    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2013): 6.14 | Impact Factor (2015): 6.391 Foreign Influences Designing Albanian Schools Architecture Ledita Mezini Lecturer at Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, Polytechnic University of Tirana, Albania Abstract: Throughout history, Albania was a battlefield of several wars, assaulted from other countries and always struggling to survive and preserveits traditions, language and culture. Invasions happened through guns and battles but also through the extent of foreign languages and culture ineducation. The education sector and structures that hosted it, passed through stages of transformations, developments and regressions dependent on the course of history and the forces of foreign countries shaping it. The main objective of this research is to highlight the Albanian school buildings through two parallel points of view: an outlookthrough the course of history and analyzed as structures. This article tries to explore the changes that occurred in educational buildings in Albania.Itfocuses on the influences, problems and issues that have emerged, during the several invasions and how these influences have affected the architecture of Albanian’s schools. This analysis is followed by a discussion of the architecture’s development and the typology, standards, structures and shapes of this category of buildings focusing mostly on the last century, trying to fill the gap of history and knowledge for this important group of edifices. Keywords: Albania, school architecture, transformation of buildings, history, educational structures. 1. Introduction and the edifices that support it, suffered the course of history, transformed and shaped by these political and social “The physical and typological changes in school‟s events.

    Faith Formation Handbook Blessed Sacrament Parish Community 3109 Swede Ave, Midland MI 48642-3842 (989) 835-6777, Fax (989) 835-2451 September 7, 2019 Dear People of God, Soon we will be starting this year’s faith formation programs. The opportunity to learn about our relationship with God is an amazing gift. I cannot think of another thing that not only impacts our lives now but will also echo for all eternity. I am personally excited to be walking this journey with you and your families. As you may already know…our focus is on truly being TEAM CATHOLIC. Being the part of any team requires cooperation and a common goal. Our goal is to do our part to help bring about the kingdom of God. We do just that whenever we take the gifts that God gives us and share them freely with one another. Allow me a quick sports analogy. In the late 1980’s Steve Yzerman was a perennial top scorer in the National Hockey League. In spite of that, the Red Wings couldn’t win in the playoffs. That was until their coach asked Yzerman to change his playing style. This change, while costing him individual statistics, would turn him into a defensive superstar and transform the Red Wings into Stanley Cup Champs. As a member of TEAM CATHOLIC it isn’t about individual accolades but is about the team. We want all people to know that they are valued and that they are part of this diverse and sometimes quirky family we call the Church.

  • Lonergan on the Catholic University Richard M Liddy, Seton Hall University
    Seton Hall University From the SelectedWorks of Richard M Liddy October, 1989 Lonergan on the Catholic University Richard M Liddy, Seton Hall University Available at: https://works.bepress.com/richard_liddy/13/ Lonergan on the Catholic University Msgr. Richard M. Liddy Seton Hall University South Orange, NJ A version of this appeared as "Lonergan on the Catholic University," Method: Journal of Lonergan Studies, vol. 7, no. 2 (October 1989), 116 - 131. LONERGAN ON THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY Msgr. Richard M. Liddy In 1951 Bernard Lonergan wrote an article entitled "The Role of a Catholic University in the Modern World." Originally published in French, it can be found in Lonergan's Collection.1 Published at the same time he was working on his magnum opus, Insight, it reflects the basic thrust of that major work. Some years later, in 1959, in a series of lectures in Cincinnati on the philosophy of education Lonergan touched again upon the subject of the Catholic university.2 Here he adverted to the fact that of its very nature the whole immense Catholic school system is rooted in a "supernaturalist vision" that is in conflict with the dominant philosophies of education of modern times. The fact is that we have a Catholic educational system, with primary schools, high schools, colleges and universities. That is the concrete fact and it exists because it is Catholic.3 What Lonergan finds lacking is a philosophical vision capable of defending the existence of the Catholic school system. Educational theorists tend to be divided into "modernists" whose appeal is to human experience and scientific verification and "traditionalists" who appeal to immutable truths transcending scientific verification.

  • " a Great and Lasting Beginning": Bishop John Mcmullen's
    22 Catholic Education/June 2005 ARTICLES “A GREAT AND LASTING BEGINNING”: BISHOP JOHN MCMULLEN’S EDUCATIONAL VISION AND THE FOUNDING OF ST. AMBROSE UNIVERSITY GEORGE W. MCDANIEL St. Ambrose University Catholic education surfaces as a focus and concern in every age of the U.S. Catholic experience. This article examines the struggles in one, small Midwestern diocese surrounding the establishment and advancement of Catholic education. Personal rivalries, relationship with Rome, local politics, finances, responding to broader social challenges, and the leadership of cler- gy were prominent themes then, as they are now. Numerous historical insights detailed here help to explain the abiding liberal character of Catholicism in the Midwestern United States. n the spring of 1882, Bishop John McMullen, who had been in the new IDiocese of Davenport for about 6 months, met with Father Henry Cosgrove, the pastor of St. Marguerite’s (later Sacred Heart) Cathedral. “Where shall we find a place to give a beginning to a college?” McMullen asked. Cosgrove’s response was immediate: “Bishop, I will give you two rooms in my school building.” “All right,” McMullen said, “let us start at once” (The Davenport Democrat, 1904; Farrell, 1982, p. iii; McGovern, 1888, p. 256; Schmidt, 1981, p. 111). McMullen’s desire to found a university was not as impetuous as it may have seemed. Like many American Catholic leaders in the 19th century, McMullen viewed education as a way for a growing immigrant Catholic population to advance in their new country. Catholic education would also serve as a bulwark against the encroachment of Protestant ideas that formed the foundation of public education in the United States.

Herrick, B.S., M.S.E. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2011 ABSTRACT THE CHALLENGE AND PROMISE OF CATHOLIC HIGHER EDUCATION: THE LAY PRESIDENT AND CATHOLIC IDENTITY Kathy A. Herrick, B.S., M.S.E. Marquette University, 2011 Twenty years after Ex Corde Ecclesiae, the papal proclamation that defined the relationship between the Catholic Church and Catholic institutions of higher education, these institutions continue to seek ways to strengthen their Catholic identities. As they do so they are faced with a declining number of religiously vowed men and women available to lead them. An institution‘s history is often linked to the mission of its founding congregation. As members of the congregation become less actively involved, the connection of the institution‘s mission to the founding congregation and their particular charism is likely to be less visibly evident. Additionally, the role of the American university president today is viewed by many to be an almost impossible job.

Yocum This dissertation considers a spectrum of five distinct approaches that mid-twentieth century neo-Thomist Catholic thinkers utilized when engaging with the tradition of modern scientific psychology: a critical approach, a reformulation approach, a synthetic approach, a particular [Jungian] approach, and a personalist approach. This work argues that mid-twentieth century neo-Thomists were essentially united in their concerns about the metaphysical principles of many modern psychologists as well as in their worries that these same modern psychologists had a tendency to overlook the transcendent dimension of human existence. This work shows that the first four neo-Thomist thinkers failed to bring the traditions of neo-Thomism and modern psychology together to the extent that they suggested purely theoretical ways of reconciling them.
