(continued on page 3) Over the years, the Sisters prepared Bahamians for leadership positions, including Archbishop Pinder and Alfred Sears, the Attorney General and Minister of Education seen here with Sr. Dorothy Metz.

Thirty years later, there were 62 Sisters in New York and they faced a momentous decision: whether to remain in New York taking care of orphan boys or to return to Emmitsburg. The choice to stay would involve separation from their community and founding a new one in New York. It was a heart-rending decision. Thirty-three Sisters, moved by their ministry to the orphans, decided to form a new Community. It is not surprising that these Sisters placed the care of the orphans before their strong ties with each other. It was about the ministry, about meeting unmet needs. In 1889, at the request of Archbishop Michael Corrigan of New York, five Sisters went to Nassau in The Bahamas. Three days after their arrival they opened a free school for poor children in two rooms of the convent. When they heard how great the need was, more Sisters volunteered to go. With very few resources, they continued to open schools and clinics, to visit the sick, the dying, women in prison, and the lepers. On January 4, 2007, the Feast of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Archbishop Patrick Pinder of The Bahamas celebrated a special liturgy at St. Francis Xavier Cathedral in thanksgiving for the ministry of the Sisters of Charity of New York in his island country. (He is one of the many Bahamians who were taught by our Sisters.) I was privileged to attend. After the Mass, a plaque, inscribed with the names of the 212 Sisters who served there, was unveiled on the out- side wall of the Cathedral. It was a great honor for me to hear so many people express gratitude for the work of our Congregation. The article in The Nassau Tribune expressed it so well: “The Sisters prepared the Bahamian people for the day when they would be in charge of their own destiny – and so the torch has passed. Their mission has been accomplished.” It has always been about the ministry, about meeting unmet needs. Sincerely in Christ, Sr. Dorothy Metz, SC President Vision enables the Sisters of Charity of New York to make a cohesive statement about how they reveal God’s love in their lives and the many and varied ways in which they respond to the signs of the times.

    Record Group I.06.01 John Joseph Williams Papers, 1852-1907 Introduction & Index Archives, Archdiocese of Boston Introduction Biographical Sketch Scope and Content Content List (A-Z) Subject Index Introduction The John Joseph Williams papers held by the Archives of the Archdiocese of Boston span the years 1852-1907. The collection consists of original letters and documents from the year that Williams was assigned to what was to become St. Joseph’s parish in the West End of Boston until his death 55 years later. The papers number approximately 815 items and are contained in 282 folders arranged alphabetically by correspondent in five manuscript boxes. It is probable that the Williams papers were first put into some kind of order in the Archives in the 1930s when Fathers Robert h. Lord, John E. Sexton, and Edward T. Harrington were researching and writing their History of the Archdiocese of Boston, 1604-1943. At this time the original manuscripts held by the Archdiocese were placed individually in folders and arranged chronologically in file cabinets. One cabinet contained original material and another held typescripts, photostats, and other copies of documents held by other Archives that were gathered as part of the research effort. The outside of each folder noted the author and the recipient of the letter. In addition, several letters were sound in another section of the Archives. It is apparent that these letters were placed in the Archives after Lord, Sexton, and Harrington had completed their initial arrangement of manuscripts relating to the history of the Archdiocese of Boston. In preparing this collection of the original Williams material, a calendar was produced.

I was intrigued to find that many of the first baptisms were performed by Jesuit priests with French names: Jouin, Daubresse, Doucet, Bienvenue. The pastor was Irish, Fr. John Ryan, which was expected in a congregation that was almost all Irish. But why were French priests here? The short answer is that they were from St. John's College (now Fordham University) and they were mostly French because Archbishop Hughes wanted Jesuits from the Province of France not the American Province to teach at St.

Although He S is God (together with the Father and the Holy Spirit), He became a man—or, as we often put it, He became incarnate —enfleshed. Mankind, at its very beginning in Adam and Eve, had fallen away from Divine life by embracing sin, and had fallen under the power of death. But the Lord Jesus, by His incarnation, death upon the Cross, and subsequent resurrection from death on the third day, destroyed the power death had over men. By His teaching and His whole saving work, Christ reconciled to God a humanity that had grown distant from God1 and had become ensnared in sins.2 He abolished the authority the Devil had acquired over men3 and He renewed and re-created both mankind and His whole universe.4 Bridging the abyss separating man and God, by means of the union of man and God in His own Person, Christ our Saviour opened the way to eternal, joyful life after death for all who would accept it.5 Not all the people of Judea, the Hebrews, God’s chosen people (Deut 7:6; Is 44:1), were ready to hear this news, and so our Lord spoke to them mostly in parables and figures.

One and a half centuries later, at a time when the Christian Church had become victorious within the Roman Empire, God deigned that Euphemia the All- Praised should again be a witness and confessor of the purity of the Orthodox teaching. In the year 451 in the city of Chalcedon, in the very church where the glorified relics of the holy Great Martyr Euphemia rested, the sessions of the Fourth Ecumenical Council (July 16) took place. The Council was convened for determining the precise dogmatic formulae of the Orthodox Church concerning the nature of the God-Man Jesus Christ. This was necessary because of the widespread heresy of the Monophysites [“mono-physis” meaning “one nature”], who opposed the Orthodox teaching of the two natures in Jesus Christ, the Divine and the Human natures (in one Divine Person).
