All of the dioceses which make up the province are experiencing a record amount of growth, said Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory of the Archdiocese of Atlanta. In this regard, the Church in the Carolinas and Georgia is experiencing the exact opposite of some northern dioceses, where the number of people in the pews is declining in many areas, and parishes and schools are being closed or forced to consolidate. In an interview with The Catholic Miscellany, Archbishop Gregory said that the leaders realized the scope of growth in the province while tour- ing the Diocese of Charleston’s new Pastoral Center, which opened in 2016. “We realized that all five of the dio- ceses represented here have recent- ly opened new chancery offices,” Archbishop Gregory said. “We are all in a growth mode.

  • Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Catholic School 2018 Blue Ribbon For
    TWENTY SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME . RESPECT LIFE SUNDAY Our heartfelt congratulations to Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Catholic School named as a 2018 Blue Ribbon for Academic Excellence Award Winner by the United States Department of Education Page Two TWENTY SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME . RESPECT LIFE SUNDAY October 7, 2018 Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Catholic School is proud to be recognized for a second time as a NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL 2008 and 2018 In 2008, when Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Catholic School first became eligible to apply for Blue Ribbon status, we were honored and proud to be named a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the United States Department of Education. It is with great pride that we share the news that Cardinal Bernardin School — your parish school — received their second recognition in September 2018, as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. To receive the award once is a distinguished achievement. To receive the designation twice is an honor very few schools will ever achieve. This award, which recognizes our students’ achievement through their hard work and dedication, would not have been possible without the exemplary efforts of our exceptional teaching and support staff, the engagement of our dedicated and supportive parents, and of course, the long-standing commitment of the pastors of our four sponsoring parishes. Additionally and importantly, CJB school wants to thank the parish staff and the parishioner families of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Elizabeth Seton, St. Julie Billiart, and St. Stephen Deacon and Martyr for their prayers, support and encouragement over the years.

JOHN THE EVANGELIST 11 4th Avenue SW • Rochester, MN 55902 Dear Friends in Christ: Welcome to the Co-Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist. We keep all who are affected in any way by the COVID-19 pandemic in our prayers and we are grateful for the generous and compassionate hearts of all those in our medical community who sacrifice daily to care for us. On Wednesday, March 18, 2020, Bishop John Quinn announced the suspension of all public Masses here in the Diocese of Winona-Rochester through Friday, May 15, 2020. Find his message here: https://www.dowr.org/ alerts.html. The Emergency Declaration for our county and the resulting message from Bishop Quinn speak to our need to be responsible for each other. This calls for severe measures to reduce/limit the consequences of COVID-19. We have an opportunity to learn new ways to share life and accompany one another and we begin by acknowledging the fact that reality is telling us to stop and listen. We are not spared the painful circumstances that people have endured through our salvation history; we are living a challenging crisis and the Lord Jesus proposes Himself. We live this time trusting in the presence of Christ. We have not been abandoned. Please be assured of my prayer for you every day as I recall all of you in celebrating the Eucharist privately.

CONSISTORIA Consistorium Ordinarium Publicum pro novis Cardinalibus creandis. « Gesù camminava davanti a loro ». Questa è l’immagine che ci viene dal Vangelo che abbiamo ascoltato (Mc 10, 32-45), e che fa da sfondo anche all’atto che stiamo compiendo: un Concistoro per la creazione di alcuni nuovi Cardinali. Gesù cammina decisamente verso Gerusalemme. Sa bene che cosa lo attende e ne ha parlato più volte ai suoi discepoli. Ma tra il cuore di Gesù e i cuori dei discepoli c’è una distanza, che solo lo Spirito Santo potrà col- mare. Gesù lo sa; per questo è paziente con loro, parla loro con franchezza, e soprattutto li precede, cammina davanti a loro. Lungo il cammino, i discepoli stessi sono distratti da interessi non coerenti con la “direzione” di Gesù, con la sua volontà che è un tutt’uno con la volontà del Padre. Ad esempio – abbiamo sentito – i due fratelli Giacomo e Giovanni pensano a come sarebbe bello sedere alla destra e alla sinistra del re d’Israele (cfr v. 37). Non guardano la realtà! Credono di vedere e non vedono, di sapere e non sanno, di capire meglio degli altri e non capiscono… La realtà invece è tutt’altra, è quella che Gesù ha presente e che guida i suoi passi. La realtà è la croce, è il peccato del mondo che Lui è venuto a prendere su di sé e sradicare dalla terra degli uomini e delle donne.
