  • USCCB Committee on Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations
    NRVC chose to take a closer look at our future, challenges, and hopes... Dear Friend of NRVC, In preparation for the 2008 presidential election, Americans around the country examined their values and priorities, and compared them with those of our two presidential candidates, so that they would be well-informed about the country’s present challenges and their own hopes for the country’s future. In a similar fashion, last year NRVC chose to take a closer look at our future, our challenges and our hopes so that we can be well- informed about what lies ahead. Our first priority was to launch a major study on vocations to religious life, in collaboration with the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA), which we did in the fall. When the results are finally released later this year, the “best practices” gleaned from this study will serve as a guide for religious insti- tutes to develop their future, vocation strategies. Complementing this project, the annual VISION survey from VocationMatch.com in- dicates a rise in the number of inquiries to religious life for the third year in a row—another hopeful sign for our future! Our Executive Board is also looking to secure the future of NRVC by identifying our major priorities for the coming three years as our previous strategic plan will be completed in 2010. The need, the energy, and the passion to promote new membership in religious life are there. I felt it in Louisville, KY, where approximately 450 vocation ministers processed through the downtown streets raising vocation awareness.

  • Fastpitch Softball Coaching Kit
    FASTPITCH SOFTBALL COACHING KIT www.slugger.com Dear Coach, It wasn’t that long ago that I was playing in youth leagues. I have fond memories of the fun I had and the friends I made on those fields. In fact, much of what I know about softball was learned in the youth leagues. And the most important part of my early softball education began with my youth league coaches. All of us on the Louisville Slugger Advisory Staff would like to thank you for your involvement in youth league softball and baseball. It may sound cliché, but it’s true: You will get just as much out of the experience as your kids will. The purpose of this Youth League Coaching Kit is to help you become a better coach. Inside, you’ll find a valuable playing guide with instructions on hitting, fielding, conducting practices and even dealing with your players’ parents. We’ve also included a chart to help you select the proper bat for your players. We’ve packed a wealth of softball knowledge into this year’s Youth League Coaching Kit. We hope you and your players will benefit greatly from this information. So take time now to thoroughly read this material before your team takes the field. Who knows, maybe a few years from now you’ll see one of your former players competing for a gold medal in the Olympics. Good luck on a fun and successful season! Sincerely, Jessica Mendoza U.S. Olympic Softball Team Member, Louisville Slugger Advisory Staff When conducting a practice, SUGGESTED it’s important to use your time PRACTICE efficiently.

    Let us remember: What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander. Concentration camp survivor Elie Wiesel Our “Catholic” Bishops’ Depraved and Calculated Indifference: One Devastating Result Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam Roman Catholic Faithful Spring 2003 Our Mission Statement Roman Catholic Faithful, Inc. (RCF) is a lay organization, with many religious members, dedicated to promoting orthodox Catholic teaching and fighting heterodoxy and corruption within the Catholic hierarchy. Our Philosophy While we accept the authority of the Holy Father and all bishops in union with him, we will not sit idly by, nor blindly follow, while many in the hierarchy allow the Holy Catholic Church to be torn apart and assaulted by the forces of Modernism, Syncretism, Heresy, and the gross immorality of some of its clergy. As parents and teachers, we will not allow our Catholic youth to be robbed of their faith or have their innocence destroyed in the name of “tolerance”, “ecumenism”, “diversity” or any other politically correct ideology of the day. We object to individuals or groups of individuals being given access to Catholic schools, churches, and Church property to promote any belief, teaching, or idea contrary to Catholic teaching as defined by two thousand years of Tradition and Church teaching. We expect every Catholic priest to follow the disciplines of the Catholic Church as he promised. We expect every bishop to do all he can to safeguard the souls of our children by exercising his authority to ensure proper teaching within Catholic schools and parish religion programs.
