Francesco Bartoloni, C.PP.S. on la presente edición de El Cáliz Ccomenzamos a reflexionar sobre la celebración del bicentenario de la fundación de la Congregación que ya está a las puertas . La comisión inter - nacional ha programado para la cele - bración del bicentenario de la Congregación un trienio de reflexión y oración . El tema del primer año, que examina la historia ya vivida pero aún no concluida, gira en torno a la siguiente formulación : no sólo tene - mos una historia para recordar y com - partir , sino también una gran historia por completar . La razón central de la celebración del bicentenario es para dar gracias por el carisma que, a través de nosotros y de nuestro compromiso, Dios ha dado a la Iglesia y al mundo .

  • Directors of the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions: 2
    Directors of the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions: 2. Reverend Joseph A. Stephan, 1884-1901 Kevin Abing, 1994 Brouillet's successor, Father Joseph A. Stephan, was known as the "fighting" priest. Perhaps the sobriquet derived from Stephan's Civil War experience. More likely, however, the name reflected Stephan's personality. Whereas Brouillet favored negotiation and compromise, Stephan actively sought confrontation. As director, Stephan infused the BCIM with a "new and aggressive energy."1 Stephan's combativeness often served him and the Bureau well, but all too often, his stubbornness and volatile temper hindered the cause he served so faithfully. As Charles Lusk wrote, Stephan's "zeal for the Indians was unbounded and his courage great." But, Lusk mused, sometimes Stephan's "zeal might have been tempered with greater discretion."2 Joseph A. Stephan was born on November 22, 1822, at Gissigheim, in the duchy of Baden. His father was of Greek descent, and his mother was probably Irish.3 As a youth, Stephan attended the village school in Gissigheim and later served an apprenticeship in the carpentry trade at Koenigsheim. Apparently, the life of a carpenter did not suit Stephan for he eventually joined the military, eventually becoming an officer under Prince Chlodwig K. Victor von Hohenlode. To further his military career, Stephan studied civil engineering at Karlsruhe Polytechnic Institute and philology at the University of Freiburg.4 While studying at Freiburg, disaster struck. From some unknown cause, Stephan was struck blind for two years. Similar to Saint Paul, Stephan turned to God during this trial. He reportedly pledged to become a priest if his eyesight returned.

  • Archbishop's Letter
    Happy 200th Birthday Archbishop Lamy! Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan, People of God, October 2014 The founding bishop of Santa Fe was Jean-Baptiste Lamy. He was born on October 11, 1814 in Lempdes, Puy-de-Dôme, in the Auvergne region of France. The Archdiocese of Clermont in France is celebrating his 200th birthday with several events this month. I have appointed Msgr. Bennett J. Voorhies, pastor of Our Lady of the Annunciation in Albuquerque (he is also dean of Albuquerque Deanery B) as my representative as he is fluent in French. Archbishop Lamy completed his classical studies in the Minor Seminary at Clermont and theological coursework in the Major Seminary at Montferrand, where he was trained by the Sulpician fathers. He was ordained a priest at the age of 24 on December 22, 1838; he asked for and obtained permission to serve as a missionary for Bishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio. As a missionary, he served at several missions in Ohio and Kentucky. Pope Pius IX appointed him as bishop of the recently created Apostolic Vicariate of New Mexico on July 23, 1850; he was only 36 years old. He was consecrated as a bishop on November 24, 1850 by Archbishop Martin Spalding of Louisville; Bishops Jacques-Maurice De Saint Palais of Vincennes and Louis Amadeus Rappe of Cleveland served as co-consecrators. After a long and dangerous journey by horse and wagon train, he finally reached Santa Fe. He entered Santa Fe on August 9, 1851 and was welcomed by Governor James S. Calhoun and many citizens.

Villanova University This article, the first in a series of three articles surveying the contributions of the religious to U.S. Catholic schooling, focuses upon their contributions during the 18th and 19th centuries. ith the colonists establishing a life for themselves on North American Wsoil, the Spanish Franciscans commissioned friars to minister in the New World. In 1606, the first band of friars opened the first Catholic school in the New World, located in St. Augustine, Florida, dedicating it "to teach children Christian doctrine, reading and writing" (Kealey, 1989). Not long afterward, other religious communities followed in these pioneering Franciscans' footsteps. Over the next 294 years—an era during which the colonies revolted against the crown to become the United States of America, citizens fought a civil war to abolish slavery, and millions of Catholic immigrants journeyed from the Old World to the New World—the successors of these pioneering religious contributed mightily to establishing Catholic schooling in the United States. The religious not only staffed schools, they educated the poor and marginalized, solidified the schools' institutional purpose, and provided students with effective values-based instruction. Furthermore, they estab- lished teacher preparation programs to better assure quality teaching for the young. Catholic Education: A Joumal of Inquiry and Practice.

Standing at the window of the Cathedral residence shortly before his death, and noticing the sisters passing by, Arch- bishop John Baptist Purcell commented to a friend, "Ah, there go the dear Sisters of Charity, the first who gave me help in all my undertakings, the zealous pioneer religious of this city, and the first female religious of Ohio,—who were never found wanting, and who always bore the brunt of the battle.' When four Sisters of Charity arrived in Cincinnati, Ohio, in Octo- ber 1829 to open an orphanage and school, they were among the trailblazers in establishing the Roman Catholic Church on a sound footing in a diocese which encompassed almost the entire Northwest Territory. These women were members of a Catholic religious com- munity founded in 1809 by Elizabeth Bayley Seton with its motherhouse in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
