Imprimatur: Imprimátur: +Barry C. Knestout +Barry C. Knestout Bishop of Richmond Obispo de Richmond ©2019 Catholic Diocese of Richmond ©2019 Diócesis Católica de Richmond REPLICA OF THE APOSTOLIC BRIEF FOUNDING THE DIOCESE OF RICHMOND 6 TRANSLATION OF THE APOSTOLIC BRIEF FOUNDING THE DIOCESE OF RICHMOND1 To Our Beloved Son Patrick Kelly, Priest of the Diocese of Ossory in Ireland, elected as the New Bishop of Richmond Pope Pius VII Beloved Son, Greeting and Apostolic blessing Among the multiple and weightiest responsibilities of Our Apostolate, that which concerns the status of Dioceses spread throughout the whole world holds no small part. For indeed it pertains to our supreme power and judgment to regulate them and to set or change their boundaries as We determine leads to the benefit of the faithful, taking into account the times and circumstances. Since now for a long time it has been implored of Us that the State of Virginia in North America, which was enclosed in the Diocese of Baltimore, be erected into a new Diocese separated from it, and since it seems to be very expedient for the extinction of the schisms which have arisen in it that a Bishop of its own be established in it; even more because the State of Maryland, which is subject to the Archbishop of Baltimore and which is filled with a very large number of Catholics, furnishes the same Archbishop with such ample matter for pastoral zeal that he can with difficulty extend his care to other States, We, upon the advice of Our Venerable Brothers the Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church set over the affairs of the Propagation of the Faith, have established and decreed that, after the separation of the said State from the Diocese of Baltimore, a new Episcopal Church, suffragan of Baltimore, should be erected at Richmond, which is the capital city of Virginia, and that it should embrace the whole State of Virginia, not including [the District of] Columbia, as by Apostolic Authority and the tenor of the present decree We separate and erect it as a new Episcopal Church of Richmond, suffragan of Baltimore, with all the rights and prerogatives belonging to these kinds of Churches according to the Sacred Canons. We also, intending with paternal and solicitous zeal, in which no one besides Ourselves could or can inject himself, to provide quickly and felicitously for the aforesaid new Episcopal Church thus erected, after a diligent and fruitful deliberation that We have had with Our aforesaid Venerable Brothers the Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church in charge of the affairs of the Propagation of the Faith about appointing a person for the same new Church, have directed the eyes of Our mind at last to You, who have been procreated from a legitimate matrimony and are also of legitimate age and of whose purity of life, probity of conduct, as well as piety, assiduity, and learning and zeal for the Christian Religion and the Catholic Faith, and foresight in spiritual matters and caution in temporal matters trustworthy testimonies are furnished, all these things having been considered with due reflection, absolving you and believing that you will be absolved from any sentences of excommunication, suspension, or interdict, and from any other ecclesiastical sentences, censures, and penalties imposed by law, or by man on any occasion, or serially, We provide this same new Episcopal Church of Richmond with your person acceptable to Us and the named Cardinals because of the claim of your merits. And by the advice of the same Brothers, by the afore-mentioned authority and tenor, We set you over it as Bishop and Pastor, fully committing to you the care, government, and administration of the Church of Richmond in spiritual and temporal matters, trusting in Him, who gives grace and bestows gifts, that as the Lord guides your actions the aforesaid Church of Richmond will be beneficially and prosperously directed though your diligence of foresight and zeal and will experience pleasing increases in spiritual and temporal matters. Accepting therefore with ready devotion of spirit the Lord’s yoke laid on your shoulders, may you so faithfully and prudently carry out the aforesaid care and administration that the Church of Richmond may rejoice that it has been committed to a prudent governor and productive administrator. And may you, besides the reward of eternal retribution, more copiously merit to attain therefrom also Our and the Apostolic See’s blessing and favor. Given at Rome at St. Mary Major under the ring of the Fisherman, the Eleventh Day of July in the year 1820, the twenty-first of Our Pontificate. H. Card. Consalvi2 1 Rev. Msgr. Robert Trisco, professor emeritus of Church history at the Catholic University of America (Washington, DC), made this translation (2018), which is based on the collated transcript that he also prepared. 2 Hercules Cardinalis Consalvi. The name refers to Ercole (Latin: Hercules) Consalvi, a deacon and cardinal of the Church. At the time the Diocese of Richmond was founded, he was the secretary of state (1814–1823), and later became the pro-prefect (1822–1824) and then prefect (1824) of Propaganda Fidei. (Cardinal Francesco Fontana was the prefect of Propaganda Fidei [1818–1822] when the diocese was founded.) 7 SPECIAL ITEMS TO NOTE ABOUT THIS LITURGY For this Mass, the relics of three holy men and women associated with the Diocese of Richmond have been placed in the sanctuary: St. John Nepomucene Neumann, St. Katharine Drexel, and St. Vincent de Paul. Originally from Bohemia (present-day Czech Republic), where he attended the seminary, St. John Neumann (1811–1860) came to the United States as a missionary, was ordained a priest, and later joined the Redemptorist order. He devoted himself to the pastoral care of German immigrants in New York state, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore. In 1842, he preached an eight-day mission to German Catholics in the basement of St. Peter’s Cathedral in Richmond. The community there had been meeting regularly for Mass (1843) and eventually formed St. Mary’s (1848–1937), the first national parish in the Diocese of Richmond. Neumann was appointed the fourth bishop of Philadelphia (1852), where he encouraged and facilitated the establishment of numerous Catholic schools and brought several religious orders to that diocese. John Nepomucene Neumann was the first American bishop to be canonized (1977). 8 SPECIAL ITEMS TO NOTE ABOUT THIS LITURGY St. Katharine Drexel (1858–1955) used the fortune she inherited to support charitable causes, including the work of the religious order she founded to care for African Americans and Native Americans (Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament). Together with her half-sister, Louise Morrell, Drexel opened two schools in the Diocese of Richmond for African Americans, both of them in Rock Castle (Powhatan County): St. Emma’s Industrial and Agricultural College for boys (1895), and St. Francis de Sales School for girls (1899). Mother Drexel herself visited the schools in Rock Castle (1900), which provided vocational training, secondary education, and religious instruction to generations of African Americans.

It is depicted in armory always with wings close and in pro­ file, with no visable legs or feet. The martlet is the appropriate "differ­ ence" or mark of cadency for the fourth son. It is modernly used to signify, as the bird seldom lights on land, so younger brothers have little land to rest on but the wings of their own endeavor, who, like the swallows, become the travellers in their season.

(December 2011) William Francis Collopy, B.A., Iona College; M.L.A., University of St. Thomas Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Harold C. Livesay The dissertation argues that Catholicism’s theology and sacramentalism constituted the foundation of a ministry that from Reconstruction through the 1930s extended the religion’s reach in the U.S. beyond its historical loci of numerical strength and influence to African American communities in the South. The dissertation draws on decrees of the Council of Trent, papal encyclicals, pastoral letters, theological treatises, and Catholic interpretation of Judeo-Christian scripture to demonstrate that the Church’s beliefs manifestly shaped its African American ministry.

    MCMAHON PARATER SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION 2016-17 ANNUAL REPORT 7800 Carousel Lane | Richmond, VA 23294 • www.McMahonParater.org MCMAHON PARATER SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION A Reflection from His Excellency, Most. Rev. Barry C. Knestout W hen the late Bishop Francis X. DiLorenzo established the McMahon Parater Foundation, his intentions were clear: that every parent who wants a Catholic education for their child should encounter no insurmountable obstacles. When cost is the obstacle, we must find a way to remove that obstacle. The Board and staff of McMahon Parater see our efforts as a support for and a participation in the Church’s mission to share the Good News. While the Foundation is about providing a quality education, it is also about bringing young Catholics to a school where their faith is integrated into their academic and character formation, helping students to achieve their goals. Side by side with scholastic efforts are prayer and service to our communities. Pope Francis said, “Our educational work should have a purpose: to elicit a change in our students, to make them grow in wisdom, to help them undergo a transformation, to provide them with knowledge, with new feelings and, at the same time, achievable ideals.” The work of the McMahon Parater Scholarship Foundation is likewise transformative. We believe that removing financial barriers to Catholic education encourages families, strengthens their faith, and helps them to understand and to live Christ’s teachings together. I thank all of the donors and volunteers who have brought us this far, and I look forward to working together to assist even more families in the future.

We must ~onstantly strive to know and care for each other. It is our sincere hope that incorporating the pictures of members of our present parish family will help us to build and deepen that corrrnunity that Vatican II urges us to build.
