  • MARY JOSEPH ROGERS Mother Mary Joseph Rogers Founded the Maryknoll Sisters, the First American-Based Catholic Foreign Missions Society for Women
    MARY JOSEPH ROGERS Mother Mary Joseph Rogers founded the Maryknoll Sisters, the first American-based Catholic foreign missions society for women. Mary Josephine Rogers, called “Mollie” by her family, was born Oct. 27, 1882, in Roxbury, Massachusetts. After graduating from Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts, she earned her teaching certificate. Mary taught for several years at Smith College, followed by teaching assignments in several public elementary and high schools in the Boston area. Interest in Foreign Missions Mary was deeply impacted by the flourishing Protestant Student Volunteer Movement that was sending missionaries around the world. In 1908, due to her growing interest in missionary work, she began volunteering her time to assist Father James Walsh in writing and editing the Catholic Foreign Missionary Society of America’s magazine Field Afar, now known as Maryknoll. In September 1910 at the International Eucharistic Congress in Montreal, Canada, Mary realized she shared a passion to develop a foreign missions society based in the United States with Father Walsh and Father Thomas Frederick Price. As a result of this common vision, they founded the Maryknoll Mission Movement. Mary provided assistance to the group from Boston where she had family responsibilities before finally joining them in September 1912. She was given the formal name, “Mary Joseph.” She founded a lay group of women interested in missions known as the Teresians, named after the 16th Century Spanish Catholic nun St. Teresa of Avila. In 1913, both the male and female societies moved to Ossining, New York to a farm renamed “Maryknoll.” The pope recognized the work of the Teresians in 1920, allowing the growing society to be designated as a diocesan religious congregation, officially the Foreign Mission Sisters of St.

  • The Catholic Voyage: African Journal of Consecrated Life Vol
    The Catholic Voyage: African Journal of Consecrated Life Vol. 14, 2018. ISSN: 2659-0301 (Online) 1597 6610 (Print) MERCY AND TRUTH SHALL MEET TOGETHER FOR RENEWAL AND FIDELITY IN THE CHURCH: Oseni J. Osilama Ogunu, OMV1 ABSTRACT There has been an increased general interest on the theme of practice of mercy and doctrinal truths taught in the Catholic Church in recent years. Sometimes, the discussion tends to emphasize, or even pit one against the other; or it gives the impression that mercy is a new theme in the Church. This article reflects on the theme of truth and mercy which, to use the biblical expression, will meet together or embrace (Cfr.Ps.85:10). The need for such meeting in the Church life and mission has become more evident in our time many call for renewal (or reform) or for faithfulness in the Church, whether as individuals, communities and structures. The reflection highlights the meaning, value and practice of mercy and truth, drawing elements from the Sacred Scriptures, the Church’s teaching, the writings of Venerable Fr. Pius Bruno Lanteri, and others. It also considers the relationship between mercy and truth, and indicates some of the specific spheres of life, the family life included, where mercy and truth embrace or should meet in action, in reality of life. *** “Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart.” (Proverbs 3:3). INTRODUCTION There is a renewed interest on the themes of mercy and truth in Church today. These matters are explored by theologians and pastors.

  • The Social Doctrine of the Church Today
    “Instaurare omnia in Christo” The Social Doctrine of the Church Today Christ, the King of the Economy Archbishop Lefebvre and Money Interview With Traditional Catholic Businessmen July - August 2016 It is not surprising that the Cross no longer triumphs, because sacrifice no longer triumphs. It is not surprising that men no longer think of anything but raising their standard of living, that they seek only money, riches, pleasures, comfort, and the easy ways of this world. They have lost the sense of sacrifice” (Archbishop Lefebvre, Jubilee Sermon, Nov. 1979). Milan — fresco from San Marco church, Jesus’ teaching on the duty to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God, the things that are God’s. Letter from the Publisher Dear readers, Because he is body and soul, man has basic human needs, like food, drink, clothes, and shelter, which he cannot obtain unless he has basic, minimal possessions. The trouble is that possessions quickly engender love for them; love breeds dependence; and depen- dence is only one step away from slavery. Merely human wisdom, like Virgil’s Aeneid, has stigmatized it as “the sacrilegious hunger for gold.” For the Catholic, the problem of material possessions is compounded with the issue of using the goods as if not using them, of living in the world without being of the world. This is the paradox best defined by Our Lord in the first beatitude: “Blessed be the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Our civilization is fast heading towards decomposition partly for not understanding these basic truths.
