St. Marianne Cope 1838 - 1918 St. Marianne Cope 1838 - 1918 By: Sydney H. Fun Facts - Feastday: January 23 - Birth: January 23, 1838 in Heppenheim, today a part of Germany - Death: August 9, 1918 - Patron of lepers, outcasts, those with HIV/AIDS, and the Hawaiians St. Marianne Cope was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on October 21, 2012. St. Marianne Cope was beatified in 2005 and declared a saint by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012. Family St. Marianne Cope’s father died in 1862. This is the same year that Marianne and her siblings were allowed to leave the factory to start a religious life. Why St. Marianne Cope is the Perfect Name St. Marianne Cope is the perfect name for our Parish Cluster because she is the patron saint of outcasts and people with diseases. All of those people with diseases are different, even though they have the same disease. We are also different from one another. St. Marianne Cope is the perfect name. Why We Should Name Our Parish Cluster And School Saint Marianne Cope! By Abbey and josie Introduction! On the next couple of slides, there are reasons why we should name our churches and school St. Marianne Cope. Saint Marianne Cope’s Facts of Life! Birthday January 23, 1838 Deathday August 9, 1918 Feastday January 23 Patron Saint of People with HIV/AIDS and leprosy, outcasts, and Hawai’i Beatified on May 14, 2005 by Pope Benedict XVI Canonized on October 21, 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI Maria Anna Barbara Koob! Saint Marianne Cope was baptized with the name Maria Anna Barbara Koob. MarianneChildhood! was born in Germany January 23, 1838. Then her and her family moved to the United States when she was 1 year old. They settled in New York where she had to work in a factory to support her family. Adulthood! She started out in New York as a sister. There she created the first 2 catholic hospitals. After that she moved to Hawaii to manage a hospital for leprosy. She also cared for orphans. As she got old, it got hard to care for the sick, but she still did it. Then she had to get a wheelchair because she was getting old and frail. She eventually died on August 9, 1918. She worked to her death to help others in need. Her Miracles! When Marianne was working with the people with leprosy, she never got the disease. Another miracle was in 1993 ( after her death) a woman was magically cured after organ failures following prayers to Mother Marianne. Closing! Now that you have learned her history, Abbey anD Josie think you should choose St. Marianne Cope for the Church name because she helped others all her life, even when she knew she was going to die soon. We should all try to help others in need more often, like St. Marianne Cope. Thank you Thanks for watching!!!!!! Have a nice day and God Bless You!!!!!!!!! Your friends, Abbey L. and Josie Saint Marianne Cope By: Olivia Heinecke Maria Anne Cope’s Childhood Maria Anne Cope was born in Germany and was the oldest of ten children. Her parents Peter Koob and Barbara Koob were farmers. A year after Maria Anne’s birth her family moved to the United States of America. They lived in Utica which is in New York State and became members of Saint Joseph's Parish Church and School. She was amazed at the sisters who devoted their lives to Jesus. Maria Anne felt the call to the religious life when she was very young, but was put off because of family obligations. As the oldest child she had to work in a factory after eighth grade to support her family when her father became sick. Maria Anne Cope Becomes a Sister and Helps the Church By the time Maria Anne was twenty-four her father had died. Her siblings were old enough to take care of the family so she became a sister. She joined the Sisters of the Third Order Regular of Saint Francis, based in Syracuse, New York. Maria Anne became a Franciscan Nun and received the new name, Sister Marianne. She became a schoolteacher, then a principal at newly established schools for German speaking immigrants in the area. Sister Marianne was elected to the Governing Council of her religious order. In that role she opened two Franciscan Hospitals in Central New York and was Superior General at St. Joseph’s Hospital. The Franciscan Hospitals were unlike others at the time. They didn’t discriminate their patients based on their race or creed. She was well known for her kindness to all New Yorkers. Sister Marianne Cope’s Work For The Church By that time Sister Marianne became the Provincial Mother in Syracuse. She received a letter from a priest asking her to come help in schools and hospitals with mainly leper patients on the Hawaiian Islands. She responded saying… “I am hungry for the work and I wish with all my heart to be one of the chosen ones, whose privilege it will be to sacrifice themselves for the salvation of the souls of the poor Islanders…. I am not afraid of any disease; hence, it would be my greatest delight even to minister to the abandoned ‘lepers’.” Sister Marianne’s Work in Hawaii With six other Sisters of St. Francis, Mother Marianne arrived at Honolulu in November 1883. The sisters would manage and serve at the Kaka’ako Branch Hospital on Oahu, a receiving station where leprosy patients from throughout the Hawaiian Islands were sent to prevent the further spread of the disease. Within two years, the sisters had cleaned the hospital and treated the 200 patients, making major improvements in living conditions; and in 1905 they founded the Kapi’olani Home, a residence for the daughters of leprosy patients, within the walls of the hospital compound. Fear of the disease had made public officials unwilling to care for the close relatives of those afflicted by the disease; only the sisters would welcome them and offer the home and education that these girls needed. At the End of Her Life Sister Marianne met Father Damien who had contracted leprosy. The church and government was afraid to welcome him. Only Marianne would provide hospitality. At the end of his life Sister Marianne promised to manage the Home for Boys, which he had founded. Near the end of Sister Marianne’s life, she cared for 103 girls at the Bishop's Home for Girls and operated the Home for Boys at Kalawao once Father Damien died. Sister Marianne died on August 9, 1918 because of natural causes and is buried at the Bishop's Home. “The good of charity knows no creed and is confined to no one place.” Saint Marianne Important Days For Saint Marianne Cope *Marianne Cope was born in West Germany on January 23, 1838. *Her Feastday is on January 23, which is her birthday. *She died on August 9, 1918 and was 80 years old. *Marianne Cope was beatified on May 14, 2005 by Pope Benedict XVI. *She was canonized on October 21, 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI. Pope Benedict XVI Why Saint Marianne Cope? Why should we name our tri-parish after Saint Marianne Cope? You all are probably asking yourselves this question. I have an answer. We should name our tri-parish after Saint Marianne Cope for the reasons listed below. *She is a model of kindness, respect, and devotion to God. *She treated everyone fairly no-matter what their background or race was. *Saint Marianne was the first Franciscan women from North America to be canonized and the eleventh American saint. *She devoted more than thirty-five years to helping others. *Saint Marianne is the perfect name for our tri-parish and will be a role model for generations to come.

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • Pope Addresses Vatican Reforms Aimed at Curbing Corruption, Abuse
    Pope addresses Vatican reforms aimed at curbing corruption, abuse VATICAN CITY (CNS) — While financial reforms in the Vatican are progressing steadily, cases involving corruption and malfeasance in the Eternal City are “a disease that we relapse into,” Pope Francis said. In a wide-ranging interview broadcast Sept. 1 by COPE, the Spanish radio station owned by the Spanish bishops’ conference, Pope Francis said changes made in the Vatican’s financial laws have allowed prosecutors to “become more independent” in their investigations. “Let’s hope that these steps we are taking … will help to make these events happen less and less,” he said. During the interview, the pope was asked about the Vatican trial against 10 individuals and entities, including Cardinal Angelo Becciu, former prefect of the Congregation for Saints’ Causes, on charges ranging from embezzlement to money laundering and abuse of office. The charges stemmed from a Vatican investigation into how the Secretariat of State used $200 million to finance a property development project in London’s posh Chelsea district and incurred millions of dollars in debt. At the time, then- Archbishop Becciu served as “sostituto,” the No. 3 position in the Vatican Secretariat of State. Cardinal Becciu was forced to offer his resignation to the pope in September 2020, after he was accused of embezzling an estimated 100,000 euros of Vatican funds and redirecting them to Spes, a Caritas organization run by his brother, Tonino Becciu, in his home Diocese of Ozieri, Sardinia. The pope told COPE he authorized the Vatican’s investigation into the property deal as a sign that he was “not afraid of transparency or the truth.” “Sometimes it hurts a lot, but the truth is what sets us free,” he said.

  • Kalawao County
    OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS RESEARCH DIVISION Kalawao County Moloka‘i, Hawaiÿi The land inclines sharply to the lofty mountains and the nearly mile-high summit of Mount Kamakou, then ends abruptly with emerald-green cliffs, which plunge into a lurid aquamarine sea dotted with tiny deserted islets. These breathtaking 3,250-foot sea cliffs, the highest in the world, stretch 14 majestic miles … laced by waterfalls and creased by five pristine valleys … once occupied by early Hawaiians who built stone terraces and used waterfalls to irrigate taro patches. Long after the sea cliffs formed, a tiny volcano erupted out of the sea at their feet and spread lava into a flat, leaf-like peninsula. (Foster, 2004, p. 460). Kalaupapa Peninsula. Courtesy of National Park Service (NPS/Image). This narrative extolls the natural beauty of an ‘äina of kaÿawale (land of isolation). Yet in the course of history, because of this isolation, it also became known as the ‘äina of kaumaha nohoi (deep sorrow) and pilikia (misery, hardship, and suffering), ka luakupapaÿu kanu ola (the grave of living corpses or a living tomb), ‘aÿole känäwai ma këia wahi (a place where there is no law), and a “prison fortified by nature” (Inglis, 2004; Frazier, 1987; Stevenson, 1991).

  • Deconsecration Rites of Roman Catholic Church Buildings
    religions Article Ritual Void or Ritual Muddle? Deconsecration Rites of Roman Catholic Church Buildings Kim de Wildt Transformation of Sacred Space: Function and Use of Religious Places in Germany (FOR 2733), University of Bonn, 53113 Bonn, Germany; [email protected] Received: 29 August 2020; Accepted: 6 October 2020; Published: 10 October 2020 Abstract: The decrease in people who regularly celebrate liturgy in western Europe has led to the question of what to do with so-called obsolete church buildings. This question not only refers to whether or not a church building will be converted, reused or demolished, but also to the question of whether or not such a building needs to be deconsecrated, and if so, what does deconsecration of a church building actually entail? In this contribution, I will consider the role deconsecration rites play in the Roman Catholic church when a church building is taken out of liturgical use. In Roman Catholic liturgy, there are no prescribed, official deconsecration rites that are mandatory for a church building that is to be taken out of liturgical use. The actual deconsecration of a church building is, according to canon law, established by a decree that is issued by the responsible diocesan bishop. In the case of a church being taken out of liturgical use, however, there seems to be a shift from having a ritual void with regard to deconsecration rites, and also a focus on the “legitimate” way (in the sense of canon law) to deconsecrate a church building (object orientation), towards, in recent decades, paying more attention to a growing pastoral need (subject orientation) for deconsecration rites.
