When 2020 began it seemed like it was going to be a great year. However, all that changed quickly and so many will remember 2020 as the year of the Coronavirus Pandemic. I do not think anyone could have predicted something like this would ever happen in modern times. By mid-year many of us were sheltering in place, wearing masks, and trying to keep our families healthy. While many of us will remember the challenging times that we faced, we are happy to report that at the Catholic Foundation we faced many of these challenges and turned them into accom- plishments. We set up our home offices and began a new routine. We quickly learned how to set up zoom meetings so we could communicate with our donors and we began to re-envision our events like our annual Bishop’s Cup. I would like to thank all our donors. Because of your support we were able to meet our membership goal. As you know, it is through our membership donations that we can operate the Foundation office, so we do not have to charge management fees to each of our trust.

  • CCJR ANNUAL MEETING PROCEEDING the Pope Francis
    Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations CCJR ANNUAL MEETING PROCEEDING The Pope Francis Effect and Catholic-Jewish Relations1 Noam E. Marans, American Jewish Committee In evaluating the trajectory of Catholic-Jewish Relations in the Pope Francis era, one picture is worth a thousand words. Pope Francis has identified Marc Chagall’s White Cru- cifixion as one of his favorite paintings.2 In the aftermath of Kristallnacht in 1938, when hundreds of European synagogues were torched, foreshadowing greater evil yet to come, Chagall artistically interpreted the threat of Nazism within the continu- um of anti-Semitism. A “Jewish Jesus” is on the cross, wearing a tallit (prayer shawl) loincloth and surrounded by scenes of persecuted and fleeing Jews. A synagogue and its Torah scrolls are engulfed in flames, torched by a Nazi brownshirt. Using conflicting imagery, Chagall delivers his warning: the Jews who were persecuted as Christ-killers are now crucified as Jesus the Jew once was. Pope Francis did not hesitate to publicly herald a painting featuring a syncretistic “Jewish Jesus” that certainly has the potential to offend, notwithstanding the facts of Jesus’ historic Jewishness and the painter’s Jewish identity. It speaks volumes about Francis’ empathy with the Jewish people and lack of concern that his admiration for the painting might be controversial or misinterpreted. And the absence of negative 1 A version of this paper was delivered on October 26, 2014 at the CCJR (Council of Centers on Jewish-Christian Relations) 13th Annual Meeting in Mobile, Alabama.

  • Epiphany 125Th Anniversary Book
    History of Epiphany Parish, Sayre Pennsylvania! When Father John Costello was made Pastor of Holy Ghost Church at Athens in 1875, I don’t think he had any idea how much his parish would grow and expand during his 24 year stay in the “Valley.” Holy Ghost Parish included all of Athens Township. What is Sayre today was then Pine Plains, a section of the township, and what became South Waverly was Athens Township. The parish also included Ridgebury and Windham. Father Costello was 28 years old as he began his fruitful success here. In 1878 Sayre became the division headquarters for the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Two years later, the population stood at 800. The repair facility for the Lehigh continued to grow and by 1890 the population had grown to 3,200. With this growth came many immigrants from Ireland, Italy and Eastern Europe, many of them having strong ties to the Roman Catholic faith. And so begins the history of Epiphany Parish in Sayre. On Sunday May 12, 1888 Father John J. Costello, pastor of Holy Ghost Parish in Athens, met with his growing congregation in Sayre at the school house. It was decided to break ground for a new church in Sayre. H. J. Baldwin, of Waverly was hired as the contractor and work on the new church began. Construction seemed to move along rapidly. Three churches were being built in Sayre in 1888, Epiphany, Church of the Redeemer, and the Baptist Church. The corner-stone for the new church was laid on Sunday August 19, 1888.
