About the Saint Anne Sodality The Saint Anne Sodality unites women who have as their aim the support of each other in living out their vocation and in the practice of Christian virtues. They place themselves and the sodality’s purpose under the protection of their patroness, Saint Anne. The goals of the sodality are one’s personal sanctification and the fulfilling of an apostolic dimension in the Church according to the Decrees of Vatican II. To meet these goals, the Sodality will make prayer services available and give appropriate advice or counsel to its members concerning the spiritual and corporal welfare of the Church. Constitution About Saint Anne Saint Anne is the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary and hence the maternal grandmother of Jesus. She is the patroness of women seeking a good, loving, and faithful husband, as well as of many other spiritual and temporal requests. She is the patron saint of grandmothers and housewives. She is also invoked for pregnancy and safe childbirth, infertility and sterility. Say this Novena once a day for nine days, especially beginning on July 17 and ending on July 25, the eve of the Feast of St. Anne and St. Joachim. Novena to Saint Anne O Glorious Saint Anne, filled with compassion for those who invoke thee and with love for those who suffer, heavily laden with the weight of my troubles, I cast myself at thy feet and humbly beg of thee to take under thy special protection the present affair which I commend to thee: (Mention your personal request here) Be pleased to commend it to thy daughter, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and lay it before the throne of Jesus, so that he may bring it to a happy outcome. Cease not to intercede for me until my request is granted. Above all, obtain for me the grace of one day beholding my God face to face, and with thee and Mary and all the saints, of praising and blessing him for all eternity. Amen, Good Saint Anne, mother of her who is our life, our sweetness, and our hope, pray to her for us and obtain our request. (Say three times) Good Saint Anne, pray for us. Jesus, Mary, Anne.

  • The History of St. Thomas the Apostle the First Fifty Years
    The History of St. Thomas the Apostle The First Fifty Years The following is from a small book commemorating the 50th Anniversary of St. Thomas the Apostle. THE YEAR was 1902, the month was July, the day was the 9th. This date will never be forgotten as it was on this day that His Excellency, the Most Reverend John J. Monaghan, Bishop of the Diocese of Wilmington, had purchased the property, near Fourth Street and Grant Avenue, as the site for a new Catholic Church and initiated the erection thereon of a combined church and school to be named in honor of the patron saint of the first Bishop of Wilmington, Most Reverend Thomas A. Becker. The cornerstone was laid on May 24, 1903, by Bishop Monaghan, assisted by Vicar-General John A. Lyons and a large group of priests. The ceremonies began with a processional from the home of the Little Sisters of the Poor to a large wooden cross on the Church site where it was determined that the altar would be erected. After blessing this particular spot, the Bishop then consecrated and laid the cornerstone. Following this he blessed the foundation and then bestowed the Papal Blessing on all those present at the ceremony. The sermon was delivered by the Reverend Francis T. McCarthy, TOP – Original Church and School, now the old gym. S.J., while the musical program was under the direction of Professor BOTTOM – The brand new rectory in 1911. James Curran. On June 30, 1903, the Reverend John J. Connelly, then Chancellor of the Diocese and Assistant Pastor of Saint Paul's Church, was appointed as first Pastor of Saint Thomas.

GUSTAFSON has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts _______________________________________________ Dora Wilson Professor of Music _______________________________________________ Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT GUSTAFSON, ADAM R., Ph.D., June 2011, Interdisciplinary Arts The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria Director of Dissertation: Dora Wilson Drawing from a number of artistic media, this dissertation is an interdisciplinary approach for understanding how artworks created under the patronage of Albrecht V were used to shape Catholic identity in Bavaria during the establishment of confessional boundaries in late sixteenth-century Europe. This study presents a methodological framework for understanding early modern patronage in which the arts are necessarily viewed as interconnected, and patronage is understood as a complex and often contradictory process that involved all elements of society. First, this study examines the legacy of arts patronage that Albrecht V inherited from his Wittelsbach predecessors and developed during his reign, from 1550-1579. Albrecht V‟s patronage is then divided into three areas: northern princely humanism, traditional religion and sociological propaganda.

Most of the emphasis will be placed on pointing out the existence of these two structures as they have continuously appeared across the centuries. This will serve to define, illustrate, and compare their nature and importance. The writer will also endeavor to explain why he believes our efforts today in any part of the world will be most effective only if both of these two structures are fully and properly involved and supportive of each other.

Portier Prior to 1960, U.S. Catholic periodicals regularly featured articles on the topic of purgatory, especially in November, the month for remembering the dead.

  • Confraternities in the Years Following the Council of Trent (27–31). the Three Curators of the Exhibition Then Take Turns Presenting Their Research
    88 Confraternitas 27:1–2 confraternities in the years following the Council of Trent (27–31). The three curators of the exhibition then take turns presenting their research. The first is Michel Scipioni, who describes and analyses the confraternity’s various statutes (the first set, from 1448, is item 2 in the exhibition and catalogue), its administrative organization, and its devotional practices (33–49). He also looks at the sodality’s membership in the seventeenth century when San Benedetto Bianco was attracting both important artists and intellectuals to its ranks, as well as member of the Florentine nobility. Alessandro Grassi follows with a chapter on the confraternity’s historical sede (quarters) next to the Old Cemetery in the convent of Santa Maria Novella and the artworks that embellished it (51–73). Giovanni Serafini offers a chapter on art and spirituality at San Benedetto Bianco that is particularly informative given the fact that many of the artworks in the confraternity were produced by artists who were, in fact, members of the sodality, thereby giving us a very unique and invaluable insight into the influence of spirituality on art, and vice versa (75–91). The last essay is by Maria Cecilia Fabbri who looks at an Old Testament cycle of eight octa- gons inherited by the confraternity in 1680 from its member Gabriello Zuti (1619–80), who around 1650 had commissioned the various works from a number of respected artists (93–105). At this point, the volume turns into a catalogue and provides detailed examinations of the thirty-two artworks in the exhibition, which included not only paintings, but also drawings, a fresco, manuscripts, books, a reliquary, a chalice, a crucifix (107–180).
