  • Parish Apostolate: New Opportunities in the Local Church
    IV. PARISH APOSTOLATE: NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN THE LOCAL CHURCH by John E. Rybolt, C.M. Beginning with the original contract establishing the Community, 17 April 1625, Vincentians have worked in parishes. At fIrst they merely assisted diocesan pastors, but with the foundation at Toul in 1635, the fIrst outside of Paris, they assumed local pastorates. Saint Vincent himself had been the pastor of Clichy-Ia-Garenne near Paris (1612-1625), and briefly (1617) of Buenans and Chatillon­ les-Dombes in the diocese of Lyons. Later, as superior general, he accepted eight parish foundations for his community. He did so with some misgiving, however, fearing the abandonment of the country poor. A letter of 1653 presents at least part of his outlook: ., .parishes are not our affair. We have very few, as you know, and those that we have have been given to us against our will, or by our founders or by their lordships the bishops, whom we cannot refuse in order not to be on bad terms with them, and perhaps the one in Brial is the last that we will ever accept, because the further along we go, the more we fmd ourselves embarrassed by such matters. l In the same spirit, the early assemblies of the Community insisted that parishes formed an exception to its usual works. The assembly of 1724 states what other Vincentian documents often said: Parishes should not ordinarily be accepted, but they may be accepted on the rare occasions when the superior general .. , [and] his consul­ tors judge it expedient in the Lord.2 229 Beginnings to 1830 The founding document of the Community's mission in the United States signed by Bishop Louis Dubourg, Fathers Domenico Sicardi and Felix De Andreis, spells out their attitude toward parishes in the new world, an attitude differing in some respects from that of the 1724 assembly.

This sentiment is echoed in the refrain for today’s responsorial psalm: “The Lord is near to all who call upon him” (Psalm 145:18a). Saint Paul is the embodiment of someone who constantly sought the Lord. In the excerpt we read today from his letter to the Philippians, we find Saint Paul toward the end of his life, a life he describes as completely consonant with Christ. He writes, “For to me life is Christ” (Philippians 1:21). To find out what it means to live life completely in accord with Christ we need look no further than today’s Gospel. There we find that God’s love and mercy are immeasurable for all those who seek and call upon the Lord.

Jean Schmidt, MUR 6494. i On April 30,2012 Rep Schmidt filed a quarterly report with the House Ethics Committee regarding the activities of her legal expense fund.' The report shpw^ that Rep. Schmidt has raised $5000 toward the nearly half a million dollars of illegal payments made on her behalf.^ As demonstrated in my origind complaint, it is irrefutable that the payments made by the Turkish Coalition of America constitute campaign contributions. There are a few specific issues to which I would like to direct your attention. L AOR 2011-20 Since the filing of my complaint and the initiation of MUR 6494, Rep. Schmidt has submitted and withdrawn a letter requesting permission to use campaign funds to refund portions of the payments at issue in MUR 6494 ("AOR 2011-20**)- While the Conunission has been less than candid regarding the conditions under which AOR 2011-20 was withdrawn from the EEC website, it seems clear that it was removed, at least in part, due to a determination that Mr. Gieenberg, one of the subjects of the complaint underlying MUR 6494, was less than completely forthright with the Conunission in the AOR 2011-20 letter.' Specifically, failing to inform the Commission that the legal fees Greenberg claimed to be seeking to pay had in fact already been paid by the Turkish Coalition of America ("TCA**).

Apelian, Loveland, OH, 9 September 2010 Forty-four (44) States have thus far recognized the Armenian Genocide. If and when the remaining six States recognize the Genocide, all the 50 States of our Union will have officially acknowledged the Genocide. Apparently, not in all cases the sum total of the 50 States make up the Federation. We will still need the recognition of the United States Congress. I am sure that each State had its own select group of people who strived to have their state recognize the Genocide. And as in most-- if not all-- endeavors there is “ the first among equals” who drives the efforts. The work to have a State recognize the Armenian Genocide is a grassroots undertaking. There is no centralized body that has directed or directs these and such efforts. The case was no different with Ohio, the Buckeye State, nicknamed after the trees that were predominant in the State at one time. Vahe H.

  • Brooklyn's Raymond Street Jail Was Scene of Last Hanging Execution in New York State [Part 2]
    Last NY Hanging Execution -- Raymond St. Jail in Brooklyn December 1889 (Part 2) Page 1 of 13 Brooklyn's Raymond Street Jail Was Scene of Last Hanging Execution in New York State [Part 2] Raymond St. Jail that closed July 20, 1963. Photo from Page 36 of NYC Dept. of Correction 1956 annual report. The starting days of the second trail of Lyman Week's alleged killer John Greenwall-- Jan. 15 and 16, 1889 -- drew only headline-less, one-paragraph items on successive days in a New York Times column of sundry Brooklyn news bits. But the re-sentence of Greenwall to be hanged drew a fair-size Jan. 23rd story headlined Second Death Sentence. Greenwall's attorney C. F. Kinsley A gibbet -- perhaps similar to the example shown above advanced the interesting argument that the from Genesee County, N.Y. -- apparently was employed in hanging executions at Brooklyn's Raymond Street Jail and defendant couldn't be sentenced to be NYC's Tombs.
