  • A Brief History
    A BRIEF HISTORY Michael Campbell-Johnston, S.J. (From Promotio Iustitiae, Nº 66, February 1997) Care for the poor and sick was a prominent feature in St. Ignatius' life from the moment of his conversion and a marked characteristic in the apostolate of the first companions and most early Jesuits. As General in Rome, fully occupied with the care of a rapidly expanding order and in writing its Constitutions, Ignatius still found time to promote a wide variety of charitable works for homeless beggars, the hungry, penitent prostitutes, orphans and even converts from Judaism. His instructions to Lainez and Salmaron to visit hospitals and minister to the poor while acting as Papal Legates at the Council of Trent set the pattern for future generations of Jesuits, large numbers of whom died ministering to the sick poor during the various epidemics that plagued Europe and the New World before the discovery of modern medicine. To more famous names, such as Peter Claver or Aloysius Gonzaga, must be added the 1,190 Fathers and Brothers who, according to Fr. Alegambe's catalogue, died as victims of charity serving the sick during the hundred years following St. Ignatius' death. Not all this activity was confined to the traditional corporal works of mercy. There is no doubt that some, such as the reductions in Paraguay or Fr. Antonio Vieira's defense of negro slaves in Brazil which led to his expulsion, would approximate to what we now understand as the social apostolate. However, in its modern acceptance, the term "social apostolate" or others like it, such as "social action", came into general use around the time of and partly due to Rerum Novarum, of 1891, the first papal encyclical to address the social problem in its entirety.

  • The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension
    The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension Introduction History of Martyrologies The Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. The official Latin version of the Martyrology contains a short liturgical service the daily reading of the Martyrology’s list of saints for each day. The oldest surviving martyologies are the lists of martyrs and bishops from the fourth-century Roman Church. The martyrology wrongly attributed to St. Jerome was written in Ital in the second half of the fifth century, but all the surviving versions of it come from Gaul. It is a simple martyrology, which lists the name of the saint and the date and place of death of the saint. Historical martyrologies give a brief history of the saints. In the eighth and ninth centuries, St. Bede, Rhabanus Maurus, and Usuard all wrote historical martyrologies. The Roman Martyrology, based primarily on Usuard’s, was first published in 1583, and the edition of 1584 was made normative in the Roman rite by Gregory XIII. The post-Vatican II revision appeared first in 2001. A revision that corrected typographical errors and added 117 people canonized by Pope John Paul II between 2001 and 2004, appeared in 2005.1 The Purpose and Principles of This Martyology The primary purpose of this martyrology is to provide an historically accurate text for liturgical use at the monastery, where each day after noon prayer it is customary to read the martyrology for the following day. Some things in this martyrology are specific to the Monastery of the Ascension: namesdays of the members of the community, anniversaries of members of the community who have died, a few references to specific events or saints of local interest.

  • Welcome to St.Francis Xavier Church
    WELCOME TO ST. FRANCIS XAVIER CHURCH ! An Illustrated Guide to the Artwork, Architecture, and Holy Men and Women Depicted in Our Church 611 Sycamore Street Cincinnati, OH 45202 This guide is intended to be a digital resource available to the St. Francis Xavier Church community as a “virtual” tour of the artwork in our historic house of worship. This guide is not intended to be a comprehensive history of the church. That is a much more ambitious project taken on by others. Parishioner Margy Richards began this effort around the year 2010, creating a one-page pamphlet for parishioners and visitors to St. Francis Xavier Church. In 2020 I began photographing the Church to illustrate the pamphlet. This “photo expedition” resulted in discoveries and questions that led to revising and expanding the text to accompany the illustrations. Margy Richards, Fr. Patrick Fairbanks, S.J., Jennifer Thumm, Chris Dole, Deacon Tim Crooker, Fr. Bob Ross, S.J., Fr. Tom Kennealy, S.J., Anne Ryckbost (Xavier University Archivist), Jesse Brown and Erika Broenner (Verdin Co.) and Diane Roden were extremely helpful in offering additional insights, edits and photos. Additionally, in Section X you will find brief biographies of each of the holy men and women memorialized in the statues and murals in our church. Learning about these people and the contributions they made to our Catholic faith provides a richer understanding of our faith and the history of the Society of Jesus – the Jesuits. I hope that you will find this guide helpful, and that it leads to a greater thirst for knowledge.

  • Ignacio De Loyola. on September 27, 1540, Pope Paulus III Gave Formal Approbation of the Society of Jesus by the Bull Regimini Militantis Ecclesiae
    Ignacio de Loyola. On September 27, 1540, Pope Paulus III gave formal approbation of the Society of Jesus by the bull Regimini militantis ecclesiae. With the Pope's signature the Society of Jesus, as a fully canonical religious order, had become a reality. On March 4, 1541, during Lent, the first Jesuits gathered to work in the constitutions. They agreed to choose a Superior General for life. The first election was very solemnly conducted on April 2, 1541. During three days the six companions gave themselves up to prayer for guidance in their choice. Then their sealed votes, together with those of the absentees previously obtained, except Bobadilla's, were placed in a box and left to be, as it were, consecrated by a further three days of prayer. At length the time arrived to scrutinize them: "Jesus. Excluding myself, I give my vote in Our Lord to him who receives a majority of votes to be the superior. I have given it indeterminately for good reasons, but if the Society thinks otherwise, or that it is better and more to the glory of God for me to particularize, I am ready to do so." Ignacio "I, Francisco, say and affirm, . that the one to be elected general in our Society is, in my judgment, our old leader and true father, Don Ignacio, who brought us together with no little labor, . and that, after his death, his successor is to be Father Peter Favre..." Xavier "Concerning the first superior general to whom we are to vow obedience, I give my vote to Ignacio, and in his absence by death, which God forbid, to Master Francis Xavier...." Favre "Jesus, Maria.
