  • SPRING 2020 2020 Annual Report Pre-Proof Highlighting Illinois State Scholars Alumni Updates Letter from the President Celebrating Growth in Our School Community
    VISION PROGRESS AND PLANS AT ST. LAURENCE HIGH SCHOOL SPRING 2020 2020 Annual Report Pre-Proof Highlighting Illinois State Scholars Alumni Updates Letter from the President Celebrating growth in our school community Dear Friends of St. Laurence, St. Laurence is proud of its most recent accomplishments. We live our mission and provide a Catholic education to our students. Most importantly, we embrace our values of compassion, courage, excellence and community. How do we do this? During a time of transformation, there is one constant – growth. After another successful entrance exam, St. Laurence is on track to have sustainable growth by accepting 250 incoming freshmen per year. In addition, since we stand up for what is right, we continue to minimize tuition cost increases and remain one of the most valuable Catholic high schools within the Archdiocese – nearly $2,000 more affordable than any of our peer institutions. Transformation requires courageous leaders. These leaders rallied the community and remained brave when confronted with uncertainty. I want to thank our entire community as we finish our third year of a successful co-educational transition. In the next two years, we will grow to over 900 students with over 40% of them being female! As we pursue excellence in all endeavors, our academic growth is off the charts! Our teachers and students embrace a growth mindset, which leads to achievement. Academic programs are producing students that improve an average of 15 national percentile points from entrance exam to ACT. In 2021, we will become one of three Catholic high schools in Illinois to be an International Baccalaureate World School upon completing our candidacy phase.

Hilary offers an understanding of salvation in which Christ saves humanity by assuming every single person into his body in the incarnation. My dissertation contributes to scholarship on Hilary in two ways. First, I demonstrate that Hilary’s teaching concerning Christ’s assumption of all humanity is a unique development of Latin sources. Because of his understanding of Christ’s assumption of all humanity, Hilary, along with several Greek fathers, has been accused of heterodoxy resulting from Greek Platonic influence. I demonstrate that Hilary is not influenced by Platonism; rather, though his redemption model is unique among the early Latin fathers, he derives his theology from a combination of Latin-influenced biblical exegesis and classical Roman themes.

  • The Saint Andrew News
    The Saint Andrew News St. Andrew Orthodox Church - Riverside, CA Dear Parishioners, As we launch out into this first week of Great Lent we find our systems shocked and we find that the daily routine and rhythm of life is not at all easy to break. Here is the counsel of the Lord as we find it in the Matins of the 1st day of Great Lent: ―Let us joyfully begin the all-hallowed season of abstinence; and let us shine with the bright radiance of the holy commandments of Christ our God, with the brightness of love and the splendor of prayer, with the purity of holiness and the strength of good courage. So, clothed in raiment of light, let us hasten to the Holy Resurrection on the third day, that shines upon the world with the glory of eternal life." There are two important attitudes that we must have at this time according to this text, and that we must maintain throughout the whole of Lent. These two dispositions Volume 18 Issue 2 & 3 are: 1. A spirit of joy. 2. A courageous resolve to spiritually struggle. February/March 2009 1. "Let us joyfully begin..." Remember my dear ones that Lent is a great gift from Published Monthly God to us! It is an immense honor to keep the Lent, to make spiritual progress towards the Lord and His Kingdom, and to receive so much grace as we do St. Andrew Orthodox Church of during the fast. And remember that this is all so that Riverside is a parish of the Self-ruled Antiochian Orthodox we can authentically and properly embrace and rejoice Christian Archdiocese of North in our Savior's Resurrection from the dead on the America, Diocese of the West, Third Day! Above all this Lent try to fast, to serve, to the See of the Right Reverend deny yourself, to pray, to go to church, with joy and JOSEPH, Bishop of not with sourness.

  • The Preservation of 4Ezra in the Vulgate: Thanks to Ambrose, Not Jerome
    THE PRESERVATION OF 4EZRA IN THE VULGATE: THANKS TO AMBROSE, NOT JEROME Karina Martin Hogan One of the most dramatic moments in the reception history of 4Ezra was the publication in 1875 by Robert Bensly of a “missing fragment” of the Latin version, comprising the verses now numbered 36 to 106 of chapter 7, that he had discovered in a ninth-century codex containing five books of Ezra in Latin, in the Bibliothèque Communale of Amiens.1 These verses, though not entirely unknown in the West, since they had been translated in the 18th century from the Arabic version, were thought to be completely miss- ing from the Vulgate version.2 The source of the lacuna had been identified a decade earlier by a Professor Gildermeister, who discovered that a page had been excised from the Codex Sangermanensis, a Vulgate manuscript from the Benedictine monastery of St. Germain des Prés that is dated to “the eighth year of Louis le Débonnaire,” i.e., 821/2ce. “The inevitable conclu- sion,” Gildermeister had written to Bensly, “is that all known MSS [of 4Ezra], since none have been found without this lacuna, were derived from the Codex Sangermanensis.”3 Since Bensly’s discovery of the Codex Ambianen- sis, several Vulgate manuscripts that include the so-called missing fragment of 4Ezra have come to light, mostly of Spanish provenance.4 Still, the fact that a single manuscript with a page excised could have had such an impact on the transmission of 4Ezra in the West implies that the Latin version of 4Ezra was not very widely distributed in Europe prior to the ninth century.
