Students Celebrate Legacy of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton The CatholicWitness The Newspaper of the Diocese of Harrisburg September 18, 2015 Vol. 49 No. 17 Students Celebrate Legacy of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton ome 200 years ago, Elizabeth Ann Seton – a mother, widow, educator and Sconvert to the Catholic Church – founded the Sisters of Christian Char- ity of St. Joseph’s, the first new community for religious women established in the United States, as well as St. Joseph Academy and Free School, the first free Catholic school for girls staffed by Sisters in the country. Forty years ago, Blessed Paul VI canonized St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first saint in the history of the Church who was born in the United States. On the 40th anniversary of her canonization, Bishop Ronald Gainer celebrated a Mass at the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Emmitsburg, Md., for Catholic school students and members of the faithful who wished to mark the historic occasion on Sept. 14. Diocesan school students present for the anniver- sary Mass included those from Delone Catholic High School and Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary School in McSherrystown, St. John the Baptist School in New Freedom, St. Rose of Lima School and St. Joseph School in York, and St. Joseph School in Mechanicsburg. The National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, located off of Route 15 and just a stone’s throw from Mount St. Mary’s Seminary and University in Emittsburg, offers a wellspring of hands-on activities to immerse visitors into the life of this Roman Manfredi, a American saint. A visitors’ center, various activities and tours of the houses where third-grade student the religious congregation was first established bring the saint to life throughout at St. John the the year.

  • Faggioli Offers a Highly Sophisticated Analysis of the New Ecclesial Movements While Telling the Story of the Catholic Church Over the Past One and a Half Centuries
    “Faggioli offers a highly sophisticated analysis of the new ecclesial movements while telling the story of the Catholic Church over the past one and a half centuries. His international perspective informs his use of methods that are historical, sociological, and theological. This book stands in a category of its own among works on this subject.” — Dennis M. Doyle Professor of Religious Studies University of Dayton “Massimo Faggioli has become one of the most respected theological interpreters of Vatican II and the battle over its meaning. This new book explores a wider set of issues with a related agenda. How are we to assess the variety of new Catholic movements and their relationship to the legacy of Vatican II? His analysis and findings will undoubtedly shape the future debate.” — Bradford Hinze Fordham University “Massimo Faggioli brings his fresh, creative voice to the much neglected subject of ‘new ecclesial movements.’ ‘Sorting out’ movements ‘intimately intertwined’ with ‘the modern papacy and the contemporary church’ requires skills as a theologian and historian, which Faggioli has in abundance. Movements have already transformed Catholicism in Europe and Latin America, and in the future they will either complement or substitute traditional parishes, support or undermine Catholic institutions. Those who wish to understand and share responsibility for the future of Catholicism, in the United States and elsewhere, would do well to consider Faggioli’s nuanced assessment of these mostly Euro-centered movements.” — David J. O’Brien College of the Holy Cross (Emeritus) Sorting Out Catholicism A Brief History of the New Ecclesial Movements Massimo Faggioli Translated by Demetrio S.

  • La Forma Ecclesiae Comme Langage
    La forma ecclesiae comme langage Mémoire Léandre Syrieix Maîtrise en théologie Maître ès arts (M. A.) Québec, Canada © Léandre Syrieix, 2017 La forma ecclesiae comme langage Mémoire Léandre Syrieix Sous la direction de : Gilles Routhier, directeur de recherche RÉSUMÉ Le détachement des catholiques de l’Église telle qu’elle se présente aujourd’hui dans ses pratiques et dans ses formes institutionnelles est dû au fait que sa crédibilité comme témoin du Christ à travers ce qu’elle « est », ses paroles et ses gestes, est mise à l’épreuve. Il y a de ce fait une crise de la forma ecclesiae qui introduit la question relative à quelle est la forme de l’Église qui est plus appropriée pour permettre d’annoncer de manière crédible l’Évangile dans le monde contemporain. Ce mémoire de Maîtrise traite ainsi de la forma ecclesiae comme langage en trois chapitres. Le premier présente le concept de forma ecclesiae dans la littérature et en dégage quelques aspects mis en avant par le concile Vatican II. Le second traite de la vie de l’Église comme signe à travers le développement de la conception de l’Église comme « sacrement de Salut » soulignant que toute sa vie est témoignage. Le troisième présente la vocation de l’Église, qui est d’annoncer l’Évangile, à partir de l’Exhortation apostolique Evangelii nuntiandi du pape Paul VI, il présente aussi la reformatio de l’Église qu’implique l’annonce de l’Évangile à partir de l’Exhortation apostolique Evangelii Gaudium du pape François. iii ABSTRACT Catholics have turned back on the contemporary Church, its practices and institutional structures because they question its credibility as a witness for Christ in what it “is”, it says and does.
