While we address the leaders of our state, our legislators, our Governor and other elected officials, we also speak to all people of good will in presenting both our moral and practical reservations over the issue of capital punishment. We do not, however, speak alone. We note that in our congregations, our parishes, our synagogues and throughout our communities increasing numbers of Texans are beginning to question the wisdom, efficacy and virtue of the death penalty as a means to confront crime and achieve justice. We join with many Texans in questioning our state’s death penalty system, which has consistently been shown to be unfair and inaccurate. Texas leads the nation in the number of executions carried out each year. In fact, our state is a significant outlier in this regard, accounting for more than one third of all executions nationwide since 1976.

  • Father Hy Nguyen, PSS, Appointed Rector of Assumption Seminary
    Archdiocese of San Antonio Department of Communication Father Hy Nguyen, PSS, appointed Rector of Assumption Seminary The Society of St. Sulpice and the Archdiocese of San Antonio have announced the appointment of Father Hy Nguyen, PSS, as Rector of Assumption Seminary, beginning July 1. This follows the resignation of Father Jaime Robledo, PSS, due to health issues. Father Robledo has been granted a one-year medical leave by the Sulpician Provincial Council. “We want to acknowledge the good work that Father Robledo did this past year,” stated Very Rev. John Kemper, PSS, Provincial Superior. “He made a great contribution to Assumption Seminary by giving a structure and framework to the formation process.” The new Rector, Father Hy, is currently serving as Vice-Rector, Dean of Men, and Director of Extern Spiritual Directors at Theology College at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. However, he is no stranger to Assumption Seminary. He served there for three years, from 2012 to 2014, as faculty mentor and Dean of Men as well as Adjunct Professor of Systematic Theology at Oblate School of Theology. A native of Danang, Vietnam, Father Hy has been a member of the Society of St. Sulpice since 2000, and was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Oakland, California on June 14, 1997. He received an M. Div. and master’s degree in theology from St. Patrick’s Seminary in San Francisco, his doctorate in dogmatic theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, and taught for six years at St. Mary’s Seminary and University in Baltimore.

  • Life at the Sa Catholic Worker House
    END-OF-THE-YEAR RECAP: LIFE AT THE S.A. CATHOLIC WORKER HOUSE This would be a good year to use the well known aphorism, “No news is good news”. Things have been relatively quiet (except for some building issues – see below), and our opportunities to provide hospitality to a growing number of guests continues. Our goal was, and still is, to post a brief update every two months and a longer “newsy” newsletter in December. Obviously, this has not happened; our last newsletter was posted in May 2014. We apologize. ON-GOING TOPICS Neighborhood and City Relations: Our last long “newsy” 2013 EOY newsletter described the events leading up to and including a large meeting on December 14th called by our Councilperson and now Interim Mayor, Ivy Taylor. It was revealed that the 1st Amendment protects the Catholic Worker House’s mission by authority of the city attorney. Our ministry is indeed an expression of our faith; our mission statement is Matthew 25:40 which shapes our spirituality. We have been able to provide uninterrupted services to our guests during the entire year (including holidays). This marks a bit of a reprieve from all the excitement during the past 4 years. However, we realize that we are not “out of the woods” yet. Guests and Hospitality Services: Unlike the recent couple of years, when we usually did not serve 100+ guests until the end of the month, now we CONSISTENTLY serve more than a 100 guests the entire month for both breakfast AND lunch. About 60% eat both meals but about 40% are different for each meal.
