Celebrating 50 Years 16 The 1966-20 50 th A nniv atholic itness ersary C W The Newspaper of the Diocese of Harrisburg January 22, 2016 Vol. 50 no. 1 Celebrating 50 Years This month marks the golden anniversary of The Catholic Witness, which published its founding subscribers’ edition on January 13, 1966. Iconic images from the past 50 years are featured in this anniversary edition, as well as the founding letter from Bishop George Leech, and a congratulatory letter from Bishop Ronald Gainer. We’ll continue to celebrate our anniversary throughout the year with reprints of photos as well as interviews with former staff members. We thank our readers for their loyalty, and celebrate this milestone with you!

You see readily why it bears the name of The Catholic Witness. … On the part of all of us, please God, The Catholic Witness will be of personal and practical help as we try and keep on trying to be loyal and true witnesses for Christ in our daily living, spiritual and temporal, in private and in public. Godspeed The Catholic Wit- ness on its errand of truth and love.” These words, taken from the letter of Bishop George Leech, introduced the diocese to its new diocesan newspaper. Bish- op Leech prayed that God would speed the new initiative on its errand. And God has favorably responded to that prayer. Over these 50 years The Catholic Witness has been faithful to its mission to spread the Gospel and to preserve in text and photos the events, programs and activities of the dio- cese, parishes, schools, families and individuals – reporting and preserving the ways we in the Diocese of Harrisburg sanctify, celebrate, evangelize, educate and serve in the name of Christ. We have just concluded our annual celebration of God’s self-commu- nication in Christ. The first heralds of the Good News were angels, then shepherds, then wise men. Now we are entrusted with the joy and duty of communicating the truth about Jesus and our salvation in Him. Over these 50 years communications media has undergone breathtak- ing developments. Yet print media maintains an important place. In fact, surveys consistently show that the majority of Catholics rank their parish bulletins and diocesan newspapers as the primary source of information regarding the church and the faith. On behalf of all the faithful in our diocese I acknowledge with sincere gratitude all those who for half a century have maintained and advanced The Catholic Witness, especially our dedicated, gifted staff today. Congrat- ulations and blessings on our diocesan newspaper at its Golden Anniver- sary. May God speed The Catholic Witness on its errand of truth and love through its next 50 years.

By visiting the ailing newborns and the dying on the same day, the Vatican said, Pope Francis “wanted to give a strong sign of the importance of life from its first moment to its natural end.” “Welcoming life and guaranteeing its dignity at every moment of its de- velopment is a teaching Pope Francis has underlined many times,” the state- ment said. With the September visits he wanted to put “a concrete and tangible seal” on his teaching that living a life of mercy means giving special attention to those in the most precarious situations. During the Mercy Friday visits, Pope Francis has spent time with migrants, the aged, at a recovery community for former drug addicts and at a shelter for women rescued from human trafficking and prostitution.

    Theme for World Mission Sunday 2021 “We cannot keep from speaking about what we have seen and heard” (Acts 4:20) 1 Meditations on the Biblical Readings of the Holy Mass of the Missionary Month October 2021 (prepared by the community of Trappist nuns of Vitorchiano - Italy at the request of the Pontifical Missionary Union) 2 © copyright Missio Austria/Clemens Fuchs For further information on the figure of Venerable Pauline Jaricot: http://paulinejaricot.opm-france.org/ MASSON Catherine, Pauline Jaricot, 1799-1862 Biographie, Les Éditions du Cerf, Paris, 2019 3 FOREWARD After the positive experience of the Extraordinary Missionary Month October 2019 (EMM OCT2019) with the theme "Baptized and Sent: The Church of Christ on mission in the world", some national directorates of the Pontifical Mission Societies (PMS) have suggested that each year the International Secretariat of the Pontifical Missionary Union (PMU) should develop an instrument for prayer and missionary formation through commentaries and meditations on the biblical readings proposed in the daily Celebration of the Liturgy of the Eucharist during the Missionary Month of October. These reflections for the Missionary Month October 2021, only available digitally in English, Italian, Spanish, French and Portuguese, represent a first attempt to respond to these suggestions. I would also like to thank all the national directorates who collaborated on the various translations. It is above all a working tool, not an exhaustive text or established theological spiritual reflections. The reference is the Word of God proclaimed in the Liturgy and prayed in the personal and community meditation. Given to the diverse English liturgical books used in English speaking countries, the native English-speaking translator referred to the daily readings offered by the Lectionary for the Sundays in Ordinary Time of Year B and by the Lectionary for weekdays of the odd-numbered years for the month of October of the year 2021, approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

  • Message of the Holy Father Francis to the Pontifical Mission Societies
    N. 200521a Thursday 21.05.2020 Message of the Holy Father Francis to the Pontifical Mission Societies The following is the message sent by the Holy Father Francis to the Pontifical Mission Societies: Message of the Holy Father When they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth”. When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight (Acts 1:6-9). The Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God. Nonetheless, they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs (Mk 16:19-20). Then he led them [out] as far as Bethany, raised his hands, and blessed them. As he blessed them, he parted from them and was taken up to heaven. They did him homage and then returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and they were continually in the temple praising God (Lk 24:50-53). * * * Dear brothers and sisters, This year I had decided to participate in your annual General Assembly on Thursday, 21 May, the feast of the Ascension of the Lord.

  • Could Saint Paul Have Been the First President of the Pontifical Mission Societies?
    Could Saint Paul have been the first President of the Pontifical Mission Societies? Fr. Karl Josef Wallner (Austria) Continental Meeting of the Nationaldirectors of Europe in Amsterdam, 13. March 2019 1. The PMS: Fundraising as instrument of Faithraising Pauline Jaricot, with the foundation of her missionary association for the propagation of faith, has created an instrument of „democratization“ of participation in the mission of the Church. While in the 16th century it were only kings and noblemen who promoted the mis- sion of the newly discovered continents, mixed with the sinful motive of colonization, in the 19th century Pauline Jaricot created a spiritual missionary movement for the whole people of God. Each individual Catholic should actively participate in the missionary work of the Church. Her motto was: „Every day a prayer, and regularly a sous for the missions.” In the “Living Rosary” she gathered more than 2 million Catholics to pray daily a decade of the ro- sary for one of the five continents. The Mission thus became a common spiritual and chari- table effort of all the faithful. She provoked a mentality of taking care of the missions. Eve- ryone was invited and everyone was able to make their own contribution. Giving prayers and giving money for the missionary work of the church became “natural” for every faithful and they were happy, that they could contribute to the growth of the church and in the sav- ing of souls. Pauline Jaricot thus anticipated in a practical way the statement of the Mission Decree of the Second Vatican Council, according to which the Church (Ad Gentes 2) as a whole is mis- sionary in nature, by giving all the baptized a concrete share in the participation in the mis- sio of the Church „ad gentes“.The enthusiasm for the support of missionaries led to a broad stream of missionary spirit in 19th century France.

    172 PARTIEl: DOCUMENTS RELATIFS À LA VIE DE LA SERVANTE DE DIEU (1774-1818) DOC. V TÉMOIGNAGEDEPAULINE-MARIEJARICOT au sujet des oeuvres de la Servante de Dieu, Claudine Thévenet, 1817. Pauline-Marie Jaricot, connue universellement comme fondatrice de la Propagation de la Foi et dont l'Église a proclamé récemment (25 février 1963) l'héroïcité des vertus, outre qu'elle a été témoin des oeuvres apostoliques de Claudine Thévenet, à partir de 1817, elle fut également sa disciple et sa collaboratrice durant quelques années. Dans ce document, nous présentons quelques extraits des nombreux écrits de Pauline ; ils constituent un témoignage imposant des vertus et des oeuvres de notre Servante de Dieu. Les familles Thévenet et Jaricot devaient s'être connues depuis longtemps. Il y avait entre elles une affinité de rang social, de coutumes, d'activités commerciales; toutes deux appar­ tenaient à la paroisse St-Nizier et vivaient non loin de cette église. Le 14 juin 1815, les relations entre les deux familles se resserrèrent lorsque Paul Jaricot, frère aîné de Pauline, épousa Jeanne-Marie-Julie Germain, soeur de François-Antoine; celui-ci, le 16 décembre 1813, avait épousé Élisabeth Steinmann, cousine de la Servante de Dieu, qui cohabitait avec elle dans la maison de la rue Masson. La signature de Paul Jaricot apparaît en effet parmi celles de la famille Thévenet dans quelques actes du Registre paroissial de St-Bruno. Pauline Jaricot nous dit dans l'Histoire de ma vie : "À 16 ans et demi, une instruction du Carême, à St-Nizier, où le prédicateur faisait au naturel la peinture d'une jeune personne qui a de la vanité me fut un coup de grâce, et je résolus par la suite de me donner entièrement à Dieu.

It is a great question, one that we should all give some thought to. Why is it important that we celebrate the Eucharist each week? How does it fit into our relationship with God and our spiritual life? There are lots of reasons why we celebrate the Eucharist weekly and not just on Easter Sunday.
