  • Parish Apostolate: New Opportunities in the Local Church
    IV. PARISH APOSTOLATE: NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN THE LOCAL CHURCH by John E. Rybolt, C.M. Beginning with the original contract establishing the Community, 17 April 1625, Vincentians have worked in parishes. At fIrst they merely assisted diocesan pastors, but with the foundation at Toul in 1635, the fIrst outside of Paris, they assumed local pastorates. Saint Vincent himself had been the pastor of Clichy-Ia-Garenne near Paris (1612-1625), and briefly (1617) of Buenans and Chatillon­ les-Dombes in the diocese of Lyons. Later, as superior general, he accepted eight parish foundations for his community. He did so with some misgiving, however, fearing the abandonment of the country poor. A letter of 1653 presents at least part of his outlook: ., .parishes are not our affair. We have very few, as you know, and those that we have have been given to us against our will, or by our founders or by their lordships the bishops, whom we cannot refuse in order not to be on bad terms with them, and perhaps the one in Brial is the last that we will ever accept, because the further along we go, the more we fmd ourselves embarrassed by such matters. l In the same spirit, the early assemblies of the Community insisted that parishes formed an exception to its usual works. The assembly of 1724 states what other Vincentian documents often said: Parishes should not ordinarily be accepted, but they may be accepted on the rare occasions when the superior general .. , [and] his consul­ tors judge it expedient in the Lord.2 229 Beginnings to 1830 The founding document of the Community's mission in the United States signed by Bishop Louis Dubourg, Fathers Domenico Sicardi and Felix De Andreis, spells out their attitude toward parishes in the new world, an attitude differing in some respects from that of the 1724 assembly.

  • Joy of the Gospel: Path for Renewal in Uncertain Times
    2020 RCRI Virtual Conference Joy of the Gospel: Path for Renewal in Uncertain Times 12:00 noon – 4:00 PM (ET) Friday, October 23. 2020 Friday, October 30, 2020 Friday, November 6, 2020 2 2020 RCRI Virtual Conference WELCOME TO THE 2020 VIRTUAL CONFERENCE!! On behalf of the Board of Directors and Staff of the Resource Center for Religious Institutes, I welcome you to the 2020 virtual Conference. Though different from our in-person conferences, we look forward to an enriching conference experience as RCRI begins a new decade of service. We have developed a program of 18 workshop/webinars for the virtual experience with topics that we hope will assist you in addressing the financial and legal issues facing your institutes, especially during these uncertain times. This year’s conference theme is Joy of the Gospel: A Path for Renewal in Uncertain Times reflecting the joy and newness of the Gospel. Pope Francis urges us in New Wine in New Wineskins “to not have fear of making changes according to the law of the Gospel…leave aside fleeting structures – they are not necessary...and get new wineskins, those of the Gospel.” He goes on to say that “one can fully live the Gospel only in a joyous heart and in a renewed heart” (page 31). Fifty-five years ago this October, the Decree on the Renewal of Religious Life, Perfectae caritatis was approved by the Second Vatican Council. The document calls religious and the entire Church to adaptation and renewal of religious life based on a return to the spirit of the founders in the light of the signs of the times.
