    NNATIONALATIONAL RRIGHTIGHT TOTO WWORKORK CCOMMITTEEOMMITTEE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION PERSONNEL ALERT John J. Sullivan Big Labor Lawyer Nominated Position: Federal Election Commissioner Executive Summary The phrase of the week has been “life experience” regarding President Obama’s Supreme Court nomination. So, today’s National Right To Work Committee alert looks at the real “life experi- ence” of Federal Election Board nominee John Sullivan. From his time as a Steelworkers Union President (1978) through today, Sullivan’s working life experience has been focused on defending the actions of labor union bosses and promoting their forced-dues power. Even during his brief time as a Teamsters Election Officer Counsel, the public record available indicates that his actions supported power grabs by corrupt, incumbent union bosses. In one case, he represented the Election Officer in his demand to disclose personal information about those who supported the incumbent Teamster boss’ opponents. Sullivan’s legal positions must have impressed some Teamster union bosses because soon-to-be barred-for-life Teamster Boss Ron Carey hired Sullivan to be the Teamster Associate General Counsel. While Sullivan was Teamster Counsel, the Teamsters and multiple organizations, in- cluding the Clinton White House and the Democrat National Committee, devised and pursued a multi-million dollar election campaign finance money laundering scheme. This scheme directly involved familiar names like Terry McAuliffe and Harold Ickes. Despite the legal efforts of Sullivan and other Teamster lawyers, the federal government took the extreme and rare step of barring Sullivan’s boss, Ron Carey, for life from the Teamsters un- ion.

  • Keeping Our Focus on Francis an SFO REVIEW - Fr
    Keeping our focus on Francis AN SFO REVIEW - Fr. John Sullivan, ofm ALL CREATION in Christ B1 have on hand: SFO Rule; Catechism of Cath.Church St. Paul wrote to the Colossians (1:15-18) “He [Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creatures. In him everything in heaven and on earth was created, things visible and invisible. All were created through him; all were created for him. He is before all else that is. In him everything continues in being. It is he who is head of the body, the church!.. he who is the beginning, the first-born of the dead, so that primacy may be his in everything. Friar Celano-I in (-p.250-1 ) chapter 29 describes the love that he [Francis] had toward all creatures for the sake of the creator and a description of both aspects of his person. “To enumerate and recount all the things our glorious father Francis did and taught while living in the flesh would be a lengthy or an even impossible task. Who could ever express the deep affection he bore for all things that belong to God. Or who would be able to tell of the sweet tenderness he enjoyed while contemplating in creatures the wisdom, power, and goodness of the Creator? From this reflection he often overflowed with amazing, unspeakable joy as he looked at the sun, gazed at the moon, or observed the stars in the sky. What simple piety! What pious simplicity!” And there’s more.... Friar Thomas of Celano reflects (Cel-II, chap.124,in Omnibus,p.494): “In every work of the artist he [Francis] praised the Artist; whatever he found in the things made he referred to the Maker.

Laura Diamond Dissertation in partial fulfilment of: M.A. in Catholic School Leadership: Principles and Practice St Mary’s University 2015 1 RegNum: 921383 Abstract This dissertation has been written in the context of Catholic school leadership and examines the extent to which senior leaders in Catholic primary schools are trained, prepared and willing to take on the role of Head Teacher. In order to explore the preparation of potential Head Teachers, a number of key areas have been examined including: the role of the Head Teacher; the preparation essential to the role as well as potential challenges in recruiting Head Teachers to Catholic primary schools. A small scale research project was then designed to evaluate the extent to which these key areas contributed to the preparation of potential Head Teachers in a sample of four Catholic primary schools.

  • • Are You Longing for a Deeper Faith in God?
    Established in 1851 • Jesuit Since 1866 September 15, 2019 | Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time Are You Longing for a Deeper Faith in God? ost of us have a “bucket list” of things we want to accomplish, or as my daughters would express it, #goals. One spiritual goal for me, as for many others, was to attend a retreat in order to deepen my relationship with God through Christ and learn new ways to pray. I had noted that the world around us was changing in profound ways: MI was searching for a stronger sense of discernment and guidance for a new response to His divine plan for me. Many retreats that were offered didn’t fit within my schedule, and to my disappointment, my goal moved out one year after another. I started praying for God to let me know when I would be ready. Eventually, the Meeting Christ in Prayer bulletin announcement jumped off the page at me and I signed up immediately. God was calling me. Meeting Christ in Prayer, which has had over 500 retreatants since its start in our parish, is a transformative eight-week prayer experience that even the busiest of us can manage, with simple daily prayer guidelines, and weekly meetings lasting just over an hour. Modeled after the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius Loyola, it is fulfilling if you already have a full prayer life, but also if you seek new or more developed prayer habits. Praying with others is not something we necessarily know how to do. But experience is not required.
