Official
Bishops' Relief Collection
D To the Clergy,, Religious and Faithful of
the Archdiocese of Seattle
Dearly Beloved in Christ:
The annual Bishops' Relief Collection will be
taken up in every Catholic Church throughout
the United S t a t e s on Laetare Sunday March
28. The g e n e r o u s contributions of
the faithful to this national collection have, for
the past 20 years, enabled the bishops of the coun-
try to sponsor the tremendous work of Catholic
D Relief Services. This agency has aided more than
30 million needy, men, women and children, in
Southern Europe, Africa, the Near and Far East
and Latin AmerJ.ca. It has distributed over one and
three-quarter billion pounds of surplus food, clothed
people in every part of the world and promoted so-
cial, educational, health and welfare programs in
over 70 countries. It is the largest work of mercy
and charity and compassion ever conducted by a
non-government agency.
D Not too long our Holy Father, Pope Paul
ago,
VI, quoting from Pope John's two great encyclicals,
"Mother and Teacher" and "Peace on Earth",
stressed the maternal anxiety of the whole Church
for the poor, the needy, the afflicted, the hungry,
the suffering and the sorrowing.
Last year we contributed the sum of $70,381.86 to
this important nationwide appeal. This outstanding
response has been increasing year by year and I am
D confident that your generous interest in this special
appeal will again this year represent an eloquent
total of gratitude to the Good Shepherd for the i-
total of gratitude to the Good Shepherd for the in-
He has showered upon each and every one of us and
which we take so much for granted. If we could
forget our troubles as easily as we forget our bless-
ings, we would probably be a happy people.
With every best wish and blessing, I am
Devotedly yours in Christ,
N. B. The foregoing letter is to be read at all
Masses in every Church and Chapel in the
Archdiocese on Sunday, March 21.

Leffer Tells FaCal
Sg¢. Fox Acciden¢
Word has come from friends honeymooners . . . They were
of the family in Ireland giving
a first hand account of the
death of Bartholomew Fox,
father of Father John P. Fox,
pastor of Sacred Heart Church,
Battle Ground. Mr. Fox was a
sergeant in the police force
there.
In a letter to the Most Rever-
end Thomas Gill, Auxiliary
Bishop of Seattle, the tragic
circumstances of Mr. Fox's
death are described.
g, "We were all deeply shocked
land heart-broken over the trag-
edy," the letter begins.
"To add to our sorrow a hun-
dred-fold Sergeant Qd Mrs.
Fox with their youngest daugh-
ter, Eileen, had just left our
house an hour before the death.
"They had recently purchased
a house-site in Headford, four
miles from Shrule and had in-
tended to have a bungalow built
when he retired inautumn.
"It was their wedding anni-
versary. They were happy as
full of the dream house but his
heavenly home was only an
hour ahead.
"He had Holy Communion
that morning and a passing
priest annointed him as he
carried the oils."
"He was killed about 500
yards from his own house on the
Galway road after leaving us.
Some mischief maker had set
fire to roadside bushes and
there was dense smoke which
spoilt their vision. The driver
of the on-coming car (from Gal-
way) Wobbled directly across
the road and there was a head-
on collision.
"It is generally said Mr. Fox
hit the front and was thrown
back off the broken seat. He

died immediately.
"Mrs. Fox and Eileen es-
caped with minor injuries. I
have visited them since the
funeral and they are full of
courage and resignation. They
are truly marvelous."

lPope Pleads for, World Needy
YORK (NC) m wide relief agency mamtamed December, the Pope told "We all realize more vividly
Pope Paul VI appealed to by American Catholics. the U.S. Bishops he saw first that these hungry and sick,
U. S. Catholics to assist
him in caring for more than
a billion persons throughout the
world who "are hungry and
homeless, cold and sick, lack-
ing those basic needs which
minister to human dignity and
spiritual growth."
The Pope reminded Amer-
icans they can aid the gigantic
mission of mercy by generous
contributions to the Laetare
Sunday collection for the U.S.
Bishops' Relief Fund which will
be taken up, generally, in parish
churches throughout the coun-
try March 28.
The papal plea was made in a
letter to the U•S. archbishops
and bishops, released here at
headquarters of Catholic Re-
lief Services -- National Cath-
olic Welfare Conference, world-
The agency, which gets its
principal snpport from the
Bishops Relief Fund, operat-
ed a program last year
which assisted 40 m i 11 i o n
needy persons in 73 countries
of the world.
"Laetare Sunday will find
you again asking your generous
people, themselves also now
more deeply conscious of the
plight of their needy brothers
and sisters of God's great fam-
ily, to' contribute to the Bishops'
Relief Fund," Pope Paul said
in his letter. "We would have
you convey to them our warm
appreciation f o r shouldering
with us the burden, increasingly
heavy, of feeding and caring for
the flock of Chirst, His people
everywhere."
On his historical visit to India
hand some of the fruits of your
practical love of neighbor."
"We are moved by the effec-
tiveness of this brotherly as-
sistance, and we cannot but en-
courage you, venerable
brothers, to continue and to in-
crease this program on behalf
of the poor and undernourished
peoples of the world. Such proof
of fraternal affection and sym-
pathetic understanding cannot
but contribute to bring about
peace based on justice, charity
and mutual respect," Pope Paul
wrote.
In its globe-girdling work
of mercy, CRS-NCWC dispens-
es food, clothing, medicines
and other relief materials
solely on the basis of need--
without regard to religion,
color or national origin.
these who are without home and
without hgpe, wherever they
live, are the fatherly concern
of all of us who have the pastor-
al care of souls, and the fra-
ternal concern of mankind in
general," Pope Paul wrote to
the U. S. bishops.
"The poor, and those in what-
ever need, are not mere ab-
stractions, not mere numbers,
not only staggering statistics.
Like us and our flocks, they are
flesh and bone, heart and soul.
They have eyes and ears, they
walk and talk and hope and
yearn. Like us they suffer when
in need, and their needs .are
greater and more elemental
than we can really appreciate.
In a word, these poor are our
brothers," Pope Paul continued.

Hibernians
Or Baptists?

--Red-headed Bishop Bernard
Flanagan mrued down an invi-

changed," said Bishop Flana-
gan.

vitation from the Hiberians to
join them for the night. "But I
had to turn them down," he
said. "Times have certainly
changed."

Italian Regime
R 0 M E (NC) -- The center-
- left coalition government of
Premier Aldo Moro has won a
vote of confidence in the ISai-
ah Chamber of Deputies after
several days of debate On the
Communist-backed motion.
The no-confidence motion was
defeated 329 to 223 March 13.
Moro's government was able to
override Communist maneu-
vers by shuffling the cabinet
and bringing ex-Premier Fan-

During the debate prior to
the vote, socialist deputies once
more called for a review of the
concordat between Italy and
the Holy See. They maintained

action in Rome which closed the
performance of "The Deputy,"
