THE CATHEDRAL BUILDER The Dedicatory Service of our new Cathedral is the fruition of the hopes and aspirations of clergy and laity during the past seventy'five years. In those days our people were poor in material things and they could scarcely foresee the prosperity that would come to our beloved America and to their children. Our priests were few, poor and overwhelmed with the manifold duties incidental not only to keeping alive the spark of faith in their people, but also the urgent necessity of providing churches, schools and institutions. Our Diocesan History reveals the fact that quite frequently when a pastor had completed his material labors, death claimed him, and another enjoyed the fruits of his priestly endeavors for God and for His Church. The Catholic Church throughout the ages has been the Mother of the Arts and Sciences. Many of the greatest achievements in music, poetry, painting, architecture, literature and sculpture have received their in' spiration from, and their exemplification in, the great Cathedrals and Churches of the past. Genius is never satisfied with the mere ability to create, but craves and demands the opportunity, and a field, for the exhibition of its talents.

  • The Contributions of George G. Higgins to the Social Action Movement in the United States, 1944 – 1980
    The Contributions of George G. Higgins to the Social Action Movement in the United States, 1944 – 1980 Daniel R. Conkle Pensacola, FL M.A., University of Virginia, 2013 M.A., Catholic University of America, 2001 B.A., University of the South, 1997 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Religious Studies University of Virginia December, 2013 Abstract George G. Higgins joined the Social Action Department (SAD) of the National Catholic Welfare Conference in the spring of 1944, an organization which sought to implement the social teachings of the Catholic Church within American society. Higgins served the American Catholic hierarchy in this regard for over 36 years, acting on their behalf as the Assistant Director of the SAD from 1946 to 1954, as a director of the department from 1954 to 1972, and finally as a consultant to the United States Catholic Conference from 1972 to 1980. As a member of the department, Higgins followed the agenda of his director, Fr. Raymond A. McGowan, who sought to implement the Industry Council Plan of Pope Pius XI’s 1937 encyclical, Quadragesimo Anno. It was an effort that Higgins would consistently promote throughout his years of service to the American Catholic Church, and one which influenced the development and understanding of Catholic social action both prior to and following the Second Vatican Council of the 1960s. The historical account of Higgins’s actions during these 36 years of service details the efforts of the American Catholic Church to influence the social order of the United States, as well as the development of its understanding of social action from the 1940s to the 1980s.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Bands of Brothers: The Negotiation of Identity in the Congregation of the Mission’s Polish Vice-Province in the United States, 1903—1975. A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of History School of Arts and Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Charles R. Kaczy ński Washington, D.C. 2010 Bands of Brothers: The Negotiation of Identity in the Congregation of the Mission’s Polish Vice-Province in the United States, 1903—1975. Charles R. Kaczy ński Director: Leslie Tentler, Ph.D. The historical literature on late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Polish Catholic immigration to the United States includes numerous studies of conflicts between the immigrant laity and members of the Catholic clergy, both Polish- and American-born. While scholars have closely studied the laity’s motivations and the conflicts’ outcomes, little attention has been given to the Polish immigrant clergy who came to the United States to minister to the spiritual needs of the laity and their perspective on these tensions. This dissertation fills a gap in this historical literature by examining the history of the Polish Vice-Province in the United States of the Congregation of the Mission (Vincentian Fathers) from the first Polish Missionaries’ arrival in 1903 to the reconstitution of the Polish Vice-Province as the autonomous New England Province in 1975. Drawing on theoretical frameworks developed by T. H. Breen and Benedict Anderson, this dissertation analyzes the role that competing ethnic and clerical identities played in the Polish Vice-Province’s ability to resolve conflicts with its Mother Province in Poland and the Eastern Province of the United States as well as with Polish secular priests serving in Catholic dioceses throughout the eastern half of the United States.
