  • Pope Leaves Mozambique Urging Reconciliation, Care for One Another
    Pope leaves Mozambique urging reconciliation, care for one another MAPUTO, Mozambique (CNS) — When Jesus told his disciples to love one another and pray for their enemies, he meant it — even disciples in a nation like Mozambique, where political tensions have led to violence, war and death, Pope Francis said. The pope ended his visit to Mozambique Sept. 6 with a visit to a health center founded to care for people living with HIV/AIDS and with a Mass nearby in Maputo’s Zimpeto Stadium, where a late winter rain fell intermittently. Bernadete Silva Fungalane came to the Mass from the Diocese of Pemba, in the northern Cabo Delgado province, where outbreaks of violent killings and pillaging have terrorized the population for the past few years. Wearing a headwrap and a skirt made of blue fabric with the pope’s image, she told Catholic News Service that the pope “can help stop the violence, first of all because he unites people. His words about reconciliation are very important for our people.” Before the recitation of the rosary began 90 minutes before the pope’s arrival, Silva Fungalane said, she knew in her heart that she would receive a blessing being at Mass and “all Mozambique will be blessed.” In his homily, Pope Francis insisted Jesus’ message about love and turning the other cheek was not simply a lovely platitude, but a call to courage and strength and trust in God alone. Jesus “is talking about specific enemies, real enemies, the kind he described” in the beatitudes: “those who hate us, exclude us, revile us and defame us,” the pope said.

  • Archbishop John J. Williams
    Record Group I.06.01 John Joseph Williams Papers, 1852-1907 Introduction & Index Archives, Archdiocese of Boston Introduction Biographical Sketch Scope and Content Content List (A-Z) Subject Index Introduction The John Joseph Williams papers held by the Archives of the Archdiocese of Boston span the years 1852-1907. The collection consists of original letters and documents from the year that Williams was assigned to what was to become St. Joseph’s parish in the West End of Boston until his death 55 years later. The papers number approximately 815 items and are contained in 282 folders arranged alphabetically by correspondent in five manuscript boxes. It is probable that the Williams papers were first put into some kind of order in the Archives in the 1930s when Fathers Robert h. Lord, John E. Sexton, and Edward T. Harrington were researching and writing their History of the Archdiocese of Boston, 1604-1943. At this time the original manuscripts held by the Archdiocese were placed individually in folders and arranged chronologically in file cabinets. One cabinet contained original material and another held typescripts, photostats, and other copies of documents held by other Archives that were gathered as part of the research effort. The outside of each folder noted the author and the recipient of the letter. In addition, several letters were sound in another section of the Archives. It is apparent that these letters were placed in the Archives after Lord, Sexton, and Harrington had completed their initial arrangement of manuscripts relating to the history of the Archdiocese of Boston. In preparing this collection of the original Williams material, a calendar was produced.

  • Catholic Legal Immigration Network – Convening 2019 Westin Convention Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania May 29, 2019
    1 ADDRESS OF ARCHBISHOP CHRISTOPHE PIERRE, APOSTOLIC NUNCIO TO THE UNITED STATES CATHOLIC LEGAL IMMIGRATION NETWORK – CONVENING 2019 WESTIN CONVENTION CENTER, PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA MAY 29, 2019 INTRODUCTION Good evening! I am happy to be here as you address the theme of migration at the 2019 Convening of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network. I want to thank Anna Marie Gallagher, the Executive Director of CLINIC, as well as Bishop Vann, the Chairman of the Board, and Bishop Zubik for their kind invitation to be with you. As the Apostolic Nuncio, the representative of the Holy Father to the United States, I want to express the spiritual closeness and paternal affection of the Holy Father and to convey Pope Francis’ gratitude for your efforts directed toward the care of migrants. A theme close to the heart of the Holy Father is the subject of migration and refugees. On his recent trip to Morocco at the end of March, when meeting with refugees and seeing their woundedness, the Holy Father remarked that this is: “A wound that cries out to heaven. We do not want our response to be one of indifference and silence (cf. Ex 3:7). This is all the more the case today, when we witness many millions of refugees and other forced migrants seeking international protection, to say nothing of the victims of human trafficking and the new forms of enslavement being perpetrated by criminal organizations. No one can be indifferent to this painful situation.” (POPE FRANCIS, ADDRESS DURING MEETING WITH MIGRANTS, 30 MARCH 2019) From the beginning of his Pontificate, the Holy Father has made their situation one of his priorities, beginning with his visit to Lampedusa.

Cardinal O’Malley has been a member of the foundation’s board for 12 years.

Cardinal O’Malley praised the work of the foundation, through whose grants, he said, “families and individuals in underserved areas around the world have experienced profound improvements in their lives.” “Churches, education and health care pro- grams, evangelization and vocation efforts all have been made possible through the extraordi- nary generosity of the women and men who work closely with the Holy See in providing funding for our brothers and sisters in need,” he stated.
