Interpreting the will of the Founder, Father Giuseppe Molinari, Rector of the Mother House, wrote to Fa- ther Francesco Zaboglio, Vicar General, then in the United States as visitator: “His Excellency the Bishop directs that you do all in your power to assign religious with perpetual vows together; should it be necessary, - he says - make changes, transfer the personnel.”1 Bishop Scalabrini wanted to start this work of transformation by joining the missionaries with perpetual vows together in the same houses so to form actual communities that by living the religious life in its integrity could become a model for all missions. Father Zaboglio, who was in the field struggling with difficult problems of personnel, could not comply with the desires of the Founder. Father Molinari still insisted for some time: “I regret that circumstances made it necessary to separate the last Missionaries. It is my hope it may not happen again! I understand the present situation. As soon as you can, form a house of Missionaries with perpetual vows. Only God knows my love for the Congregation! I wish a model community be established in America, if only it were possible. Then, my dear Father, it could indeed exert an influence on all others! This way we would gain greater prestige, and be in a posi- tion to do much more good for souls.”2 Due to the needs of each mission, there was no choice but to con- tinue on the same system; rather, on account of the frightful shortage of personnel as compared with the ever more desperate appeals of 1 Letter G. Molinari to Fr. Zaboglio, Piacenza, Sept. 23, 1895 (Arch. G.S., 541/9). 2 Molinari to Zaboglio, Piacenza, Nov. 7, 1895 (Arch. G.S., 541/9). 9 GENERAL ADMINISTRATION 1896 – 1905 Father Zaboglio, Bishop Scalabrini allowed the practice to continue of accepting also priests who intended to commit themselves only on a temporary basis; still, even through these easy procedures it was not possible to satisfy the requests pouring in from the missions. Father Molinari, who was even stricter than Bishop Scalabrini, wrote as follows on the matter in May and September 1896: “If priests would only join, Bishop Scalabrini would have no objection to admit them for a ‘time’; but where can we find them? Someone applied; but we received afterwards certain information warning us that it is better to let such individuals get lost than to look for them. There was some priest who seemed willing to join; thinking that the perpetual vows were detaining him from a decision, I let him know he would be accepted also ‘for a time’. However, when the time came for a decision, he still remained undecided.”3 “The Fathers complain about the perpetual vows; let them know, however, that the proposal presented by you that when priests are concerned they be allowed to take the vows ‘for a time’ has been ac- cepted; I have made use of it already. I promised the priest from Mez- zana Casati to arrange that he be permitted to take the vows only for one year, just to be able to inform the Bishop of his assignment that he has vows. Yet, still many hesitations, difficulties.... I did the same with others, but.... nothing else we can do but ‘pray to the Lord of the harvest to send workers…’”4 Such difficulties explain, in part at least, the delay of Bishop Scal- abrini in presenting to the Holy See the report it had requested since 1898 on his Institute, when he had applied for the approval of the Rules of 1895 which had introduced the perpetual vows. We shall carry the document in its entirety because it offers us an overall vision of the first thirteen years of the history of the Scalabrin- ian Congregation and sets clear the situation as it was in 1900 before Bishop Scalabrini was to take his trips to America to see for himself the conditions of the missions, in view of drawing final decisions. We call attention to the fact that in sending this report to the Sec- retary of the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the faith on August 10, 1900, Bishop Scalabrini was actually pointing out: 3 Molinari to Zaboglio, Piacenza, May 28, 1896 (Arch.

Giulio Carlo Argan for the first time offered what has since become perhaps the prevalent interpretation of Ba roque art. base d on the classical tradition of rhetoric'. The primary source book on the subject. Arist0tle's treatise on rhetoric. became available in Italian translation in 1570. The wide influence of Argan ·s essay was very salubrious. suggesting as it did that Baroque style. often regarded as a decadent superabundance of ornament and conceit. could better be under­ stood positively as a deliberate and sophisticated technique of persuasion. T he second paper. published by RudolfWiukower in 1963, compared the use ofanciem models by Poussin. the arch classicist of France. and Bernini, the outstanding representative of Italian Baroque 2 exuberance . With great perspicuity Wittkower showed from preparatory studies how classical sources functioned in diametrically opposite ways in the development of their works. Poussin would typicall y start with a dynamic. ··Baroque" design. into which ancient models would then intervene to produce a restrained. classicizing final version: Bernini. on the other hand. would often start with a classical prototype. which he would then transform into a free and volatile ·'Baroque'· solution.

He sought, through 1 The author acknowledges the support of the Social Science and Humani- ties Research Council for the research reported here. A special thanks is offered to Professors Roberto Perin, York University, and Matteo Sanfilippo, University of Viterbo, Italy, as well as the anonymous reviewers for their assistance in strengthening the paper. 2 Falconio arrived in Ottawa on 2 August 1899 and left for a posting in Washington in 1902. Falconio was a religious priest – a member of the Franciscan community. An Italian by birth, Falconio spent most of his religious life in North America. He was ordained to the priesthood in Buffalo, New York. He served as a parish priest, educator, and ecclesiastic administrator in the United States and Newfoundland, spending time as President of St. Bonave- nture’s College, Allegheny, NY, and working in the Diocese of Harbour Grace with Bishop Enrico Carfaganni. As Apostolic Delegate, Falconio was the Vatican’s Representative to Canada. He was both an observer of and a participant in the relations between Church and State. During Falconio’s three year tenure, his observations focused on the Manitoba Schools Question, immigration issues focusing on serving the needs of Ukrainian Catholics, religious and cultural issues centering on the Acadians, French-English tensions in Ottawa where he resided, and internal communication between the rank and file clerics and the episcopate.

  • Missionary Sisters of Saint Charles Borromeo - Scalabrinians

    Missionary Sisters of Saint Charles Borromeo - Scalabrinians

    In this first volume of the history of the Missionary Sisters of Saint Charles – Scalabrinians that covers the period of 1895 – 1934, Sister Lice Maria Signor dedicates herself patiently in giving an attractive and documented form, the historical path of the MSCS Congregation and does it under diverse aspects: social, economic, political, cultural, ecclesial and religious. It is evidenced her determination in looking at the elements to construct our history and to show how the existence of the MSCS Sisters Congregation, is a historic/missionary path of evangelic service to the migrants, that become the incarnation of the words of Jesus Christ: “I was a stranger and you welcomed me” (Mt. 25,35). “Seeds emigrate on the wings of the wind, plants emigrate from continent to continent, carried by the water currents, birds and animals emigrate, but more than all, man emigrates, now in a collective form, now in an isolated form but always an instrument of that Providence that presides over the destiny of humans and guides them, also by catastrophes, for the final goal, that of perfectioning man over the land and the glory of God in the heavens” (Scalabrini).

To be aware of our own situation, I would like to compare present data of our own Congregation with the data presented in June 30, 1964, at the X General Chapter. More or less we are still in the same situation, the same number shown 45 years ago. There is a noteworthy difference regarding the average age of the perpetual confreres that I do not want to mention here in order not to be put ourselves into a situation of discouragement..
