here in Maine that unless something is done about the plight of the million and a half Palestinian refugees and the power alignment of the Middle East, a catastrophe would result. . "The' situation in the Middle East is so explosive it could invOlvEh.all of us in World War III," Msgr. John G. Nolan, na· tional secretary of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association· and president of the Pontifical Mission for Palestine, said at St. Joseph's College here.

Msgr. .Nolan expressed his concern and grief o,n his return from a recent visit to Amman.

He said he sees one way to defuse the Middle East crisis: "Put a wrench in a man's hand -not a gun." He was referring to the Palestinian refugees from whose ranks have come the commandos who want to reclaim their former homeland.

"Putting a wrench in a man's hand, giving him a job, means a better life. Putting a gun in his hand does not. Even a job won't stop the refugees from believing that they've been defrauded of their birthright - but they are going to be a lot less concerned with joining the guerilla or liberalization movement," Msgr.

Nolan maintained.

Ordiml@ti@tfB Most Rev. James L. Connolly will ordain Rev. Mr. Marc C. Bergeron, Rev. Mr. Robert C. Donov~n and Rev. Mr. Raymond P. Monty to the priesthood on Saturday afternoon at 2 in St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River.

According to directions received from the Holy See, priests who participate in ceremoniessuch as pontificals and ordinations and Masses - are to be dressed in their choir dress.

Those participating in ordinations are asked to wear a stole.

Ca rd ina IDea rden Urges Welfare Service Reform DETROIT (NC)-Cardinal John Dearden, urging reform of Michigan's welfare services, urged here that clothing allowances be made immediately for poor children facing the winter months, "Their misery cannot wait," he said.

The cardinal-archbishop of Detroit said the state's welfare system should be modernized because it "is out of joint with the times." He said the policies should be changed to conform to the realities, not myths, about poverty. .

Cardinal Dearden has been joined by bishops of Michigan's four other Catholic dioceses in a statewide welfare reform campaign being waged by church and civic groups.

Goal of the effort is to provide a guaranteed income for the poor, particularly welfare recipients.

Lutherans, he stated flatly, "cannot accept 'a return to Rome', theology. Cat\,!olics will have to come. to face the reality that other· Christian communities in the world exist and are real and have the same claim to catholicity as the Catholic Church has."

The Catholic Church, prepared by the events of Vatican II, Bishop, Knutson said, is on the wai to this recognition. When it is achieved, he stated, "then the way is made open for a reunion."

Cites Facts Cardinal Dearden said reforms could be accomplished if "welfare myths in the public mind are exploded by hard facts."

Citing statistics, the cardinal noted that the assistance welfare families receive does not enable them to climb above the government's poverty income level; that many recipients are children, aged and disabled who cannot work; that investigations show that recipients are not cheaters; and that whites, not ,blacks, make up 70 per cent of the state's welfare rolls.

"These facts," Cardinal Dearden said, "show clearly that not only are the poor victimized for generation after generation by our old-fashioned ideas but so is society in general, and particularly the taxpayer. It would not only be charitable, but in the long run, economic to do what is right ,in view of 1970 conditions."

LEADER IN CHRISTIAN UNITY MOVEMENT: Bishop Connolly greets the late Augustin Cardinal ijea, right, head of the Vatican Secretariat 'for Promoting Christian Unity in March, 1963 at Boston College when the Vatican official received an honorary degree. Viewing the welcoming was Rev. John V. O'Connor, S.J., then provincial of the Jesuits in the New England Province.

There has been a mushrooming of programs of social welfare and concern, of educating, for stronger family life. There are more religious communities with a wider number of apostolates. There is a 'weekly newspaper and television program.

On August 30, 1840, Bishop Fenwick of Boston came to Fall River and dedicated the first St. Mary of the Assumption Church.

In 1855, the present church was dedicated. It had cost $50,000.

The Know-Nothing Movement struck at Fall River on July 12, 1856 whim the original wooden church was burned to the ground.

Soon Catholics multiplied and immigrated. Other parishes, were formed throughout the city. , In 1872 the territory became a part of the Diocese of Providence, R.I. The parish church of St. Mary was cpnsecrated during a three day celebration on Sept. 7, 1901.

On March 12, 1904, Pope St, Pius X created the Diocese of Fall River. St. Mary of the Assumption became a cathedral.

The Rev. William Stang, a priest of Providence, R.I. became the, first bishop and he was formally installed on M,ay 8, ·1904. . ,The second Bishop of Fall' River was a priest of ~oston from F:,it~hburg, Bishop Daniel F.

Apostolic Delegate Surely a high point 'hl his years as Bishop came in October, 1967 when the Ordinary welcomed the Most Rev. Luigi Raimondi, Apostolic Delegate to the United States, to the Diocese upon· the ,occasion of the dedication of Bishop Connolly High School in Fall River.

On Sunday, May 24, 1970 the accomplishments and m.emories of 25 years culminated at a Mass at St, Mary's Cathedral, followed by a banquet at which members of the hierarchy, clergy, anc;l re- , ligious orders and lay representatives of the 114 parishes in the Diocese gathered. ' Bishop Connolly's apostolic succession has been traced from his consecrator, Most Rev. John Gregory Murray, back through the centuries to Pope Gregory XII, who died in 1417. Behind that date, records are hazy, but the truth remains: here is an· other Christ, a man walking in the footsteps of the Apostle!', The prayers of his 'people are , with him that he may enjoy many more "happy days."

The study was made by the Un.iversity of Hawaii's public health school.

At the time the legislation was being considered by the legisl!iture, opponents warned that if enacted, the law would turn Hawaii into the "abortion capital of the world."

Gov. John Burns permitted the legislation to become law without his signature. Burns, a Cath-

New Mu~ical Work

I LOS ANGELES (NC)-It took composer-author Meredith Will. son. just over a year to finish new musical work: Mass of the Bells.

The Mass was completed much sooner than two previou~ works, .Willson said. "Musit:I Man" took almost seven year~.

"The Unsinkable Mollie Browni' took nearly three. .

"Of course with 'The Music Man' and 'Mollie Brown' I was writing the whole thing," Willson said-lyrics as well as musid.

In this case, he said, it was k relief to have the lyrics writte~ by someone else. .I Two thousand years of Iitu~- . gical evolution and modification have produced very good lyrics I indeed, he added.

The music in Willson's Mas~ sounds like the bells that yoh hear on' Sunday morning "frorrt several different churches at once," he said.. .

"There. i~ sometimes a disson· an'ce when' you hear several bells at once," he said, "but it is a I beautiful dissonance."

Why did Willson-born and' reared a Congregationalist ..j.. compose a Mass "Three years ago come Valen-

a

tine's Day, I, married a girl named Rosemary Sullivan, if that gives you the picture," he told NC News.

"I" .h~ve gone. to a Catholic church every Sunday since I was married," Willson said. "I still, enjoy going to the Congregationalist church, too." He said his mother was superintendent of the Sunday School at the Congregational Church in Mason City, Iowa, where he was raised.

Mass of the Bells is written for piano and voice, but can b~ adapted for guitar or 'any other instrument, Willson said.

He 'said he did not know where the work would be performed for the first time.

As Advent begins, the children always remind me, "You forgot to buy the Advent stuff again!" Maybe if I was organized, I'd think to order th~ traditional wreath kit in advance. But I never think of anything in advance.

I did think of it ahead of time - once, years ago. It was frame was that it was packed late Saturday afternoon, the away with all the ,Christmas ornaments when the whole seaday before Advent. I was son was over. We finally found

doing my grocery shopping and had no time or intention of going any place beyond the supermarket.

I asked about Advent wreaths.

The stock boy gave me a blank' look; thought for a while then

it on Christmas eve when we took out the decorations for the tree. And that's a little late for ~n Advent wreath-even for me.

Deplores Curb on Bishops' Decision-Making Power I

By REV. ANDREW M.,::;GREELEY

olics would concede that such weird innovations are cause for concern.

So while the reader winces at the inept continuation of the second class liturgical status of women, he must agree that "liturgical reform is no.t all synonymous with so-called desacralization and is not intended as an occasion for what is called secularization."

And those who have grown tired of quirky eccentricities of some clerics can only say "amen". (or perhaps, "so be it") to the comment, "The priest should keep in mind that, by imposing his own personal restoration of sacred rites, he is offending the rights of the faithful and introducing individualism and idiosyncrasy into the "celebrations which belong to the whole Church."

One' suspects, however, that even though much of what the Instruction says is pertinent, it is not going to be very effective.

Not only the liturgical crazies are going to ignore it but many moderates, turned off by press reports that the document is an attempt to "turn' back the clock," are not even likely to read it.

Credibility Problem The tone of the document indicates that the Congregation of the Liturgy is not really aware of its credibility problem, much less of the fact that the instruction may make the problem worse. The only explanation for the deviance from official norms of which the Instruction seems aware is a kind ,of restless search for novelty.

That there are some innova. tors who lack good historical, theological and artistic insight -to say nothing of good taste - is all too obvious. But the more basic question would be why did a situation arise in which the crazies could run wild and the moderates are strongly tempted to act as though' the Congregation for Divine Worship does not exist.

I think that part of the explanation can be found at the end of the document. The bishops are rather stern'jy admonished that they do not have the au-

The national hierachies, in' other words cannot be trusted to make their own decisions but! like little children must demon-' strate that their understanding of the situation in their owni countries validates their request for new experiments. i Second Class Citizens Feminists should not be upset that the Instruction treats them like second, class citizens; bishops are treated like' second clasJ citizens, too.

I The .Instruction, however modi erate and gentle its language; leaves no doubt about its basic assumption that the nationai hierarchies work for the Congregation and operate within a framework circumscribed by it~ authority. Paradoxically, it is this very assumption that makes it difficult if not impossible fot the bishops to deal with th~ crazies.

For if you lack all real power to make decisions, then you lack power to restrain those who wander off the reservation ~ much less creating a situation on the reservation where thos~ who wander off are small in number and not taken very seriously. ' I Fluid Circumstances '

Future The future belongs to believers and not to sceptics and doubters. The future belongs to those who love, not to those who hate.

-Pope Pius XII

The whole point, It seems to me, of the teaching of Vatican II about collegiality is that in cir'. cumstances as fluid and dynamj~ as is to be found at the presen~, you have to rely on the goo~ . sense, intelligence, orthodoxy and faith of those close to th::l situation.

Government Drags Fee't I" Attac~ing Pollutic)n One of the recurrent themes in the Bible is the beauty and ,mystery of ,God's creation. God looked at the work of His hands and "found it good." He asked the questioning Job to consider the great constellations of Heaven and the majesty 'of nature's great beasts. Through His proph- of ecology and anti-pollution ets he told mankind to cher- than at any previous time.

Our ,Lord delighted ,in the lilies in the field whose beauty . was greater than that of "Solomon in alJ. his 'glory" and drew His parables from things' as small :- and precious - as sparrows and grains of mustard. The fig tree putting forth its green leaves, the cloud no bigger than a man's hand -lhese were the Lot-d's analogIes for the coming of 'grace or the foreshowing of His Kingdom. It would be hard, indeed, to read the Old and New Testaments without. feeling, through their pages, God's delight, in nature's freshness, vanity and unbelievable beauty, His joy in the pageant of splendour and strangeness 'with which He has endowed our plf;lnet.

Plundered Planet So what have we done with it, we the post-Christian peoples with our pride in our heritage , and our claim to ha've a civilization, superior to any other in our own...:-and perhaps any otherepoch? We have covered the fair earth with 12-lane highways. We' have torn up the soil to extract coal and gravel. We have cut down the forests. We have filled the rivers with raw sewage and chemical poisons. We are covering the oceans with oil slicks and indestructible waste. Our city air is such that we look like following Tokyo in the habitual use of gas masks.

The cumulative effect of so much filth and garbage is to begin to encroach on man's essential life-giving circuits of air and water; a few more decades of using the natural planet-the life-giving' "biosphere" - as a trash can for our technological production processes could see mankind crossing the fatal threshold of oxygen-exhaustion, the oceans following the murder of Lake Erie and leading our whole species to planetary extinction, For~unately, an awareness of these contemptible and sacrilegious prOCC/ises is beginning to spread.

His Excellency's dedicatory words stated the purpose of The Ancho r- to serve as the Bishop's personal representative -and set .a goal for those to whom he had entrusted the task of producing the publication-an honored place for the newspaper in every home in the Diocese..

For the first six months tile paper was printed by the Tim~s Publishing Co. in Webster, Mas~.

Beginning Oct. 24, 1957, comptisition, page make-up and mailin~ were done at Leary Press, Fail River, and printing at the North Attleboro Chronicle plant. Ttie entire production of the papet, from type-setting through th1e mailing process, has been carried on at the Leary Press since Det. 6, 1968 when the change w~s made from conventional lettetpress to the more modern offs~t press.

About two months before the first issue appeared, Bishop Connolly had appointed Rev. Daniel F.

Peter and Paul's, Fall River, presently administrator of Our Lady of Fatima, Swansea, as assistant general manager.

The Anchor Now Largest· Weekly In Southeastern Area of State·

NEW PAPER: Bishop Connolly, right, shows first copy of The Anchor, Fall River Diocesan newspaper established by him in 1957, to Most Rev. Thomas K·. 'Gorman, now former Bishop of Dallas-Fort Worth and, at that time, head of the United States Bishops Press Department.

ARLINGTON (NC)-Students at Bishop Denis J. O'Connell High School in this northern Virginia suburb of the nation's capital have called on the Arlington County board to change local war memorials that honor the country's dead soldiers but identify them by race.

Eight members of a "selected issues" course at the high school, n'amed after the turn-of-thecentury bishop of Richmond, pointed out that war memorials in the county are unrepresentative of today's thinking and should be changed. . Craig Hartman, a spokesman for the group, observed that one memorial in the courthouse identifies some fallen veterans as "colored" while another omits the names of black men entirely.

Both of the memorials are monuments to World War I dead.

One was erected by the American Legion and the other by a local women's club. Similar memorials for World War II and Korean War casualties are not segregated.

Board members praised the students' effort to correct the monument situation and promised to alter or replace the offending memorials. Legion officials may change the plaques when they update the memorials to include Vietnam dead.

Parishioners Kidnap Carmelite Priest to Prevent Transfer SANTIAGO (NC)-The parishioners of Father John Alkine,O. Carm., like him so much that they kidnappeo him to prevent his being sent back to the United States.

Father Alkine, a native of Chicago, was. held four days and released only after his kidnappers received assurances that he would not be transferred from the parish of Santo Cura de Ars, in a low-income section of the city.

But according to Father Kevin Shanley, communications director for the Chicago province of Carmelites, Father Alkine was not being transferred in the first place.

The 34-year-Old priest had planned to attend a conference of Carmelites in Lima, Peru, and then take a six-month leave to visit his parents in Chicago, Father Shanley said.

Military Hope~ To Rehabilitate Qrug Users WASHNGTON (NC)-A drug abuse directive released here by the U. S. Defense Department prescribes treatment rather than punishment for drug addicts in the military.

"The primary thrust of our directive," said Defense Department spokesman Frank Bartimo, "is to rehabilitate drug users and abusers in order that they may complete their military service - and hopefully discharge them into the civilian community better citizens."

Among those hailin'g the new directive was Father Daniel Egan, a Graymoor Franciscan known as the "junkie priest" for his rehabilitation work among female addicts in New York City.

Father Egan has publicly urgetl the military to expand and improve its treatment facilities tor ,drug addicts. "I'm tre· mendously .pleased about -'this," the priest told NC News. '!Ifs a ' terrible thing when addicts are dumped back on the commu· nity."

Medical Evaluation Defense Department officials estimate about 30 per cent of U. S. serv,icemen are involved in illegal drug use-mostly mario juana. Unofficial estimates on the number of troops in Vietnam who began using drugs either before or during their mil~ itary service range from 20 to 70 per cent.

The new directive says it is Defense Department policy "to prevent and eliminate drug abuse within the armed forces and to attempt to restore members so involved to useful service."

Before any disciplinary action is taken on a service man for illicit drug use, the directive says, "consideration will be given to the referral of such individual for medical evaluation."

The directive authorizes am. nesty 'programs on a trial basis.

This means court action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice could be suspended if a drug abuser voluntarily turns himself in and is "sincere in seeking help to eliminate his drug dependence."

Amnesty, D§sclpllne Initiating an amnesty program, however, is left up to the discre· tion of the local commander.

And a grant of amnesty "shall stipulate the member's full cooperation in his own rehabilitation," the directive says.

Bartimo, 'assistant general counsel for manpower, reserve offices, health and environment, said this section of the Defense Department, directive was in. cluded because of the necessity for discipline in" the armed forces.

"Without discipline," he said.. "a military force is no military force at all."

"There has to be a balance be· tween amnesty and discipline," Bartimo said. "In my judgment, the two can go together."

He said a smaller rectory is planned for the parish ground.

mark. A.H. Robertson, society president, said: "We don't know which avenue to take, but very definitely will do something."

Mrs. E.O. Kelly, member of the Kentucky Heritage Commission, who resides here, said the decision to raze the buildings "has caused a traumatic experience" 'in this community. She said efforts to preserve the build· ings will be discussed at a meet· ing of the cpmmission in Frankfort this month.

WASHINGTON (NC)-Catholic University president Clarence C. Walton has described the university's financial plight as reaching "crisis proportions" and called on the nation's Catholics to help overcome the 'school's growing deficit.

Walton reported that the university's annual operating ex· penses increased $7 million duro ing the last fou: years. At the same time, income increased by only $4 million.

The university has an endow· ment of $7.4 million, which ranks it 7lst among the nation's colleges and universities.

A large part of Catholic University's financial problems_ stems from the fact that many of its graduates go into fields where financial rewarGs are limited.

Walton pointed out that theology, canon taw,' philosophy and nursing schools seldom produce graduates who can afford to en· dow chairs or donate buildings.

In some areas of the country, a solid majority of the school's alumni are priests and Religious unable to make donations to the university.

As a result, the school is de· prived of the donations, bequests and endowments that frequently assure other educational institutions financial security.

It will be surprising if at least half a dozen people don't seize on "Of Singular Benefit: The Story of V.,S. Catholic Educa- > tion " by Harold A. Buetow (Macmillan, $12.50) as the ideal Christmas gift .for Rev. Patrick O'Neill, the beleaguered superintendent of schools for the Fall River diocese. But he can distribute extra copies to the high schQol libraries of the diocese: this. is .a long-needed reference book by an ,associate 'professor of education at Catholic University. It aims to 'examine the entire span of Catholic involvement in the American educattional process and "to provide, possible bases for cooperation between public and private education."

Father Buetow provides a glimpse of a simpler day when for instance he describes St. Philip's Colleg~ in Detroit of 1837, which charged a mere ,$100 yearly for board and tui-

"In the Footsteps of Jesus" by Wolfgang E. Pax (Putnam's, $15) must be the next best thing to making a pilgrimage to the Holy Lanq. Unbel,ievably good photographs, 83 in color, 48 in black and white, carry the viewer from place to place made forever holy by the Master.

When one' can tear himself from the photos, he finds that the text combines history, geography and factual material on the Holy Land with quotations from scripture.

An interesting commentary on the nativity of Christ points out that even today among the Bedouin tribes, "when a woman has given birth to a child, her female relatives will address her husband waiting outside the tent: 'We bring you good news of great joy, for to you is born this day .. .' The account in the Bible, therefore, describes the ancient habits and customs surrounding a birth in this country, and in its choice of words emphasizes the incarnation in an inimitable manner."

KNOW YOUR FAITH Taking 'Sin Seriously Fifteen years ago I was teaching in a boys'. high school. One of my non-teaching duties was to take care of the school chapel and religious services. Each school day began with compulsory attendance at Mass.

Because of the general understanding of mortal sin at the time we were careful to provide

PFEIFER, S.J.

several priests each morning before Mass to hear confessions so that the boys could (reely go to communion.

It was obvious to all that some boys went to confession almost every, morning, not out of devotion, but because they thought they were guilty. of mortal sin.

Some confided to me their anxiety and guilt and how they appreciated the fact that confession was so readily available before Mass.

At the time, fifteen years ago, I was puzzled by what I observed in the chapel and heard from the boys. Presumably some of these boys were guilty of .mortal sin almost every day, were sorry for their sin, and were restored to the state of grace through the sacrament of penance each morning. But I asked myself, di<! this make sense? Is it possible to jiJmp in and out of mortal sin and the state of grace every day or two?

Dilemma It appeared to me that something was wrong. Either we were not taking mortal sin seriously or we were too lightly considering the sacrament of penance.

But I had no way to resolve the dilemma fifteen years ago.

I head learned in school and heard periodically in sermons that a mortal sin was a violation of God's law in a serious matter, with sufficient reflection and full consent of the will. I knew that such a serious sin was punishable by eternal separation from God in the fire sof Hell.

This, too, 1 had learned already as a child from the catechism.

Confession was a sacrament that restored the sinner to the state of grace if he had at least imperfect contrition. That was the theology upon which the practice in our school chapeland in chapels all over the world -was built. I had no way to resolve my common sense observation that something was wrong with the practice. , Rediscovery in Theology Catholics at that time still tended to consider grace as a thing that one possessed. Mortal sin, the loss of grace, tended also to be considered like a thing.

If grace is one thing, and mortal sin is an opposite thing, then

Baptism, and the Home

II

there is no reason in the world, why each day one could not ex.! change one for the other, lose', grace through sin and remove: the sin by regaining gracel through confession. , Since my experiences in the! school chapel in 1955, the whole; theology of grace and sin has been undergoing rethinking and the Church ha's gradually developed a more meaningful under-, standing of grace and sin. .

More recent approaches. to re.! ligious instruction reflect this de-I velopment in the Church's in-I sight into the myster-y of God's grace and the mystery of man'sl sinfulness. : Instead of thinking of grace: and sin as things that affect' one's soul, religious educators: understand both grace and sinl in terms of the personal relations I between God' and man. This change of context from the realm of things and quantity to the world of persons and relationships has serious practical '. ' consequences.

Like most of the recent developments in the Church, this: understanding of mortal ,sin as: the rupture of' a relationship isll really a rediscovery of the rich biblical and theological tradition of earlier centuries.

Persona.I Relatio.nship As we sa'id in an earlier col-; umn, grace is understood in the Scriptures, many of the Fathers: of the Church, and the great: theologians of the Miqdle Ages i in terms of personal relationship I with God, begun and made pos-I sible wholly through His love.

God's love enables man to enter into intimate relationship with Him. That love is constant.

Rupture of Relationship

II

In swimming pools or at the beach these days, one sees fewer men with Catholic religious medals hanging about their necks. Our churches' have taken on a simpler style,almost stark and barren for some, with only one or ,two statues, few paintings or mosaics, and only the plain beauty of straight colors or unpainted surfaces to' decorate an interior. We make a sign of the cross less often in public.

Holy water fonts for home or school have practically disappeared. , I am not arguing here for or against thir. trend to discard traditional signs and, ritualistic gestures associated with Catholicism. I only note these quite obvious facts. It is interesting, however, to observe that in the "secular" world around us, es: pecially among the young, symbols and "sacred rites" abound.

The Woodstock festival had them. Volkswagens bear them on their bodies, contemporary movies are filled with them.

I

Man is able to close Himself off from God's love, reject it, and: seriously rupture the graced re-' lationship. Man can lock himself in on himself, clutching his G9d-given gifts to himself, forgetfUl of others, forgetful even of His God. Scripture and traditional theology consider mortal i sin as the free, deliberate break-, ing off af friendship with God. A moving description of serious sins is found in Ezechiel Chapter 16.

I Now this is no light matter, but something to be taken far more seriously than we have done in the recent past. It means, immediately that mortal sin is I something only a person with a' certain maturity and freedom' can be guilty of. Certainly the average child before teen-age is' hardly mature enough to freely and fully rupture his relationship with God or, for that matter, with anyone.

Parents and educators with a little experience and common sense know this when it is put: in these terms. What parent i would consider the tantrum of a second ~rader. the sulking silence or angry hostility of the, adolescent as.a definitive, free,' mature rejection?

Baptismal Candle One Roman Catholic sign or symbol not in decline is the baptismal candle presented to parents at a child's initiation into the Church. Officials for firms producing these items tell me sales have increased over recent months and parish priests frequently comment on how pleased people are with this personal candle given to them during the ceremony.

The clergy, of course, hope the gift not only will teach 'the child lind ,parents .about the sacrament's meaning~ but also may help father' and mother in the Christian formation of a son or daughter. The revised rite explicitly mentions this and places a serious educational responsi. bility upon those who bring infants 'to the saving waters for baptism.

"To fulfill the true meaning of the sacrament, children must later ,be formed in the faith in which they have been baptized.

The foundation of this formation will be the sacrament itself, which they have already received. Christian formation, which is their due, seeks to lead them gradually to learn God's plan in Christ, so that they may ultimately accept for themselves the faith in which they have been baptized" (no. 3).

"After baptism it is the responsibility of the parents, in their gratitude to God and in fidelity to the duty they have undertaken. to enable othe child to know God, whose adopted. child it has become,. to receive confirmation, and to participate in the holy eucharist. In this duty they are to be helped by the parish priest by suitable means" (no. 5, section 5).

"Adventures in French Cook, ing" by Miriam Guidroz ($9.95) emphasizes that contrary to popular opinion, French recipes need be neither expensive nor timeconsuming to prepare.

Even with adults, between friends, between husband and wife, how often is it possible to maturely reject fully the bond that exists? Is it possible to radically break the bond of love one day, radically reaffirm it the next day, radically break it a day later, etc.?, Surely it is possible ·to repeatedly fail, repeatedly hurt one another, and just _ as often make up, only to fail again. But neither the failure nor the making up touches the deep bond that makes the repetition of forgiveness possible.

The first six weeks were full ty coach stated, "Durfee always comes up with one or two kids of pleasantries as the Chiefs you've never heard of and then, rode the unbeaten path: But the they proceed to beat you."

Experts Predict Tight Race In County Basketball' Loop "Heavily favored Durfee High of Fall River, New Bedford, Attleboro, New Bedford Vocational and Taunton appear to have great strength and it will be an interesting battle for the title," opined one veteran Bristol County League basketball mentor a year ago. Add Msgr. Coyle High of Taunton to the list and this Winter's picture comes into focus. With six of ~he eight teams in the circuit being considered as possible title contenders the area's showcase of talent should be in for a banner campaign.

Defending champion Durfee will be led by seniors Mike Fleming and ,Dave Hooker, Fleming is expected to be among the best cornermen in the league and along with 6' 5" Hooker gives the Hilltoppers plenty of board strength. Coach Tom Karam is a master at developing a deliberate offense controlled by two steady guards.

Championships are not won on paper and the Whalers will have to prove themselves on the court. With the league as well balanced as most of the experts believe it is, New Bedford will have to go all out to win its second championship of the scholastic year.

Attleboro, which shared the football title with New Bedford, is expected to field another strong contingent, but lack of experience may hinder the Jim Cassidy-coached Jewelers.

Ray Boudreau is the lone starter returning, however last year's junior varsity unit at Attleboro had an abundance of talent for Coach Cassidy to draw upon. Among those competing for starting positions a~e 6' 5" Vic Vaughan and 6' 2"

West P.aluga, seniol' backcourt ace, is also among the fold. Center Mike Roy, who started in the pivot 'the second half of last year, has been impressive in early season drills and may be the big man the Warriors need.

Coach Winslow received a blow when senior Tom Bradshaw did not report for preseason practice. The versatile senior who lettered as a sophomore and junior was being

Chronically Sick Bishop's Care

THE ANCHORThurs., Dec. 3, 197(j

Former Brahmin

Ordained Priest

"We take up the work of charity where Bishop Cassidy set it down. We carryon as he would have us do. We will seek to expand it and extend it un路 til its fruits are visible in every corner of the diocese." ,These were the prophetic word~ spoken by a sorrowing' Bishop Connolly as he opened the 1951 Catholic Charities Appeal just four days after the death of Bishop Cassidy.

At the Catholic Memorial Home,Fall River, Bishop Connolly blessed the Bishop Cassidy Wing for the chronically ill, in 1958 and this year, a final addition, which includes accommo,dations for retired pri~sts.

Thus words uttered in 1951 became realities over the following 19 years and Bishop Connolly truly "took up the work of charity."

'Father John Eugene Subram"' ania, the first indian to study at' the Pontifical Foreign Mission Institute in Milan, was ordained here because it is the hometown of Father Florindo Antonello, ~ missionary priest of the Milan institute, who baptized the,newly ordained in 1959.
