  • Interfaith Statement of Opposition to the Death Penalty
    Interfaith Statement of Opposition to the Death Penalty Dear Governor Abbott, Members of the 84th Texas Legislature, and Other Elected Officials, We, the undersigned 556 faith leaders, reflecting the rich diversity of faith traditions observed in this great state, stand together in expressing our deep concerns about the death penalty in Texas. Our concerns are both moral and practical and are rooted in our religious traditions. We write to you today to call for the end of the death penalty in Texas in the belief that this practice is not in the best interest of our State, our justice system, or the safety of our people. We join with many Texans in questioning our state’s death penalty system, which has consistently been shown to be unfair and inaccurate. Texas leads the nation in the number of executions carried out each year. In fact, our state is a significant outlier in this regard, accounting for more than one third of all executions nationwide since 1976. Well- documented evidence suggests that often it has not been the crime itself but rather such factors as race, socioeconomics, geography, or politics that have determined the application of the death penalty. Another grave concern is the number of individuals who have been wrongfully convicted and spent years on death row for crimes they did not commit. As faith leaders, we are greatly disturbed by the presence of violence in our communities. We believe that instead of allocating scarce resources to fund an irrevocably flawed capital punishment system, the State of Texas should invest in victim support services, effective law enforcement, drug treatment programs, child and family services, and mental healthcare – all measures that hold potential for preventing future acts of violence.

Serving the Church in Central and Southern Indiana Since 1960 CriterionOnline.com January 24, 2020 Vol. LX, No. 15 75¢ Bills offer protections for pregnant women in the workplace By Victoria Arthur As a leading pro-life voice in the Catholic Church calls on 2020 to be a “Year of Service” to pregnant women, the Indiana Catholic Conference (ICC) is closely monitoring legislation that would promote safer working environments for employees who are expecting a child. Companion bills introduced in the Indiana House and Senate this month would prohibit an employer with 15 or more employees from discriminating against a pregnant worker. House Bill 1294 and Senate Bill 342 also would require employers to provide “reasonable accommodations” for their pregnant employees per a doctor’s recommendation—from offering them extra breaks in their work day to being exempt from heavy lifting. “Passage of this legislation would allow women to be employed without the stress and fear of working in situations that could lead to miscarriage,” said Angela Espada, executive director of the ICC, the public Pope Francis presents Archbishop Charles C. Thompson with a gift on Dec. 12 after the pontiff met in the Apostolic Palace at the Vatican with policy voice of the Catholic Church in bishops from Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin as part of their “ad limina” visit, a pilgrimage to Rome that all bishops from around the world are Indiana. “Additionally, minor modifications required to make every five to seven years. (Vatican Media) and freedom from discrimination could also prevent a pregnant woman from seeking an abortion because she fears losing her job.” The timing of the proposed legislation Archbishop Thompson meets with pope, coincides with a challenge recently issued by Archbishop Joseph F.

    MINUTES OF THE ONE HUNDRED TWENTIETH ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE MICHIGAN STATE COUNCIL KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS HELD VIRTUALLY MARYSVILLE, MICHIGAN MAY 23, 2020 William Chassé: Supreme Knight, Worthy State Chaplain Reverend Paul Erickson, Worthy State Officers, Worthy Past State Deputies, Worthy District Deputies, Worthy State Regional and Diocesan Directors, Worthy General Agents, and Convention Delegates, this is State Deputy Bill Chassé. Thank you for joining us today, and welcome to the annual meeting of the Michigan State Council. I now declare this meeting in order. As we open this virtual meeting, I will ask our state chaplain, Rev. Paul Erickson, to open with prayer. Rev. Paul Erickson: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. O Mary, you always brighten our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Help of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain while remaining steadfast in faith. O Loving Mother, you know what we need, and we are confident you will provide for us [inaudible]. Intercede for us with your Son, Jesus, the Divine Physician, for those who have fallen ill, for those who are vulnerable, and for those who have died. Intercede also for those charged with protecting the health and safety of others and for those who are attending to the sick and seeking a cure. Help us, O Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who took upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows so as to lead us through the cross to the glory of the Resurrection.

  • St. Valentine Church
    St. Valentine Church Heartline Mission Statement: Guided by the Holy Spirit, we strive to live and share the Good News of Jesus Christ so that all may come to know God. As a Catholic Church and School Community we welcome, serve, teach, learn, reconcile and provide comfort and hope in the spirit of St Valentine. December 29, In taking on human form, Jesus entered our world and shared our deepest human experiences. Today we call to mind his experience of a most basic human reality: Family 2019 Life. “Families are at the very heart of our archdiocesan efforts to unleash the Gospel, because they are the first and most important setting in which evangelization takes place.” (Unleash the Gospel, Guidepost 7) The feast of the Holy Family is an invitation to reflect on our own experience of family life and a challenge to live our vocation as a Christian family. We are called in our relationships with one another and to reflect the love of God and make it present once again in the world. Today, on the feast of the Holy Family, the Church invites us to reflect on the nature of the relationships in a home, the relationships between husband and wife and parents and children. It offers the Holy Family as a model. The Holy Family was made up of a just man, a virgin mother and the Son of God. Yet, despite their special calling and their unique identity, we know that it was a truly human and earthly existence that they lived in Nazareth. They experienced the hardships of poverty and displacement, the struggle to make ends meet, the difficulties in having an adolescent son they did not quite understand, moments of grief.
