St. Louise de Marillac Mission Statement g NN N Page 2 PASTOR’S CORNER Memorial Day This weekend, we celebrate Memorial Day to honor those who died while in military service. Some of those we celebrate were members of our own parish family at St. Louise de Marillac. Many of the tradions that were originally pracced have fallen out of favor in recent years as many Americans think of this as a day to get together with family and friends to BBQ, share a meal and fellowship. So, I thought it might be interesng to look at some of the facts surrounding Memorial Day. 1. One of the earliest commemoraƟons was organized by recently freed African Americans slaves. As the Civil War neared its end, thousands of Union soldiers, held as prisoners of war, were herded into a series of hasly assembled camps in Charleston, South Carolina. More than 250 prisoners died from disease or exposure and were buried in a mass grave behind the Charleston’s Washington Race Course and Jockey Club’s grandstand. Three weeks aer the Confederate surrender, an unusual procession entered the former camp: On May 1, 1865, more than 1,000 people recently freed from enslavement, accompanied by regiments of the U.S. Colored Troops and a handful of white Charlestonians, gathered in the camp to consecrate a new, proper burial site for the Union dead. The group sang hymns, gave readings and distributed flowers around the cemetery. 2. It didn’t become a federal holiday unƟl 1971. Aer that first remembrance in Charleston, Americans embraced the noon of “Decoraon Day” immediately. That first year, more than 27 states held some sort of ceremony, with more than 5,000 people in aendance at a ceremony at Arlington Naonal Cemetery. By 1890, every former state of the Union had adopted it as an official holiday. Memorial Day was not officially recognized naonwide unl 1971. 3. Wearing a red poppy on Memorial Day is a symbol of Remembrance Day. In the spring of 1915, the sight of the bright red flowers against the dreary backdrop of war inspired Canadian Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae to pen the poem, "In Flanders Field," in which he gives voice to the soldiers who had been killed in bale and lay buried beneath the poppy-covered grounds. The poppy remains a symbol of remembrance to this day. 4. Memorial Day tradiƟons have evolved over the years. Here are some formal rituals sll on the books: The American flag should be hung at half-staff unl noon on Memorial Day, then raised to the top of the staff and all Americans are encouraged to pause for a Naonal Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. local me. So have a wonderful me tomorrow with your families as we remember those who died in service to our country. Pastor ST.

LOUISE DE MARILLAC HAPPENINGS Page 5 THIS WEEK’S HIGHLIGHTS Renovation Realities Floor prep and underlayment started in earnest this past week to ready to floors for porcelain le installaon. When the concrete floor was poured in the early 1970’s, no reinforcement steel was used to provide tensile strength as is commonly done these days. The concrete was saw cut to allow for some movement of the concrete as it naturally contracts and expands. What all of this means in 2021 as we prepare to replace the carpet with porcelain le is that the concrete must be properly prepared by removing all of the adhesive used to glue the carpet down and then a special crack prevenon underlayment will be applied before the le can begin to be laid. When the le has been installed, addional saw cuts mimicking the ones in the concrete below the le will be required. This process will provide flexibility and allow the les to move with the concrete floor. If all goes well, this preparatory work will be completed this week and le installaon can begin! Also this past week a number of items were removed from the church to be renovated. Most notable among these were the crucifix and statues that adorn the wall behind the altar, the Marian statue from the southwest corner of the nave, the main altar, and the ambo and lectern stand. The tabernacle altar and rail are also slated for renovaon. These church furnishings will receive their first restoraon in nearly fiy years. Among the work to be accomplished is to sand, repair and re-stain all of the wood surfaces of these items. Statues will receive a thorough cleaning and color restoraon and then a clear protecve coat will be applied to them. The altars, railings and ambo will be stained to match. Parishioners may remember that years ago the crucifix was vandalized and stains from the eggs used in that aack were sll visible on the crucifix arm. The restoraon work is hoped to forever remove the reminder of that event.

How did that network’s collapse reshape the social and mental horizons of communities in one part of the Roman world, now eastern France? Did new political frontiers between barbarian kingdoms redirect those communities’ external connections, and if so, how? To address these questions, this dissertation focuses on the cities of two Gallo-Roman tribal groups.

  • Frank Royal Ancestry

It covered approximately the present France and Germany, but during several wars the area changed constantly. Also different areas were split up among sons and other relatives and favorites. After Charlemagne France and Germany were established as separate countries. This presentation begins where the myth turns into history and ends with Charlemagne .

  • “If Music Be the Food of Love, Play On
    A Saintly and Victorious Symbol Did you ever hear the story about Clovis and his wife, Clotilde? Well, it seems that Clotilde was upset that her husband was getting into fights all the time. So she prayed a long time that he would find religion. When her prayers were answered and Clovis was baptized, she suggested that he change his family crest by substituting irises for three crapauds, or toads. Frankish King Clovis with wife Clotilde, painting by Antoine-Jean Gros No, this isn’t the usual Boudreaux and Thibodeaux joke that everyone has come to love. It is merely the beginning of a long series of origin stories for the fleur-de-lis, the enduring symbol of Bourbon France, Louisiana, the City of New Orleans and its beloved “Saints” football team (to name but a few). Actually the war-like King of the Salian Franks, Clovis (circa 466 - November 27, 511 A.D.), was married to the sainted Clotilde (who long prayed for his conversion). One origin tale has Clovis leading his army into battle, and (being in imminent danger of defeat) he presented himself to his Burgundian wife’s God and emerged victorious. According to Gregory of Tours, it was this victory at Tolbiac (circa 496) that led to Clovis’ baptism at Rheims by Saint Remigius, after which he had each of the three toads on his shield’s coat-of-arms replaced by the stylized lily (in French, fleur means flower and lis means lily), or iris. Before there were three petals on each lily, there were three toads.

  • The Dying Gaul: Examining the Inverse Relationship Between Lay and Religious Masculinities in Merovingian Gaul, 450-750
    The Dying Gaul: Examining the Inverse Relationship between Lay and Religious Masculinities in Merovingian Gaul, 450-750 by Peter Henric Johnsson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre of Medieval Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Peter Johnsson « Year of Convocation» The Dying Gaul Peter Johnsson Doctor of Philosophy Centre of Medieval Studies University of Toronto 2020 Abstract This dissertation examines the interrelation between concepts of masculinity among the laity and the clergy in the Merovingian era of Gaul, fifth to seventh centuries. In doing so, the work aims to fill a gap in current scholarship by examining the relationship between religious men and lay men, rather than as separate groups, which has often been the trend to date. The focus is on specific sites of difference where masculine ideals came into conflict. Beginning with a brief examination of the transmission of classical neo-platonic ideals into the culture of the ecclesiastical aristocracy of the fifth century, I will provide a background for the religious masculinity against which the lay examples are framed. The study then moves on to the contrasting ideals surrounding hair, using a methodological framework of contrasting masculinities to demonstrate that the long hair of the Franks and the tonsuring of the clergy both reflected antithetical representations of each others’ masculinities. Chapter four examines the relationship between feasting and fasting culture among the laity and the clergy, as the participation in, and rejection of imbibing served to distinguish both groups of men through contrasting ideals. The following chapter examines the role that sexual conduct played in notions of honour particularly in the laity.

  • Naming As Instrument of Strengthening of the Dynastic Power in the Early Middle Ages (France, England, Vth – Xith Centuries)
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SCIENCE EDUCATION 2016, VOL. 11, NO. 14, 7195-7205 OPEN ACCESS Naming as Instrument of Strengthening of the Dynastic Power in the early middle Ages (France, England, Vth – XIth Centuries) Marina R.

ABSTRACT The article examines the onomastic aspect of a medieval worldview through the analysis of naming principles for the kings of the Merovingian, the Carolingian and the Wessex dynasties. The etymological, structural and semantic analysis of the first Frankish and Anglo-Saxon kings’ names and bynames is used. The etymology of the first Frankish and Anglo-Saxon kings’ names is given, and the review of their bynames is made. Special emphasis is placed on the idea that the name chosen for the successor was aimed at preserving the dynastic succession and the legitimization of power. In addition, king’s personal charisma was strengthened through a proper noun. The ways of analysis are useful for development of contrastive and historical linguistics, theory of linguistics, naming theory. KEYWORDS ARTICLE HISTORY Proper noun, etymology, institutional leadership, Received 30 April 2016 name, byname, connection between a name and the Revised 28 June 2016 right for a throne, principles of naming Accepted 12 July 2016 Introduction In historiographical tradition, which is characteristic of medieval societies, the history of a nation is portrayed, first, as the history of its political elite.

  • The Frankish Empire the Germanic Tribe Known As the Franks
    The Frankish Empire The Germanic tribe known as the Franks established and ruled the Frankish Empire, in the ancient territory of Gaul (largely encompassing modern-day France and parts of modern-day Germany), from the fifth through the tenth century. Over the course of the empire’s history two familial dynasties, the Merovingian dynasty and the Carolingian dynasty, reigned over these territories. The Merovingian dynasty, under its founder King Clovis I, was responsible for uniting all of the Frankish kingdoms under one Crown. Clovis and the Merovingian dynasty expanded the presence and influence of the Franks throughout parts of Western and Central Europe. The power of the Merovingian dynasty waned by the end of the seventh century, and Pepin the Short, a member of the Carolingian family, became king in the middle of the eighth century. His ascendency to the throne launched the beginning of the Carolingian Empire. The Carolingian Empire ruled the Frankish realm until the end of the tenth century. It was one of the most powerful empires in Western Europe during the Middle Ages. The modern state of France would evolve from the Frankish Empire and medieval Francia. The Franks and the Origins of the Frankish Empire The Franks were originally a Germanic tribe that invaded portions of Roman territory from the third to the fifth century. The Salian Franks emerged as a subgroup of the early Franks and were known for being particularly militaristic. They would also go on to spread Christianity throughout Western Europe. King Clovis (ca. 466–511) was the first Frankish king and was responsible for uniting the disparate Frankish tribes into one kingdom, called Francia.

  • Saint Clotilde
    Saint Clotilde DIED 545 | FEAST DAY: JUNE 3 he Catholic Clotilda persuaded her pagan husband, King Clovis of the T Franks, to allow their children to be baptized and eventually witnessed his baptism in 496 in Reims, France. But her 34-year widowhood was marked by family fights over power. Clotilda took charge of the three sons of Clodomir, her son killed in 524 by a cousin bent on revenge. Another son, the ambitious Childebert, killed the two older grandsons in her care. The third grandson, called Cloud or Clodoald, gave up his claim to the Frankish throne and became a monk. Clotilda left Paris, devoting her final years to charitable works in Tours. CNS Photos Catholic Copyright © 2021, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington, DC. All rights reserved. Current SAINT OF THE WEEK A Moment of Grace A Prayer for Refugees God of our Wandering Ancestors, Long have we known That your heart is with the refugee: That you were born into time In a family of refugees Fleeing violence in their homeland, Who then gathered up their hungry child And fled into alien country. Their cry, your cry, resounds through the ages: “Will you let me in?” Give us hearts that break open When our brothers and sisters turn to us with that same cry. Then surely all these things will follow: Ears will no longer turn deaf to their voices. Eyes will see a moment for grace instead of a threat. Tongues will not be silenced but will instead advocate. And hands will reach out— working for peace in their homeland, working for justice in the lands where they seek safe haven.
