BISHOP CRONIN CONCELEBRATES 75th ANNIVERSARY MASS WITH BISHOPS OF NEW ENGLAND AND PRIESTS OF THE DIOCESE

Jubilee Mass HomilyThe· following homily was delivered at the Cathedral of St. Mary.of

the Assumption by Bishop Daniel A. Cronin at Sunday's Liturgy of Thanks­giving on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of theDiocese of Fall River. .

A meditation on the Scripture readings contained in today's Liturgyof the Word can be summed uo in one word: FAITH. A reflection on themeaning of the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the establish­ment of the Diocese of Fall River likewise can be summed up in one word:FAITH.

In the first reading from the Book of Genesis, we are told of thePatriarch Abraham and the extraordinary test to which God put him:"Take your son Isaac, your only one, whom you love, and go to the landof Moriah. There you shall offer him up as a holocaust on a height that Iwill point out to you." (Gen. 22:2)

There is no indication of any hesitancy or doubt. Abraham put hisfaith in God and trusted Him as indeed he had done from the beginning.As he was about to sacrifice his son, the Lord's messenger intervened tosave the boy.

Then again, consider the words of the Lord to Abraham: " . . . be­cause you acted as you did in not withholding from me your beloved son,I will bless you abundantly and make your descendants as countless. asthe stars of the sky . . . and in 'your descendants all the nations of theearth shall find blessing." As the Lord had promised in His convenant: Hewould be their God; they would be His people. (Gen. 22:16-18)

"The Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation" of the SecondVatican Council, in its reflection on the inscrutable plan of God for man­kind, reminded us that, "God, with loving concern contemplating, andmaking preparation for the salvation of the whole human race, in a singu-

lar undertaking chose for himself a people to whom to entrust his promises.By his covenant with Abraham and, through Moses, with the race ofIsrael, he did acquire a people for himself, and to them he revealed him­self in words and deed as the one, true, living God, so that Israel mightexperience the ways of God with men." (No. 14.)

The second reading, from the New Testament, specifically from Paul'sletter to the Romans, makes reference once again to the son being offeredfor the chosen ones. This time, however, it is God Himself who has nothesitated to sacrifice his only Son for the salvation of the world. Thechosen ones are those who by faith accept as their Savior this beloved Sonof God who has become man and died - Jesus Christ. They constitute thenew people of God.

In the reading from the Gospel according to Mark, we are remindedof that important event in the life of the Lord, His Transfiguration, whenthe divinity of Jesus became evident, however fleetingly, to those whowere privileged to be with Him for the occasion, Peter, James and John,who would be with Him again later in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Jesus, brilliantly transfigured, conversed with Moses, and Elijah,representatives of the Law and the Prophets. There came the voice. "Thisis my Son, my beloved. Listen to him." (Mark 9:7) They looked aroundand coul,d see only Jesus. It was His word and revealed truth that wouldbring to completioI.l what had been spoken through Moses and the prop­hets. In Christ, Son of David, the Savior of the World, God's covenantwith Abraham and his descendants would be fulfilled.

Descend~nts, one and all, of Abraham, our father in faith, we cherishthe special gift .of faith in God which has been given us. And we areChristians. What does this mean? Simply put, it means that by the graceof faith we have accepted Jesus as Lord with all that such faith implies.

Jubilee HomilyContinued from Page One

I We are in a long line of faithin the true God which goes backto Abraham. We trace our Chris­tian heritage back to Peter andthe Apostles upon whom theSon of God and the Son of Mary,Jesus Christ, founded hisChurch.

Through him we became "Achosen tace, a royal priesthood,a holy nation, a people whomGod claims as his own." (I Pet.2:9-10) Once we were no people.In Christ, we became God'speople. This, in fact, is theChurch: the new people of God.

The Church has preached Je­sus and His revealed truth fromthose earliest days when theApostles, having been instruc­ted and commissioned by theLord to preach the Gospel, re­ceived the strength of the HolySpirit at Pentecost.

This authentic preaching andteaching has continued to ourown day and will always con­tinue. The new People of God ­the Church-have been pastoredby authentic successors of theApostles, namely, the bishops,whom Christ willed to be "theshepherds in his Church untilthe end of the world." (Lumen

• Gentium, No. 18) ."Christ, instituted this new

covenant, namely, the new co­venant in His blood; He calleda race made up of Jews andGentiles which would be onenot according to the flesh, butin the spirit, and this race wouldbe the new People of God."(Lumen Gentium, iNd. 9)

From its beginning in Pales­tine, the Church of Jesus Christhas continued the evangelizingmission entrusted to it by theLord. The People of God have

. grown in number with everygeneration in all the world sothat from the rising of the sunto its setting the, name of Jesusis praised among the nations.

The history of our owy-- be­loved land has witnessed theeffective mission of the RomanCath01ic Church. In particular,the growth of the Church hasbeen a singular grace given bythe Lord to our own native NewEngland.

Indeed, the Church grew soenergetically and quickly,thanks in great measure to thestalwart Catholic immigrantswho came here to begin a newlife, that the Holy See from timeto time found it necessary todivide existing ecclesiasticaljurisdictions in order better toprovide for the pastoral care of

. God's people.

And so it came to be that onMarch 12, 1904, the saintlyPope Pius X, established theDiocese of Fall River - ourown dear Diocese of which weare so' justly proud and whose75th anniversary we commem-

. orate today.

We cherish the thought thatit was this portion of the Lord'svineyarc1 that became the firstdiocese' erected by the newPope who was one day to bedeclare~ a saint. Our history ofthe Diocese makes reference toa remetpbrance of Pope St. Pius

whether physical, spiritual orpsychological, the outreach .toall, Catholic or non-Catholic, ingood times or bad, all of thiscould never have taken place- or indeed presently be ac­complished - were it not forthe saintly, dedicated and zeal­ous men and women who con­secrate their lives to God in thepriesthood and in the religiouslife.

But again, our Jubilee com­memorates 75 years of diocesanlife, and thus cannot be identi­fied solely with the work of thepriests and religious any morethan with that of the bishopsalone.

The faithful laity who havebeen so zealously served andcared for pastorally over thesepast 75 years have themselvesbeen the cause, in great meas­ure, of all that has taken place.It was their love for theirChurch, their desire to cooper­ate in God's saving mission,their pride and generosity,' theirencouragement and, above all,their faith which has made theChurch in the Diocese of FallRiver a strong community ofbelievers in Jesus who haveplaced themselves and theirmeans at the service of theChurch. Born in the Diocese orcoming from other areas orother lands, the faithful laity,from the Attleboros to the tipof Cape Cod and the Islands,unite with their shepherds inunison as they proclaim Jesusthe Lord.

Bishops, priests, religious,faithful laity - the People ofGod. That wonderful biblicalconcept best describes the com­munity of faith which is thisdiocese.

We give 'thanks today at thealtar of the Lord for these past75 years. We look forward tothe future, firm in our faith inGod, the God of Abraham, ourfather in faith. We believe inJesus Christ, God's son and sonof Mary, who was transfiguredbefore Peter, James and John.We believe in the Holy Spiritwho gives life and strength tothe Church and, under whoseinspiration the Fathers 'of theSecond Vatican Council, gavethe thrust to the renewal of theChurch in our present age.

In the light of that faith, weaccept the challenge and mis­sion of Evangelization, so that,through our words and lovingcare, the message of the Gospelwill reach believers and unbe­lievers, churched and unchurch­ed, with the power it containsto change the lives of men andwomen, and: indeed, to "restoreall things in Christ."

The words from the Euchar­istic Liturgy come to mind. Howvery appropriate they are to ex­press our sentiments on thisjoyous occasion. Indeed, theysum up our prayer today:"Father, you are holy indeed,and all creation rightly givesyou praise. All life, all holinesscomes from you through yourSon, Jesus Christ Our. Lord, bythe working of the Holy Spirit.From age to age you gather apeople to yourself, so that fromeast to west, a perfect offeringmay be made to the glory ofyour name."

May God love and bless youall.

It waspot without significance that Iwished that the cathedra, thebishop's chair, newly locatedand embellished, be the sameone that has been used by mypredecessors. This is intendedto manifest the continuity in theteaching mission of the bishop.

It would be wrong indeed toidentify the development 'of ourDiocese solely with the accom­plishments and dedication of itsbishops.

How can we relate the historyof the Diocese of Fall Riverwithout realizing that everypage must be filled with a re­citation of the zeal, vision, hardwork and sacrifice of hundredsof priests and religious sistersand brothers?

He was followed in the officeof Ordinary by dedicated bish­ops - Daniel Feehan, JamesCassidy. and James Connolly.What an extraordinary privil­ege to have with us today thefourth Bishop of the Diocese,Bishop Connolly. He has beenenjoying retirement for someyears now, and we pray thatthe Lord will continue to granthim happiness and length ofdays..

We were anticipating at thiscelebration the presence ofBishop Gerrard, former Auxi­liary to Bishop 'Connolly andmyself. Unfortunately, hishealth will not permit his at­tendance today. We pray thatthe good Lord will bless' himwith health and strength.

How appropriate likewise forme to. greet with profound re­spect another prelate who graces .us with his presence today, HisEminence Humberto CardinalMedeiros, who was a priest ofthis Diocese for many years.For 14 of those years, he servedfaithfully as Chancellor.

He then became the Bishop ofBrownsville, Texas, and thenArchbishop of Boston. He te­turns to this Cathedral today,where he so many times func­tioned as Master of Ceremonies,

X to the first bishop of the Di- .ocese in an audience: "Fall Riveris my first born."

Recalling Pope St. Pius X,our minds go' in prayerfulthought to his successor, HisHoliness Pope John Paul II~ ourHoly Father. He is with us to­day, not only in spirit, butthrough the presence of hisrepresentative, His Excellency,Archbishop Jean Jadot, theApostolic Delegate. How grate­ful we are to the Pope and tohis representative in this coun­try.

We greet Archbishop Jadotwith sincere' respect and wel­come him once again to our Di­ocese. It is our humble request'that Archbishop Jadot conveyto our Holy Father, on behalfof the People of God of the Di­ocese of Fall River, the express­ion of our loyalty, obedienceand support.

The new Diocese was takenfrom territory. of the Diocese ofProvidence. As the first bishopof Fall River, the Holy Fatherappointed the Most ReverendWillam Stang, an unusuallytalented priest. His priestly ex­perience in Providence andabroad aptly prepared him tobuild the foundation upon whichthe fut.ure pastoral work of theDiocese would so fruitfully rest.

The encyclical also discussesinternal church issues, stressingthe need for unity based on theteachings of Vatican II.

This unity "springs" fromcollegiality, said the encyclical,which praised efforts to increasecollegiality through new organ­izations of bishops, priests andlaymen.

Regarding restrictions on reli­gious freedom, the encyclical al­ludes to communist .govern­ments, but does not mentionthem by name. It defends reli­gious freedom as being essentialto the dignity of man.

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Hisfirst encyclical, published to­day, is on redemption and hu­man dignity and is the hallmarkof his pontificate, said PopeJohn Paul II.

The encyclical, entitled ''Re­demptor Hominis" (Redeemer ofMan), is the first encyclical is­sued since 1968 when Pope PaulVI published "Humane Vitae"(On Human 'Life), reaffirmingthe church's opposition to allforms of artificial means ofbirth control.

In his encyclical, Pope JohnPaul II strongly condemns thearms race and asks for sweep­ing changes in the world's so­cial, political and economic life.

Regarding internal churchmatters, the pope asked for aperiod of consolidation, whicl!stresses traditional Catholic val­ues and the teachings of Vati­can 11._

He reaffirmed traditionalchurch teachings such as theindissolubility of marriagepriestly celibacy and individualconfession as essential for thegranting of forgiveness.

The encyclical criticizes "con­sumer civilization" and totali­tarian regimes restricting reli­gious freedom. It strongly de­fends human rights,. askingstates to pay more attention toapplying human rights than totalking about them.

Jubilee Mass Addressof Archbishop Jean Jadot

Apostolic DelegateIn. the United States

The religious heritage of Massachusetts and theneighboring areas is particularly noteworthy in the historyof the United States of America. The arrival of thePilgrims in 1620 is an event which was prominent in theshaping of the future of America. The Catholic laity ofthe Diocese of Fall River, with their bishops, priests andreligious, have good reason to mark this 75th anniversary.What we celebrate today' is a maturity not just in agebut, more importantly, in unity. of faith. .

There is a catholic - a universal - quality whichhas long been characteristic of the Church here. Manynational groups have made this their home. Over t~e

years, you have become a single family. You are boundtogether by your conviction in the truths of the Catholicfaith shared and nurtured from one generation to the next.

The English and Irish immigrants brought the faithand tpeir talents to the first industries "developed here.The Portuguese from the Azores in whaling and textileoperations and the French Canadians in the mills left theirmark on the early formation of the local Church.

They were joined by Italian, Polish, German andLebanese Catholics in the building up of a communityunified in Christ. Many others have come to contributetheir gifts as well. . -

The Eucharist we celebrate today and every day makesthe Church. It joins together as the members of one bodythose who share the same Body of Christ: "That all maybe one."

The manner in which the one faith is lived out hasconsequences for society itself. It helps transcend thelimitations of a merely parochial outlook. The Eucharistbrings people together in familial unity to serve especiallythe very poor, sharing with them the bread of the earthand the bread of love.

This cathedral is dedicated to the Mother of Christunder the title of Saint Mary of the Assumption. PopeJohn Paul II reminds us that her "Magnificat" sets forth.the mission of the Church today. It enables us to knowthe true meaning of progress, advancement and evan­gelizing or proclai~ing the Good News to the world today.

"For this 'today' with its miseries and its. signs of hope.constitutes, in all countries, a challenge for the 'prophetic'mission of the Church, and at the same time for her'motherly' mission.

"It is a question of opening hearts and mentalities toChrist, to the Gospel, to its scale of values, to contributeto the elevation of the whole man and of all men, toorganize a )\Torld less unworthy of man and of God's planfor him, and, at the same time, to prepare the kingdomof heaven."

Let us pray that we will fulfill" this mission well.The Holy Father sends his paternal greetings to the

Church of Fall River. He salutes as brothers, BishopsCronin, Connolly, and Gerrard and extends to, all hisApostolic Blessing.

The cardinal's future in tileVatican. however; was - uncer­tain. Pope John Paul II had re­confirmed him "for the initialperiod of our pontificate" andhinted· that, he..would soon ap-.point an Italian as secretary of

,state.,

Cardinal Villot was known ascautious and realistic. He cameto the Vatican after 35/ years,~ teaching and pastoral acti­vities in France. Before becom­ing secretary of state, he head­etl,; ~~ Vatican's Congregation,. thEt Clergy.

what he wanted to be when hegrew up. "Mother, I hope to bea priest," he said.

"My boy," responded the nun,"I will pray for you to be apriest - and· a good priest."­She then placed her hands onhis head as if in blessing andturning to the sisters with herspoke to them in Italian. '

rorty years later. when Bish­op Greco's appointment to theepiscopate was announced, thesisters said that her words hadbeen: "Yes, this little boy willbecome a priest and he will ~o

far in the priesthood."Another saint with whom

Bishop Greco had contact wasBlessed Luigi Guanella of Italy,with whom he stayed as a sem­inarian ouring World War I.,Blessed Luigi's work for the re­tarded was a great influence inthe Lotlisian~ bishop's founding

of two homes "where retardedchildren and adults can live to­gether in love and joy from thecradle to the grave."

Bishop Greco was a jqdgeduring the canonization processfor Mother Elizabeth Seton and .he was present for' the canon­ization of St. John Neumann.He is also the only known liv­ing person to have met the lastseven popes.

Second GuessingMOSCOW (NC) - Pope John

Paul II will continue Vaticanefforts to normalize relationswith. communist countries, pre­dicted Science and Religion,atheist periodical published. inMoscow.

A return to .the "policy ofcold war" as in the days of PopePius XII would be counterpro­ductive for the present-daychurch, added the. publication,because anti-communism ledthe church into a cul-de-sac.

person will be individually an­ointed with blessed oil. The en­tire ceremony is planned to lastless than one hour. Members offamilies and friends of the sickare also invited to attend. Aspecial musical program will beprovided by St. Mary's parish.

Manifesting their concern forthe sick, many members of tbecommunity are involved in Sun­day's program. The DistrictCouncil of Catholic Women andthe St. Vincent de 'Paul Societywill provide transportation andmembers of the Catholic Nurses'Guild will be stationed at thechurch in case of medical emer·gencies. Boy and Girl Scoutswill assist in seating the sickand their guests.

Any sick of the area who havequestions about this ceremonyshould contact the priests intheir own parishes for furtherinformation. Officials emphasizethat the event is under jointsponsorship of all parishes andthat all parishioners shouldtherfore look upon it as if itwere in their own parish, andfeel comfortable about attend­ing.

Further explaining the pro­gram, the organizers note thata great change in emphasis re­garding the Sacrament of theSick has occurred in recentyears. Formerly called Extrem~

Unction, the Second VaticanCouncil says of it: "The An­ointing of the Sick is not a sac­rament oniy for those who areat the point of death. By thesacred anointing of the sick,the whole Church commendsthe sick to the suffering andglorified Lord, asking that Hemay lighten their suffering andsave them." .

The Instruction from Rome,which instituted the New Ritefor the Anointing, says of it:"The man who' is . seriously illneeds the special help of God's

.grace in this time of anxiety,lest he be broken in spirit, andsubject to temptations andweakening of faith. This sacra­ment provides the sick personwith the grace of the Holy Spir­it, by which the whole man isbrought to health, trust in' Godis encouraged, and strength isgiven to resist the temptationsof the Evil One and anxietyabout death. Thus, the sick per­son is able not only to bear hissuffering bravely, but to fightagainst it."

IN THE FIRST Jesuit ordi­nation in Fall River since thecommunity came to the dio­cese in 1966, Rev. Mr. JohnT. Crabb, S.J., will be or­dained to the transitionaldiaconate at 7 p.m. Mondayin Holy Name Church, FallRiver, by Bishop Daniel A.Cronin.

Mr. Crabb, son of Mr. andMrs. Robert E. Crabb ofSouth Portland, Me., teachesreligion and is an assistant tothe principal of Bishop COh­nolly High School, Fall River.He is a graduate of BostonCollege and his experiericehas included assignments asa .parish liturgical coordina­tor and a legal aid assistant.He previously taught atBishop Connolly from 1971to 1973.

He will function as a dea­con in local parishes and atthe high school'until his ordi­nation to the priesthood' inJune at Holy Cross College.

The Catholic parishes of theTaunton Deanery will co-spon­sor a special celebration of theSacrament of the Sick at St.Mary's Church at 3 p.m. Thisceremony is intended especiallyfor those with a seriously dis­abling physical or emotional dis­ease, which keeps them fromworking, living a normal life, orgetting about with ease.

Persons suffering from arth­ritis, cancer, heart disease, oldage or nervous disorders, aswell as amputees and quadrip­legics are examples of those forwhom this sacrament is in­tended.

St. Mary's was chosen be­cause of its central location andeasy accessibility for the handi­capped. The ceremony is beingplanned and coordinated bypriests of each of the parishesof the Taunton Deanery.

,Father Walter A. S~livan,

Dean of the Taunton area, willbe principal celebrant of theMass, during which each sick

"Until the current situationin Nicaragua has been satisfac­torily resolved, Bankers TrustCompany does not intend to en­gage in any new financing thatwould increase its role in thatcountry," said Alfred BrittainIII, chairman of the board, in aletter to the Milwaukee-basedprovince.

When the pricipal concelebrantof the Mass, Auxiliary BishopJohn Snyder of Brooklyn heardof those remarks he said that"violence corrupts" and quotedanother pope, John Paul U.

Hispanic HealthServices Scored

NEW YORK (NC) - PuertoRicans living in New York Cityare consistently disadvantaged inhealth care matters comparedwith the total population, butnevertheless rank health as moreimportant than family or moneyin their lives, according to astudy.

A 94-page report, "PuertoRicans and Health: Findingsfrom New York City," is beingdistributed by Fordham Univer­sity's Hispanic Research Center.It surveys the life situation of800,000 Puerto Ricans in NewYork's five boroughs.

Homicide, drug overdoses andcirrhosis of the liver are theleading cause of death in the15-44 age group of Puerto Ric­ans, according to the report.Mental illness and retardation,drug abuse and lead poisoningare the three major health con­cerns of New York City PuertoRicans.

"Hispanic families live in anuntenable situation in compari­son to other groups: high mor·bidity and mortality rates, poor~chools, high dropout rates,lower pay for equal work, ram­pant unemployment, substandardhousing, poor nutrition and ashortage of adequate, accessiblehealth and mental care services,"said Lloyd Rogier, director ofthe Fordham center.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (NC)-Thepastor offered to contribute $100for a grade sch~ol scholarship ifnine parishioners would do thesame. As a result of his pro­posal, 49 students are havingtheir tuitions paid at St. LadislasSchool in Columbus this year.

The scholarship project is theidea of St. Ladislas' pastor,Father Charles Haluska, and hedubs it "SOS" - Sponsor OneStudent. He launched the SOSfund with appeals from the pul­pit, noting that very large fam­ilies in particular could use helpin paying for Catholic education.

- In the 350-family parish, hesaid, "we have a fair number ofelderly who have no children,certainly none in school." Ad­dressing them especially, heasked, ,"Who paid for your edu­cation? In times past there wasno tuition." Since they were alittle better off financially thanyoung parents, he said, theymight w~nt to lend a hand.

"It was not a hard sell. I ap­pealed to their good judgmentanW it worked out the way -Iwant~d. Most of the donors areolder people," Father Haluskasaid.

A widow gave $50 she hadearmarked for a new refrigera­tor; one man turned in a $100bill; and residents of SetonSquare North, where FatherHaluska served as chaplain lastyear, sent $100.

Also received, "as they got alittle extra" was a total of $100from parents of a pre-schooler.The mother realized her childmight one day benefit from sup­port that fills the gap betweentuition and the near $700 actualcost of educating one student,the priest said.
