  • St. Josaphat Basilica, Milwaukee, WI, P. 2-4. CAP at Orchard Lake
    St. Josaphat Basilica, Milwaukee, WI, p. 2-4. CAP at Orchard Lake. St. Josaphat Basilica, officially designated a landmark of the city of Milwaukee, is an imposing, richly ornamented Neo-Renaissance edifice. Erected between the years of 1896 and 1901, it reflects the genius of its architect-contractor, Erhard Brielmaier. The original plans for the parish church called for a brick structure trimmed with terra cotta. While these plans were in progress, the pastor of St. Josaphat Parish, the Reverend William Grutza, learned that the old Federal Building in Chicago was to be razed and that salvaged ma- terials were up for sale. Aware of the considerable savings to be realized were such salvaged materials to be used in the construction of the new church, Father Grutza arranged for their purchase for the sum of $20,000.00. This included stone for the exterior walls, polished granite columns for the front portico, massive doors, hardware, bronze railings and light fixtures, which were transported on 500 flat cars from Chicago to Milwaukee. Inspected, measured, sorted and numbered, all these materials eventually found their place in the new fabric. The challenge thrust upon the architect, however, was immense. Mr. Brielmaier was forced to scrap his plans for the original edifice and design a church to be built entirely from the available salvaged materials. The degree of his success is measured even to this day by the Basilica as it stands, a monument to his genius. The large dome of the Basilica, a facsimile of Rome's St. Peter Basilica, was constructed with a steel framework, an architectural first in our country.

    N. 0611 Lunedì 09.12.2002 UDIENZA ALLA COMUNITÀ DEL PONTIFICIO COLLEGIO BEDA DI ROMA UDIENZA ALLA COMUNITÀ DEL PONTIFICIO COLLEGIO BEDA DI ROMA A fine mattinata, nella Sala Clementina del Palazzo Apostolico Vaticano, il Papa ha ricevuto in udienza i membri della Comunità del Pontificio Collegio Beda di Roma ed ha loro rivolto le parole di saluto che riportiamo di seguito: ● SALUTO DEL SANTO PADRE Dear Friends in Christ, I am happy to greet you and to offer my warm good wishes on the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Pontifical Beda College. I join you in giving praise to God for the many graces that have come to the Church through the work of the College in the years since its foundation. It was a time of great turbulence when Blessed Pope Pius IX established what became the Collegio Pio. Society was in turmoil, and the Church was not spared the troubles of the age. In England, a number of Anglicans had decided to seek Ordination in the Catholic Church; and this prompted the Pope to establish the College. At the end of the nineteenth century, again in unsettled times, the College had a surge of new life and in eighteen- ninety-seven became the Pontifical Beda College, in honour of the great English saint and scholar whom Pope Leo XIII was about to proclaim a Doctor of the Church at that time. Another important step forward came in nineteen-sixty, when the College moved to its present site in the shadow of Saint Paul’s Basilica.

    Private School Aid Issue Now Up to Congressmen Washington. — Two Catholics from Massa­ chusetts have taken opposite stands on loans Supplement to the Denver Catholic Register to private schools that -will greatly determine the final form of any federal aid to education. National National The one was President Kennedy, who in his sixth presidential news conference shifted Section Section discussion on the constitutionality of loans for private and parochial schools from the White THE House to the Congress. The other, House Majority Leader John W. McCormack, declared in a radio-television interview that “there is cer­ tainly no constitutional question involved in the federal gov­ ernment making long-term foans at reasonable rates of in­ terest” for the building or repair of private schools.

  • The Anawim of Yahweh: Pope Francis
    The Anawim of Yahweh: Pope Francis’ Perspective of Social Responsibility in Action San Beda College Isamael Ireneo Maningas, Ed.D Introduction The Anawim of Yahweh: Pope Francis Francis Pope Yahweh: of Anawim The anawim he Hebrew word means those who are bowedanawim down. They are considered the vulnerable, the marginalized, and the socio-economically oppressed. In the Old Testament the are the‘anawim,’ “poor ones” who remained faithful to God in times of difficulty. Pope Benedict XVI teaches that “the spiritualityT of the biblical does not only recognize .... themselves as ‘poor’ in the detachment from all idolatry of riches and power, but also in the profound humility of a heart emptied of the temptation1 to prideanawim and open to the bursting in of the divine saving grace.” The nature of anawim is seeking for deliverance. Essential in the seeking for deliverance is trust in the Lord and do good. And a promise is given to that they will inherit the earth (Psalms 37:3,9,11). Thus, the “poor ones” showed their trust in God by being faithful to the times of prayer and sacrifice. This trust in God by the anawim is rooted from the basic thought of the Torah that Yahweh is the protector and defender of the poor (Exodus 22:25). It is for this reason that God is serious and sincere in forbidding the exploitation of the poor. God even commanded to treat the poor with open hands (Deuteronomy 15:7-11). It is precisely in this light that the needs and rights of the poor are central to the rules stipulated in this Pentateuch (the five books of Moses).
