Using their contemporary names, they are arranged alphabetically by state and there under by lineage (i.e. predecessor and successor dioceses) beginning in 1900. This enables researchers to find more information when the diocese serving them has changed over time. The three archival collections at Marquette University from where the images were obtained may contain more related information. They are the records of the Black and Indian Mission Collection and the Catholic Negro-American Mission Board within the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions Records, and the National Black Sisters Conference Records.

  • Joy of the Gospel: Path for Renewal in Uncertain Times
    2020 RCRI Virtual Conference Joy of the Gospel: Path for Renewal in Uncertain Times 12:00 noon – 4:00 PM (ET) Friday, October 23. 2020 Friday, October 30, 2020 Friday, November 6, 2020 2 2020 RCRI Virtual Conference WELCOME TO THE 2020 VIRTUAL CONFERENCE!! On behalf of the Board of Directors and Staff of the Resource Center for Religious Institutes, I welcome you to the 2020 virtual Conference. Though different from our in-person conferences, we look forward to an enriching conference experience as RCRI begins a new decade of service. We have developed a program of 18 workshop/webinars for the virtual experience with topics that we hope will assist you in addressing the financial and legal issues facing your institutes, especially during these uncertain times. This year’s conference theme is Joy of the Gospel: A Path for Renewal in Uncertain Times reflecting the joy and newness of the Gospel. Pope Francis urges us in New Wine in New Wineskins “to not have fear of making changes according to the law of the Gospel…leave aside fleeting structures – they are not necessary...and get new wineskins, those of the Gospel.” He goes on to say that “one can fully live the Gospel only in a joyous heart and in a renewed heart” (page 31). Fifty-five years ago this October, the Decree on the Renewal of Religious Life, Perfectae caritatis was approved by the Second Vatican Council. The document calls religious and the entire Church to adaptation and renewal of religious life based on a return to the spirit of the founders in the light of the signs of the times.

  • From African to African American: the Creolization of African Culture
    From African to African American: The Creolization of African Culture Melvin A. Obey Community Services So long So far away Is Africa Not even memories alive Save those that songs Beat back into the blood... Beat out of blood with words sad-sung In strange un-Negro tongue So long So far away Is Africa -Langston Hughes, Free in a White Society INTRODUCTION When I started working in HISD’s Community Services my first assignment was working with inner city students that came to us straight from TYC (Texas Youth Commission). Many of these young secondary students had committed serious crimes, but at that time they were not treated as adults in the courts. Teaching these young students was a rewarding and enriching experience. You really had to be up close and personal with these students when dealing with emotional problems that would arise each day. Problems of anguish, sadness, low self-esteem, disappointment, loneliness, and of not being wanted or loved, were always present. The teacher had to administer to all of these needs, and in so doing got to know and understand the students. Each personality had to be addressed individually. Many of these students came from one parent homes, where the parent had to work and the student went unsupervised most of the time. In many instances, students were the victims of circumstances beyond their control, the problems of their homes and communities spilled over into academics. The teachers have to do all they can to advise and console, without getting involved to the extent that they lose their effectiveness.

  • Catholic Women Religious in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1850
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Santa Barbara Sisterhood on the Frontier: Catholic Women Religious in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1850- 1925 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology by Jamila Jamison Sinlao Committee in charge: Professor Denise Bielby, Chair Professor Jon Cruz Professor Simonetta Falasca-Zamponi Professor John Mohr December 2018 The dissertation of Jamila Jamison Sinlao is approved. Jon Cruz Simonetta Falsca-Zamponi John Mohr Denise Bielby, Committee Chair December 2018 Sisterhood on the Frontier: Catholic Women Religious in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1850- 1925 Copyright © 2018 by Jamila Jamison Sinlao iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In so many ways, this dissertation is a labor of love, shaped by the formative years that I spent as a student at Mercy High School, Burlingame. There, the “Mercy spirit”—one of hospitality and generosity, resilience and faith—was illustrated by the many stories we heard about Catherine McAuley and Mary Baptist Russell. The questions that guide this project grew out of my Mercy experience, and so I would like to thank the many teachers, both lay and religious, who nurtured my interest in this fascinating slice of history. This project would not have been possible without the archivists who not only granted me the privilege to access their collections, but who inspired me with their passion, dedication, and deep historical knowledge. I am indebted to Chris Doan, former archivist for the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary; Sister Marilyn Gouailhardou, RSM, regional community archivist for the Sisters of Mercy Burlingame; Sister Margaret Ann Gainey, DC, archivist for the Daughters of Charity, Seton Provincialate; Kathy O’Connor, archivist for the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, California Province; and Sister Michaela O’Connor, SHF, archivist for the Sisters of the Holy Family.

  • The Life of Saint Paul of the Cross Founder of the Congregation of the Cross and Passion
    The Life of Saint Paul of the Cross Founder of the Congregation of the Cross and Passion 1694-1775 Volume 1 – 1694-1741 Father Louis Therese of Jesus Agonizing, C.P. 1873 Fr. Simon Woods, C.P. (Translated from the third French Edition) 1959 (INDEX TO VOLUME ONE ON FINAL PAGES) DEDICATION to HIS EMINENCE FERDINAND CARDINAL DONNET Archbishop of Bordeaux Your Eminence, The Life of Saint Paul of the Cross, which it is my privilege to dedicate to you, may rightfully be called your very own. Without your Eminence the work may not have been completed, and I may never have realized the idea that I had in mind for a very long time. It is then the humble fruit of a tree planted by your own hands in the vineyard confided to your care by the Heavenly Father. It was when your Eminence was in Rome for the Beatification of our holy Founder that you obtained from His Holiness Pope Pius IX the sons of Saint Paul of the Cross for your Archdiocese… And, if this little family was welcome and took its humble beginnings in the fruitful soil of France under your protection and guidance, is it not due to your paternal interest and initiative? Soon, it is true, a learned and zealous clergy imitated your zeal; but in those days of supreme struggle, of unceasing conflict against the rights of the Church, your Eminence realized that it is necessary that zeal be united with learning, especially when the war “against the Lord and his Christ” becomes so universal.
