  • Homeless Jesus Statue Gives Comfort to the Men of SJH
    Winter 2017-18 1 Homeless Jesus Statue Gives Comfort to the Men of SJH st On July 31 the Saint John’s Hospice (SJH) family of friends and supporters gathered together outside the shelter on Race Street, to mark a very special occasion for Catholic Social Services and the city of Philadelphia: the dedication and blessing of the Homeless Jesus statue. This life-size bronze statue is a depiction of Christ as a homeless person sleeping on a park bench. The figure’s face and body are covered, with only its feet exposed to show wounds from the crucifixion. This powerful image is the vision and creation of Canadian sculptor, Timothy Schmalz. The statue, which has been replicated numerous times, can be found outside of churches and cathedrals around the world. Places such as Dublin, Washington, D.C., Madrid, and Vatican City each have their own Homeless Jesus. It is Pictured L to R: Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Schmaltz's mission to have this statue in every city in the world Timothy Schmalz, (Artist), James Amato (Secretary, Catholic Human as a reminder to all who pass by that Christ is ever-present in Services) David Stier (Director, SJH), and Karen Beyer (donor) those who are poor and suffering. Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. presided over the blessing and dedication ceremony. Artist Timothy Schmalz, benefactor Karen Beyer, and members of the Beyer family, as well as members from the Saint John’s Hospice community, were all present to share in the event. The Archbishop joined Schmalz and the Beyer family remained at SJH after the ceremony to serve lunch to over 300 homeless men.

  • Historic Context Statement for Lower Northeast Planning District 2012
    ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH AND CULTURAL HISTORY HISTORIC PRESERVATION CONSULTING HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT FOR LOWER NORTHEAST PLANNING DISTRICT 2012 HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT FOR LOWER NORTHEAST PLANNING DISTRICT EMILY T. COOPERMAN, PH.D. Geographical Summary The Lower Northeast Planning District (figure 1) lies inland (northwest) of the Delaware River waterfront at the point where the northeast and northwest sections of the city branch off from north Philadelphia. The Lower Northeast Planning District is characterized by relatively flat topography that rises gradually from the southeast to the northwest, moving away from the river. The Planning District is bounded on the southwest by the Frankford and Tacony creeks, and abuts Montgomery County on the northwest just south of the Tacony Creek as it turns to the northeast. The Tacony Creek becomes the Frankford Creek at the point where it historically met the Wingohocking Creek, which flowed east from Germantown and is now culverted, near the intersection of Tabor Road and Garland Street. Historically, the Little Tacony Creek flowed in several branches through the heart of the Planning District, meeting the Frankford Creek below where Erie Avenue is now located. Figure 1.

  • Ben Kaplow July 27, 2018 Universalism & Particularism In
    Ben Kaplow July 27, 2018 Universalism & Particularism in Quaker Philanthropy: 1770-1830 Introduction This paper aims to examine the relationship of the Friends’ Asylum to the greater project of Quaker philanthropy in Philadelphia during the early and mid-19th century. In this period, Quaker philanthropy in the Philadelphia area was born out a dense network of individuals. Even accounting for the population of Philadelphia—70,000 in 18301—the Quaker philanthropic network was quite small, composed of only about 100 individuals.2 Quakers were a powerful group, yet the number of individuals who had both the combination of drive and resources to engage in philanthropic work was relatively small. Indeed, it was often the same individuals who engaged in the varied projects of education, health, abolitionism, and penal reform, the main pillars of Quaker philanthropic work. As Kashatus discusses,3 different philanthropic efforts were driven by various configuration of individuals along denominational (evangelicals, quietists, etc.) and class lines, yet members overlapped significantly and coordinated their efforts as parts of a larger philanthropic project. The Friends’ Asylum for the Relief of Persons Deprived of the Use of Their Reason (FA)4, opened in 1817, was one of the most ambitious and influential of the Quaker 1 Campell Gibson, “Population of the 100 Largest Cities and Other Urban Places In The United States: 1790 to 1990,” U.S. Census Bureau, accessed July 24, 2018, https://www.census.gov/population/www/documentation/twps0027/twps0027.html. 2 William C.

  • Pope Francis to See ‘
    Pope Francis to see ‘Homeless Jesus’ during U.S. visit By Chaz Muth Catholic News Service WASHINGTON – When Pope Francis approaches the Catholic Charities building in downtown Washington during his upcoming U.S. visit this month, he will encounter a “homeless person” covered in a blanket laying on a park bench. The scene actually is a sculpture. And it’s not a work of art depicting any homeless person; it’s the bronze image of “Homeless Jesus.” “I hope Pope Francis blesses our ‘Homeless Jesus’ when he’s here,” said Roland Woody, a Washington resident who was homeless until earlier this year. “It’s kind of a symbol of hope for the homeless in D.C. If the pope blesses it, it will be even more special.” If the pope does bless the 7-foot-long statue, it will be the second one of its kind that he’ll have done that for. Pope Francis blessed a smaller version of the “Homeless Jesus” sculpture during a late November, 2013, general audience at the Vatican in front of thousands of pilgrims. Afterward, the pope told the sculptor, Timothy Schmalz of Toronto, that he thought it was a “beautiful piece of art” and a wonderful representation of Jesus. Schmalz also created the “Homeless Jesus” statue in Washington, as well as similar sculptures in place in Toronto and several U.S. cities that include Denver, Phoenix and Chicago. The arrival of “Homeless Jesus” in Washington came last winter after Washington Cardinal Donald W. Wuerl witnessed the pope’s 2013 blessing of the smaller such statue, said Monsignor John Enzler, president and CEO of Catholic Charities of the Washington Archdiocese.
