Diocesan News Pittsburgh Catholic Diocesan news Pittsburgh Catholic. Friday. December 16. 1983 — Page 7 Bevilacqua family versio n o f e'American Dream 9 By STEPHEN KARLINCHAK t To the Church of Pittsburgh, in particular, and to western Pennsylvania, in general, Bishop Anthony Bevilacqua is the shepherd and spiritual leader of nearly one million Roman Catholics residing in six counties in the southeastern part of the state. However to his brothers and sisters, he is “ Tony,” the baby brother. To his nieces and nephews, he is “ Uncle Tony,” who officiates at marriages and baptisms. In a sense, the story of the Bevilacqua family represents a version of “ The American Dream." In addition to Anthony, who was recently installed as bishop of Pittsburgh, the children and grandchildren of Luigi and Maria Bevilacqua, Italian immigrants to the United States, made careers for themselves in medicine and health care, accounting, business, education, etc. What motivated the 10 surviving children of an immigrant to achieve "The American Dream"? “ Fear," wisecracked the second son, Angelo Bevilacqua of York, Pa. “ If you didn't go to school, you didn’t succeed.” “ Mother had an intuition about marks,” said Dr. Michael Bevilacqua, the oldest child. “ She learned enough about grades to know that only "A s ” and “ 90s” were good enough. She wanted to see them. We were a poor family. We had a feeling that to get out of the status we were in, we would need drive and an education.” "The basic intelligence was in our mother and father," added Dr. Rocco Bevilacqua, a Great Neck, N.Y., radiologist and the third son. “ The times were different," recalled Frank Bevilacqua, an engineer who resides in Simsbury, Conn. "In those days, there was a difference between right and wrong. You lived right or you didn’t go anywhere." The bishop's oldest sister, Isabella Cameron of Richmond Hill, N.Y., said that the doctors and the lawyers who patronized their father's shoe shine stand instilled upon him the need to educate his children. "M y father was sorry that he didn't have an education and he impressed upon us the need and the desire for an education," she said. The sons said that their mother had their careers pegged out.

  • The Nightmare on 17Th Street
    SEXUAL ABUSE OF MINORS BY CLERGY IN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF PHILADELPHIA OR THE NIGHTMARE ON 17TH STREET Thomas P. Doyle, J.C.D., C.A.D.C. February 20, 2017 1 Introductory Remarks The Archdiocese of Philadelphia is one of the oldest ecclesiastical jurisdictions in the United States. It was erected as a diocese in 1808 and elevated to an archdiocese in 1875. It has long had the reputation of being one of the most staunchly “Catholic” and conservative dioceses in the country. The Archdiocese also has the very dubious distinction of having been investigated by not one but three grand juries in the first decade of the new millennium. The first investigation (Grand Jury 1, 2001-2002) was prompted by the District Attorney’s desire to find factual information about sexual abuse by Catholic clergy in the Archdiocese. The second grand jury (Grand Jury 2, 2003-2005) continued the investigation that the first could not finish before its term expired. The third grand jury investigation (Grand Jury 3, 2010-2011) was triggered by reports to the District Attorney that sexual abuse by priests was still being reported in spite of assurances by the Cardinal Archbishop (Rigali) after the second Grand Jury Report was published that all children in the Archdiocese were safe because there were no priest sexual abusers still in ministry. Most of what the three Grand Juries discovered about the attitude and practices of the archbishop and his collaborators could be found in nearly every archdiocese and diocese in the United States. Victims are encouraged to approach the Church’s victim assistance coordinators and assured of confidentiality and compassionate support yet their stories and other information are regularly shared with the Church’s attorneys in direct violation of the promise made by the Church.

  • Fall 2013 Alumni Newsletter Head of School/Principal’S Message
    Class of 2013 Roanoke Catholic School Fall 2013 Alumni Newsletter Head of School/Principal’s Message Roanoke Catholic, Glorious is His Light, So Too The Success Achieved in His Name… The school greets the start of our one hundred and twenty-fourth academic year poised to expand upon a tradition emphasizing faith in the Gospel message, familial values, and the aspiration for excellence as deÀning hallmarks of the learning community. It is often said that past performance is a sound indicator of future success. Last year was a banner year for the school; we witnessed the spiritual growth and development of our students, faculty and parents. We welcomed over 70 new students to Roanoke Catholic School and we ended the year with a budget surplus which has allowed us to continue on our road to Àscal stability and growth. The Roanoke Catholic School community respects traditional values. We believe that part of our success draws upon the strength of our foundational shoulders. So many have worked so hard to ensure the school’s founding vision established in 1889. Our traditions, derived from a rich history and woven within our plan for the future, invigorates the school. The school’s “health indicators” make a clear statement of viability and strength. Student enrollment has been growing over the past several years, and we anticipate that the total school enrollment will reach 500 students in the next few years. The class of 2013 joined an impressive list of colleges and universities. These students received some $2.1 million dollars in collegiate Ànancial awards.
