  • Annual Report 2019
    Annual Report 2018-2019 This annual report is a celebration of Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio’s vision for the new evangelization. Since the heart of evangelization is to introduce others to the saving presence and power of the Lord Jesus, any pastoral vision that seeks to explain in greater detail the work of evangelization must begin with an opportunity for personal reflection. If we seek to revitalize our Church, to bring new life to our mission to teach and preach the Gospel, and bring others to greater faith, then we must ask some serious questions of ourselves. What does it really mean to me to seek new life and vigor in Christ? What is really being asked of me? What attitudes must I change in my life before I can become an effective agent of evangelization in my family, parish, and neighborhood? Most Reverend Nicholas DiMarzio, Ph.D., D.D., “Do Not Be Afraid” A Pastoral Vision for the New Evangelization, 2007. Cover Photos Courtesy of Gregory A. Shemitz, CNS; and DeSales Media Secretariat Annual Report 2018-2019 Secretary’s Message Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of America Archbishop Christophe Pierre’s statement to the people of the Diocese of Brooklyn, “So, be BOLD!”, has no doubt left a lasting imprint. The Secretariat for Evangelization and Catechesis Annual Report for 2018-2019, prepared by the staff of the Secretariat, presents a sampling of BOLD evangelization and catechetical programs, processes, initiatives, and events in place to accompany those who are actively engaged in their faith as well as those seeking a relationship with God for the first time.

Decorated in authentic TWA livery, our Connie — whose fleet once served as Air Force One for President Dwight D.

  • Cathedral Building in America: a Missionary Cathedral in Utah by the Very Reverend Gary Kriss, D.D
    Cathedral Building in America: A Missionary Cathedral in Utah By the Very Reverend Gary Kriss, D.D. I “THERE IS NO fixed type yet of the American cathedral.”1 Bishop Daniel S. Tuttle’s comment in 1906 remains true today as an assessment of the progress of the cathedral movement in the Episcopal Church. In organization, mission, and architecture, American cathedrals represent a kaleidoscope of styles quite unlike the settled cathedral system which is found in England. It may fairly be said that, in the development of the Episcopal Church, cathedrals were an afterthought. The first cathedrals appear on the scene in the early 1860s, more than two hundred fifty years after Anglicans established their first parish on American soil. So far removed from the experience of English cathedral life, it is remarkable that cathedrals emerged at all—unless it might be suggested that by the very nature of episcopacy, cathedrals are integral to it. “I think no Episcopate complete that has not a center, the cathedral, as well as a circumference, the Diocese.”2 The year was 1869. William Croswell Doane, first Bishop of Albany, New York, was setting forth his vision for his Diocese. Just two years earlier, Bishop Tuttle had set out from his parish in Morris, New York, (which, coincidentally, was in that section of New York State which became part of the new Diocese of Albany in 1868) to begin his work as Missionary Bishop of Montana with Idaho and Utah. In 1869, Bishop Tuttle established his permanent home in Salt Lake City, and within two years, quite without any conscious purpose or design on his part, he had a cathedral.

  • Creating Ripples Of
    Creating Ripples of HopeHopeGiving Today Impacting Tomorrow 2009 Annual Report IS PLEASED TO HONOR THE Alive in Hope Foundation of the Diocese of Brooklyn for excellence in materials used to promote diocesan stewardship AWARDED FOR ITS Total Foundation Effort “God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well.” Romans 12.6-11 11 October 2009 Dallas, Texas Creating Ripples HopeHopeof In 1996 the first gift was made to the Alive in Hope Campaign; a historic event in the life of the Diocese of Brooklyn. That first expression of generosity begot another, and another, leading to the creation of the Alive in Hope Foundation. Eleven years later, $23 million has been distrib- uted in support of the Catholic community in Brooklyn and Queens. One act of love calls forth another, creating ripples of hope for generations to come. Giving Today, Impacting Tomorrow 1 DearDear Dear Friends in Christ, “Do not be afraid of Christ. He takes nothing away, and He gives you everything. When we give ourselves to Him, we receive a hundredfold in return.” Benedict XVI Rooted in deep faith, summoned by hope, and impelled by charity, we join together and sustain the commandment of love. It was clearly love for our Church and its future that led a group of visionaries and caring individuals to form the Alive in Hope Foundation eleven years ago. They recognized that creating a foundation that would gather gifts and grow them over the years would provide for the ministerial needs of our Church. In order to have a sense of the divine and the eternal in your life, you must be a hope-giver to others—not only by how you treat others in your interpersonal transactions but in the way you give your tangible gifts away.
