  • St. Thomas the Apostle and Our Call to Faith
    INM-KMJ-CIR 17/07-2018 JULY 2018 St. Thomas the Apostle and our Call to Faith My dear Confreres, Affectionate greetings from the Provincial House! We have just celebrated the feast of the Apostle Thomas, patron of our Province. The feast gives us an opportunity to make a reflection on the figure and character of the apostle, who not only brought the faith to our land twenty centuries ago, but also shed his blood in defence of it in this very city which is rightly known as the city of St. Thomas (San Thome). It is in Chennai that St Thomas spent his last years; here he lived, here he worked, and here he evangelized. We are privileged to have him as the patron of our Province. Among all the apostles, Thomas is the only one who dared to cross the frontiers of the ancient Roman Empire for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus. His hallowed tomb in the beautiful crypt of San Thome Cathedral basilica is a constant reminder to us of Chennai’s and our Province’s apostolic link. St. John Chrysostom, as early as the 4th century, said of Thomas’s mission in India that while “he would hardly venture to go with Jesus as far as the neighbouring town of Bethany, after the Pentecost, he would travel without Him to implant the Faith in faraway India where, even to this day, the faithful call themselves St. Thomas Christians.” Though St. Thomas appears in the Gospel of Matthew (10:3), Mark (3:18), and Luke (6:15) and the Acts (1:13), it is in the Gospel of John that his personality comes to its full stature.

  • SONS and DAUGHTERS of the LIGHT a Pastoral Plan for Ministry with Young Adults November 12, 1996, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
    SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE LIGHT A Pastoral Plan for Ministry with Young Adults November 12, 1996, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. DEDICATION We dedicate this vision and pastoral plan to Catholic young adults--men and women in their late teens, twenties and thirties. We do so because we realize the tremendous gifts which they bring to church life. As single people or married couples, with or without children, their presence enriches our society and our Church. We hope this plan will be an effective tool to connect young adults with Jesus Christ and his challenge to bring the Gospel -- with its message of hope -- to society. PREFACE: A MESSAGE TO YOUNG ADULTS Dear Brothers and Sisters, As we began to write this pastoral plan we chose first to meet with some of you. These meetings, where you shared the joys and struggles of your daily life, have been a time of grace and understanding for us. We applaud your desire to belong to a community that shares similar convictions and to learn more about sacred Scripture, tradition and the teachings of the Church. We acknowledge the pain many of you speak of in feeling unwelcome and alone—strangers in the house of God. For any failure to extend hospitality, we apologize and promise greater efforts to welcome you into church life. We hope that anyone who enters a catholic church for mass, or at any other time, will feel comfortable and welcome. We also acknowledge that some of you recently have joined the Church. We welcome you. Others of you may be tempted to leave.

Were it not for him, Jesus would not have been born in a poor stable. The innkeeper who presumably refused a room to Joseph and Mary forced them to find shelter in a shepherd’s cave. All Luke says is that “there was no room for them in the inn.” Almost every Christmas pageant includes the innkeeper. He is often portrayed as a gruff old man who cannot be bothered with a poor carpenter and a young bride. Sometimes he is a busy host, overcome with the demands of running an inn, during this busy time caused by Herod, who called for a census to be taken. Once in a while the innkeeper is a compassionate soul who has sympathy for Mary and Joseph and offers them hospitality, even if it is meager. I prefer to think of the innkeeper as truly kind, who just faces a challenge with love and concern. continued on page 2...

  • Events List April 1974-June 2013
    Irish Heritage Irish Heritage was established in 1974 by Ethna and Charles Kennedy to promote the best of Irish and Anglo-Irish music, literature and drama to audiences in Britain. It had its first performance on 4th April 1974 in the Hall of the Inner Temple in London – a bi-centenary tribute to Oliver Goldsmith. Ethna and Charles recognised, at the time, the need to enhance the image of Ireland and its cultural heritage through the promotion of high quality musical and other artistic events. From the beginning they set a standard of professional performances which has endured to this day. Charles Kennedy died in 1979 but Ethna has remained as Artistic Director and is the driving force of Irish Heritage. The listing of events below is a reminder of the breadth and variety of performances down through the years. A separate listing of the artists who have appeared in Irish Heritage performances has also been produced and is also displayed on this website. These listings are up to date as at June 2013 and have been compiled from records held by Ethna and Committee members. We regret if there are any omissions or errors.
