Invasions happened through guns and battles but also through the extent of foreign languages and culture ineducation. The education sector and structures that hosted it, passed through stages of transformations, developments and regressions dependent on the course of history and the forces of foreign countries shaping it. The main objective of this research is to highlight the Albanian school buildings through two parallel points of view: an outlookthrough the course of history and analyzed as structures. This article tries to explore the changes that occurred in educational buildings in Albania.Itfocuses on the influences, problems and issues that have emerged, during the several invasions and how these influences have affected the architecture of Albanian’s schools. This analysis is followed by a discussion of the architecture’s development and the typology, standards, structures and shapes of this category of buildings focusing mostly on the last century, trying to fill the gap of history and knowledge for this important group of edifices. Keywords: Albania, school architecture, transformation of buildings, history, educational structures. 1.

Faith Formation Handbook Blessed Sacrament Parish Community 3109 Swede Ave, Midland MI 48642-3842 (989) 835-6777, Fax (989) 835-2451
Faith Formation Handbook Blessed Sacrament Parish Community 3109 Swede Ave, Midland MI 48642-3842 (989) 835-6777, Fax (989) 835-2451 September 7, 2019 Dear People of God, Soon we will be starting this year’s faith formation programs. The opportunity to learn about our relationship with God is an amazing gift. I cannot think of another thing that not only impacts our lives now but will also echo for all eternity. I am personally excited to be walking this journey with you and your families. As you may already know…our focus is on truly being TEAM CATHOLIC. Being the part of any team requires cooperation and a common goal. Our goal is to do our part to help bring about the kingdom of God. We do just that whenever we take the gifts that God gives us and share them freely with one another. Allow me a quick sports analogy. In the late 1980’s Steve Yzerman was a perennial top scorer in the National Hockey League. In spite of that, the Red Wings couldn’t win in the playoffs. That was until their coach asked Yzerman to change his playing style. This change, while costing him individual statistics, would turn him into a defensive superstar and transform the Red Wings into Stanley Cup Champs. As a member of TEAM CATHOLIC it isn’t about individual accolades but is about the team. We want all people to know that they are valued and that they are part of this diverse and sometimes quirky family we call the Church. -
Lonergan on the Catholic University Richard M Liddy, Seton Hall University
Seton Hall University From the SelectedWorks of Richard M Liddy October, 1989 Lonergan on the Catholic University Richard M Liddy, Seton Hall University Available at: https://works.bepress.com/richard_liddy/13/ Lonergan on the Catholic University Msgr. Richard M. Liddy Seton Hall University South Orange, NJ A version of this appeared as "Lonergan on the Catholic University," Method: Journal of Lonergan Studies, vol. 7, no. 2 (October 1989), 116 - 131. LONERGAN ON THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY Msgr. Richard M. Liddy In 1951 Bernard Lonergan wrote an article entitled "The Role of a Catholic University in the Modern World." Originally published in French, it can be found in Lonergan's Collection.1 Published at the same time he was working on his magnum opus, Insight, it reflects the basic thrust of that major work. Some years later, in 1959, in a series of lectures in Cincinnati on the philosophy of education Lonergan touched again upon the subject of the Catholic university.2 Here he adverted to the fact that of its very nature the whole immense Catholic school system is rooted in a "supernaturalist vision" that is in conflict with the dominant philosophies of education of modern times. The fact is that we have a Catholic educational system, with primary schools, high schools, colleges and universities. That is the concrete fact and it exists because it is Catholic.3 What Lonergan finds lacking is a philosophical vision capable of defending the existence of the Catholic school system. Educational theorists tend to be divided into "modernists" whose appeal is to human experience and scientific verification and "traditionalists" who appeal to immutable truths transcending scientific verification. -
And the Transformation of the Catholic Church in Philadelphia, 1789-1850
Displaced "Pan-Americans" and the Transformation of the Catholic Church in Philadelphia, 1789-1850 HE REVEREND JOHN HUGHES TOLD A GREAT STORY about the construction of the Roman Catholic church of St. John the Evangelist in Philadelphia. Hughes, the project's major fundraiser, St. John's first pastor, and later archbishop of New York, related that his announcement in 1830 of the plan to build a grand new cornerstone of Catholic life garnered only a lukewarm response from his congregation. Days went by before he received his first donation, from a humble ser- vant, who delivered to the priest a few precious cents from her meager wages. From that moment on, Hughes "never had a doubt of the success" of the building project.1 This lovely anecdote, redolent of New Testament teachings, burnishes one of the principal and lasting images of the Catholic Church in the United States, but it obscures crucial aspects of St. John's construction and the Catholic Church's broader institutional development. From the 1780s to the mid-nineteenth century, a small group of "Pan-Americans," men and women with extensive ties to Latin America and the Caribbean, played a determinative role in the church's transformation in Philadelphia and, as a result, the nation as a whole. Some, their lives thrown into disarray by internecine warfare and eco- nomic upheaval, came to Philadelphia for short periods of time, while others made a permanent home in the city. Here, they met residents with an existing network of economic, political, and cultural ties to the region. This group became embroiled in an intense confrontation over the future of American Catholicism. -
Archbishop John J. Hughes the Building of St
A MONUMENTAL LEGACY ARCHBISHOP JOHN J. HUGHES THE BUILDING OF ST. PATRICK’S CATHEDRAL Featuring a Selection of Paintings from the Brian P. Burns Collection of Irish Art THE CONSULATE GENERAL OF IRELAND, NEW YORK MARCH 7 – JULY 31, 2014 Page1.ap.indd 1 2/27/14 11:11 PM THE IRISH IMMIGRANTS who fled their famine-ravaged homeland during the 1840s made an immediate and indelible impact on their adopted country. Within a generation St. Patrick’s Cathedral rose above Fifth Avenue as a living monument to their ascendance in America. The Cathedral soon became a New York City landmark. Today, “America’s Parish Church” is visited by millions and known throughout the world. Born in Ireland and educated in America, Archbishop John J. Hughes emerged as the visionary and driving force behind the Cathedral, which he considered a necessary sanctuary for his people and their faith. Fo- cusing on his remarkable life, A Monumental Legacy tells the story of a diaspora for whom the Cathedral he envisioned became both a spiritual home and a symbol of their success as a community. This year, the sesquicentennial of Archbishop Hughes’s death, St. Pat- rick’s is undergoing an historic restoration. A Monumental Legacy tells the story of the evolution of Irish America in 19th century New York. The exhibition features extensive original research and a selection of paintings from the Brian P. Burns Collection, one of the most impor- tant private collections of Irish American art. Narrative panels and rare images from the Archdiocesan archives further enhance the exhibition which runs through July 31, 2014. -

Dissertations (2009 -). Paper 155. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/155 THE CHALLENGE AND PROMISE OF CATHOLIC HIGHER EDUCATION: THE LAY PRESIDENT AND CATHOLIC IDENTITY by Kathy A. Herrick, B.S., M.S.E. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2011 ABSTRACT THE CHALLENGE AND PROMISE OF CATHOLIC HIGHER EDUCATION: THE LAY PRESIDENT AND CATHOLIC IDENTITY Kathy A. Herrick, B.S., M.S.E. Marquette University, 2011 Twenty years after Ex Corde Ecclesiae, the papal proclamation that defined the relationship between the Catholic Church and Catholic institutions of higher education, these institutions continue to seek ways to strengthen their Catholic identities. As they do so they are faced with a declining number of religiously vowed men and women available to lead them. An institution‘s history is often linked to the mission of its founding congregation. As members of the congregation become less actively involved, the connection of the institution‘s mission to the founding congregation and their particular charism is likely to be less visibly evident. Additionally, the role of the American university president today is viewed by many to be an almost impossible job. -

September 5, 2021 ENTRANCE HYMN: Your Hands, O Lord MOZART 1. Your hands, O Lord, in days of old Were strong to heal and save; They triumphed o'er disease and death, O'er darkness and the grave. To you they went, the blind, the deaf, The palsied, and the lame, The leper set apart and shunned, The sick and those in shame. 2. And then your touch brought life and health, Gave hearing, speech, and sight; While strength renewed and health restored Acclaimed you Lord of light; And so, O Lord, be near to bless, With all your healing pow'r, In troubled home, in crowded street, In sorrow's saddest hour. 3. O be our mighty healer still, Great Lord of life and death; Restore and strengthen, soothe and bless, With your almighty breath; On hands that work and eyes that see, Your healing wisdom pour, That whole and sick, and weak and strong, May praise you evermore.
