Refugee DecisionPraised By usee

WASHINGTON (NC) - JohnMcCarthy, director of Migrationand Refugee Services for theU.S. Catholic Conference, haspraised President Jimmy Carter'sdecision to admit al1 estimated25,000 additional Indochina refu­gees - the "boat people" - intothe United States within thenext year.

McCarthy said he had workedclosely with the Carter adminis­tration. He said a commitmentfrom the American Catholicbishops to guarantee homes andjobs for all the refugees if neces­sary played an important role inthe administration's decision.

The USCC has resettled about60 percent of all the Indochineserefugees who have come into theUnited States since the end ofthe Vietnam war in 1975, Mc­Carthy said.

After the initial wave of refu­gees when North Vietnam tookover the South, refugees havebeen leaving Vietnam in small

As the team developed exper­tise in helping these families,many state, diocesan and federalsocial service agencies becameinvolved and were convened "bythe hospital into the St. Anne'sHospital Interagency ProtectiveCare Group.

"Today the interagency groupworks with the hospital team tobring supportive treatment tofamilies, quality medical care tochildren, and a sense of hopethat the proble~ can be solved,"Tietjen explained. "

The St. Anne's exhibit waschosen by NEHA judges as aneducational model for medicaland hOlipital personnel and as aunique public service program.

In a blue ribbon exhibit at theNew England Hospital "Assemblyheld last week in Boston, theChild Protection Team of St.Anne's Hospital, Fall River,shared its innovative programwith thousands of medical andhospital professionals from allparts of the six-state area.

More than by professional rec­ognition, however, the results ofthe "community network" pro­gram can be measured by manyfamilies involved in child abuse,now developing new ways ofhandling their problems, accord­ing to Sister Angela Francis,O.P., assistant director of St.Anne's Hospital.

"The first step was organizingan internal hospital team," ex­plained William Tietjen, Directorof Social Services at St. Anne's.

"On the team are emergencyroom and pediatric nurses, theChief of Pediatrics, Social Serv­ica Director and a hospital ad­ministrator," he said.

ChildAre Honored

A Very Noteworthy AnniversaryAs can readily be noted, this edition of The Anchor

is dedicated to the anniversary celebration of the DiocesanCouncil of Catholic Women.

Over the past 25 years this federation of Catholicwomen's organizations has grown to be perhaps the mostinfluential women's body in Southeastem Massachusetts.

Because of its consistently outstanding leadership andits loyal and dedicated membership, this coalition hasbecome a major factor in diocesan life.

From its co-sponsorship of the Annual Charity Ball·to its active concern with the moral issues of our day,the DCCW has faithfully reflected the mind of the Churchin all its endeavors.

It has grown to be recognized as a decisive and distinctinfluence on the daily lives of its members.

From marketplace to meeting room, from living roomto schoolroom, from parish church to Cathedral, theDiocesan Council of Catholic Women has truly been aliving witness of fidelity and loyalty to the Church whichit represents.

May its next 25 years be a faultless image of its superbbeginnings!

It is for that reason, I believe,that we do not quite understandwhy the Israelis make such afuss about national security.

By Father John B. Sheerin"Security" is a word seldem

found in the American vocabul­ary. We hear occasionally about"securities" in relation to theSecurities and Exchange Com­mission or about security for arainy day in the form of a bankaccount or insurance. But weAmericans almost never speakof security in the form of territ­orial security because it is not areal problem for us.

The U. S. lies snug and warmbehind walls of ocean. No Can­adian army is ever poised on theborder ready to invade the stateof Michigan, nor do we worryabout panzer divisions of Mexic­an troops swarming over theRio Grande. Soviet nuclear pow­er could wreak havoc here, butAmericans have confidence intheir deterrence policy. We havebeen sleeping soundly at nightever since the first atom bombwas dropped on Hiroshima. Ter­ritorial security, therefore, is nottme of our daily concerns. We~nd troops abroad but we can­not honestly say that we send

Right from the LipThis past week, the State Board of Education voted to

ask the Massachusetts congressional delegation to opposethe so-called Moynihan bill, which is intended to provide$500 million in tax credit for parents who freely chooseunder the law to send their children to private andparochial schools.

To add insult to injury, the board also placed itself onrecord as opposing everywhere and at all times any furtherefforts to give public relief to private and parochial schoolstudents.

In commenting on the board's action, State Commis­sioner of Education Gregory Anrig cast more fuel on thefire by stating that in his opinion this decision was a stepforward for democracy, which bases its education solelyon the public school system.

It is indeed tragic that such a narrow view of democ­racy reigns supreme in the highest councils of state (educa­tion. Of course, considering the source, we should not betoo surprised that once more citizens of this commonwealthare punished because of their belief in democracy. Thestatement of Mr. Anrig in this particular situation is notonly a historical shame but also an offensive slur.

Democracy is founded and has its only valid existencein diversity. The state commissioner would be more athome in a totalitarian milieu when he declares that thepublic school system is the one and only reflection ofdemocratic education. .

If he truly believes this, (and there is no reason todoubt his position on and regard for private and parochialeducation), then his intellectual vision is quite limited, tosay the very least. It is more than obvious that his gallis surpassed only by his ignorance and that his prejudicehas overcome his idealism.

Once more the Catholic and other concerned citizensin this Commonwealth have been poorly treated by officialsof the state; once more those who believe that alternateforms of education enhance and strengthen the democraticsystem have been shot down and publicly degraded aspeople working outside the democratic system.

As Catholics throughout the state urge their cop·gressional delegations to support the tax credits offered b~.

the Mpynihan bill, it would be well if they also sent a fewlines to the State Commissioner of Education to let himknow that Catholics will no longer submit to being treatedas second-class citizens in a state that is supposedly theguiding light of American democracy.

The Carter administrationearlier admitted some 15,000 ad­ditional refugees. The adminis­tration wanted to admit evenmore, but was tied up in a de­bate over the best way to do it.

Letters tothe Editor

Dear Editor:Again, what seems an abuse,

wholesale general absolution,cries out for comment from adisappointed if not disillusionedlayman.

Recent reaffirmations, seem­ingly authoritative, reiterate theperennial teaching that the stateof moral sin requires confessionbefore going to holy commun­ion.

If general absolution is strict­ly an emergency measure, andif accepted by an individual stillrequires the same dispositions asthose of ordinary penitents goingto confession as well as a resolu­tion, if mortally guilty, to re­ceive this sacrament as soon asreasonably possible - why therecent wholesale absolving bythe Lansing, bishop in three largecities of Michigan?

Wherein lies the emergency,especially in view of theChurch's apparently not too suc­cessful campaign to encourageall Catholics in a return to afrequent use of the sacrament ofpenance?

It could be claimed that thegood .bishop, in some far-outevaluation, was hoping for justthat, but in a practical sense,viewing modern proclivities,how many more will see it as anoccasion for an easy disavowalof 'individual responsibility anda further downgrading of theEucharist?

Dear Editor:Reading one of the issues of

Anchor, I find that in your list­ing of Religious Communities ofMen in the Diocese of Fall River,you make mention of the HolyCross Fathers, but forget tomake mention of the Holy CrossBrothers. As a former graduateof Coyle High School, whichsupplied many vocations to thediocesan clergy, I know that theBrothers are still in your diocese

.and are engaged with the Fathersin teaching and other works atStonehill College.

I'm sure that you would liketo keep the records straight andwould also appreciate that thereare "displaced" New Englanderswho get your paper and read it.In this day and age when thereis so much confusion and mis­understanding about the Churchand about religious life, we needto keep those who are still work­ing in the vineyard before theeyes of our people.

Perhaps Coyle or Coyle andCassidy no longer have the goodservices of the Brothers in thehigh school apostolate, but theystill give service in other waysin the Diocese of FalJ River.

Thank you for your time andGod bless all of your endeavors.

National CouncilThe National Council of Cath­

olic Women, founded in 1920by the !Bishops of the UnitedStates, is a federation of Cath­olic organizations of women.Thousands of organizations. na­tional, state, diocesan and local,make up the federation, whichrepresents approximately ninemillion Catholic women through­out the United States and onU.S. military posts abroad.

The council aim is to unitethese women in purpose, direc­tion and action in religious, so­cial, educational and charitableendeavors; to assist the affilia­ted organizations through pub­lications, field services, corres­pondence, institutes and nation~

al conventions; and to providenational and international rep­resentation and voice for Cath­olic women of the United States.

NCCW Programs are promo­ted by national commissionsworking with counterparts on thediocesan, district and locallevels.

Diocesan UnitThe Fall River Diocesan Coun­

cil of Catholic women was or­ganized in June 1953 by theMost Reverend James L. Con­nolly. Marking the occasion, thebishop was the principal cele­brant at a solemn PontificalMass at 8 p.m. at St. Mary's Ca­thedral, Fall River - the firstevening Mass in the Fall RiverDiocese.

On this 25th Anniversary ofour Council, we pay tribute toBishop Connolly for his fore­sight and wisdom in bringingit to our diocese. It has grownand flourished during these 25years, uniting women fromProvincetown and the Islands tothe Attleboros in their work inthe lay apostolate.

Devoted diocesan, district andaffiliate moderators have work­ed and advised the women dur­ing this period. The late Rev.Msgr. Joseph Sullivan was thefirst diocesan moderator. Hewas succeeded by the Rev. Msgr.Thomas F. Walsh, who serveduntil his retirement, and ourpresent moderator is Rev. Msgr.Gerard J. Chabot.

We would also take this op­portunity to salute the pastpresidents of the Fall RiverDCCW, who have nurtured thegrowth of our Council these first25 years.

The dedication and devotionof all the women in Councilwork cannot easily be put intowords but the result of theirendeavors is evident in all areasof the Fall River diocese.

What To Seek"All that should be sought for

in t-he exercise of prayer is con­formity of our will with the div­ine will, in which consists thehighest perfection." - St. Ter­esa of Avila

She would be perfectly true.

There would be no decep­tion or insincerity in her. Inevery relation of life shewould be found faithful.

She would put herself last.In her heart Christ wouldbe on the throne and selfon the cross. Self-controlwould take the place of self­will.

She would b~ serviceable.Her hands would reach outin loving helpfulness toevery suffering, needy per­son with whom she came incontact, and no servicewould be too slight.

She would be clothed in hu­manity. No pride or self­conceit would mar thebeauty of the things she did.She would be gentle inspeech. From her lips wouldcome no harsh words towound the hearts that werenearest and dearest to her.

She would be personally at­tractive. She would glorifyher Master by proving thathe can make his followersbeautiful with a more thanearthly fairness.

She would be popular. Butthe host of friends whomshe would draw would notstana between her and herLord. Rather, she woulddraw them nearer him.

She would love pleasure,knowing that Christ wouldwant her to be happy. Buther good times would be ofsuch a nature that Christwould be a sharer in them.

More than all, she would beconsistent. Her way 9f lifewould square with her work.

So she would walk trium­phantly the way of the HolyCross, glorious in her dis­cipleship and crowned withthe more than royal crownthat Christ will give to thosewho overcome.

Soul on Fire"Make many acts of love, for

they .set the soul on fire andmake it gentle." - St. Teresa ofAvila
