NCCW convention

Diocesan wo'men elected to national office

Two members of the Fall River Diocesan Council of Catholic Women were elected to national office at the National Council of Catholic Women convention, held Oct. 20 to 25 at the Sheraton Twin Towers Hotel, Or'lando, FL. The gathering carried the theme "One Heart, One Mind in One Spirit."

Mrs. James A. O'Brien Jr., a past president of the diocesan council and immediate past Boston province director, led a slate of 12 nominees' for the organization's national nominating committee. The St. Mary's

. Cathedral, Fall River, parishioner will serve as national chairman of the committee.

Mrs. Michael J. McMahon, also a cathedral parishioner and former diocesan council president, as well -as a past national treasurer, was elected to serve as treasurer of the NCCW associates.

Msgr. Anthony M. Gomes, diocesan moderator, led a delegation of 19 council members to the biannual convention. Father

James F. Lyons, New Bedford deanery moderator, and Father Joseph L. Powers, St. Elizabeth Seton parish, No. Falmouth, also attended.

The diocesan women were greatly responsible for the success of a silent auction held at the convention. Mrs. O'Brien served as co-chairman of the fimdraiser, which netted over $11,000.

On Oct. 22, conventioneers were addressed by Susan Blum, founding editor of The Catholic Evangelist, a national magazine published in Boca Raton, FL, by the Catholic Evangelism Foundation.

She told participants .not to let a lack of experience or confidence .keep them from lay ministry.

. "There is not a person in this room who could have less experience, less confidence or 'less knowledge than I did nine years. ago," she told the 1700 delegates.

She said that when she joined the local council of Catholic

women in the Palm Beach Diocese she knew little about women's church organizations or even how to introduce a bishop.

Nine years later, the keynote speaker said, she can look at the "success of· The Catholic Evangelist" and her own accomplishments as a doctoral degree candidate and convention speaker.

Archbishop Edward A. McCarthy of Miami, chief celebrant at the convention M~ss

the same day, told delegates "to transform the world" by evangelizing people outside and inside the church.

"We are evangelizers but we need to be evangelized," he said. "Evangelization calls for not only believing the revealed truth but 'living it. Everyone is responsible in his or her own way to spread the news of Jesus. No member plays a' passive role."

Evangelization, he 'said, can take place everywhere men and women "meet, dream their

The editorial said the car, dina I had submitted his letter of resignation to the pope and noted that under 'church law one of the circumstances a pope can take into account in considering an offer of resignation is the health of the bishop. The editorial said Cardinal Krol recently passed his annual physi- "cal and has been keeping a rigorous schedule.

"The cardinal has said that he is looking forward to dedicating the 100th church since he has been archbishop of Philadelphia," the archdiocesan newspaper noted.

the moorin&...-. '. Secular Onslaught

Despite the clamor of sneers and snide remarks from left field, Secretary of Education William J. Bennet brings a refreshing new hope to the public arena. His outspokenness of support for our Judeo-Christian tradition·has made him many foes, given today's political spectrum. He dares to.talk about traditional religious and moral values in gov.ernment and educatiom

In a recent address to the Knights of Columbus he spoke on the.recent Supreme Court case, known as the Felton decision, which bans public school teachers from teaching remedial classes in parochial schools. He stated that the Department of Education will do its very best to nullify the damage done by the Felt~n decision to ,the education of needy children.

It is his hope to work with local school authorities todevise " other' means to provide required services. He is abol.lt to prepare legislation allowing the conversion of Chapter O'ne funds into a voucher system. Such a program would give parents the choice to use these funds in any school.

The efforts of the Supreme Court as evidenced in so many school decisions have in effect· created an atmosphere of devisiveness. The various decisions they hav~ handed down with regards to parochial and private schools have had the cumulative effect ofbuilding walls between public and private schools. It really is ironic that the people of Amer:ica !lave' come.a long way in overcoming so many old divisions, but that they must now face a new source of separation, namely, the

..assault of the secular on the religious. Nothing could be more 'damaging to the fibre of our national life than to allow government to secularize the total fabric of our living. Yet decisions of the highest court ,in this land, just iIi the area of education, clearly indicate a· trend to enforce this secular philosophy as the new American way. Stipressed is the fa'ct

·that the history of Ame,rican education, as indeed that of the. entire national experience, eannot- be understood without reference to the Judeo-Christian tradition.

eRA backs call for health council

WASHINGTON (Ncj - The Catholic Health Association has backed the recent call of four congressmen for creation of a national council to review ac-, cess of Americans to adequate health ca're:

CHA bad recommended estab'lishment of such a national panel last February.

The proposed National Council on Access to Health Care would conduct local hearings on health-care issues. around the nation 'Snd make recommendations to Congress and the president.

Introducing legislation to create the council were Sens. Paul Simon, b-Ul.,and David Durenberger. R·Minn., and Reps. W. Henson Moore, R-La.,' and Richard A. Gepharot, D-Mo.

The congressional proposal represents "98 percent" of what CHA: wanted, Jack Bresch, CHA congressional liaison, said.

Topics for council study would be demographics of health-care needs; differences in quality and availability of health care to various sectors of the population; health-care costs and the proper role of government and other institutions in financing, delivering, supervising and plimning health-care services.

The legislation proposes $3 million for ~ach of three fiscal years for the council. It's "up to Congress to decide" how to get the money, Bresch said.

In a written statement, William J. Cox, vice-president of CHA's government service div-ision, said CHA believes the council "has the potential to encourage a high level of beneficial public debate about the future of health care in America, especially with respect to the 'all-important assues of increased access, reduced costs 'Snd continued quaHty."

spirits, and had received a telephone call from Pope John Paul II, daily visits by Cardinal John J. O'Connor of New York and a visit from Mother Teresa.

The cardinal was admitted to the hospital after falling at the Vatican's mission to the United Nations in New York, where he was staying during his visit.

According to a spokeswoman at the mission, the cardinal fell down a flight of stairs; sustaining a laceration over his left eyebrow. He was taken to the hospital, where he was admitted for observation. At a fil1lll1 examination before he was to be released Oct. 24, doctors noticed a red blotch on his left side which indicated hemorrhaging. They then discovered the ruptured spleem

Dr. Maurizio Daliana, the surgeon who performed the operation, said the cardinal's SPleen had an injury comparable to a "blood blister," and that this was "like a time bomb" because of the danger or rupture. For the protection of the cardinal, Daliana said, the "prudent course" was to remove the spleen.

The spleen, an organ near the stomach, has various functions in modifying the structure of the blood.

He recalled that all the popes over the past 40 years "made no secret of their esteem" for the

, United Nations and its purpose's.

"The names of Pius XII, John XXIII, Paul VI and the present pontiff will remain forever linked with this organization by Teason of their words of recognition and appreciation," Cardinal Casaroli said.

He said the support of those popes did not mean that they did not see the U.N.'s shortcomings. "But the vo'ice of the Apostolic See continues still today to be a voice of support, encouragement, and even an incitement to do more and better," he said.

Cardinal Casaroli cited several world problems, including "the great fear" brought by the threat of nuclear weapons and "the great selfishness" which he said could characterize the 'relations of rich and poor nations.

He also cited the evils of local wars such as in the Middle East, the consequent refugees causing "social unrest on Ii world scale," and the "worldwide spread of violence" in terrorism, '''o~n iltinked with the commerce of drugs 'and the explosion of sordid violence of all kinds."

Despite all these realities, Cardinal Casaroli said, peace remains possible and work for peace necessary.

THIS SATURDAY IS THE FIRST SATURDAY OF THE MONTH Honor the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Practice the devotion of the five First Saturdays

This devotion was requested by Our Lady of Fatima on July 13, 1917, when she said: "God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart.

"I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and ~he Communion of reparation on the first Saturdays. If people listen to my requests, Russia will be converted and there will be peace."

Then again, on December 10, 1925, Our Lady appeared to Sister Lucia, one of the children of Fatima, and told her the following:

"Announce in my name that I promise to assist at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation, all those who on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, shall

1. Go to confession and receive Holy Communion,

2. Recite the Rosary,

3. And keep me company for a quarter of an hour while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary

4.' With the intention of making reparation to me."

To practice this devotion, you must fulfill the requests o.f Our Lady, doing so in reparation for the offenses committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Confession may be made during eight days before or after the Communion.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., Nov. 1, 1985 9'Chapel on wheels' briefly revived NEVADA CITY, Mont. (NC)

The Catholic Church Extension Society marked its 80th anniversary and evoked its history in the rural American missions with a Mass celebrated in a train chapel car in Nevada City, a restored Old West town.

From 1907 to the 1930s three Pullman-style "chapels on wheels" were used by the Extension Society to bring the sacraments and instruction to towns without priests.

The September celebration in Nevada City, near YeIlowstone Park, drew people dressed ·in frontier costumes who arrived by horseback, wagon ·and fourwheel drive. .

The anniversary celebration began with the baptism of 1month-old MicheIle Rose Cerino. Frontier services 70 years ago often began with a baptism.

The nilroad car, now retired from service, includes a 50-foot chapel with 'a built-in'" altar, organ, confessional, stations of the cross, stained glass windows and seating for 70 people. It also has an office-study, two bedrooms, bath and kitchen.

The Extension Society was founded Oct. 18, 1905, to support Catholic missions in poor and rural areas across the United States. Today, instead of railroad chapel cars, the society evangelizes through methods including radio and television.

The chapel ca'r used for the anniversary Mass was built in 1915 and dedicated to St. Paul the missionary. It is now ina museum near Nevada City.

Extension president, Father Edward J. Slattery, who celebrated the Mass, sa'id the anniversary celebration was held to "remember the thousands of people who were strengthened in their faith because this train passed by."

"Some of the beautiful byproducts of the chapel car were the little communities that sprang up. The people were baptized, confirmed, married and anointed. They became more aware of their Catholicity, which in many cases, had dried up because the church was not present to them," he said in his homily.

According to Extension Society records. the first chapel car, the St. Anthony, went out in 1907 to serve dioceses in the Northwest, South and CentTal Plains. It was also used in exhibitions in the Midwest and East Coast.

The S1. Peter chapel car served the Pacific Northwest, while the St. Paul car, built last, was originally sent to the South.

Later it was a telpporary chapel in towns around YeIlowstone Park. In 1967 it was donated to ·a railroad coHection .near Nevada City.

The chapel car's usual routine included Mass and religious instruction in the morning and lec

tures in the evening. "It was an exciting day when

the chapel car first came to Gardiner, Mont.," recalled Elsie Cunningham, a resident of Ennis, Mont. "When it was announced the chapel car would be coming, we spread the word throughout the community. Lots of people, non-Catholics as weIl as Catholics, came out to see it because of :its novelty.'"

CD BANKOF NEW ENGLAND" BRISTOL COUNTY

Member F.D.I.C.

By Dr. James and Mary Kenny

Dear Mary: I want to share' a , Thanksgiving experience we had last year about a good deed that backfired. We belong to family

. action group in our parish. We and our children organized a collection of food for the needy. We made food baskets and took them

,around a few days before Thanksgiving. ,

One recipient was a member of our parish, a widow. However, when we brought the basket, she got very angry. She said she wasn't "poor" and didn't need "welfare." She has a full-time job 'and is raising four nice kids single-handed.

We admire her and thought we would give her a little boost, but our action seems to have been all wrong. We are very cautious this year. - Iowa.

Our society is often stratified according to the amount of money in a household. Consequently: we tend to know others who are just about like ourselves economically. You are not the first group to collect for the poor and then wonder who the poor are, and where they are. .

We are learning that problems of hunger and poverty are not, solved simply by providing money

and goods. Life is more complicated than that. What can a middleclass parish do about the needy in their community? '

Some parishes embrace a wide range of economic levels. Often, however, people socialize according to economic means. The parish is not unified into one Christian community, but is divided in clans or cliques, most based on wealth;

Perhaps a group like yours can take steps to break such divisions. Seek to know a wider range of people in the parish, not to "do good" to them, but simply to know them as human beings.

One of the best ways to get to know them is to involve yourselves in a comnion action; Invite someone you know only slightly to have coffee with You.after Sunday Mass. Invite them to, help at the church bazaar, the parish religious ed'ucation program, a parish school activity. Ifyou get refusals, keep trying. Several efforts by your family

,action. group could change the social climate of your parish.

Suppose your parish ser,ves only one'economic grou'p and there are no poor people. Then you need to work through people who do know the needy in a'personal way. Your welfare department might help you. Even better would be persons who

feed the hungry or clothe the needy on an ongoing basis. '

But if you really want to meet needs, involve yourselves. Perhaps your group can volunteer to work at a local soup kitchen or to personally distribute clothes to the needy. When you have a feel for those in need, when you have met them personally, you will better be able to help.

Catherine de Hueck Doherty, a great Catholic actionist of our century, writes about her daily walk

,from home to the post office in her village. The short walk takes hours because she uses that time to talk

, to neighbors. Catherine calls this the "chit-chat" apostolate.

With characteristic emphasis on little things, she recognized the importance of visiting with neighbors. Unless we know people personally and know their' needs, we cannot meet those needs.

The desire to serve others is beautiful. And to serve a family is even more beautiful. As you and your group continue, you· may well discover it is not goods you need to share so much as yourselves.

In memory 'of Bishop Ryan By Antoinette Bosco

How :pe~sonal should a columnist be with reader~? This week I confronted that 'question and answered with my heart.

I want to rela~e an incident known onlyto me and a wonderful man who died June 4, Auxilary Bishop Gerald J. Ryan of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, N. Y.

I am still dealing with the shock of hearing of his sudden death at 61 from a heart attack. How true it is that the good always die too young. This man's ministry, from my expe'rience and that of many others, was to put people first.

.1 met Father Ryan 25 years ago when he was director of Catholic Charities. During his first parish assignine'nt, he had earned a master's degree in social work from Fordham University to be better prepared to minister to people in personal crisis.

That's where I was in the 19608 - in a personal crisis, struggling to maintain a family of six children in a destructive marriage. My friendship with Msgr. Ryan deep

, ened because I was a staff member of the newly founded diocesan newspaper, the Long Island Catholic.

Msgr. Ryan was truly a mentor and a resource for me. He helped me understand and write the many stories I covered relating ,to all areas of poverty, interracial justice and famil~ matters.

He also suggested a Catholic Charities psychiatric social worker for my husband and me to see. Unfortunately, counseling only verified that separation was the only answer.

It was a tragic time oflife for me and my children. As the situation deteriorated, ) decided to move out of the house with the children temporarily. My sister, who lived 250 miles away, took my children, and I moved into a motel room. I

had to remain in the area to keep working.

My motel room didn't have a teleph0tle, so in order to call my office I had to use an outdoor phone booth. The first message I had was that Msgr. Ryan wanted me to call right away.

I did. In the course of the conversation, he unexpectedly asked me: "Toni, do you need money?"

It's hard to relate how that question affected me. It hit a chord that touched me so deeply I found myself crying uncontrollably there in that phone booth on Montauk highway.

Msgr. Ryan's concern for me was so genuine and so surprising that he briefly broke the padlock I had put on my emotions. I could be human and cry.

This is my story but it is only one. I know of many other times when Bishop Ryan helped people, perhaps by finding shelter for a homeless person and paying for it out of his own pocket or promoting the hiring of minorities. '

The best memorial a person can achieve is the lasting memory of his goodness ever alive in the hearts of people who felt his love. This is Bishop Ryan's legacy to me and to so many otht;rs.

Early signs of middle age , By Hilda Young

An old friend made an awful statement the other day about approaching "middle age."

"How can you be approaching middle age?" I asked. "You're the same age as I am'. "

She nodded slowly, sticking her tongue into the side of her cheek.

"My parents are middle-aged," I said. "They have been middleaged for as long as I can remember. As a matter of fact, they were in their middle years when I was born."

"Hilda, they were in their early 20s," my fair-weather friend corrected.

,"Maybe, but they were mature beyond their years and aged fast."

"Just how do you define middle age?" she asked.

"Simple," I said. "Someone 15 to 20 years older than I am."

"How about other criteria," she kept on.' "Like making a noise every time you stand up. Or noticing that your friends talk more about IRAs than PTAs. Or realizing it's difficult to tell much difference between persons 12 and 20.

"I have noticed that most of the people on TV commercials seem younger than I do," I admitted, just to be polite.

"Most of the people on the face of the earth are younger than you are," my acquaintance countere'd.

"I'll give you some more hints," she went on. "Have you found yourself criticizing the latest styles rather than wanting to try them?"

"Who wants to have a hairstyle where you can't tell when you need

, to fix your hair again?" "Let me g<;> on," she said, raising,

her hand. "Have you noticed that persons who were friends' dumb little brothers and sisters are running banks and being elected to Congress? That your favorite movies are being called 'classics?' That coin shops advertise for pennies for the year you were born? And sometimes you forget what year it was anyway?"

"That's not true," I said. "I can always remember the year I was born because it was t\yo years after the war ended."

"Vietnam?" she smiled. "Cute," I said.

National Migration Week

set for Jan. 6 . 11

WASHINGTON (NC) - "The Catholic Church in the United States is a chU'rch of nations, a magnificent mosaic of people with origins in variegated 'races and regions of the world," said Bishop Anthony J. Bevilacqua of Pittsburgh, asking support for National Migration Week Jan. 6 to II,

The bishop, chairman of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops' Migration and Tourism Committee, urged a commitment to cultural pluralism, openness toward newcomers and readiness to share.

In a letter to other U.S. bishops, Bevilacqua reminded them that the theme of the week, "Incorporation of Newcomers Into 'the' Local Church," was designated by Pope John Paul II i'n a message on World Migrants' Day last July. '

Bishop Bevilacqua said the pope cited the "dramatic waves of migration':. t~king place around the worM and calIed for "ecclesial integration whiclt enriches the church.,of God. "

...................... ;

National Migration Week is "an opportunity to become more aware of and to treasure our roots, our heritage and our gifts," Bishop Bevilacqua said. It is also time to recognize that all gifts, experiences and roots serve "to build up the one Body of Christ, his church," he said.

Maronite priest 'asl~s aid' for Lebanon , WASHINGTON (NC) - Chris

tians in Lebanon, caught in the middle of a lO-year civil war, feel "abandoned" by Christians in other countries, said a Maronite Catholic priest visiting the United States.

"Our brother,S in the West ... are sending us nice- words," but more is needed, said Father Mansour Labaky, pastor .of St. Abda Parish in Roumieh, Lebanon, 10 miles' east of Beirut.

Father Labaky was visiting the United States to raise funds for his country, where Christians and l\ioslems are about equaily divided among the 3 million popula'. tion. Maronite Catholics form the largest Christian group.

In the United States, Christians think of Lebanon for 20 seconds during a news spot, then it's back to beer and baseball, said Father Labaky. '

"While you are eating and cirinking and dancing . . . we need the opportunity to live," he said.

The priest spoke of life in a' country where children do "not have a month without hearing , bombs ... or moving to the basement."

"Before '75, we 'used to live' in peace, like you," he s~id, '

Now, he' said, "We are being' under atta~ks ey~ry day. We ccnnot brfilathe; we are drowned,'"

In 1976", most of Father Lab· aky's parishioners in Oamour, in south~rn Lebanon, were massa· credo The survivors managed to escape by sea' to areas north of Beirut. '

The following year. Father Labaky helped start a home for children, ages 5' to 12, orphaned by the war. The home, in the village of Ain Saade, now is run by church officials in Beirut.

Father Labakysaid, because the orphange was for children of both sexes, those' over 12 were placed in foster homes,

'He said he continues to send money, food and clothing to children in the orphanage and in the foster homes.'

The people ,of his parish have continued to help others, despite misfortunes of war, he said. He asks parishioners to bring on~

pound of anything -' coins, wheat, clothing - to help the needy.

Currently, the 'priest and 30 volunteers work with 350 handicapped people in' the area. Children from his parish 'also spend one day a week helping the handicapped.

"We are married to the land," he said. "We are rooted like the cedar. Can you" uproot the cedar?"

The priest said he wants to help rebuild houses, hospitals and schools destroyed in the war. In addition, he said, he WOUld. like to start a radio station, based in Christian Lebanon to broadcast to Christian minorities in predominantly Moslem countries of the Middle East.

People in the United States can"help by praying and sending financial support, but they also can put pressure on' the U.S. government to help save Lebanon's democracy, said Father Labaky.

The Lebanese people just want to live in peace, he 'added. , "We want to be the bridge between the Moslems, the Jews and Christians," he said.

New NCCB · USCC . building plans approved

WASHINGTON (NC) - The District of Columbia Zoning Commission has given first-stage approval of plans for the new building for the National Conference , of Catholic Bishops and the U.S. Catholic Conference.

Francis Doyle, USCC associate general secreta,ry, said final approval of the plans should come by the end of the year and that construction will begin in the spring of 1986 and be completed 18-22 months later.

The Leo A. Daly Co. of Omaha; Neb., is the architectural firm for the building, which will rise on a five-acre tract behind Theological College at Catholic University of America. The current

building at 1312 Massachusetts Ave. N.W., on the edge qf downtown Washington, will be .sold.

division. ,on youth Bishop Feehan'High School veteran

A horn teacher By Joseph 'Motta

Neil LOew goes back a long, way with Bishop Feehan High School. He served as an altar boy under Bishop ,James, L Connolly when the bishop dnstailled and dedicated Feehan's cornerstone in'196!. ' '. . ,

24 years later, :he is chairman of the social studies' department at the Attleboro school, and a guidance counselor to junior and senior students there.

" '

A born teacher, the 40-yearold Loew is excited about !his work 'at Feehan and ,.takes his' duties very seriously. "I have a part in helping students develop critical thinking," he said., "By my example,. I help, students define their faith and ' their ,own morail valfies."

Loew isa "1963 graduate 'of Msgr. -James <:;oyle High Schc;>ol (now Coyle and Cassidy High School), Taunton, and, a , 1967 alumnus of'S't. Fra~"cis 'College, Biddeford, Me: He' holds a B.A. in !history with a minor in" sec

. ondary education, and is studying fora masters of education in counseling :a'tBridgewater State College.

Joining the Shamrock staff t):J.e September after he earned

, his degree, the Plainville resident, now in his 19th year at the high school, is one of Feehan's senior. lay t~achers. One course he !has beeniteaching for several years ~s "Isms and Contemporary'Issues." "Isms" is a' comparison of 'world governments, and 'also a forum allowing students to discuss the more controversial topics, such ,as drug' abuse, which their generation encounters. Loew finds

this class particularly ,refreshing and relevant.'

His love affair with Feehan continues to grow with time.'

, When asked why he likes teach- , ing at the Catholic high school, the answers come easily. "The a:dministration and 'philosophy' of the, school, the family typ'e" of set-up, the structure" discip- ' line and moral values taught here" aU contribute to his enjoy

,ment, he said. :rhere's a "bond" at the school,

'Loew stressed. "T-he concerns of Ischoo!.,come together," he'said, , noting that, the Feehan com-', munitycame through for him. when he' needed support.

He ,is quick to credit, Sister" ,Mary, Faith Harding, R.S.M., : 'Feehan's' principal. ,"She's ,a' tre- ' mendous 'leader and administrator with, a lot of concern for her faculty," he ,said, '

Loew and wife Joyce are the 'parents of three: :two-year-old: : Patrick, Brian, a recent arrival

'at four 'months;'a'nd Karen, a freshman at Feehan this year.'

In 'addition" to 'seeing' his daughter'become'a,part of,the Bis~op, 'Feehan cqmmunity, Loew' can look back on many pleasallt experiences, at the school. He notes that he's seen many of, his former students return to teach at Feehan, and ~'on an athletic level, wirining the .l!,}82 Division II -State Golf Championship was ,a happy point in my career." , , Loew serves 'as "Feehan's golf coach,and has coached .freshma~ basketball 'and varsity foot.ball for seven and 11 years respectively. He enjoys golf, 'skiing, travel 'and 'reading in his spare time.
