  • HISTORY of the NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE for GIRL SCOUTS and CAMP FIRE by Virginia Reed
    Revised 3/11/2019 HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE FOR GIRL SCOUTS AND CAMP FIRE By Virginia Reed The present National Catholic Committee for Girl Scouts and Camp Fire dates back to the early days of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and the National Catholic Welfare Conference. Although it has functioned in various capacities and under several different names, this committee's purpose has remained the same: to minister to the Catholic girls in Girl Scouts (at first) and Camp Fire (since 1973). Beginnings The relationship between Girl Scouting and Catholic youth ministry is the result of the foresight of Juliette Gordon Low. Soon after founding the Girl Scout movement in 1912, Low traveled to Baltimore to meet James Cardinal Gibbons and consult with him about her project. Five years later, Joseph Patrick Cardinal Hayes of New York appointed a representative to the Girl Scout National Board of Directors. The cardinal wanted to determine whether the Girl Scout program, which was so fine in theory, was equally sound in practice. Satisfied on this point, His Eminence publicly declared the program suitable for Catholic girls. In due course, the four U.S. Cardinals and the U.S. Catholic hierarchy followed suit. In the early 1920's, Girl Scout troops were formed in parochial schools and Catholic women eagerly became leaders in the program. When CYO was established in the early 1930's, Girl Scouting became its ally as a separate cooperative enterprise. In 1936, sociologist Father Edward Roberts Moore of Catholic charities, Archdiocese of New York, studied and approved the Girl Scout program because it was fitting for girls to beome "participating citizens in a modern, social democracy." This support further enhanced the relationship between the Catholic church and Girl Scouting.

The contest allowed students to is Born! portray an interpretation of the birth of Jesus Christ as seen through their eyes. Four winners were selected from contest entries among four age categories. The illustration at the bottom is by Annie St. Denis, a senior at Lancaster Catholic High School, and the illustration at the top is by Abigail Sell, an eighth-grader at Annunciation BVM School in McSherrystown. The other two winning images were featured on the cover of the December 9 edition of The Catholic Witness. The four winning pieces will be used as illustrations on Bishop Gainer’s Christmas cards this year. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone. You have brought them abundant joy and great rejoicing, as they rejoice before you as at the harvest, as people make merry when dividing spoils. For the yoke that burdened them, the pole on their shoulder, and the rod of their taskmaster you have smashed, as on the day of Midian. For every boot that tramped in battle, every cloak rolled in blood, will be burned as fuel for flames. For a child is born to us, a son is given us; upon his shoulder dominion rests.

In his typical, dignified way, Will told me that he comes to Face to Face for fellowship. Will has utilized most of our services for adults – meals, health care, social, legal services and art. Will’s answer reflected what I routinely tell people about Face to Face. Namely, that it is not so much WHAT we do, but the WAY we do it that draws people to Face to Face. Face to Face offers an array of complementary services, but with a unique approach. Each guest is welcomed with a smile and most are known by name. Staff, volunteers and guests all contribute to creating this warm and dignified atmosphere. We strive to care for the whole person. This year, the collaboration among programs is more efficient and effective. If a client comes to our social services office with a particular need, and in the course of the session it becomes apparent that there is an underlying legal or health issue, the client is referred to one of our other services. Volunteers in the Dining Room engage in conversations with guests and often help steer them to one or another service.

INTRODUCTION The aim of this sketch is to present some facts about the planting and growth of Catholicit}^ in Pottstown. The treatment is necessarily from a layman's point of view. Much more could be said about the leaders of the people. The clergy, on account of their high position, are better known than the laity, and information relating to the priests can be obtained elsewhere by those who wish, but there is danger of losing all record of the rank and file of the faithful unless they are remembered in a book like this. How much does the present generation know about the early congregation? W'^hen the ones that were acquainted with those early Catholics are, in the course of natural events, removed from this earth, it is to be hoped that in these pages will be found some memorials of those people who laid the foundation of the blessings we now enjoy. This book is not a complete history. It contains merely some of the raw material which may recall to the older parishioners other facts relating to the past.

  • History of St. Patrick Parish It Is Quite Difficult, Almost Impossible, to Get Accurate Records of the Early History of the Catholic Church in York
    History of St. Patrick Parish It is quite difficult, almost impossible, to get accurate records of the early history of the Catholic Church in York. There is evidence, however, that Catholics were among the first to settle in our City. Thus, for instance, during the French and Indian War, the Pennsylvania authorities were suspicious that the Catholics of the Missions might be favorable to the French, and General Louden, Commander of the British Army, ordered, April 28, 1757, an examination of the Catholics in York and Cumberland Counties. The report showed that there were 116 German and 76 Irish Catholics in York County, under the care of the Rev. Father Manners, and that these were loyal to the Colonial Government. Additional evidence is found in the following decidedly Irish names affixed to the petition from the citizens of York County appealing to the Governor for aid against the attacks of the Indians subsequent to the defeat of the provincial forces at McCord's Fort, April 2, 1756: James Murphy, William McCleary, William Carney, Andrew Shannon, James Cranahan, John Murphy. William Carroll. Among those killed in Captain Hamilton's Company of 'York County, in an attack on the Indians at Sidling's Hill, are two Irish names, John McCarty and John Kelly (Notes on the History of the Catholics in York County: Miss Gamble.) Irish names also appear on the rosters of the York County Companies which saw service in the Revolutionary War. At the outbreak of the War of independence Patrick McSherry, a Catholic, was elected to the Committee of Safety for York; only those interested in protecting the rights of the Colonies were chosen.
