THERESA OF AVILA IN WEST ROXBURY A NOTE FROM MONSIGNOR HELMICK During the past several months, we have done several things in our parish to mark the 500 th Anniversary of the Birth of Saint Theresa of Avila. Among these things was the use of quotations from her in the parish bulletin and on our webpage, to help us grow in the process of having God at the center of our lives, to help us realize, as Theresa did, how important prayer and reflection on God’s love are for each of us, on a daily basis. We will Joann Coughlan, Father Raymond Helmick, S.J., His Eminence Sean continue to have a weekly quotation from the works of Cardinal O’Malley, Monsignor William M. Helmick Theresa in our bulletin, with the hope that this will be helpful for anyone who reads the bulletin. During this Theresian year, our Annual Lenten Mission was led by Father George Evans. He is a student of the life and writings of Theresa, and his homilies were a wonderful combination of the readings for the Lenten Weekdays and the life and actions of Theresa. It was very effectively done. At the end of May, we had a musical and dramatic performance in the Main Church, entitled “The Interior Castle”. This event was presented by a group of professional musicians and actors from Washington, D.C. Through the eyes of a young 21 st century journalist and her editor, it looked at how Theresa’s life would affect people living in our present culture. It was something different, but I think- - - and hope- - - it was helpful to the people who at- tended. The production was also seen at the Carmelite Monastery in Roxbury and at Boston College. The high point of the celebration of the 500th Anniversary of the Birth of Theresa of Avila was the 12 o’clock Mass last Sunday, October 18. His Eminence, Cardinal Seán O’Malley, was the celebrant of the Mass, along with Bishop Emilio Allué, Bishop Arthur Kennedy, Father Richard Bradford, Father Peter Nolan, Father James Flavin, Father John Nichols, Father Raymond Helmick, S.J., and your humble servant. I was most grateful to the many parishion- ers who came to this Mass and gave such a warm welcome to our Cardinal. In a most special way, I am grateful to Joann Coughlan, who assisted Father Raymond with the preview of his new mosaic about the life of Saint Theresa in the Pavilion. I am most grateful as well to Brandon Santini and the members of the Parish Choir, to the altar serv- ers, and to everyone who prepared for and participated in the Cardinal’s Mass, including the custodians who had the Church sparkling for the event. Cardinal O’Malley gave a remarkable homily, which I hope to print when I receive a copy of it. His homily was based on the Scripture Readings of last Sunday, but he wove the life and personal holiness of Saint Theresa in to the readings in a wonderful way. He described Theresa as a person who really understood the words of Jesus, which were part of the Gospel Reading from Saint Mark last Sunday:”…whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many.” The Cardinal gave some examples of how Theresa of Avila accomplished this in her life. Five hundred years later, with the help of God’s grace, may all of us try always to do the same. Reverend Monsignor William M. Helmick Pastor 2 WEST ROXBURY , MASSACHUSETTS MASSES DURING THE WEEK Veterans’ Mass MONDAY November 8, 2015 6:45 A.M.

  • Transitional Justice and the Legacy of Child Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church
    CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE AND THE LEGACY OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH Elizabeth B. Ludwin King* I. INTRODUCTION In 1998, John Geoghan, a Massachusetts priest, was defrocked— stripped of any rights to perform as an ordained priest—for molesting children.1 Four years later, the Archbishop of Boston, Bernard Law, arguably one of the most influential people in the state, resigned from his position upon revelations that he knew of Geoghan’s actions and yet chose to send him to other parishes where he would still be in an environment with minors.2 In other parishes around and outside the United States, similar scenarios were, and had been, occurring for years: priests using their positions in order to engage in sexual acts with minors.3 When survivors began to speak up, they and their families were often offered “hush money” in order to prevent a scandal.4 Although the sexual abuse crisis came to the forefront in 2002 due to the investigative journalist team at the Boston Globe, reports of the sexual abuse of children by members of the clergy had been * Adjunct Professor, University of Denver Sturm School of Law.

When it was designed and built one hundred years ago, it was hailed as "an excellent example of Gothic architecture ... III feet long and 55 feet, 9 inches wide ... with room to seat 650 people ... and a tower 128 feet high." But size is not the reason Saint Paul's is a great church. There are far more impressive churches across the land. Saint Paul's is great because of its people. When you come right down to it, a church is more than a building. IT IS PEOPLE.

  • The Irish-American Experience in the Fiction of Edwin O'connor
    THE IRISH-AMERICAN EXPERIENCE IN THE FICTION OF EDWIN O'CONNOR By ROBERT DAVID BANKS f' Bachelor of Arts Boston College Chestnut Hill,· Massachusetts 1972 Master of Arts Boston College Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts 1975 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY July, 1983 -lh.Q..:,{';;> \1~bl) 0~1~ 1., t'Ofl.';L THE IRISH-AMERICAN EXPERIENCE IN THE FICTION OF EDWIN O'CONNOR Thesis Approved: Thesis Adviser /. J-- . Ag fl e~d ) Jr .._ ~ · fl~'de ~ollege ii PREFACE In his fiction, Edwin O'Connor chronicled the final stages in the acculturation of the American Irish and the resulting attenuation of ethnic Irish distinctiveness. He focused his fictional lens on those three areas of the Irish-American experience that had the most influence on and were most influenced by 11fe in America -- politics, religion, and the family. This study takes an interdisciplinary approach to O'Connor's novels about the American Irish. The following chapters will provide a brief historical analysis of Irish political, religious, and family life, followed by a thorough textual examination of O'Connor's handling of these themes in his fiction. Through this antiphonal style of presentation, I hope to show not only how accurately O'Connor apprehended historical facts about the American Irish, but also how skillfully he animated and enriched them through his craft as a novelist. I was first introduced to the fiction of Edwin O'Connor in 1966, the year in which his last novel was published.
