History New York State Catholic Conference A HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK STATE CATHOLIC CONFERENCE 1916 – 1968 Spring 2007 A HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK STATE CATHOLIC CONFERENCE 1916 – 1968 P R E F A C E In recent years, more attention has been given to a well-kept secret within the Catholic Church and society more generally – the important role played by State Catholic Conferences of Bishops in influencing public policy in this country. While a common perception among those aware of the existence of State Catholic Conferences is that the major focus of the activity of the Catholic Conferences has been on abortion and other life issues, this perception distorts the picture of actual State Catholic Conference activities. While there has been appropriate attention to life issues, State Catholic Conferences have also focused on a variety of issues relating to an important principle of Catholic Social Teaching – the preferential option for the poor. State Catholic Conferences have had significant input on public policy debates on such issues as welfare-to-work programs, access to health care, immigration legislation, criminal justice reform and the like. As the first State Catholic Conference organized in the United States, the New York State Catholic Conference has played a pivotal role, not only in its considerable influence in the evolution of public policy in New York State, but also in serving as a model for the creation of other State Catholic Conferences in the country. This volume is the first in a series of documents chronicling the history of the New York State Catholic Conference. This volume describes the public policy advocacy activities of the Catholic Church in the state from its first organized activities in 1916 until the state Bishops formally created a State Catholic Conference in 1968. As government and public policy decisions became more complex, the New York State Catholic Conference established various constituent groups to focus on particular specialized areas, and the history of the Conference since 1968 is told through description of the work of these constituent groups. Already written are histories of these constituent groups: • A History of the State Council of Catholic Charities Directors 1966-2006 • A History of the Catholic Church and Health Care Public Policy in New York State 1924-2004 • A History of the Advisory Committees to the State Catholic Conference Public Policy Committee 1973-2004 Also in the development stage are histories of the State Council of Catholic School Superintendents and of the State Council of Human Life Coordinators. In writing this volume, I wish to acknowledge and express gratitude to the following three authors. For almost all of the content in the contemplated six volumes in this series, I have relied on the internal files of the State Catholic Conference. A History of the NYS Catholic Conference Preface For this work, particularly in the introduction which traces the evolution of public welfare in New York State, I have relied heavily on two books: • A two volume History of Public Welfare in New York State 1609-1940 , written by David Schneider and Alfred Deutsch • The Poor Belong to us: Catholic Charities and American Welfare , written by Georgetown Professors Dorothy M. Brown and Elizabeth McKeown For the conclusion, relating to the formal establishment of State Catholic Conferences in the late 1960’s, I have borrowed from the work of David Yamani, who in 2005 wrote The Catholic Church in State Politics: Negotiating Prophetic Demands and Political Realities . As with each of the volumes written to date, I express profound thanks to three persons without whom this work would not have been possible: Walter Wojtowicz and Earl Eichelberger from the New York State Catholic Conference, and JoAnn Anderson, my incomparable Administrative Assistant.

  • Parish Apostolate: New Opportunities in the Local Church
    IV. PARISH APOSTOLATE: NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN THE LOCAL CHURCH by John E. Rybolt, C.M. Beginning with the original contract establishing the Community, 17 April 1625, Vincentians have worked in parishes. At fIrst they merely assisted diocesan pastors, but with the foundation at Toul in 1635, the fIrst outside of Paris, they assumed local pastorates. Saint Vincent himself had been the pastor of Clichy-Ia-Garenne near Paris (1612-1625), and briefly (1617) of Buenans and Chatillon­ les-Dombes in the diocese of Lyons. Later, as superior general, he accepted eight parish foundations for his community. He did so with some misgiving, however, fearing the abandonment of the country poor. A letter of 1653 presents at least part of his outlook: ., .parishes are not our affair. We have very few, as you know, and those that we have have been given to us against our will, or by our founders or by their lordships the bishops, whom we cannot refuse in order not to be on bad terms with them, and perhaps the one in Brial is the last that we will ever accept, because the further along we go, the more we fmd ourselves embarrassed by such matters. l In the same spirit, the early assemblies of the Community insisted that parishes formed an exception to its usual works. The assembly of 1724 states what other Vincentian documents often said: Parishes should not ordinarily be accepted, but they may be accepted on the rare occasions when the superior general .. , [and] his consul­ tors judge it expedient in the Lord.2 229 Beginnings to 1830 The founding document of the Community's mission in the United States signed by Bishop Louis Dubourg, Fathers Domenico Sicardi and Felix De Andreis, spells out their attitude toward parishes in the new world, an attitude differing in some respects from that of the 1724 assembly.

  • Archives Secretes Du Vatican, Delegation
    Archives Secrètes du Vatican Archivio della Delegazione apostolica negli Stati Uniti (Archives de la Délégation apostolique aux Etats-Unis), 1893-1922 [Arch. Deleg. Stati Uniti] Introduction Créée en 1893, la Délégation Apostolique des États-Unis (DAEU) est plus ancienne que celle du Canada. Sa correspondance a été donnée a l’Archivio Segreto Vaticano en 1979 et elle constitue un fonds énorme, composé de 15.000 liasses réparties dans 931 boîtes. Le fonds est divisé en vingt- deux sections, numérotées en chiffres romaines, dont plusieurs nous intéressent I (Délégation Apostolique), II (États-Unis), IV (Listes épiscopales), V (Affaires étrangères), VI (Canada), IX (Diocèses), X (Divers), XVIII (Ruthènes). Ces sections n’ont pas été parfaitement classées, mais les documents relatifs au Canada pour la période 1893-1922 sont disponibles. Les liasses de la Délégation comprennent des lettres envoyées ou reçues par le délégué apostolique et ses secrétaires; s’y trouvent aussi des coupures de journaux ou d’autres documents. Le fonds est très facile à consulter grâce a un inventaire (Index 1168, malheureusement incomplet) préparé par M. Claudio De Dominicis déjà de l’Archivio Segreto Vaticano. Plusieurs liasses concernent l’histoire de l’Église catholique au Canada, en particulier les relations entre les évêques de langue française et de langue anglaise: c’est le cas de la liasse 189 de la section II relative à la lettre de Benoît XV aux évêques canadiens sur le nationalisme. Toutefois, la plupart des dossiers pouvant intéresser les chercheurs et les chercheuses du Canada ont trait à la protection des communautés immigrés d’origine québécoise ou acadienne.

  • Archbishop John J. Williams
    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.
