  • J! M! Most Holy Father! the Sacred Congregation Sent Archbishop Carl
    1275: To Pope Pius IX [December 9, 1852] J! M! Most Holy Father! The Sacred Congregation sent Archbishop Carl August Count von Reisach’s plan with regard to the rule and constitutions of the Poor School Sisters to the respectfully undersigned with the directive to comment on it and then to present these remarks to the Holy See. Since I considered this responsibility too serious and too extensive for me to handle alone, I felt obliged to share the plan with my companions, the professed sisters, in order to hear their opinions and advice, because this would involve all of us for time and eternity. The sisters also need to know about this plan, because if it is accepted, they would have to profess their vows and live according to it. After consultation with the sisters, I now submit the following remarks regarding the plan graciously shared with us: 1. The archbishop drew up this plan and presented it to the Holy See in order to provide the Religious Institute of the Poor School Sisters with a canonical form and foundation—that is, statutes approved by the Church—a caring endeavor which we recognize with respect and gratitude. 2. The Society of the Poor School Sisters does not want to evade Church prescripts. The Poor School Sisters desire absolutely nothing other than to live in accordance with the mind and spirit of the Holy Catholic Church so that it can follow its calling on a secure path and count on God’s blessing and help. 3. Just as every order has its own statutes and rules corresponding to the purpose designated by its founders, the Poor School Sisters also desire and require a constitution and rules that provide for their main purpose, that is, the education and character formation of girls and young women.

  • Notre Dame “Cousins” Share Roots, Charism Throughout the World. by Ruth Shanklin Jackson, Mankato Communications Director NAMA NEWS, March 2006
    Notre Dame “Cousins” share Roots, Charism throughout the World. By Ruth Shanklin Jackson, Mankato Communications Director NAMA NEWS, March 2006 Independent congregations, all of whom can trace their origins to Peter Fourier and Alix LeClerc, have met every two or three years since 1983, with the last meeting held in Munich in September 2004. These Notre Dame “cousins” have elements of their charism that have been identified as common to all or most of these congregations, including education, poverty, unity, devotion to Mary and Eucharist. During the 1995 meeting of the Notre Dame “cousins” one of the speakers had used the image of fire in speaking of the nature of charism. At the end of the meeting, one general superior “returned to that image in her evaluation, stating that for her, the association did not represent congregations that have traveled separate ways but women that have been ignited by the same spark and continue to share the light that they have received.” (Sister Patricia Flynn, Circular 64/95, November 21, 1995) The woman who was the impetus for this, Blessed Alix Le Clerc, was convinced that God was calling her to the education of young girls whom she believed were regarded as “worthless straw.” Because no established structures existed for such a vision, she gathered five companions and with St. Peter Fourier, who was the local pastor, made plans for a new religious congregation. The Canonesses of St. Augustine of the Congregation of Notre Dame made their first consecration together on December 25, 1597. In spite of poverty, misunderstanding, and resistance from church authorities, the new venture flourished and spread throughout France and into southern Germany.

  • Alix Leclerc Catholic.Net
    Alix LeClerc Catholic.net Roman martyrology: In the city of Nancy in France, Blessed Maria Teresa of Jesus (Alix) Le Clerc, virgin, who, along with Peter Fourier, founded the Congregation of The Augustinian Canonesses of the Congregation of Notre Dame. Under the Rule of St. Augustine for education of the young (1622). Beatification date: 4 May 1947 by Pope Pius XII SHORT BIOGRPAPHY Co-founder of The Augustinian Canonesses of the Congregation of Notre Dame. Alix was born February 2, 1576 in Remiremont, Vosges, France. As a teenaged daughter of a prosperous family, she enjoyed music and dancing. At the age of 19, however, she had the first of a series of “vision-dreams.” Our Lady appeared to her dressed in a sisters’ habit that Alix did not recognize. “Come, daughter,” said Mary, “and I will welcome you.” From that day on, Alix took a more serious view of life and aspired to God’s special service. Soon afterwards, her family moved to the town of Mattaincourt. The pastor of Mattaincourt was St. Peter Fourier, a diocesan priest who was successfully promoting a revival of religion. Father Peter agreed with Alix’s devout father that his daughter should enter a convent. But she refused to join an order that was cloistered, saying that she would rather set up a convent whose members were free to engage in “active work.” In 1597 Alix and three other women were allowed by Father Fourier to dedicate their lives to God. In 1598 they took up residence in a nearby dwelling, determined to educate poor girls without charge.

  • 127-San Pietro in Vaticano.Pages
    Saint Peter’s Basilica Vatican City The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter (Latin: Basilica Sancti Petri), officially known in Italian as the Basilica Papale di San Pietro in Vaticano and commonly known as Saint Peter's Basilica, is located within the Vatican City. Saint Peter's Basilica has the largest interior of any Christian church in the world, holding 60,000 people. It is the symbolic "Mother church" of the Catholic Church and is regarded as one of the holiest Christian sites. It has been described as "holding a unique position in the Christian world" and as "the greatest of all churches of Christendom". In Catholic tradition, it is the burial site of its namesake Saint Peter, who was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and, according to tradition, first Bishop of Rome and therefore first in the line of the papal succession. Tradition and some historical evidence hold that Saint Peter's tomb is directly below the altar of the basilica. For this reason, many Popes have been interred at St Peter's since the Early Christian period. There has been a church on this site since the 4th century. Construction of the present basilica, over the old Constantinian basilica, began on April 18, 1506 and was completed on November 18, 1626. Saint Peter's is famous as a place of pilgrimage, for its liturgical functions and for its historical associations. It is associated with the papacy, with the Counter-reformation and with numerous artists, most significantly Michelangelo. As a work of architecture, it is regarded as the greatest building of its age.

  • The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension
    The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension Introduction History of Martyrologies The Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. The official Latin version of the Martyrology contains a short liturgical service the daily reading of the Martyrology’s list of saints for each day. The oldest surviving martyologies are the lists of martyrs and bishops from the fourth-century Roman Church. The martyrology wrongly attributed to St. Jerome was written in Ital in the second half of the fifth century, but all the surviving versions of it come from Gaul. It is a simple martyrology, which lists the name of the saint and the date and place of death of the saint. Historical martyrologies give a brief history of the saints. In the eighth and ninth centuries, St. Bede, Rhabanus Maurus, and Usuard all wrote historical martyrologies. The Roman Martyrology, based primarily on Usuard’s, was first published in 1583, and the edition of 1584 was made normative in the Roman rite by Gregory XIII. The post-Vatican II revision appeared first in 2001. A revision that corrected typographical errors and added 117 people canonized by Pope John Paul II between 2001 and 2004, appeared in 2005.1 The Purpose and Principles of This Martyology The primary purpose of this martyrology is to provide an historically accurate text for liturgical use at the monastery, where each day after noon prayer it is customary to read the martyrology for the following day. Some things in this martyrology are specific to the Monastery of the Ascension: namesdays of the members of the community, anniversaries of members of the community who have died, a few references to specific events or saints of local interest.
