(page 14) May 2017 3 la reflexiónDEL OBISPO por Obispo Michael G. Duca Abrir el Corazón en Preparación para Cambios Pastorales ada año trae nuevos desafíos para un obispo. Este año, uno de los desafíos es la jubilación de tres de nuestros sacerdotes/párrocos: Cel Padre Pike Thomas, el Padre Phil Michiels y el Padre James McLelland quienes se retiran el 1º de Junio del 2017. Les comparto esta parte del trabajo de la vida de la iglesia este mes porque siento que vamos a tener un gran número de cambios en la diócesis por el retiro de estos tres párrocos, lo cual afectará a varias de nuestras parroquias más grandes. De hecho, para el momento que reciban esta edición de la revista The Catholic Connection, tal vez ya habrán escuchado algunos de estos cambios. Cuando asigno un sacerdote como párroco, lo escojo primeramente y sobre todo para que los ame con el amor de un pastor, como un padre espiritual, para que los nutra espiritualmente (así como él mismo) a través de los sacramentos, predicando y en su liderazgo pastoral de la parroquia. Quiero que el pastor construya una familia parroquial fuerte que tenga como misión, alcanzar más allá de si misma en caridad y ser testigo de Cristo dentro y fuera. Su pastor debe también ser administrador temporal de los recursos de la parroquia (esto quiere decir pagando las cuentas y manteniendo el aire frío durante el verano) y alcanzar a todos los miembros de la parroquia: jóvenes, solteros, casados, divorciados, ancianos, enfermos, a los que se están preparando para el matrimonio, los que tienen dudas, los aprenda los nombres de todos los fieles y se que están en problemas, y aún a los corajudos y testarudos. En breve, les familiarice con todos los ministerios pastorales. pido mucho a mis párrocos y a sus vicarios parroquiales (aún más difíciles Los párrocos y fieles necesitan ser pacientes de encontrar), pero sé que cada uno de

    SOLEMN CONSECRATION AND INSTALLATION OF MONSIGNOR FRANCIS MALONE AS THE THIRD BISHOP OF SHREVEPORT TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 2020, 2:00 P.M. CONVENTION CENTER, SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA Your Excellency Metropolitan Gregory Aymond, Your Excellency Bishop Anthony Taylor, Your Excellency Bishop Michael Duca, Your Excellency Bishop Designate Francis Malone, My Brother Archbishops and Bishops, Dear Priests, Deacons, Consecrated Religious, Lay Faithful of the Diocese of Shreveport, Dear Friends: I am truly pleased to be with you here for the Consecration and Installation of the third Bishop of Shreveport, His Excellency Francis Malone. I want to express my gratitude to Bishop Michael Duca of Baton Rouge for his years of service as Ordinary of Shreveport and to the Very Reverend Peter Mangum who has served as Administrator of the Diocese for more than a year. Bishop-Elect Malone, in a recent visit of American Bishops to Rome, the Holy Father told them: “You must be close to God in your prayer and your personal life; you must be close to your priests as a father and walk with them; and you must be close to your people.” (Remarks to Bishops of Ecclesiastical Region I, November 2019) Your years of experience in the Diocese of Little Rock have taught you what it means to be close to the People of God. These last years as Pastor of Christ the King, have honed your pastoral skills, which complement your administrative gifts. At your press conference, tongue-in-cheek, you said, “I’m a big shot!” You are a “big shot” with “big responsibilities.” The Big “Big Shot” – Pope Francis – ordained some bishops at the Vatican Basilica and, in the course of his homily, reflected: “In the Church entrusted to you, be faithful custodians and dispensers of the mysteries of Christ.

  • HISTORY of the NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE for GIRL SCOUTS and CAMP FIRE by Virginia Reed
    Revised 3/11/2019 HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE FOR GIRL SCOUTS AND CAMP FIRE By Virginia Reed The present National Catholic Committee for Girl Scouts and Camp Fire dates back to the early days of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and the National Catholic Welfare Conference. Although it has functioned in various capacities and under several different names, this committee's purpose has remained the same: to minister to the Catholic girls in Girl Scouts (at first) and Camp Fire (since 1973). Beginnings The relationship between Girl Scouting and Catholic youth ministry is the result of the foresight of Juliette Gordon Low. Soon after founding the Girl Scout movement in 1912, Low traveled to Baltimore to meet James Cardinal Gibbons and consult with him about her project. Five years later, Joseph Patrick Cardinal Hayes of New York appointed a representative to the Girl Scout National Board of Directors. The cardinal wanted to determine whether the Girl Scout program, which was so fine in theory, was equally sound in practice. Satisfied on this point, His Eminence publicly declared the program suitable for Catholic girls. In due course, the four U.S. Cardinals and the U.S. Catholic hierarchy followed suit. In the early 1920's, Girl Scout troops were formed in parochial schools and Catholic women eagerly became leaders in the program. When CYO was established in the early 1930's, Girl Scouting became its ally as a separate cooperative enterprise. In 1936, sociologist Father Edward Roberts Moore of Catholic charities, Archdiocese of New York, studied and approved the Girl Scout program because it was fitting for girls to beome "participating citizens in a modern, social democracy." This support further enhanced the relationship between the Catholic church and Girl Scouting.
