It was a phrase that resounded throughout the 7:00 AM † Gary Vogel I college in a variety of different ways. My memory recalls it being chiseled † Ron Pfeiler in stone, imprinted into concrete, flapping around on flags outside in open air, TUES, July 2 and being boldly displayed on the banners that hung on the inside of most all the buildings on campus. I am still reminded of it today as it is on every alumni 7:00 AM † Ken Kraus mailing, glossy brochure, and email that I receive from my alma mater. † All Souls Eucharistic Adoration immediately It was a motto that was impressed upon us as being part of the "Loras following 7:00 AM Mass until 5:00 PM Experience." It was sort of a mantra intended to be imprinted on the hearts WED, July 3 and minds of young thinkers and future leaders who went through that St. Thomas, Apostle college. Most of all, it was a manner of life that we were encouraged to 7:00 AM Special Intention adopt as we stepped out into the world on our own. “Pro Deo et Patria.” “For God and Country.” THURS, July 4 Independence Day Experiencing it as a motto or mantra is one thing. However, adopting 9:00 AM † Donald J. Schmidt it as a manner of life is quite another thing. And it has been no better FRI, July 5 embodied than by one of Loras College's alumnus, Fr. Aloysius Schmitt. Fr. Al St. Anthony Zaccaria, Priest; was a native of St. Lucas and a priest of the Archdiocese of Dubuque. He was the first Navy Chaplain to be killed at Pearl Harbor. St. Elizabeth of Portugal 7:00 AM † Robert & Helen He died on that infamous day not mortally wounded by enemy Schroeder gunfire nor by errant shrapnel. Rather, he died by the mere fact that he chose SAT, July 6 to stay in the sinking ship in order to push sailors out to open air through a Vigil of the Fourteenth Sunday in porthole that he could not fit through himself. He died by serving his country Ordinary Time but al so by serving God through self sacrifice in saving his shipmates. He gave 4:00 PM † Jerry Richard & Family his li fe so that others might live. † Diane Fraehlich We are preparing to celebrate July 4, a.k.a. Independence Day. It is 6:00 PM † Norma Koch a national holiday during which we, I hope, will take the time to remember the † Maurice Lampe founding fathers of this great nation. We recall the incredible fortitude that it SUN, July 7 took for them to gain our independence from tyranny and establish the Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time freedoms and liberties we enjoy today. Reading our nation's history, we are 7:00 AM † Mary & Jeff Kaiser convinced that our forbearers felt as though they were divinely inspired to † Joan Breitbach establish our sovereignty. “Pro Deo et Patria.” 9:00 AM † Sharon Dunne † John Ryan Unfortunately, today, when we consider our Independence, we have a 11:00 AM Pro Populo terrible tendency to focus on the capital "I" within that word. We get too † Marlene Schrobilgen caught up and consumed with our own individual rights and liberties and often we forget about the communal dimension and intention of this celebration. We overlook the review of our founding principles in favor of reveling in grilled REST IN PEACE foods and fireworks. Bob Walke , father-in-law of Cory Ryan; Harold Weber , To some degree, I wish that we could pair the title "Independence father of Sandra Gavin, Day" with the title "Interdependence Day." Perhaps this would help us realize great grandfather of Hannah Gavin. that our individuality isn't the glue that holds this country together, but rather, it is our concern for one another and our dependence on God that makes us great. The Pledge of Allegiance emphatically states that we are one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. “Pro Deo et Patria” “For God and Country” is not just a motto to be read nor a mantra to recite but it is a manner of living that is intended to be embraced and embodied by every citizen. Make it your best effort to adopt The Parish Office will be closed on this manner of life so that the legacy of this great nation can continue for the Thursday, July 4, in observance of next generations that follow. Independence Day. The office will Fr. Phil Gibbs, Pastor reopen at 8 a.m. on Friday, July 5.

  • LIFE Portfolio Course Moves Beyond Class Experience to Support
    Spring 2015 Greetings from Hoffmann Hall! During this past academic year the Division of Business and Economics undertook two new initiatives. The first is described in our lead story. Students from across campus benefited from the investing acumen of our finance majors by being awarded a portion of the proceeds gained though the Loras Investment Fund for the Endowment (LIFE) portfolio class. The second initiative was the creation of faculty-led discussion groups. These groups provided students an opportunity to consider the impact that Catholic Social Teaching can have on their lives. Through the generosity of a benefactor, this semester’s CST initiative will bring two noted scholars to campus: Dr. Andrew Abela of Catholic University, and Dr. Patrick Murphy, from the University of Notre Dame. I believe you will find this issue of our newsletter very informative—filled with news of exciting activities and meaningful student accomplishments. As always, I entreat you to join our LinkedIn member group. It is a great way to stay connected to your school and its alumni. Be More. Be Loras. --Dr. Doug Gambralll, Ed.D.

  • 2018 Iowa Religious Leaders Statement on Climate Change
    We can no longer wait… 2018 Iowa Religious Leaders Statement on Climate Change Global climate change is one of the most pressing moral challenges facing our world. Today, we call on Iowans to find and implement solutions to climate change. As religious leaders representing diverse faith traditions in Iowa, we offer the following shared, core beliefs that compel, empower, and guide faithful action. As people of faith: • We must act to solve climate change because it threatens our brothers and sisters in our neighborhoods, throughout our state, across our country, and around the world. We are all neighbors put at risk by a changing climate. • We can find solutions to climate change by embracing a spirit of hope. Earth sustains our lives. Creation provides a world of abundance. This abundance offers us the path out of our dependence on fossil fuels and the environmental destruction associated with greenhouse gas pollution. • We know climate justice requires we bear each other’s burdens equitably. It is not fair that climate change is affecting most those who are vulnerable and least able to adapt: the poor, the young, the elderly, the sick, and those living in developing countries. Solutions to climate change will unleash new economic opportunities the benefits of which must be shared equitably. • We are required to work with nature to find solutions to climate change. We are part of nature, not independent from it. Our call to be stewards of the Earth, to care for creation that nourishes us all, demands we work with nature rather than against it and share our first fruits with those who need them most.

The contest allowed students to portray an interpretation of the birth of Jesus Christ as seen through their eyes. A total of 53 entries were submitted from 27 schools this year, and four winners were selected from contest entries among four age categories. The image on the left is by Kristen Landsman, a senior at Delone Catholic High School in McSherrystown, and the image at the right is by Abby Caruso, an eighth grader at St. Catherine Labouré School in Harrisburg. The other two winning images were featured on the cover of the December 8 edition. The four winning pieces were used as illustrations on Bishop Gainer’s Christmas cards this year, and the students are pictured on page 3 with the bishop. Christmas 2017 800 AD.

  • Parish History Clermont, Iowa
    3/12/2015 Saint Peter's Parish History Clermont, Iowa This is the html version of the file http://www.stjosephtheworkercluster.com/sp_history.pdf. Google automatically generates html versions of documents as we crawl the web. Page 1 r Saint Peter's Parish History Clermont, Iowa The history ofSt. Peter's Parish, Clermont, Iowa, starts with the first Catholic settlers to make this locality their home. Peter McGuire and his sister Bridget from County Kerry Ireland and Michael Fleming and his wife came to the area in 1842. Under the direction of Bishop Loras, Father O'Byrne from Elkader traveled to Claremont to administer the sacraments and say mass. At first, St. Peter's Parish Masses were said in the homes of the first settlers, Peter McGuire and Michael Fleming. Father 0 'Byrne also said mass in all the surrounding territory. Early in 1853 the Claremont Catholic community was severed from the Elkader Parish. Bishop Loras sent Father McCullough to Claremont to serve as the pastor. Father McCullough was instructed by the Bishop to secure sixty acres ofland from the U.S. Government four miles northeast of Claremont. The church and rectory were erected with seven acres laid aside for cemetery plots. Bishop Loras sent his nephew Father DeCailly. Father DeCailly oversaw the erection of the first Catholic Church. About this first church we know the following: it was built on a rolling bluff overlooking a rocky creek; it was built of logs, cut and donated by the early settlers. It was a rugged structure, measuring 20 x 30 feet, with earthen floor and without ornaments except for the altar, which was made of pine boards carried by oxcart from McGregor.

  • Priest-Historian: 75 Years Later, Pearl Harbor 'Such a Powerful Event'
    Priest-historian: 75 years later, Pearl Harbor ‘such a powerful event’ By Mark Pattison Catholic News Service WASHINGTON – A Catholic military chaplain and historian says the attack on Pearl Harbor, even 75 years later, continues to rivet the attention of Americans because it is “such a powerful event.” As the anniversary of the Dec. 7, 1941, attack neared, Father Daniel Mode detailed the effect of the Japanese attack on the Hawaiian outpost. “Before that, we were debating whether to get involved with World War II or not. We were basically a neutral country, trying not to get engaged in it. It (the attack) changed the tenor, and the president’s resolve, Father Mode told Catholic News Service. “It brought our country together to fight a common threat.” Speaking in a telephone interview from the Pentagon, where he works for the chief of chaplains, Father Mode said he can see a parallel between Pearl Harbor and the 9/11 terror attacks. “They’re both cataclysmic events that galvanized our country,” he said. “One was more obviously targeted toward the civilian population, one toward the military population,” the priest added, “but both certainly were defining moments in our country.” As a child, young Daniel Mode lived at Pearl Harbor for four years while his father was on duty in the Navy. “I vividly remember as a young kid – fourth-, fifth-, sixth-grade – going to the (USS) Arizona Memorial. As an altar server, I served Mass. It made a great impact on me. It was probably the seeds that were planted in my heart as I discerned my vocation to the priesthood.
