    Parish Apostolate: New Opportunities in the Local Church

    IV. PARISH APOSTOLATE: NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN THE LOCAL CHURCH by John E. Rybolt, C.M. Beginning with the original contract establishing the Community, 17 April 1625, Vincentians have worked in parishes. At fIrst they merely assisted diocesan pastors, but with the foundation at Toul in 1635, the fIrst outside of Paris, they assumed local pastorates. Saint Vincent himself had been the pastor of Clichy-Ia-Garenne near Paris (1612-1625), and briefly (1617) of Buenans and Chatillon­ les-Dombes in the diocese of Lyons. Later, as superior general, he accepted eight parish foundations for his community. He did so with some misgiving, however, fearing the abandonment of the country poor. A letter of 1653 presents at least part of his outlook: ., .parishes are not our affair. We have very few, as you know, and those that we have have been given to us against our will, or by our founders or by their lordships the bishops, whom we cannot refuse in order not to be on bad terms with them, and perhaps the one in Brial is the last that we will ever accept, because the further along we go, the more we fmd ourselves embarrassed by such matters. l In the same spirit, the early assemblies of the Community insisted that parishes formed an exception to its usual works. The assembly of 1724 states what other Vincentian documents often said: Parishes should not ordinarily be accepted, but they may be accepted on the rare occasions when the superior general .. , [and] his consul­ tors judge it expedient in the Lord.2 229 Beginnings to 1830 The founding document of the Community's mission in the United States signed by Bishop Louis Dubourg, Fathers Domenico Sicardi and Felix De Andreis, spells out their attitude toward parishes in the new world, an attitude differing in some respects from that of the 1724 assembly.

    Volume 24, Issue 3 — September 8, 2019 September 8, 2019 Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary To the Members of the United States Association of Consecrated Virgins, One of the greatest challenges of celibates and virgins is to realize the primordial challenge from God that we be fertile and multiply. For us, the first part of responding to this challenge is to imagine how this is even possible. Obviously, this will be accomplished as a spiritual fecundity. Our life of prayer for the Church and the world, both in general and in particular is a primary way to fulfill this duty. Are there other ways? This will depend on our method of “living in the world.” Whatever it is that we do, be it Church work or completely secular labor, there we encounter fertile soil. Each of us then must determine how best we can help the Word of God take root, both by our example and by our words. God will give the increase, but we must plant seeds. Fecundity of any kind should always be the Inside this Issue Page result of love and therefore love is the primary seed which we Something Ancient - will plant.

"The biggest purchasers of these porn magazines are the 12-17 year- olds," Kelly told the audience, many of whom registered surprise at his statement. Pornography was only one of the many topics addressed by more than 200 women who attended the seventh bicnnal conference of the Florida Council of Catholic Women at the Konover Hotel in Miami Beach last week.

    Bishop George R. Evans 1922-1985

    “Servant of God and Man” is the motto Auxiliary Bishop George R. Evans chose to have affixed to his coat o f arms when he was elevated to the episcopacy of the Church on April 23, 1969, by Pope Paul VI. Fidelity to his chosen guiding principle earned for him the reputa­ tion as a “social action bishop.” A sensitive and caring man, he was always reticent about himself, preferring instead to praise the people with whom he worked. His deep concern for social justice issues came about in his first year as a bishop. Only seven months after his consecration as a bishop, he preached a sermon defending social activism and Church reform touched off by the modernization efforts o f the Second Vatican Council. Thereafter, he took highly public stands on the needs o f the poor, on housing issues, on women’s rights, on pro-life and the issue o f nuclear war. He spoke out against the M X missile, saying it went beyond any just defense.

    Committee on Chicano Rights, Inc for IMMEDIATE PRESS

    Committee on Chicano Rights, Inc FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE National City, CA May 10,1989 The naming of Bishop Robert H. Brom as bishop for the San Die Catholic Diocese was labeled by Committee on Chicano Rights (CCR) chairperson Herman Baca as a "Racist decision and an insult to the million parishioners of Mexican ancestry who comprise over 50% of the San Diego Catholic diocese". The decision to name Bishop Blom over Aux. Bishop Gilbert Chavez who has served as the auxilary Bishop for the last 15 years stated Baca "is not only a racist slap in the face to the Spanish speaking community but is also a clear manifisation that racism and colonialism which has historically affl- cted the U.S. Catholic hierarchy is not only alive but continues to flourish". This degrading decision continue Baca is "a clear message to those who struggled in the late 60's and 70's for institutional change and equal representation within the Catholic church for the Spanish Speaking that conservative elements in the church hierarchy are now attempting to turn the clock back by reviving the pratice of colonialism and racism as official church policy". In concluding, Baca stated that "the conservatives have obviously capturured the ear of the Pope as seen by the effort to canonize Father Junipero Serra and the Pope turning away from promises • made to Chicano Bishops in Rome this year to institute a new deal and major changes for the spanish speaking in the United States".

    February 2, 2015 CSNChicago.com Chicago says goodbye to Mr. Cub Ernie Banks By Patrick Mooney Mr. Cub is gone, leaving this franchise and this city without one of its greatest ambassadors. An A-list crowd turned out at Fourth Presbyterian Church on Saturday morning, memorializing Ernie Banks on what would have been his 84th birthday, remembering his excellence on the field and grace off the field. Sunshine beamed into the stained-glass windows during a ceremony that lasted more than 90 minutes and aired live on multiple TV channels. It almost felt like a Cooperstown exhibit had come to downtown Chicago with Hall of Famers Billy Williams, Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson, Reggie Jackson, Joe Torre, Lou Brock, Andre Dawson and Fergie Jenkins. Banks, who died last week after suffering a heart attack, probably would have wondered what all the fuss was about. He didn’t want to talk about his game — 512 career home runs, a Gold Glove at shortstop and a spot on Major League Baseball’s All-Century Team — or what it was like when he played. “Ernie was unassuming,” Jenkins said. “He didn’t want the title of being a star. He wanted to be a teammate.” Banks would have loved to listen to the laughter and the upbeat music. Calvin Bridges’ Chicago Praise Ensemble sung “This Little Light of Mine” and “Oh Happy Day,” clapping from the balcony. Williams remembered going to spring training as the next big prospect in the late 1950s and can still see that smiling face welcoming him to the organization.

    Reconciled On Reconciliation and Greater Collaboration Between Through Hispanic American Catholics and African American Catholics CHRIST Committee on Cultural Diversity in the Church United States Conference of Catholic Bishops 2 English Edition2 RECONCILED THROUGH CHRIST On Reconciliation and Greater Collaboration Between Hispanic American Catholics and African American Catholics He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he himself might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile all things for him, making peace by the blood of his cross [through him], whether those on earth or those in heaven. (Col 1:18-20) United States Catholic Conference • Washington, D.C. The NCCB Committee on African American Catholics and the NCCB Committee on Hispanic Affairs have been in dialogue for several years about the positive relationship—and the tensions—that often exist between both communities. In their dialogue, the committees have discussed their common cultural roots; their common histories; their leaders, heroes, and heroines; their challenges and dreams; and the need to work for the common good in the Church and in society. The committees worked on developing Reconciled Through Christ with the intent of making the Church more aware of and sensitive to the need for collaboration and reconciliation. The document, prepared by both committees, is particularly directed at the pastoral leadership that works with the African American Catholic and the Hispanic Catholic who together share many similar challenges. In Septem- ber 1996, the Administrative Committee of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops approved the bilingual publication of Reconciled Through Christ, which is authorized for publication by the undersigned.
