Peter and Paul and St. Martin de Porres communities! Our newsletter is one of the vehicles through which we will seek to evangelize and is also an avenue through which our parishioners can share their knowledge and thoughts about our faith. Additionally, our newsletter will also be used to communicate the activities in our parish and the Archdiocese. In this issue, our thematic focus is the Year of Mercy and we seek to interrogate its meaning and purpose. It is hoped that, through this interrogation, we will accept Pope Francis’ invitation to truly receive God’s mercy in our lives and extend this mercy to others. We do, after all, promise our Father to do this when we pray, “. and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us . .”. It is important that we take the time to reflect on these words, as they embody the purpose of this Extraordinary Jubilee.

  • CCSJ Capital Punishment Booklet
    t the 60th Annual Plenary Meeting of the Bishops of the An - Atilles Episcopal Conference (AEC) held in Trinidad in April 2016, the Bishops agreed to publish in this Jubilee Year of Mercy a Statement on Capital Punishment. One of the main aims is to sensitize the faithful and policy makers in the Region of the impor - tance of ending the Death Penalty in our Region. The decision was taken by the Bishops to publish the Statement in two formats: a short Statement - see Part A, issued on 4 July, 2016, and a long Statement - see Part B, issued on 21 September 2016, which con - tains more technical language for policy makers and all those who can influence change in the laws in our Region. The two Statements have been incorporated in this booklet which is offered to you as a Catholic perspective on the on-going debate on this important issue in the Re - gion and globally. “The AEC is the episcopal conference of the English, French and Dutch territories of the Caribbean, with the exception of Haiti. This is the geographical area entrusted to the pastoral care of the Bishops of the AEC. The Catholic Church within these territories comprises five Provinces, consisting of five archdioceses, fourteen dioceses and two Independent Missions, i.e., twenty-one ecclesiastical units in all. Politically, within the five Provinces there are thirteen independent nations (Belize, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Antigua and Barbuda, St. Lucia, Grenada, Dominica, Guyana, Suriname, The Bahamas, St. Kitts-Nevis, three Departments of France (Guadeloupe, French Guyana, Martinique), two parts of the Kingdom of the Netherlands having complete internal autonomy (Curacao + and Aruba ), and six British colonies (Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Anguilla, British Virgin Islands, Montserrat and Turks and Caicos Islands).

  • A Pastoral Letter: New Ways of Being Church in a Digital Milieu
    1 A Pastoral Letter: New Ways of Being Church in a Digital Milieu INTRODUCTION 1. Good News to the poor is the mission and goal of all pastoral communications (see Luke 4:18). Through signs, gestures, words, books, moving images, audio, and social communications, the Church has sought to proclaim her message so that all people will hear it in their own native language (see Acts 2:11). To be faithful to this mission of evangelizing communications to the people of the Caribbean today, we will need a new missionary spirit, one that is built upon participation, dialogue, and collaboration and one that speaks to the heart, soul, and religious imagination of our Antillean people. We need a new way of being Church! 2. It is the Lord who sends: Go proclaim—communicate—the Good News “and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them…’ (Matthew 28:19). Jesus Christ himself communicates, in his mission, on all levels of human interaction. He preaches and teaches to the masses using stories, parables, and statements and shares in smaller groups with his apostles and disciples. He meets individuals like Nicodemus, the Samaritan woman, and others in deep and very personal sharing. Evangelizing communication builds on this example of Jesus Christ, always trying to meet people where they are—at their level of knowledge, feeling, and understanding—to bring them from their own life experience closer to the Father and eternal life. 3. The parable of the Good Samaritan emphasizes the relationship possibilities presented by a heart imbued with charity, mercy, and compassion. If anything, the digital age, with its new opportunities and limitations, has helped us to be able to reflect on this relationship in new ways.

He talked about how we should strive for sainthood. He also talked Deacon about how we should not take a cafeteria approach to our faith, but instead we need to accept the entire body of the Rev.

  • The Washington DC Story, 1950 – 2012 Rev
    Stories of the Chicago Province Washington THE WASHINGTON DC STORY, 1950 – 2012 Rev. Thomas Krosnicki In 1933, Superior General Father Joseph Grendel and his council accepted an invitation from the Holy See to take over Fu Jen Catholic University in Peking (now Beijing), China, from the Benedictines of Latrobe, Pennsylvania. In no time, the Generalate realized it needed an immediate infusion of money and then a steady source of funding if the university was to flourish under the leadership of the Divine Word Missionaries. Financial demands and depressed times gave birth to a fund-raising undertaking, established by and directly under the Generalate, called “SVD Universities Incorporated,” headed by a great Divine Word fundraiser, Father Ralph Thyken (1899–1975). From his office in downtown Chicago he was to procure financial resources for Fu Jen University. After the Communist takeover and the loss of the university in Peking, the Generalate expanded Father Thyken’s job description. San Carlos University (1935, Philippines), Nanzan University (1949, Japan) and the transplanted Fu Jen Catholic University (1961, Taiwan) became the responsibility of “SVD Universities Incorporated.” Yet another need surfaced. Professors required professional training to staff these Divine Word universities. So Father Thyken was asked not only to raise funds but also to supply housing and support for Divine Word Missionaries assigned for specialized academic formation in the United States. MOVE TO WASHINGTON “Father Ralph’s House,” as it was unofficially called, became a residence in Washington, DC, for Divine Word missionaries sent to study at the Catholic University of America. Two small single-family houses (1325 and 1335 Quincy Street NE) were purchased.
