O’Malley. “This concern has rightly grown in recent years,” he wrote in a letter to the senators. The cardinal, who is chairman of the Cardinal Sean P.

Franciscan Father Michael Perry, a native of Indianapolis and minister general of the Order of Friars Minor, will be in attendance in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 23 when Pope Francis canonizes Blessed Serra, the 18th-century Franciscan missionary who founded the string of famous California missions. The pope’s decision to canonize Blessed Junipero has provoked some controversy, mainly because of the impact of the missions on native peoples and cultures and because of claims that Father Junipero used corporal punishment on the Indians who lived at the missions.

OR, FOUR MEN IN A BATEAU (213 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Natasha Levinson, Ph. D. Dozens of academic studies over the course of the past four or five decades have shown empirically that Catholic schools, according to a wide array of standards and measures, are the best schools at producing good American citizens. This dissertation proposes that this is so is partly because the schools are infused with the Catholic ethos (also called the Catholic Imagination or the Analogical Imagination) and its approach to the world in general. A large part of this ethos is based upon Catholic Anthropology, the Church’s teaching about the nature of the human person and his or her relationship to other people, to Society, to the State, and to God.

  • Black Catholic March for Racial Justice
    Black Catholic March for Racial Justice Dear Friends, I hope this email finds you and your families both healthy and safe. Black Catholic March for Racial Justice to be held in Milwaukee This Saturday, July 11, 2020, beginning at 9:30 a.m., the Black Catholic Ministry Commission and the Archdiocese will host a Black Catholic March for Racial Justice. The march begins at St. Francis of Assisi Parish (1927 Vel R. Phillips Ave, Milwaukee). We ask that participants begin gathering at 9 a.m. We recommend that people wear facemasks and bring water bottles. The march will proceed to the former site of Blessed Martin de Porres Parish (7th St. and Galena) and conclude at St. Benedict the Moor Parish (930 W State St., Milwaukee), for a distance of 1.3 miles. The initiative of the march came from Fr. Michael Bertram, OFM Cap., pastor of St. Francis of Assisi parish, and the event is supported by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. The Black Catholic March for Racial Justice will seek to: Publically support and stand in solidarity with African Americans and members of the Black community, who suffer racial injustice. Denounce the sin of racism and racial injustice. Commemorate the commitment of the Catholic Church in Milwaukee to support African Americans and the Black communities through historic ministerial efforts of the following parishes: St. Benedict the Moor, Blessed Martin de Porres, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Boniface, and more recently St. Martin de Porres and All Saints. If you have any question, please contact Fessahaye Mebrahtu our Director of Black Catholic & Ethnic Ministries at MebrahtuF@archmil.org.

Ev- ery day of the week Rosie and his crew pick up food donated by local grocery stores, bakeries and restaurants and deliver it to the St. Vin- cent de Paul Dining Room, where it is used to feed hundreds of poor and needy in the Baton Rouge area. “It’s God’s work, it’s not mine. God said to take care of his people, to feed them, clothe them and nurse them,” Martina said. So almost every day of his life, Martina can be found in his blue pick up truck, piled high with produce, bread and anything else he can get to help the St. Vincent de Paul kitchen. “I’m trying to do my tiny part. What I’m do- ing I am doing from the bottom of my heart,” he said. When Martina is not delivering food, he is seeking donations from new sources or coor- dinating grocery pickup with his volunteers, mostly retired people willing to help. 90-year-old Rosie Martina uses his pickup truck to deliver donated grocery items to the St. Vincent de Paul Dining Room, St. Vincent de Paul Dining Room supervisor where they are used to feed the hungry of the Baton Rouge area.
