  • Archbishop John J. Williams
    Record Group I.06.01 John Joseph Williams Papers, 1852-1907 Introduction & Index Archives, Archdiocese of Boston Introduction Biographical Sketch Scope and Content Content List (A-Z) Subject Index Introduction The John Joseph Williams papers held by the Archives of the Archdiocese of Boston span the years 1852-1907. The collection consists of original letters and documents from the year that Williams was assigned to what was to become St. Joseph’s parish in the West End of Boston until his death 55 years later. The papers number approximately 815 items and are contained in 282 folders arranged alphabetically by correspondent in five manuscript boxes. It is probable that the Williams papers were first put into some kind of order in the Archives in the 1930s when Fathers Robert h. Lord, John E. Sexton, and Edward T. Harrington were researching and writing their History of the Archdiocese of Boston, 1604-1943. At this time the original manuscripts held by the Archdiocese were placed individually in folders and arranged chronologically in file cabinets. One cabinet contained original material and another held typescripts, photostats, and other copies of documents held by other Archives that were gathered as part of the research effort. The outside of each folder noted the author and the recipient of the letter. In addition, several letters were sound in another section of the Archives. It is apparent that these letters were placed in the Archives after Lord, Sexton, and Harrington had completed their initial arrangement of manuscripts relating to the history of the Archdiocese of Boston. In preparing this collection of the original Williams material, a calendar was produced.

He studied and received a master's degree in chemistry at the University of Buenos Aires, but later decided to become a Jesuit priest and studied at the Jesuit seminary of Villa Devoto. He studied liberal arts in Santiago, Chile, and in 1960 earned a degree in philosophy from the Catholic University of Buenos Aires. Between 1964 and 1965 he was a teacher of literature and psychology at Inmaculada High School in the province of Santa Fe, and in 1966 he taught the same courses at the prestigious Colegio del Salvador in Buenos Aires. In 1967, he returned to his theological studies and was ordained a priest on December 13, 1969. After his perpetual profession as a Jesuit in 1973, he became master of novices at the Seminary of Villa Barilari in San Miguel. Later that same year, he was elected superior of the Jesuit province of Argentina and Uruguay. In 1980, he returned to San Miguel as a teacher at the Jesuit school, a job rarely taken by a former provincial superior.

  • History New York State Catholic Conference
    A HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK STATE CATHOLIC CONFERENCE 1916 – 1968 Spring 2007 A HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK STATE CATHOLIC CONFERENCE 1916 – 1968 P R E F A C E In recent years, more attention has been given to a well-kept secret within the Catholic Church and society more generally – the important role played by State Catholic Conferences of Bishops in influencing public policy in this country. While a common perception among those aware of the existence of State Catholic Conferences is that the major focus of the activity of the Catholic Conferences has been on abortion and other life issues, this perception distorts the picture of actual State Catholic Conference activities. While there has been appropriate attention to life issues, State Catholic Conferences have also focused on a variety of issues relating to an important principle of Catholic Social Teaching – the preferential option for the poor. State Catholic Conferences have had significant input on public policy debates on such issues as welfare-to-work programs, access to health care, immigration legislation, criminal justice reform and the like. As the first State Catholic Conference organized in the United States, the New York State Catholic Conference has played a pivotal role, not only in its considerable influence in the evolution of public policy in New York State, but also in serving as a model for the creation of other State Catholic Conferences in the country. This volume is the first in a series of documents chronicling the history of the New York State Catholic Conference. This volume describes the public policy advocacy activities of the Catholic Church in the state from its first organized activities in 1916 until the state Bishops formally created a State Catholic Conference in 1968.
