  • It's All About Relationships: Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet Start Their
    5/28/14 It’s all about relationships: Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet Start Their Ministries Minnesota was still a territory in 1851 when Bishop Joseph Cretin decided some of the Native Americans and immigrants of his new Roman Catholic Diocese would benefit from education and other services. Familiar with the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph in France, which was founded in the 17th century to do “all of which woman is capable, and which will most benefit the dear neighbor” [Primitive Constitution], he decided a direct appeal would be best. Bishop Cretin traveled down the Mississippi River by steamboat to the village of Carondelet, a small town five miles south of St. Louis, Missouri where the sisters had settled in 1836. His request was successful. With ice forming along the Mississippi’s shore, four Sisters of St. Joseph from Carondelet, Missouri, stepped off a steamboat at the St. Paul landing on November 3, 1851. “The group,…accustomed to makeshift living conditions ever since their arrival in St. Louis,” was not surprised by their new quarters. The habitation awaiting them in St. Paul had been the Bishop’s house, “a shanty adjoining the log chapel of St. Paul, the first cathedral. St. Joseph’s Academy was opened [in the chapel] the second week of November, 1851, only a few days after the arrival of the four sisters.” By the end of their first year, Mother St. John wrote: “There were eighty-seven pupils, seventeen of them boarders, of Canadian and Indian descent. Among them … there were orphans and destitute children whose care fell to the sisters as a matter of course.” [Dolorita, Dougherty, Hurley, Daly, Coyne, B.

  • Strange Bedfellows: Fr. John A. Ryan and the Minimum Wage Movement
    Strange Bedfellows: Fr. John A. Ryan and the Minimum Wage Movement J. Daniel Hammond ABSTRACT: Fr. John A. Ryan, in his day a staunch promoter of the minimum wage as an important application of the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, held many positions that aligned him with advocates of social reform who advocated for radical stances on many topics. But his reliance on the ancient Christian doctrine of the dignity and sacredness of each person preserved him from wandering into the excess of eugenics. Many of those who rejected or ignored this understanding of the dignity of each individual were not so fortunate. RITING IN THE EARLY twentieth century, Fr. John A. Ryan (1869-1945) was among the earliest advocates of state and Wfederal minimum wage laws for the United States. Most economists of the previous century had been skeptical of the idea of setting legal floors under wages. The classical wages fund doctrine suggested that such a bill would mean lower profits, and thus less investment and ultimately less employment. Later, marginalists used a different analytical apparatus but likewise predicted that attempts to raise wages with legal wage floors would cause declines in employ- ment. The standard economic critique was that reformers were correct in thinking that some workers would receive higher wages, but that they should also consider secondary disemployment effects that might negate the wage gains. By the 1900s economists’ resistance softened. Increasingly eco- nomists saw merit in minimum wage and other labor market reforms. As A.B. Wolfe put it in a panel on minimum wages at the 1916 meeting of 123 124 Life and Learning XX the American Economic Association, “the idea cannot be given a fair try-out by piecemeal legislation or by temporizing wage-boards arriving at compromise awards, but neither will the problem approach solution if left to a neo-classical theory which in effect perpetuates the old laissez-faire, do-nothing negativism.”1 Fr.

    September 15, 2009 Dear Landowner, You are receiving this letter because your property may be directly or indirectly affected by route alternatives for the proposed Brookings County, South Dakota, to Hampton, Minnesota, 345 kilovolt (kV) transmission line project. The route alternatives will be evaluated in an environmental impact statement (EIS), which is being prepared by the Minnesota Department of Commerce (DOC), Office of Energy Security (OES). This letter provides you with information on the transmission line project, the route permitting process, and future opportunities to participate in the process. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the proposed project, sign up for the project mailing list, and participate in the route permitting process. Project and Process On December 29, 2008, Great River Energy and Xcel Energy (applicants) filed a route permit application with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (Commission) to construct and operate a 345 kV transmission line, beginning at the state’s western border near Hendricks, Minnesota, and ending south of the Twin Cities metro area near Hampton, Minnesota. The applicants are proposing two possible routes for the transmission line, a preferred route and an alternate route. The project also includes the construction of four new substations and the expansion of four existing substations. The applicants’ route permit application is subject to environmental review in accordance with Minnesota Rules 7849.5200 to 7849.5340 (full permitting process). The first step in this process is developing the scope of the EIS for the project. The scoping process, which has already been completed, has two primary purposes: (1) to identify issues that are important to communities along the proposed routes for study in the EIS, and (2) to solicit suggestions for route alternatives, beyond those proposed by the applicants, to study in the EIS.

  • History of Saint Agnes
    Preface A hundred years in the life of a man or woman is a long time. In the existence of institutions, especially the Church, a hundred years is as yesterday. But it is good to mark the passing of time, such as a hundred years, and occasionally to look back and assess the events that have occurred, the people who have lived, and the things that have been accomplished. A history of a parish needs be a chronicle of events to a large extent. Judgment on those events is not always possible or necessary and perhaps not even wise. The important thing is that the events and the facts of the past hundred years be recorded as clearly and precisely as possible so that someday someone may wish to have them and use them. Colligite fragmenta ne pereant (Collect the fragments lest they be lost). An old Latin adage says Nemo est judex in causa sua (No one is a judge in his own case). With that in mind, I freely submit that the events chronicled here from 1969 to the present have passed through the judgment of the author, who is the pastor whose time of tenure is being described. I have tried to give a fair picture. Another writer can make the judgment if he so chooses. Monsignor Richard J. Schuler Chapter 1 EUROPE IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Europe in the second half of the nineteenth century was still living under the effects of the French Revolution, the wars of Napoleon and the rise of liberalism. The unification of Germany and the Risorgimento in Italy had caused grave problems for the Church, and the power and the prestige of the papacy had suffered from these political events.

  • St. John the Evangelist 150 Anniversary October 11, 2015
    ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST 150TH ANNIVERSARY OCTOBER 11, 2015 Better one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere. Better the threshold of the house of my God than a home in the tents of the wicked. For a sun and shield is the LORD God, bestowing all grace and glory. The LORD withholds no good thing from those who walk without reproach. O LORD of hosts, blessed are those who trust in you! (Psalm 84) From Father Kevin Clinton, pastor 150 years ago began "a work in progress"! As your pastor I join Fr. Dave and Deacon Bob in congratulating the people of the Western Catholic Community and especially the folks that worship at St. John's Church in Union Hill. Thank you for celebrating the 150 years of faith community. We all stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us. The hard work of the Union Hill immigrant pioneers started a "work in progress" that would be called St. John's of Union Hill. Coming from centuries of the cultural traditions and experience from European farms and villages, they knew it was vital to each immigrant and each family to start a church which would celebrate and nurture family, community and faith life. Of course all that would become "St. John's" was not in place 150 years ago, but the vision and the confidence in God being with the founders was certainly present. The timing and need of a faith community starting 150 years ago makes sense to me. The end of the Civil War had just happened and the trauma to the country was immense.

  • The History of St. Joseph's Church – Hopkins, Mn
    THE 1920s THE HISTORY OF ST. 1921 – Archbishop Dowling decrees that St. JOSEPH’S CHURCH – Margaret’s and St. Mary’s Churches be merged into a new parish: St. Joseph’s. There are 250 families HOPKINS, MN on the roster. Fr. Charles E. Hovorka (a brother to By Chuck Romportl Fr. Joseph Hovorka from St. Margaret’s in May 22, 2010 Minnetonka) is called from Montevideo to begin his for the Hopkins Historical Society pastorate (which lasts 34 years!). Services are held in the St. Mary’s Church until the new church is built. The Knights of Columbus organize at St. Joseph’s. PRIOR TO 1921 There are two small Catholic Churches in the Hopkins area. 1922 – A school, a pastor’s home and a convent are built. A “temporary” church is housed in the school building, and services begin there. Cost for the three buildings is between $112,000 and $120,000. The altar from St. Margaret’s is brought over and used in the new church. Pius XI is elected Pope. St. Margaret’s Church on Bren Road near Shady Oak Road in Minnetonka, serving the Bohemian settlers, was built in 1880. Fr. Joseph Hovorka was the pastor of St. Margaret’s from 1904 to 1921. 1923 – The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondolet arrive to form the teaching staff. St. Joseph’s School opens with six grades the first year, adding grades 7 & 8 in the two succeeding years. Sr. Agnes Aloysius Thompson is principal. The other sisters are Sister Cosmos Shea, Sister Mary Magdeline Swoboda, Sister Marie Celeste Delage, Sister Theresa Louise McGuire and Sister Carlos Eue, who taught music.
