HOLY CROSS CHURCH November 2, 2014 CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS ON THE WAY TO HEAVEN HOLY CROSS SCHOOL Every year All Souls Day follows All Saints Day. We celebrate 4TH GRADE SAINTS those who are in heaven, then we remember those on the way to heaven. Catholics believe that not all those who die in God's The 4th grade class of Holy Cross School grace are immediately ready for the Beatific Vision, that is, ready traditionally do a saints project. The children to see the beauty of God face to face. So, they must be purified of choose a saint to research and represent. their "lesser faults," and the temporal effects of sin. The Catholic Church calls this purification "purgatory." On the cover is this year’s group of saints. The Catholic teaching on Purgatory requires belief in two realities: FIRST ROW (SAINT) 1) that there will be a purification of believers prior to entering heaven, and 2) that the prayers and Masses of the faithful in some way Emily Leininger Elizabeth Ann Seton benefit those in the state of purification. As to the duration, place, Brooke Hasenstab Margaret of Scotland and nature of this purification, the Church has no official dogma, Addy McCleod Agnes although St. Augustine and others used fire as a way to explain Kambyl Stipes Rose of Lima the nature of the purification. As a more everyday explanation, Ava Borbely Joan of Arc many liken Purgatory to a place or state where one gets "cleaned Erin Patton Mary, Mother of God up" before entering into the presence of Almighty God. Laura Wolter-Krupp Helen Ariana Howie Galla The Church prays for the faithful departed throughout the year. Natalia Andino-Guerra Kateri Tekakwitha But All Souls Day is the general, solemn day of commemoration, Jose Andino-Guerra Joseph when the Church remembers, prays for, and offers requiem Masses for the faithful departed in the state of purification. The SECOND ROW Faithful will take this day to offer prayers on behalf of their departed relatives and friends. Donavan Gudauskas Christopher Nathan Spila Thomas Aquinas Christians have been praying for their departed brothers and Anneliese Kisting Queen Esther sisters since the earliest days of Christianity. Early liturgies and Amanda Hummel Katherine Laboure inscriptions on catacomb walls attest to the ancientness of Ella Tangen Elizabeth of Hungary prayers for the dead. Francina Cecilia Praying for the dead is actually borrowed from Judaism, as Caleb Twohey Francis of Assisi indicated in 2 Maccabees 12:41-42. In the New Testament, St. Paul Aaron Hendron Michael the Archangel prays for mercy for his departed friend Onesiphorus (2 Timothy Wendy Lopez Therese the Little Flower 1:18). Early Christian writers Tertullian and St. Cyprian testify to Daniel Messeh Sebastian the regular practice of praying for the souls of the departed. Cale Quiram Dominic Savio Tertullian justified the practice based on custom and tradition. THIRD ROW All this demonstrates that Christians believed their prayers could somehow have a positive effect on the souls of departed Brody Stonecipher Matthew believers. Closely connected to the ancient practice of praying for Carter Logsden John the Baptist the dead is the belief in an explicit state called purgatory. Disha Chawla Clare Mary Beth Franey Katherine of Alexandria The New Testament hints at a purification of believers after death. Tony Hoffman Anthony of Padua For example, St. Paul speaks of being saved, "but only as through Tirth Panchal Pius X fire" (1 Corinthians 3:15). Over time, many Church Fathers further Julian Torres John Bosco developed the concept of a purgation of sins through fire after death. Annika Scott Perpetua The whole concept of purgatory and a purification process before Lucas a soul enters the full presence of God is actually a confirmation on Grosse-Perdekamp Lawrence just how merciful and compassionate our God is—and how much Logan Kurtz Isadore the Farmer He desires every soul to live with Him for eternity. To be in God’s presence a person must be ready, that is, “presentable” for the FOURTH ROW Almighty. Very few other than the Blessed Mother are totally Paul Lehman Patrick presentable to our all-perfect and holy God. Our loving God, Jasmine Waite Mother Frances Cabrini therefore, has provided a purification process, called purgatory, to Sylvia Wither-Sickles Sylvia make every one presentable to Him. Hadley Peters Bernadette So, purgatory is a good thing. All those in purgatory are on their James George way to heaven, and our prayers and charitable works could help Addy Klein Lucy them get there soon. Aidan Beckett Stephen Fr.

    NNATIONALATIONAL RRIGHTIGHT TOTO WWORKORK CCOMMITTEEOMMITTEE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION PERSONNEL ALERT John J. Sullivan Big Labor Lawyer Nominated Position: Federal Election Commissioner Executive Summary The phrase of the week has been “life experience” regarding President Obama’s Supreme Court nomination. So, today’s National Right To Work Committee alert looks at the real “life experi- ence” of Federal Election Board nominee John Sullivan. From his time as a Steelworkers Union President (1978) through today, Sullivan’s working life experience has been focused on defending the actions of labor union bosses and promoting their forced-dues power. Even during his brief time as a Teamsters Election Officer Counsel, the public record available indicates that his actions supported power grabs by corrupt, incumbent union bosses. In one case, he represented the Election Officer in his demand to disclose personal information about those who supported the incumbent Teamster boss’ opponents. Sullivan’s legal positions must have impressed some Teamster union bosses because soon-to-be barred-for-life Teamster Boss Ron Carey hired Sullivan to be the Teamster Associate General Counsel. While Sullivan was Teamster Counsel, the Teamsters and multiple organizations, in- cluding the Clinton White House and the Democrat National Committee, devised and pursued a multi-million dollar election campaign finance money laundering scheme. This scheme directly involved familiar names like Terry McAuliffe and Harold Ickes. Despite the legal efforts of Sullivan and other Teamster lawyers, the federal government took the extreme and rare step of barring Sullivan’s boss, Ron Carey, for life from the Teamsters un- ion.

    Keeping Our Focus on Francis an SFO REVIEW - Fr

    Keeping our focus on Francis AN SFO REVIEW - Fr. John Sullivan, ofm ALL CREATION in Christ B1 have on hand: SFO Rule; Catechism of Cath.Church St. Paul wrote to the Colossians (1:15-18) “He [Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creatures. In him everything in heaven and on earth was created, things visible and invisible. All were created through him; all were created for him. He is before all else that is. In him everything continues in being. It is he who is head of the body, the church!.. he who is the beginning, the first-born of the dead, so that primacy may be his in everything. Friar Celano-I in (-p.250-1 ) chapter 29 describes the love that he [Francis] had toward all creatures for the sake of the creator and a description of both aspects of his person. “To enumerate and recount all the things our glorious father Francis did and taught while living in the flesh would be a lengthy or an even impossible task. Who could ever express the deep affection he bore for all things that belong to God. Or who would be able to tell of the sweet tenderness he enjoyed while contemplating in creatures the wisdom, power, and goodness of the Creator? From this reflection he often overflowed with amazing, unspeakable joy as he looked at the sun, gazed at the moon, or observed the stars in the sky. What simple piety! What pious simplicity!” And there’s more.... Friar Thomas of Celano reflects (Cel-II, chap.124,in Omnibus,p.494): “In every work of the artist he [Francis] praised the Artist; whatever he found in the things made he referred to the Maker.

These conclusions have been reached through independent experiments not related to educational work in foreign countries. While sojourning in Athens I had the pleasure of visiting the best schools, both public and private, and found the reading especially spirited. I examined the books in use and found the regular reading- books to consist of the classic tales of the country, the stories of Herakles, Theseus, Perseus, and so forth, in the reader succeeding the primer, and the stories of Odysseus, or Ulysses, as we commonly call him, following as a third book, answering to our second or third reader.

Laura Diamond Dissertation in partial fulfilment of: M.A. in Catholic School Leadership: Principles and Practice St Mary’s University 2015 1 RegNum: 921383 Abstract This dissertation has been written in the context of Catholic school leadership and examines the extent to which senior leaders in Catholic primary schools are trained, prepared and willing to take on the role of Head Teacher. In order to explore the preparation of potential Head Teachers, a number of key areas have been examined including: the role of the Head Teacher; the preparation essential to the role as well as potential challenges in recruiting Head Teachers to Catholic primary schools. A small scale research project was then designed to evaluate the extent to which these key areas contributed to the preparation of potential Head Teachers in a sample of four Catholic primary schools.
