The contest allowed students to portray an interpretation of the birth of Jesus Christ as seen through their eyes. A total of 53 entries were submitted from 27 schools this year, and four winners were selected from contest entries among four age categories. The image on the left is by Kristen Landsman, a senior at Delone Catholic High School in McSherrystown, and the image at the right is by Abby Caruso, an eighth grader at St. Catherine Labouré School in Harrisburg. The other two winning images were featured on the cover of the December 8 edition. The four winning pieces were used as illustrations on Bishop Gainer’s Christmas cards this year, and the students are pictured on page 3 with the bishop. Christmas 2017 800 AD.

  • Priest-Historian: 75 Years Later, Pearl Harbor 'Such a Powerful Event'
    Priest-historian: 75 years later, Pearl Harbor ‘such a powerful event’ By Mark Pattison Catholic News Service WASHINGTON – A Catholic military chaplain and historian says the attack on Pearl Harbor, even 75 years later, continues to rivet the attention of Americans because it is “such a powerful event.” As the anniversary of the Dec. 7, 1941, attack neared, Father Daniel Mode detailed the effect of the Japanese attack on the Hawaiian outpost. “Before that, we were debating whether to get involved with World War II or not. We were basically a neutral country, trying not to get engaged in it. It (the attack) changed the tenor, and the president’s resolve, Father Mode told Catholic News Service. “It brought our country together to fight a common threat.” Speaking in a telephone interview from the Pentagon, where he works for the chief of chaplains, Father Mode said he can see a parallel between Pearl Harbor and the 9/11 terror attacks. “They’re both cataclysmic events that galvanized our country,” he said. “One was more obviously targeted toward the civilian population, one toward the military population,” the priest added, “but both certainly were defining moments in our country.” As a child, young Daniel Mode lived at Pearl Harbor for four years while his father was on duty in the Navy. “I vividly remember as a young kid – fourth-, fifth-, sixth-grade – going to the (USS) Arizona Memorial. As an altar server, I served Mass. It made a great impact on me. It was probably the seeds that were planted in my heart as I discerned my vocation to the priesthood.

Brennan, U.S. Navy (Retired). Member, NJPHS “Oklahoma failed to fire a single shot in anger during two world wars.” Captain Herbert Fox Rommel, Jr., U.S. Navy (Retired) Pearl Harbor Survivor of USS Oklahoma2 The first and last U.S. warships sunk in the Pacific during World War II were violently destroyed with the massive loss of life; both were built by New York Shipbuilding in Camden, New Jersey; both suffered fatal damage from multiple torpedoes; both capsized within 12 minutes. The battleship, USS Oklahoma (BB 37), was sunk at Pearl Harbor on the morning of Sunday, 7 December 1941, with the loss of 429 officers and men; suffering the second greatest number of casualties that morning. Together with USS Arizona (BB 39) more than 60% of the fatalities that morning were suffered by these two ships on Battleship Row. Oklahoma was struck on the port side by as many as nine aircraft-launched torpedoes.3 Nearly 44 months later, the heavy cruiser, USS Indianapolis (CA 35),4 was sunk when struck in the starboard bow and amidships by two torpedoes fired by the Imperial Japanese submarine I-58 in the Philippine Sea on Monday, 30 July 1945, with the loss of approximately 880 officers and men. A further sad coincidence was that the last Commanding Officer Indianapolis, Captain McVay, the only naval officer court martialed and convicted for the loss of his ship in combat during either world war, was the son of Admiral Charles B.
