He told them that their presence was a tangible sign of cooperation for the common good of humanity, and reminded them of the mutual “responsibility that we all bear to this our world, to all of creation, which we should love and protect. And we can do much for the good of the poorest, of the weak and suffering, to promote justice and reconciliation, to build peace.” (VIS, March 20, 2013). Pope Francis has repeatedly expressed his deep concern for the poor in these early days of his pontificate, and is clearly committed to inspiring us all as Catholics to do whatever we can to assist all people to experience living conditions worthy of the dignity of the human person. For over 40 years, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development has demonstrated the Church’s solidarity with the poor in our country, funding thousands of local community organizations that work to alleviate poverty and promote integral human development. These groups, composed primarily of low-income people, actively engage the poor and disadvantaged to participate in organized efforts that address the root causes of poverty. Funded projects are often creative collaborations of individuals of all faiths which represent that “tangible sign of cooperation for the common good of humanity” that our Holy Father so urgently exhorts us to be engaged in. Each year the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops sponsors a nationwide collection in support of the Catholic Church’s longstanding efforts to reduce poverty by addressing its root causes. In the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, the annual collection will take place on the weekend of July 6 and 7, 2013. Funds collected support anti-poverty projects across the country and in the communities and neighborhoods of our own region that enable our less fortunate brothers and sisters to become agents of their own progress and human development. (For more information on the good work that CCHD funds, visit the USCCB-sponsored website at: www.povertyusa.org) Over 40 million Americans live in poverty today, and in challenging economic times such as these, the adverse impact on the poor is even more dramatic. Through your contribution to the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, you assist your neighbors near and far in breaking the cycle of poverty and achieving the dignity of self-reliance in their pursuit of a better future for themselves, their families, and their communities. On their behalf, I express my appreciation and ask God’s blessing upon you for your generous response to this appeal. Sincerely in Christ, +Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. Archbishop of Philadelphia Please share this letter with your parishioners on the weekend of June 29th and 30th. The CCHD collection is to be taken up the following weekend of July 6th and 7th and collection remittal should be made payable to ARCHDIOCESE OF PHILADELPHIA and sent to: Office of Accounting Services, 222 N. 17th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103. June 23, 2013 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, There are many places around the globe where the Church struggles to be a visible sign of charity, but thankfully, the Holy Father is the pilgrim of charity for Catholics everywhere. In poor dioceses where many are dependent on the Church for social and pastoral support; in regions where Catholics are persecuted for their faith; and in nations overloaded with refugees and victims of war and natural disasters, the works done by the Holy Father help the Church extend charity to those most in need. This special appeal gives us the opportunity to be pilgrims of charity around the world. Our gifts to this annual Collection help the Holy Father strengthen dioceses, religious orders, and struggling communities of faith when they need it most. This year the Peter’s Pence Collection will be taken at all Masses on the weekend of June 29 and June 30, 2013. Many who struggle to survive rely on pilgrims of charity to assist them through their difficulties. Please give generously to the Collection and know that in doing so, you become a pilgrim of charity around the globe. Gratefully and with best wishes in Jesus Christ, +Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. Archbishop of Philadelphia (Please communicate the contents of this letter to your parishioners in the most appropriate manner on the weekend of June 22 and June 23, 2013; the collection is taken up the following weekend of June 29 and June 30, 2013.

OFFICE FOR DIVINE WORSHIP OFFICE FOR LIFE, FAMILY AND LAITY ARCHDIOCESE OF PHILADELPHIA THE SECOND FORTNIGHT FOR FREEDOM June 21 to July 4, 2013 ALL CLERGY AND FAITHFUL OF THE ARCHDIOCESE ARE ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE IN SOME WAY Last year, in the statement, Our First, Most Cherished Liberty (April 2012), the USCCB’s Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty announced the first Fortnight for Freedom – a call to fourteen days of prayer, action, and study for religious freedom in the United States and abroad. Recognizing that we still face many challenges to religious liberty, in December 2012, the U.S. Bishops announced that they would be promoting another Fortnight for Freedom in 2013. This year, the Fortnight for Freedom has great importance due to the following: o First, the Supreme Court’s rulings on same‐sex “marriage,” which could have grave implications for religious freedom, will almost certainly issue right around the Fortnight. o Second, by the time of the Fortnight, the effective date of the HHS mandate—August 1, 2013—will be scarcely a month away, and the Administration’s decision on the shape of a final rule will likely be imminent. And unfortunately, as we now know after extensive study and analysis of the latest proposal, we are still far from receiving the relief we need through the regulatory process. o Third, the success of a second Fortnight is essential to perpetuating a new movement for religious freedom, highlighting the full range of ongoing religious freedom issues, here and abroad, and in so many other areas of law, such as immigration, adoption, and disaster relief. The Second Fortnight for Freedom begins the day before the Memorial of Saint John Fisher and Saint Thomas More, June 21, 2013, and concludes on Independence Day, July 4, 2013. THE SECOND FORTNIGHT FOR FREEDOM IN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF PHILADELPHIA Once again, the observance of The Second Fortnight for Freedom, June 21 through to July 4, 2013, will be parish-based in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. All pastors, parish priests and deacons, along with those associated with them in the preparation of the Sacred Liturgy during these fourteen days, are encouraged to make use of the following ways to observe The Second Fortnight for Freedom.

  • Allegations Against Cardinal Mccarrick Raise Difficult Questions
    Allegations against Cardinal McCarrick raise difficult questions A new allegation of child sexual abuse was leveled against Cardinal Theodore McCarrick last Thursday, one month after the June announcement that he had been suspended from priestly ministry following an investigation into a different charge of sexual abuse on the part of the cardinal. Along with emerging accounts from priests and former seminarians of sexual coercion and abuse by McCarrick, those allegations paint a picture of McCarrick’s sexual malfeasance that may be among the most grave, tragic, and, for many Catholics, infuriating, as any in recent Catholic history. From all corners of the Church, questions are being raised about those who might have known about McCarrick’s misconduct, about how the Church will now handle the allegations against McCarrick, and about what it means for the Church that a prominent, powerful, and reportedly predatory cleric was permitted to continue in ministry for decades without censure or intervention. Because McCarrick was a leading voice in the Church’s 2002 response to the sexual abuse crisis in the United States, and an architect of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Dallas Charter of the same year, the credibility of that response has also, for some, come into question. For parents and others who placed trust in the Church to secure a safe environment for children, those questions are especially important. At the USCCB’s 2002 Spring Assembly in Dallas, the bishops drafted their Charter for the Protection of Young People and the Essential Norms for Diocesan/Eparchial Policies Dealing with Allegations of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Priests or Deacons, under intense media scrutiny.

Contemporary challenges are great, but that they can be Cardinal Daniel N. addressed without DiNardo anger and with love Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston said in his first address as USCCB president during the bishops’ fall general assembly. “We are facing a time that seems more divided than ever,” Cardinal DiNardo said. “Divisions over health care, conscience protections, immigration and refugees, abortion, physician-assisted suicide, gender ideologies, the meaning of marriage and all the other headlines continue to be hotly debated. But our role continues to be witnessing the Gospel.” See related He explained that column, page 4. the National Catholic War Council, created by the U.S. bishops in 1917 in the response to the world refugee crisis that emerged from World War I and the forerunner to the USCCB, was formed to address great national and international needs at a time not unlike today.

    Blessed Trinity Catholic Community + Spirit of Christ Mission CATHOLIC TEACHINGS ON THE RIGHTS OF MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES The presence of so many people of so many different cultures and religions in so many different parts of the United States has challenged us as a Church to a profound conversion so that we can become truly a sacrament of unity. Welcoming the Stranger Among Us: Unity in Diversity, A Statement of the U.S. Catholic Bishops The new immigrants call most of us back to our ancestral heritage as descendants of immigrants and to our baptismal heritage as members of the body of Christ. Welcoming the Stranger Among Us: Unity in Diversity, Statement of the U.S. Catholic Bishops The presence of brothers and sisters from different cultures should be celebrated as a gift to the Church. Welcoming the Stranger Among Us: Unity in Diversity, A Statement of the U.S. Catholic Bishops Immigrants, new to our shores, call us out of our unawareness to a conversion of mind and heart through which we are able to offer a genuine and suitable welcome, to share together as brothers and sisters at the same table, and to work side by side to improve the quality of life for society's marginalized members.

Welcoming the Stranger Among Us: Unity in Diversity, A Statement of the U.S. Catholic Bishops The Catholic community is rapidly re-encountering itself as an "immigrant Church," a witness at once to the diversity of people who make up our world and to our unity in one humanity, destined to enjoy the fullness of God's blessing in Jesus Christ.

  • HISTORY of the NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE for GIRL SCOUTS and CAMP FIRE by Virginia Reed
    Revised 3/11/2019 HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE FOR GIRL SCOUTS AND CAMP FIRE By Virginia Reed The present National Catholic Committee for Girl Scouts and Camp Fire dates back to the early days of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and the National Catholic Welfare Conference. Although it has functioned in various capacities and under several different names, this committee's purpose has remained the same: to minister to the Catholic girls in Girl Scouts (at first) and Camp Fire (since 1973). Beginnings The relationship between Girl Scouting and Catholic youth ministry is the result of the foresight of Juliette Gordon Low. Soon after founding the Girl Scout movement in 1912, Low traveled to Baltimore to meet James Cardinal Gibbons and consult with him about her project. Five years later, Joseph Patrick Cardinal Hayes of New York appointed a representative to the Girl Scout National Board of Directors. The cardinal wanted to determine whether the Girl Scout program, which was so fine in theory, was equally sound in practice. Satisfied on this point, His Eminence publicly declared the program suitable for Catholic girls. In due course, the four U.S. Cardinals and the U.S. Catholic hierarchy followed suit. In the early 1920's, Girl Scout troops were formed in parochial schools and Catholic women eagerly became leaders in the program. When CYO was established in the early 1930's, Girl Scouting became its ally as a separate cooperative enterprise. In 1936, sociologist Father Edward Roberts Moore of Catholic charities, Archdiocese of New York, studied and approved the Girl Scout program because it was fitting for girls to beome "participating citizens in a modern, social democracy." This support further enhanced the relationship between the Catholic church and Girl Scouting.

An A-list of insightful voices from the Catholic world (and some important ones from outside it) explore the Pope’s use of words like clericalism, family, joy, money, and sourpuss. Together, they reveal what Francis’s use of these words says about him, his ministry and priorities, and their significance to the church, the world, and the lives of individual Christians. The entire collection is introduced by a foreword by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholo- mew, the spiritual leader of Orthodox Christians worldwide, and a preface by one of Francis’s closest advisors, Cardinal Seán O’Malley. It is edited by two of the most highly regarded Vatican affairs journalists in the world today, Cindy Wooden, who is chief of the Rome bureau of Catholic News Service, and Joshua J.

Today The Thomas Merton Center community worships and celebrates Sunday liturgy each week at the regularly scheduled 8:45 am parish Mass at St. Thomas Aquinas Church. Members of the Thomas Merton community plan these liturgies in the spirit of Vatican II and its call to “full, active and conscious participation” in Catholic liturgical life. The Thomas Merton Center is supported by your donations. If you choose to donate by check or cash, every Sunday there is a donation basket in the back of church or by the coffeepot after Mass—or you can use the envelope in the bulletin the last Sunday of every month to mail your donation. Please do not put your TMC donation in the collection baskets passed during Mass (these are for parish contributions only). Calendar No meetings this week. From Today, with the enormous amplification of news and of opinion, we are suffering from Thomas more than acceptable distortions of perspective. Our supposed historical conscious- Merton ness, over-informed and over-stimulated, is threatened with death by bloating, and we are overcome with a political elephantiasis which sometimes seems to make all actual forward motion useless if not impossible.
