  • The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic
    The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic Dear Readers, The publication on the Ro- man Catholic Church which you are holding in your hands may strike you as history that belongs in a museum. How- ever, if you leaf through it and look around our beauti- ful country, you may discover that it belongs to the present as well. Many changes have taken place. The history of the Church in this country is also the history of this nation. And the history of the nation, of the country’s inhabitants, always has been and still is the history of the Church. The Church’s mission is to serve mankind, and we want to fulfil Jesus’s call: “I did not come to be served but to serve.” The beautiful and unique pastoral constitution of Vatican Coun- cil II, the document “Joy and Hope” begins with the words: “The joys and the hopes, the grief and the anxieties of the men of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the grief and anxieties of the followers of Christ.” This is the task that hundreds of thousands of men and women in this country strive to carry out. According to expert statistical estimates, approximately three million Roman Catholics live in our country along with almost twenty thousand of our Eastern broth- ers and sisters in the Greek Catholic Church, with whom we are in full communion. There are an additional million Christians who belong to a variety of other Churches. Ecumenical cooperation, which was strengthened by decades of persecution and bullying of the Church, is flourishing remarkably in this country.

  • Community Report 2019
    COMMUNITY REPORT 2019 Mission The Catholic Foundation of Michigan inspires charitable giving and assists generous donors providing for the long-term needs of Catholic parishes, schools, ministries and other organizations of southeast Michigan. Invest. Serve. Grow. Serve. Invest. EXTRAORDINARY GROWTH AND 2019 INSPIRING COLLABORATION Dear Friends, You need a strong foundation to build something that will last. In 2016, a group of visionary lay leaders established the Catholic Foundation of Michigan. Since then, the Foundation has grown to meet the needs of our community and beyond, building up parishes, strengthening schools and supporting dynamic ministries. We could not have done this good work in our Catholic community without you. In our third year, the Catholic Foundation of Michigan continues to be blessed with generous support from our donors while supporting the ever-growing need of ministries in our area. During 2019, the Foundation’s portfolio grew to nearly $16 million, and since its founding, it has granted over $3 million. This impressive growth is due in large part to the many people who participate in making an impact in our community. When people work together for a shared goal, dynamic energy and enthusiasm is created that leads to a greater outpouring of generosity. Our report this year celebrates that kind of community-based collaboration. This report tells the stories of faithful and generous collaborators who are passionate about a better tomorrow. You are a part of our story. We are grateful for all that you have offered, and we look forward to continuing to work with you for years to come.

  • Press Conference to Present the New Book VI of the Code of Canon Law
    N. 210601e Tuesday 01.06.2021 Press Conference to present the new Book VI of the Code of Canon Law At 11.30 this morning, a press conference was live-streamed from the Holy See Press Office on the amendments to Book VI of the Code of Canon Law. The speakers were: Archbishop Filippo Iannone, O.Carm., president of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, and Bishop Juan Ignacio Arrieta Ochoa de Chinchetru, secretary of the same Pontifical Council. The following are their interventions: Intervention by Archbishop Filippo Iannone, O.Carm. With the Apostolic Constitution Pascite gregem Dei (“Shepherd God's flock”), dated 23 May 2021, the Solemnity of Pentecost, Pope Francis promulgated the new Book VI of the Code of Canon Law, containing regulations on criminal sanctions in the Church. The legislative text, "so that all may easily be informed and fully understand the provisions in question”, will come into force on 8 December, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. As is well known, this is one of the seven books that make up the Code of Canon Law. “The Code of Canon Law is extremely necessary for the Church”, wrote Pope John Paul II. “Since, indeed, it is organised as a social and visible structure, it must also have norms: in order that its hierarchical and organic structure be visible, in order that the exercise of the functions divinely entrusted to her, especially that of sacred power and of the administration of the sacraments, may be adequately organised; in order that the mutual relations of the faithful may be regulated according to justice based upon charity, with the rights of individuals guaranteed and well defined”.

  • Bishops' Response to IICSA Recommendations
    Catholic Council for the IICSA – Recommendations Action Plan Introduction 1. The IICSA Report into the Roman Catholic Church was published on 10th November 2020. The Report covered the material following the final set of public hearings held the previous year as well as matters emerging from the case studies into the English Benedictine Congregation (Ampleforth, Downside and Ealing Abbeys and their associated schools) and the Archdiocese of Birmingham. 2. The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales met in Plenary Assembly that month, following the publication of the Report. A significant amount of time was dedicated to the analysis of the Report alongside an additional report, commissioned by the Bishops. Mr Ian Elliott, a well-renowned leading independent safeguarding consultant, led a review into the effectiveness of safeguarding structures and operations in the Catholic Church in England and Wales. This extensive root and branch review produced a detailed report including recommendations on how safeguarding structures could be strengthened across the Church. 3. At the end of the meeting, the Bishops’ Conference passed the following resolution: The Bishops’ Conference receives both the Final IICSA Report into the Roman Catholic Church and the Independent Review Report on Safeguarding Structures and Arrangements. a. It accepts the Recommendations of the IICSA Report, noting that the Catholic Council for the IICSA must provide a detailed action plan within 6 months to the Inquiry showing how the Church will implement the Recommendations. b. It accepts fully the Recommendations of the Elliott Report and asks that an Implementation Group be created using members of the Review Steering Committee, to scope the way forward, without delay, so that effective positive change is made in our safeguarding structures and arrangements.
