  • The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic
    The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic Dear Readers, The publication on the Ro- man Catholic Church which you are holding in your hands may strike you as history that belongs in a museum. How- ever, if you leaf through it and look around our beauti- ful country, you may discover that it belongs to the present as well. Many changes have taken place. The history of the Church in this country is also the history of this nation. And the history of the nation, of the country’s inhabitants, always has been and still is the history of the Church. The Church’s mission is to serve mankind, and we want to fulfil Jesus’s call: “I did not come to be served but to serve.” The beautiful and unique pastoral constitution of Vatican Coun- cil II, the document “Joy and Hope” begins with the words: “The joys and the hopes, the grief and the anxieties of the men of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the grief and anxieties of the followers of Christ.” This is the task that hundreds of thousands of men and women in this country strive to carry out. According to expert statistical estimates, approximately three million Roman Catholics live in our country along with almost twenty thousand of our Eastern broth- ers and sisters in the Greek Catholic Church, with whom we are in full communion. There are an additional million Christians who belong to a variety of other Churches. Ecumenical cooperation, which was strengthened by decades of persecution and bullying of the Church, is flourishing remarkably in this country.

  • Winnipeg Regional Mennonite-Catholic Dialogue
    Minutes Winnipeg Mennonite-Catholic Dialogue, Meeting No. 32 Meeting held on 19 January 2011 at the Fort Garry Mennonite Church Present: Paul Doerksen, Michelle Gallant, Helmut Harder, Richard Lebrun, John Long, Luis Melo, Ron Penner, Donna Peters-Small, Lynda Trenholm, and Nancy Wood. 1. Introduction – Helmut began by welcoming new participants to the dialogue and reporting that Adolf Ens, Henry Loewen, Janet Kozak, and Joe Langan have dropped out of the group since our last meeting, and noted that Dora Dueck, an ongoing member was away visiting family. He then gave a brief explanation of the history of the group. Round of Introductions: Helmut noted that he and Luis had “invented” the group ten years ago. He had been involved in the international Catholic-Mennonite dialogue, through which he had gotten to know James Puglisi, S.A. (who was involved with Luis’ doctoral thesis in Rome). Thinking that he should be doing something about Mennonite Catholic dialogue in Winnipeg, he contacted Luis. Helmut said that he was from southern Ontario, that he had taught at the Canadian Mennonite Bible College (now Canadian Mennonite University), served as general secretary of Mennonite Church Canada, and that his wife is a musician. They had one daughter who passed away, and two married sons. Richard is a retired prof (history, University of Manitoba, St. Paul’s College), married more than 56 years, with six children, nine grandchildren (one deceased), and nine great- grandchildren. He has also been a member of this group since the beginning, and is active in St. Ignatius Parish. Lynda is a pastoral associate at St.

  • Koch Foundation 2011 Annual Report
    Mission Statement Carl Koch’s belief that he was “just a steward of the fi nances given by God to use on His behalf” inspired the commitment he and his wife, Paula, made to founding the Koch Foundation in 1979. The Foundation’s goals are to strengthen and to propagate the Roman Catholic faith by providing grant support for a wide variety of evangelization eff orts. In considering applications, major emphasis is placed on sound but fi nancially needy evangelical programs. The Koch Foundation is international in scope with no geographical preference. Carl and Paula Koch 2 Letter From The Executive Director I have been blessed in my life to have had several family members who chose to dedicate their lives in service to God, so there has never been a time when I did not visit my relatives and see a cousin dressed all in black with a worn yet beloved Rosary tucked carefully into her simple belt. I can remember as a young child Sister teaching me to say the Rosary and telling me that whenever I attended Mass I was to pray the Rosary. That memory has stayed with me into adulthood and, when I became a mother, the Rosary took on a special and personal meaning. I found I was praying the Rosary more often and usually for something concerning my son and family. I began to realize that I needed the solace I could only fi nd by praying the Rosary. Like many parents, in addition to my work at the Foundation I am also my son’s chauff eur, carting him to and from various sports events.

E-mail: vanejan@kss.zcu.cz Received: January 10, 2013 Accepted: February 25, 2013 Available online: February 22, 2013 doi:10.11114/ijsss.v1i1.74 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11114/ijsss.v1i1.74 This study is supported by the “Institutional support for long-term development of organization – Department of Sociology – UWB” grant. Abstract The objective of this study is to focus on how two non-institutionalised lay religious communities in the Czech Republic, selected for this research, apply an adaptation strategy called the care for the ill strategy. The aim is to demonstrate the way these communities view the phenomenon of health/illness and how it is reflected in their relationship to the Catholic Church. This paper is part of a larger ethnographic study that analyses activities carried out by non-institutionalised religious communities active in the Catholic environment. Keywords: Catholic Church in the Czech Republic, non-institutionalised communities, care for the ill strategy 1. Introduction Jose Casanova, a scholar working in the field of sociology of religion, has pointed out that in late modern societies religion has vacated the private sphere to which it had been confined earlier and is now entering the undifferentiated sphere of civil society, where it is involved in the fight over the legitimacy of society, including the conflicts over the redrawing of the social boundaries that had thus far been accepted as valid.
