    • Atlanta, March 6, 1995 Rev. Msgr. Edward J. Dillon, Holy Spirit Catholic Church 4465 Northside Drive, NW Atlanta, GA_30327 Dear Monsignor Dillon, I am writing in the hope that you can solve our problem and help the Polish and Polish-American community in Atlanta celebrate Easter and Christmas Masses with a traditional blessing of the food before Easter Sunday, with old Polish Easter Hymns or Christmas Carols. After 'the funeral for Father John Ozarowski I had the chance to speak to archbishop Donoghue who suggested that Iconsult with you about having a Polish Mass for Easter and Christmas. The only Polish-speaking priest in the Archdiocese is Father Adam Ozimek who is a vicar at the Holy Spirit Catholic Church. As a representative of the Polish community Iam aware of the different needs of the most recent group of Polish emigres (since 1980). Many families are already involved in local parishes. However we would like to continue Holy Masses twice a year. It has been already a regular custom for us, for the last 5 years in Atlanta. The last Christmas Mass in the Cathedral was attended by almost 800 people. A significant number of those were 3rd and 4th generation Polish-Americans. Father John Ozarowski was also aware of the upcoming Olympic Games in 1996 and the need for a Polish-speaking priest at that time in Atlanta. Please consider the possibility of Father Adam Ozimek celebrating Easter Vigil Mass for us, either at the Holy Spirit on April 15, 1995 or, if space is unavailable, could he celebrate at the Hyland Center Gymnasium (behind the Cathedral), where we use to have Vigil Easter Mass with Father Ozarowski.

  • General History the Diocese of Vincennes—Now the Archdiocese of Indianapolis—Was Established by Pope Gregory XVI on May 6, 1834
    General History The Diocese of Vincennes—now the Archdiocese of Indianapolis—was established by Pope Gregory XVI on May 6, 1834. The territory then comprised the entire state of Indiana and the eastern third of Illinois. The latter was separated from the Diocese of Vincennes upon the establishment of the Diocese of Chicago, November 28, 1843. By decree of Pope Pius IX, January 8, 1857, the northern half of the state became the Diocese of Fort Wayne, the boundaries being that part of the state north of the south boundaries of Fountain, Montgomery, Boone, Hamilton, Madison, Delaware, Randolph, and Warren counties. The remaining southern half of the state made up the Diocese of Vincennes, embracing 50 counties. It covered an area of 18,479 square miles extending from the north boundaries of Marion and contiguous counties to the Ohio River and from Illinois on the west to Ohio on the east. The second bishop of Vincennes was permitted by apostolic brief to establish his resi- dence at Vincennes, Madison, Lafayette, or Indianapolis; Vincennes was, however, to remain the see city. This permission, with the subtraction of Lafayette, was renewed to the fourth bishop. Upon his appointment in 1878, Bishop Francis Chatard, the fifth bishop of Vincennes, was directed to fix his residence at Indianapolis. Although the site of the cathedral and the title of the see were continued at Vincennes, Bishop Chatard used St. John the Evangelist Parish in Indianapolis as an unofficial cathedral until the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul was completed in 1907. St. John the Evangelist Parish, established in 1837, was the first parish in Indianapolis and Marion County.

    Student and Parent Handbook 2021-2022 Setting the world ablaze with the love of Christ 1618 Ben King Road NW Kennesaw, Georgia 30144 770-419-8601 www.scsiena.org St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School Parent Partnership Agreement As the primary educators of their children, parents/guardians freely make the choice of a Catholic education for their children. Registration and acceptance at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School constitutes an agreement by the parent/guardian to accept and abide by the rules and regulations of the institution and to support its philosophy of education. A cooperative relationship between the St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School personnel and a parent/guardian is essential for the overall education of a student. It is critical that a cooperative relationship be maintained through constructive dialogue with the parent/guardian. Parents and students are agreeing to comply with not only the school’s stated policies in the handbook, but also those of the Archdiocese of Atlanta. If a parent/guardian refuses to abide by the policies and rules of St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School or, by word or action, is unsupportive of its goals or otherwise fails to meet his/her obligations under school or archdiocesan policies, the administrator may require the parent/guardian to withdraw his/her child or children from St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School. Additionally, parents/guardians will be held to the same standards of respect as students in regards to their interactions with administrators, teachers, staff, and students. Please review this handbook carefully with your child/ren. If there are areas that you feel you cannot support, please ask to discuss these with the Principal before the first day of school.

  • 2012-2013 Fiscal Year
    2012 – 2013 ANNUAL REPORT “The future starts today, not tomorrow” Pope Francis canonizes Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II on April 27, 2014 The mission of the is to support the ministries of the Catholic community through the effective long-term management of endowment funds and the encouragement of stewardship. “Do not walk through time without leaving worthy evidence of your passage.” A letter from the Executive Director I am thankful to be able to share with you another annual report highlighting the good work of The Catholic Foundation. The Catholic Foundation has a unique role in the ministry of our Church. We are here to support and assist the many ministries of our Catholic community seeking to build The Kingdom of God on earth. We do this by managing endowment funds, providing grants, and helping our fellow Catholics plan their own personal legacies. The Catholic Foundation oversees endowment funds for all 118 parishes, missions, and schools in the Archdiocese. We also manage endowments for the Archdiocese itself, for private Catholic schools, Catholic Charities, The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, and Ignatius House. Some endowments provide scholarships to Catholic schools. Others provide financial distributions for seminarians, campus ministry programs, and to parishes and other entities singled out by our growing number of donors for special attention. A donor – whether individual or institutional (the Archdiocese, for example) – may provide money for a specific purpose and even advise on the charitable direction the fund will take. The Catholic Foundation will handle the administration of the gifts on behalf of the donor.
