Calabrese Hayden Mitchell John Grenke John Conroy Noreen Nettleblad Juana Gutierrez Emily Hagemann Page 2 Conferencia Alpha, Londres En una comunicación anterior, les informé que había sido invitado a participar con otros representantes de la Arquidiócesis de Chicago en una conferencia dirigida por la parroquia Anglicana de la Santísima Trinidad en Brompton Road en el barrio de Knightsbridge de Londres. Aquellos de ustedes que están familiarizados con Londres pueden reconocer el nombre “Brompton Road.” Sobre él se encuentra el famoso Oratorio Romano Católico Brompton, en el que el recién canonizado San Juan Enrique Cardenal Newman a menudo predicaba. El Oratorio se encuentra justo al lado de la Iglesia Anglicana Holy Trinity Brompton. De hecho, las dos potencias espirituales comparten un estacionamiento. También comparten un intenso interés por parte de los Milenios. Ambas casas de adoración estaban llenas de gente veinteañera. Asistimos a la misa Dominical de las 11:00AM en el Oratorio Brompton, después del servicio dominical por la mañana en Holy Trinity Brompton. Me sentí abrumado por el número de jóvenes que participaban activamente en la adoración en ambas iglesias. Dios obviamente está trabajando mucho en esa pequeña parte de Londres. Alpha comenzó en la década de 1990 en Holy Trinity Brompton como la creación del Reverendo Nicky Gumbel, un joven cura Anglicano entusiasta. En ese momento, sólo unos pocos feligreses ancianos asistían a los servicios dominicales en la histórica iglesia. Sin embargo, el vecindario estaba trabajando con jóvenes, que, aunque aparentemente no estaban interesados en la religión tradicional, no obstante estaban ansiosos por seguir caminos espirituales en la búsqueda del significado más profundo de la vida. Junto con su esposa Pippa, el Reverendo Gumbel creó un proceso muy simple de proclamar a Cristo. Este proceso forma la base de Alfa hoy en día. Se basa en cuatro principios principales. 1) Hospitalidad. Alfa siempre comienza con una comida. 2) No Hay Juicio: El equipo Alfa es entrenado para aceptar a todos sus invitados como son, por lo que son. El equipo está capacitado para respetar opiniones diferentes. 3) Jesucristo se presenta a los participantes a través de una serie de presentaciones grabadas. El equipo de Alpha aborda las preguntas de los participantes sobre las presentaciones. 4) La oración es una parte esencial de Alfa, pero introducida cuidadosamente, gradualmente a los participantes. Al experimentar Alpha en su entorno original, me entusiasme por las posibilidades aquí en San Bartolomé. Espero reflexionar con ustedes más sobre las posibilidades de Alfa entre nuestra comunidad. Creo que el Señor podría hacer un buen uso de Alfa... y de nosotros para atraer a la gente para sí mismo. Padre Mike Page 3 Alpha Conference, London In a previous communication, I informed you that I had been invited to participate with other representatives of the Archdiocese of Chicago in a conference run by the Anglican parish of the Holy Trinity on Brompton Road in the Knightsbridge neighborhood of London. Those of you who are familiar with London may recognize the name "Brompton Road." Upon it sits the famous Roman Catholic Brompton Oratory, at which the newly canonized St. John Henry Cardinal Newman often preached. The Oratory is located immediately next door to Holy Trinity Brompton Anglican Church. In fact, the two spiritual powerhouses share a parking lot. They also share an intense interest on the part of Millennials. Both houses of worship were packed to the rafters with people in their twenties. We attended the 11:00 AM Sunday Mass at the Brompton Oratory, following the Sunday morning service at Holy Trinity Brompton. I was overwhelmed by the number of young people actively engaged in worship in both churches. God is obviously very much at work in that relatively small section of London. Alpha began in the 1990s at Holy Trinity Brompton as the brainchild of the Reverend Nicky Gumbel, a zealous young Anglican curate. At the time, only a few elderly parishioners were attending Sunday services at the historic church. However, the neighborhood was teaming with young people, who, although seemingly uninterested in traditional religion, were nonetheless eager to pursue spiritual paths in seeking out life's deeper meaning. Along with his wife Pippa, the Reverend Gumbel fashioned a very simple process of proclaiming Christ. This process forms the basis of Alpha today. It rests upon four main principles. 1) Hospitality. Alpha always begins with a meal. 2) Non-Judgement: The Alpha team is coached to accept all of their guests as they are, for who they are. The team is trained to respect differing opinions. 3) Jesus Christ is presented to the participants through a series of taped presentations. The Alpha team addresses questions of the participants about the presentations. 4) Prayer is an essential part of Alpha, but introduced carefully, gradually to the participants. As I experienced Alpha in its original setting, I became enthused about its possibilities at St. Bart's. I look forward to reflecting with you further on Alpha's possibilities among our people. I believe that the Lord might make good use of Alpha....and of us in drawing people to Himself.

  • The Classical Rite of the Catholic Church a Sermon Preached at the Launch of CIEL UK at St
    The Classical Rite of the Catholic Church A sermon preached at the launch of CIEL UK at St. James' Spanish Place, Saturday 1st March, 1997 by Fr. Ignatius Harrison Provost of Brompton Oratory. he things we have heard and understood the things our fathers have told us, T these we will not hide from their children but will tell them to the next generation... He gave a command to our fathers to make it known to their children that the next generation might know it, the children yet to be born .- Psalm 77 FOR those of us who love the classical Roman rite, the last few years have been a time of great encouragement. The Holy Father has made it abundantly clear that priests and laity who are attached to the traditional liturgy must have access to it, and to do so is a legitimate aspiration. Many bishops and prelates have not only celebrated the traditional Mass themselves, but have enabled pastoral and apostolic initiatives within their dioceses, initiatives that make the classical liturgy increasingly accessible. Growing numbers of younger priests who do not remember the pre-conciliar days are discovering the beauty and prayerfulness of the classical forms. Religious communities which have the traditional rites as their staple diet are flourishing, blessed with many vocations. Thousands upon thousands of the faithful are now able to attend the traditional Mass regularly, in full and loyal communion with their bishop in full and loyal communion with the Sovereign Pontiff, the Vicar of Christ. All this, we must believe, is the work of the Lord and it is marvellous in our eyes.

    jcESLAUS SIPOVICH IN MEMORIAM~ Downloaded from Brill.com09/25/2021 08:13:29AM via free access 4 THE JOURNAL OF BYELORUSSIAN STUDIES Ceslaus Sipovich 1914-1981 Downloaded from Brill.com09/25/2021 08:13:29AM via free access Bishop Ceslaus Sipovich 1914-1981 Bishop Ceslaus Sipovich, M.I.C., Titular Bishop of Mariamme and Apostolic Visitor of Byelorussians, died in London on Sunday 4 October 1981. His death, caused by a massive coronary, occurred during a meeting to mark the tenth anniversary of the Francis Skaryna Byelorussian Library and Museum, which he had founded. In his person Byelorussians have lost one of their most outstanding religious and national leaders of the century. One old frtend ex­ pressed the feelings of many when he said that for him the death of Bishop Sipovich marked the end of an era. Ceslaus Sipovich was born on 8 December 1914 into a farming family at Dziedzinka, a small village in the north-western corner of Byelorussia. At that particular time Byelorussia was incorporated in the Russian Empire, but some years later, as a result of changes brought about by the First World War, its western regions came under Polish rule. The parents of Ceslaus, Vincent (1877-1957) and Jadviha, born Tycka (1890-1974) were both Catholics. They had eight children, of whom five- four boys and one girl- survived, Ceslaus being the eldest. The life of a Byelorussian peasant was not easy, and children were expected at an early age to start to help their parents with the farm work. Ceslaus was no exception, and from that time on, throughout his entire life, he retained a love and respect for manual labour, especially that of a farmer.

  • August 2016 England Info Sheet
    Dear Friend, Once again we set out on pilgrimage, this time to a land many of us will feel comfortable in: Merrie England. And there will be a certain “merriment” in this journey, for we will travel with joyful companions, our friends from England, Leonie and Tessa Caldecott (the widow and daughter of the late Stratford Caldecott, one of the great Catholic editors and writers of the past half century), in the footsteps of the great English saints: St. Thomas a Becket, St. Thomas More, St. John Fisher, St. Edmund Campion, Blessed John Henry Newman, and the writers known as the “Inklings,” J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S.Lewis and the incomparable G.K.Chesterton. With such companions, our days will be merry, and our mornings and evenings bathed in the gentle light of a British summertime. We will begin at Oxford, the ancient university which will be our home for several days. We will get to know the colleges of Oxford, its great library, its pathways and byways, its churches and, yes, its pubs, where Tolkien and C.S. Lewis sometimes dined together. The days will include a steady diet of reflection, in the presentations of some of England’s most thoughtful Catholics of our time, as they instruct us on the history of the Church in England, the life and times of Thomas More and John Fisher, of William Shakespeare, and on down to more recent times. Day by day we will study, and learn, and come to understand what the faith has meant to the British, how it shaped their hearts and minds, how it passed through persecution and apostasy, and how it is being lived today in the very places where it was lived by these great saints and writers.
