All Catholics must guard against it in their hearts and work to dismantle the systems that perpetuate it. Priests throughout the Jefferson City diocese preached variations of that mes- sage the weekend of June 6-7, as part of their homilies for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. “Any time we look at any person or group of people to be less than us because of the color of their skin, we are doing nothing more than following the Father of Lies and falling into the evil of racism,” Father Philip Niekamp, pastor of St. Pius X parish in Moberly, proclaimed from the pulpit.

    CHMA History and Diocese of Jefferson City pastoral services to Catholics without outside help. These services include Mass and the sacraments, evangelization, religious educa- tion, and ministry training for priests, deacons, religious sisters, and laypeople. Today, more than 40% of U.S. dioceses are considered mis- sion dioceses. Although each diocese and eparchy has its own specific challenges, many mission dioceses share certain characteristics: • Catholics make up a small percentage of the population. • Difficult terrain, extreme weather, or great distances isolate parishes. • Priests, deacons, and skilled pastoral workers are in short supply.

  • Friars' Bookshelf 141 Est Living Son of Eight Children
    The Spirit of St. Dominic. By Humbert Clerissac, O.P. 177 pp. Burns, Oates, London. 6 s. Pressure of the French anti-clerical laws and the subsequent dis­ persion of religious communities in 1903 led Humbert Oerissac, O.P., to spend the next several years in England. In 1908 he con­ ducted a retreat for his English confreres at Hawkesyard and: these retreat conferences, originally delivered in English, were soon pub­ lished in French and in Italian. The manuscript for an English edi­ tion was completed but, due to the author's untimely death in 1914, was not published until recently when M. Jacques Maritain placed this manuscript at the disposal of Bernard Delany, O.P., Provincial of the English Dominicans, with the suggestion that it be revised and published. In a brief introductory sketch of Pere Oerissac, Father Delany observes that "the absorbing enthusiasm of his life was for the ideals of his Father, St. Dominic." This same consuming enthusiasm gen­ erates a unique charm and throbbing vitality which the printed word is powerless to restrain. The ideals of St. Dominic take definite shape as dynamic, living realities incorporated in the constitution of his Order and perpetuated in the life of its members. The message of Pere Oerissac is charged with the spirit of his Father and fired with love for his Order; his unquenchable desire is "to bring others to understand and love its luminous spirit, the eternal youth of its doctrinal tradition, its exquisite largemindedness, its sublime ideal­ ism." Yet his idealism is a practical idealism; through it runs a con­ sistent strain of sane optimism, a constantly recurring note of joyous conviction-the ideals of St.

They aren’t about budgets, spread- sheets or those ubiquitous Sunday en- velopes. They’re about ministry. “Specifically, they’re about maximiz- ing the ministry we can do with the re- sources we have,” stated Deacon Joseph Braddock, Chief Financial Officer for the Jefferson City diocese. The COVID-19 pandemic has tightened those resources, even as it has revealed new opportunities for charity and outreach. In that way, it has highlighted the im- portance of a Christian ethic of return- ing to God a portion of His generosity. “As Christian stewards, we receive God’s gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in jus- tice with others, and return them with increase to the Lord,” Bishop W. Shawn McKnight explained. That return includes a financial tithe. Parishes receive most of their mon- ey from Sunday offertory collections, which go toward carrying-out essential ministries, including Catholic schools, U.S. dollars are seen with face masks during the coronavirus pandemic in this illustration photo.
