    It's All About Relationships: Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet Start Their

    5/28/14 It’s all about relationships: Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet Start Their Ministries Minnesota was still a territory in 1851 when Bishop Joseph Cretin decided some of the Native Americans and immigrants of his new Roman Catholic Diocese would benefit from education and other services. Familiar with the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph in France, which was founded in the 17th century to do “all of which woman is capable, and which will most benefit the dear neighbor” [Primitive Constitution], he decided a direct appeal would be best. Bishop Cretin traveled down the Mississippi River by steamboat to the village of Carondelet, a small town five miles south of St. Louis, Missouri where the sisters had settled in 1836. His request was successful. With ice forming along the Mississippi’s shore, four Sisters of St. Joseph from Carondelet, Missouri, stepped off a steamboat at the St. Paul landing on November 3, 1851. “The group,…accustomed to makeshift living conditions ever since their arrival in St. Louis,” was not surprised by their new quarters. The habitation awaiting them in St. Paul had been the Bishop’s house, “a shanty adjoining the log chapel of St. Paul, the first cathedral. St. Joseph’s Academy was opened [in the chapel] the second week of November, 1851, only a few days after the arrival of the four sisters.” By the end of their first year, Mother St. John wrote: “There were eighty-seven pupils, seventeen of them boarders, of Canadian and Indian descent. Among them … there were orphans and destitute children whose care fell to the sisters as a matter of course.” [Dolorita, Dougherty, Hurley, Daly, Coyne, B.

    Easter 6 2017 Acts 8: 5-17 There Is So Much Lovable Material in the Acts of Apostles, Fifth Book in the New Testament. We Hear

    Easter 6 2017 Acts 8: 5-17 There is so much lovable material in the Acts of Apostles, fifth book in the New Testament. We hear it every Sunday in the Easter season as first reading. We mostly ignore it. Church officials have cut out the colorful material, thinking it trivial, an error I will now remedy. We shouldn’t be surprised at the book’s lovability. It was written by Luke the gentle physician, author of the third gospel. He was a real literary writer, adept in the creation of character. He is therefore like the Russian writer Chekhov who could be funny and poignant in the same story or play, and was also a medical doctor. When you examine someone dressed in a skimpy hospital gown for medical purposes, I suspect it is both touching and absurd. I often extol Luke’s unique contributions to the Jesus story (contrasting with dull, didactic approaches): he gives us the good Samaritan, prodigal son, penitent thief--brilliant characters—and, best of all, the Christmas story from Mary’s viewpoint, with the angels and shepherds. A sequel is always inferior to the original book (think of the attempt for Gone with the Wind). Acts is a sequel, yet has many delightful episodes. For example, the Christians are being persecuted and Peter is imprisoned. “Peter in chains” is Fr Peter’s preferred patron-saint story, grimly shackled as he is to school duties. An angel (what Chekhov makes a walk-on role, Luke makes an angel) comes through the prison walls at the silence of midnight, with a key (why would an angel need one?), releasing Peter from his cell, and leading him through the empty streets.

    The Acts of the Apostles – Session 3 April 1 – Saul’S Conversion & Peter’S Gentile Ministry – Acts 9-12

    The Acts of the Apostles – Session 3 April 1 – Saul’s Conversion & Peter’s Gentile Ministry – Acts 9-12 Welcome & Introduction • The book of Acts is all about the movement of the Holy Spirit. In this time of challenge and upheaval of our lives, how have you experienced the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life? In other words, how has God shown up? Acts 9:1-31 Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now as he was going along and approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” He asked, “Who are you, Lord?” The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. But get up and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.” The men who were traveling with him stood speechless because they heard the voice but saw no one. Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. For three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank. Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” He answered, “Here I am, Lord.” The Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul.

  • Rhoda, a Servant Girl Acts 12:13 'Peter Knocked at the Outside Door

    Rhoda, a Servant Girl Acts 12:13 'Peter Knocked at the Outside Door

    Rhoda, A Servant Girl Acts 12:13 ‘Peter knocked at the outside door and a servant girl called Rhoda came to answer it.’ In this section of the book of Acts, we encounter a number of big figures. There is Herod: dark, threatening, ruthless and cruel. His name is mentioned once only, but in the verses which come before our reading, we are told that he began to persecute some members of the church. He had James the brother of John put to death by the sword and when he saw that this pleased the Jews he went on to arrest Peter and imprisoned him. Herod was a formidable figure as far as the church was concerned and yet his time was soon to come. In the verses following our reading we find Herod at variance with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They came to him to sue for peace and Herod put on his royal robes, sat on his throne and made a speech for which he received great praise. The people who heard it said, ‘It isn’t a man speaking but a god’. Herod did not give the glory to God as he should have done and he was eaten by worms and died. Such is the fate, ultimately, of those who set themselves up against God. Then there is the figure of Mary, the mother of John Mark. This is the only time she is mentioned in the New Testament but here she stands tall. It was in her home that the believers met for prayer and to which Peter came on his release from prison.
