  • Poor Clare Sister from Maryland Is Elected Abbess, Succeeds Mother Angelica
    Poor Clare sister from Maryland is elected abbess, succeeds Mother Angelica BALTIMORE (CNS) — When Theresa Buck was still in high school at Mount de Sales Academy in the Baltimore suburb of Catonsville, she took a standardized assessment test meant to give some indication of the kind of career that would best suit her talents, personality and interests. Topping the list of potential careers, according to the assessment? Ministry as a woman religious. An exercise completed more than two decades ago turned out to be more than prescient. Not only did the former parishioner of St. Agnes Parish in Catonsville enter the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration at the Our Lady of the Angels Monastery in rural Alabama, she recently was entrusted with leadership of the internationally known monastery. Today with the religious name of Mother Mary Paschal of the Lamb of God, she was elected abbess July 29, taking on the same post that was once held by Mother Angelica, founder of both the monastery and the global Catholic communications network known as EWTN. The Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration are a contemplative community of cloistered nuns whose charism is centered on adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Established in France in 1854, the religious community has monasteries that act autonomously. Betty Buck, Mother Mary Paschal’s mother, said the Alabama monastery had to get special permission from Rome to allow her daughter to become the abbess. At 38, she was not quite at the official minimum age requirement of 40 for the leadership position. Betty and her husband, Phil, parishioners of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Ellicott City, Maryland, said their family was overwhelmed by the news of their daughter’s election.

  • El Futuro De Nuestro Pasado
    EL FUTURO DE NUESTRO PASADO Mario J. Paredes El Pasado.... La historia de la gestación y el establecimiento del catolicismo doscientos años atrás, en lo que hoy son los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica, especialmente en el Norte y concretamente en Nueva York, estuvo marcada de heroísmo por las enormes pruebas, rechazos, humillaciones y oposiciones que tuvo que enfrentar, los grandes sacrificios y luchas que tuvo que dar, como consecuencia del anti catolicismo intolerante, violento y perseguidor imperante en la época, protagonizado por otras iglesias cristianas provenientes de Europa y establecidas aquí con anterioridad. Han transcurrido dos siglos desde que John Carroll, (1735 – 1815) primer obispo católico en los Estados Unidos, pidiera a Roma la creación de nuevas diócesis y que, respondiendo a esta solicitud pastoral, el Papa Pío VII erigiera por Decreto a Nueva York como Diócesis en abril 8 de 1808, junto a Filadelfia, Boston y Bardstown. Estas cuatro diócesis se desprenden de la única iglesia particular fundada por entonces en la República de los Estados Unidos nacidos después de 1776: la Diócesis de Baltimore que, a su vez, había sido fundada como tal en 1789 convirtiéndose así, en la primera Diócesis de la República nacida en 1776 y hoy, reconocida como la sede primada de los Estados Unidos. Richard Luke Concanen, un fraile dominico irlandés fue nombrado primer Obispo de Nueva York. Pero camino de Roma (donde pasó gran parte de su vida) a Nueva York falleció en la ciudad de Nápoles. Nunca llegó a tomar posesión de su sede episcopal por lo cual el primer obispo residente en Nueva York lo fue el John Connolly, O.P miembro de la Orden de Predicadores al igual que su predecesor.

  • Restorative Justice
    "I have come to heal..." Restorative Justice This is the fourth in a series of six pastoral statements by Catholic Bishops of the South on the Criminal Justice process and a gospel response. "We are guided by the paradoxical Catholic teaching on crime and punishment: We will not tolerate the crime and violence that threatens the lives and dignity of our sisters and brothers, and we will not give up on those who have lost their way. We seek both justice and mercy. Working together, we believe our faith calls us to protect public safety, promote the common good, and restore community. We believe a Catholic ethic of responsibility, rehabilitation, and restoration can become the foundation for the necessary reform of our broken criminal justice system." U.S. Catholic Bishops statement, "Responsibility, Rehabilitation, and Restoration: A Catholic Perspective on Crime and Criminal Justice," November 2000. As pastoral leaders of the Roman Catholic community, we would like to continue to reflect with you on the themes of responsibility, rehabilitation and restoration in light of the reality of crime and criminal justice in our area of the country. Prisons, like wars, are public admissions of defeat for humanity. Whenever possible, alternatives for incarceration must be searched for and implemented. Such an alternative is the approach of restorative justice.1 All of us have a right to public safety and protection from violence. The criminal justice system was created when public safety was threatened, when violence occurred. Our current criminal justice system is based on retribution - those who cause suffering by committing crime are to be punished by the government for what they have done wrong.2 However, many people, including many victims of crime, think the current system is not working.

  • Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration Announce Merger of Two Communities CHARLOTTE —
    Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration announce merger of two communities CHARLOTTE — By the mandate of the Holy See, the nuns of St. Joseph Adoration Monastery, currently based at St. Ann Parish in Charlotte, will merge with the community of Our Lady of the Angels Monastery in Hanceville, Ala., under the leadership of Mother Dolores Marie. Both communities are part of the same religious order, the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration, founded in 1854. The merger is expected to take place this fall. Our Lady of the Angels Monastery is known for its founding abbess, Mother Mary Angelica, who was also the foundress of the Eternal Word Television Network, EWTN. Mother Angelica has been in declining health since suffering a stroke in 2001. She was named Abbess Emerita for Life in 2009 by the Holy See and will continue to reside at the monastery in Hanceville. The six members of the Charlotte community will increase the membership of Our Lady of the Angels Monastery to 11 solemnly professed members, including Mother Angelica, in addition to those in formation. In 2010, the community of St. Joseph Monastery, then located in Portsmouth, Ohio, was invited to the Diocese of Charlotte by Bishop Peter Jugis. Over the past five years, the Poor Clares, in conjunction with the Te Deum Foundation, have acquired more than 500 acres in Cleveland County. A future monastery for the Poor Clares and a regional seminary have been planned for the site. The monastery building project will be placed on hold for now, but the Poor Clares will maintain their ownership of the property.

  • ANNUAL REPORT - Most Rev
    2017 ANNUAL REPORT - Most Rev. Shelton J. Fabre MESSAGE FROM THE BISHOP My friends in Christ, The year 2017 has truly provided great hope for the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux and the Catholic Foundation of South Louisiana. Through our Diocesan Strategic Planning “Plans of Hope,” we have reinvigorated the Catholic Foundation in an effort to provide a powerful instrument to our Diocese, to assist with the gifts the Lord has bestowed upon us. The Catholic Foundation serves as a great resource to our Diocese, and for our donors to give financially through the Foundation to their desired ministry. It was established to ensure that the ministries of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux can grow and thrive, thereby seeking to ensure a bright future for our ministires. The Diocesan Capital Campaign, which took place a few years ago, helped to create our two largest endowments with the Catholic Foundation benefiting Seminarian Education and Catholic Charities, raising over $5 million dollars. We are incredibly grateful for those who supported the Capital Campaign, our seminarians, and Catholic Charities. Over the last year, the board and staff of the Catholic Foundation have been working to provide great vehicles to make charitable giving simple and impactful. The Catholic Foundation’s assets total $5.3 million for the fiscal year ending June 2017, supporting a number of ministries throughout our Diocese. This past fall of 2017, the Catholic Foundation distributed $159,103 back to the ministries who have endowments established, and we are eager to continue to give back in an effort to financially sustain and enhance our many ministries.
