Scroll down to Documents. Dear Confirmation Candidate, Welcome to the completion of the Rite of Christian Initiation—your Confirmation! We are very excited that you have chosen to prepare to receive this sacrament! We pray this time of preparation will be a time of spiritual growth as well as a lot of fun. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, “Preparation for confirmation should aim at leading the Christian toward a more intimate union with Christ and a more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit…To this end, catechesis [preparation] for Confirmation should strive to awaken a sense of belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ, the universal Church as well as the parish community.” (CCC 1309) Our goal is to be true to this statement of preparation for Confirmation, as our meetings will not cover everything there is to know about the Catholic Church. Instead it is our goal to build upon what you have been learning from your parents, through involvement with religious education throughout your life, and through the high school ministry here at St. Michael. It is our hope that at the end of the ROC Program you will know more about your faith, feel a sense of belonging in the Church, and be closer to Christ. Receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation will complete your Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation) but is far from the end of your spiritual growth. We hope you will not approach this time as the “last thing” you need to do in your faith, but another step as you continue to grow and go deeper into the beauty of the Catholic Church and the love of Christ. God bless you during this time of preparation!

As a result, the following attendance policy has been adopted: RCIA Requirements o Class attendance is required. o Because Easter is so early in 2016, absences must be limited to one(1). If your teen does not meet this requirement their Confirmation may be delayed. o Three(3) tardies = one absence. o If your teen absolutely has to miss a class, the teen must contact the office and coordinate with the teacher. MASS ATTENDANCE o Mass attendance is a non-negotiable requirement. Illness is a legitimate excuse. o If you do not attend St. Michael’s Mass you will need to provide a bulletin from the church that you attended with the current Sunday date on the calendar. You will turn in the bulletin to your teacher the following Monday. RETREAT ATTENDANCE o The hope is that all candidates can attend the St. Michael Confirmation Retreat. If it is not possible to attend this retreat, the candidate may attend another Confirmation Retreat at another church – it will be the candidate and/or the parents’ responsibility to find another retreat. Our retreat is the preferred retreat for preparation for Confirmation. If you have a conflict with the ROC Retreat please let the coordinator know. EMERGENCY CANCELLATION OF CLASSES DUE TO WEATHER o Emergency text will be sent – ARE YOU REGISTERED FOR REMIND text service? If no, text to number 81010 and put @rciah in the message area. o In the event of seeing if classes are cancelled due to weather please go to the parish website: www.stmichaelgarland.org and/or the parish Face Book page. Thank you! 8 COMMUNITY SERVICE REQUIREMENT **All Hours Due (Hand in together) – February 29, 2016 The community service requirement must be fulfilled through participation in TWO SERVICE PROJECTS, plus Additional Hours to equal 20 hours total. These can be done at or outside of St. Michael’s. A true spirit of service is not just about accumulating a certain number of service hours or completing a certain number of projects, but instead is about the desire to help others.

  • Edition of Henri-Xavier Arquillière, L'augustinisme Politique: Essai
    1 Translation by Catherine J. Bright and Courtney M. Booker, of Henri-Xavier Arquillière, L’Augustinisme politique: Essai sur la formation des théories politiques du Moyen-Age, second ed. (Paris: Vrin, 1955), 19–50. PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION The study that I present in these pages is by no means a general statement of Saint Augustine’s political doctrine. That has been done many times.1 The goal of my research is more limited. All medievalists have been struck by the profound intermingling of the Church and the State, which forms one of the characteristic traits of medieval civilization. How did this intimate relationship operate? How was the old Roman idea of the State absorbed by the increasing influence of the Christian idea, to the point that it led to the theory of the two swords in the twelfth century? That is the question. I have named this progressive, irregular movement political Augustinism, for want of a better term.2 I endeavored to define its formation and to mark some of its stages with precision. If by doing so I was able to open some avenues of research, in which I have directed several of my students, then I will have fully achieved my goal. I sought to observe the lives of certain ideas—to catch, in a way, their distortion in the minds of those that were simpler than the protagonists who inspired them, and to establish how these ideas came to transform major institutions, such as the monarchy. 1 See in particular the recent work of Gustave Combès, La doctrine politique de saint Augustin, Paris, 1927 (482 p.).

    Maria Alexandra Monteiro, MA Independent Scholar/ MSc with thesis medieval and renaissance history, Porto, Portugal I received my BIntRel degree in International Relations at Lusíada University of Porto and a few years later I was accepted at the University of Porto. There, I was able to obtain my MSc with thesis in medieval and renaissance studies (MHMR). My thesis was performed on the biography of Antão Martins de Chaves, bishop of Porto in the late XV century. Under the tutelage of PhD Maria Cristina Almeida e Cunha Alegre, I attended lessons on medieval paleography. My core personal interest is to study biographies from ecclesiastics of note and understand how they influenced the society of their time. Phone Number: +351 225094845 Email: [email protected] Page 2 Pantaleon or Panteleimon – A most noble physician As information about the life of Saint Pantaleon is entangled with tradition, it difficult to distinguish myth from facts. Nevertheless, according to several sources, Pantaleon was born c.AD 275, son of the rich pagan Eustorgius of Nicomedia. His name means “a lion in everything”. Later he would be renamed Pantaleímon (from the Greek) by Saint Hermolaus, meaning “all-compassionate” 1. His mother, Saint Eubula, wished him to be instructed in Christianity, but after her death he was sent by his father to study medicine under the famous physician Euphrosinus, probably in Alexandria2, where students were supposed to follow Hippocratic and Galenic theories. The young man proved to be so proficient at his craft that he came to the attention of the Roman Emperor Galerius (AD 284 – 305)3, who appointed him as royal physician as soon as he finished his studies.

Some of the ac- counts of his travels may have been interpolated into his vita to validate early sites of his cult. He is best known for the account of his using his military sword to cut his cloak in two, to give half to a beggar clad only in rags in the depth of winter.

  • Incidental Hagiographic References in the Canterbury Tales
    INCIDENTAL HAGIOGRAPHIC REFERENCES IN THE CANTERBURY TALES by DAVID KEVIN BELL (Under the Direction of Katharina Margit Wilson) ABSTRACT When fully examined, Chaucer’s numerous references to incidental saints in The Canterbury Tales serve to enrich the meaning of the rhetorical context in which they occur. Although, at first glance, these references may appear arbitrary to today’s reader or perhaps even irrelevant to the Tales, they actually hold great significance and often enhance one’s understanding. Chaucer’s audience most likely understood the function of these hagiographic references based on a thorough familiarity with the legends of the saints. Saints and their legends were ubiquitous in medieval culture, ranging from their prominence in Mass readings and visual depictions in stained glass windows to pilgrimages to their shrines and relics. Their mere mention in the Tales would have triggered a whole host of concrete associations, specific character traits, and iconographic recollections related to their colorful legends and pictorial representations. With the advent of collections of saints’ lives like Jacobus de Voragine’s Legenda Aurea and The South English Legendary in the late thirteenth century, hagiography reached an unprecedented level of popularity by the fourteenth century. Chaucer’s incidental references to such saints as Frideswide, Neot, and Cuthbert, point to their legends, which, when explored, serve the purpose of enhancing and subverting a tale’s meaning, typically through such elements as ironic contrast, wordplay, comic relief, and double entendre. The Legenda Aurea and other sources, including the South English Legendary, are valuable resources in one’s effort to recover a portion of the meaning Chaucer most certainly encoded into The Canterbury Tales via incidental hagiographic references.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT Kerri VanderHoff Grand Rapids Art Museum 616-831-2914 [email protected] GRAND RAPIDS ART MUSEUM REPATRIATES SAINT EUSTACE PANELS STOLEN FROM A CHURCH IN ABRUZZO, ITALY IN 1902 The Two Late 14thCentury Panel Paintings will be on Public View at the Art Museum during April before Return to the National Museum of Abruzzo GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., April 4, 2008 – The Grand Rapids Art Museum announced today that the Museum is returning two Italian panel paintings stolen from the Church of Saint Eustace in Campo di Giove, Abruzzo, Italy in 1902. The museum acquired the panels in 1947 without knowledge they had been stolen. The two panels formed part of a sixteen-panel altarpiece that enclosed an effigy of the saint. They were painted by the Abruzzese Master of Castelvecchio Subequo, who was active in the region in the late 14th century. The panels composed a visual sixteen-part narrative of the life of Saint Eustace, a Roman general named Placidus, who converted to Christianity when he saw the apparition of Christ in the horns of a stag while he was hunting. Placidus died a Christian martyr by order of the Emperor Hadrian (76–138 AD). Campo di Giove declared St. Eustace their patron saint because popular legend accounted that his apparition of the miraculous stag occurred in the mountains of Abruzzo and neighboring region of Lazio. Pope Clement III dedicated the church at Campo di Giove to Saint Eustace on April 7, 1188. The museum’s panels, painted in tempera and each measuring 25 x 13 ¾ inches, depict the Conversion of Saint Eustace and the Flight of Saint Eustace from a Plague Ridden City.
