A week after the fire, parish- ioners gathered for Mass in a pavilion across the street from the church. See page 8. CHRIS HEISEY, THE CATHOLIC WITNESS - THE CATHOLIC WITNESS, September 3, 011 Faith and Life Church Will Get through ‘Difficult Moment,’ Archbishop Chaput Says at Installation By Carol Zimmermann Catholic News Service Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, in- stalled Sept. 8 as the new archbishop of Philadelphia, encouraged Catholics to know they will get through the “dif- ficult moment” the local church is ex- periencing. Although rain prevented an outdoor procession at the Cathedral Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul, it did not dampen the spirits of about 1,700 people, in- cluding 400 priests and 100 bishops, who attended the installation Mass. The Mass took place after days of rain and local flooding, and many in the congregation faced long detours just to arrive at the cathedral in the heart of the City of Brotherly Love. Outside the cathedral, the struggles the archdiocese has faced in recent months were very apparent. A block away, Catholic high school teachers were picketing during the second day of their strike; in front of the cathedral, while members of the Neocatechume- nal Way sang and played guitars and drums, a group of people protesting clergy abuse marched silently, holding aloft signs as a stinging reminder of the recent grand jury report that accused archdiocese officials of failing to pre- vent abuse of children.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2011, THE CATHOLIC WITNESS - 3 Local Church News My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, The Catholic Church believes and teaches that parents are the primary educators of their children. In accord with that responsibility parents have a right to choose a school for their children that corresponds to their convic- tions. These teachings and beliefs are the foundational principles behind our support for school choice vouchers legislation currently being proposed by our legislature and Governor. All parents should be allowed to use their tax dollars to send their child to a school of their choice. The passage of the Opportunity Scholarship Grants program would allow parents to choose the best school for their child and relieve them of the burden of being forced to pay twice for this fundamental right. I ask you to take part in our online advocacy network, notifying your representatives of your support for school choice. You can learn more about this at www.PaCatholic.org. I strongly urge each and every Catholic in our Diocese to take action and support school choice by visiting, writing, calling and faxing your elected CHRIS HEISEY, THE CATHOLIC WITNESS representatives. You can also send an email to them via the Pennsylvania A $5,000 contribution from Metro Bank was recently given to the Diocese of Catholic Advocacy Network at www.PaCatholic.org.

Map showing the 'Western line' and blast locations. The 11 July 2006 Mumbai train bombings were a series of seven bomb blasts that took place over a period of 11 minutes on the Suburban Railway in Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), capital city of the Indian state of Maharashtra and India's financial capital. 209 people lost their lives and over 700 were injured in the attacks. Details The bombs were placed on trains plying on the western line of the suburban ("local") train network, which forms the backbone of the city's transport network. The first blast reportedly took place at 18:24 IST (12:54 UTC), and the explosions continued for approximately eleven minutes, until 18:35, during the after-work rush hour. All the bombs had been placed in the first-class "general" compartments (some compartments are reserved for women, called "ladies" compartments) of several trains running from Churchgate, the city-centre end of the western railway line, to the western suburbs of the city. They exploded at or in the near vicinity of the suburban railway stations of Matunga Road, Mahim, Bandra, Khar Road, Jogeshwari, Bhayandar and Borivali.

    our most basic rights are being gravely threatened. This threat is embodied in the rising tide of institutional hostility to free exercise of religion in America.

UNDENIABLE: The Survey of Hostility to Religion in America, 2017 Edition, is an UNDENIABLE alarming compilation of more than 1,400 documented instances of hostility towards free religious exercise. It offers irrefutable evidence of this growing crisis in four key areas: • The Public Arena (government, public places, and the workplace) • Education • Religious Institutions • The U.S. Military (active and retired) Legal action can help save religious liberty for all Americans.

  • World Trade Center Cross Installed in 9/11 Memorial Museum
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Saturday, July 23, 2011 WORLD TRADE CENTER CROSS IS INSTALLED IN 9/11 MEMORIAL MUSEUM Ceremony Commemorates the Intersecting Steel Found by 9/11 Recovery Workers The National September 11 Memorial & Museum today announced that the intersecting steel beam that came to be known as the World Trade Center Cross will be lowered by crane into the 9/11 Memorial Museum. First encountered by construction worker Frank Silecchia in the vicinity of where 6 World Trade Center had stood, the 17-foot-tall Cross became an icon of hope and comfort throughout the recovery effort in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. Prior to installation in the Museum, Father Brian Jordan gave the Cross a ceremonial blessing this morning at Zuccotti Park, near the World Trade Center site. Father Jordan, a Franciscan priest who had been ministering to workers and blessing human remains recovered at the site, comforted rescue and recovery workers after the 9/11 attacks. Throughout the recovery period, Jordan spent Sunday after Sunday holding mass and offering communion at the base of the Cross. After the blessing at Zuccotti Park, the Cross was transported onto the WTC site and lowered into its permanent setting inside the Museum, which will open to the public in 2012. “The World Trade Center Cross is an important part of our commitment to bring back the authentic physical reminders that tell the history of 9/11 in a way nothing else could,” 9/11 Memorial President Joe Daniels said. “Its return is a symbol of the progress on the Memorial & Museum

  • Keynote Address for 12Th Anniversary of 9/11 Grossmont Community College Jake Jacoby, MD
    Keynote Address for 12th Anniversary of 9/11 Grossmont Community College Jake Jacoby, MD Good morning, on this the 12th Anniversary of the Terrorist Attacks on America, in New York City, in Arlington County, VA at the Pentagon, and in the skies of our Homeland. I would like to thank the Administration of Grossmont Community College, and in particular Mr. Donald Harrison, Acting Director for College and Community Relations, and Professor Jeff Lehman, Dept of Chemistry, for inviting me to share some thoughts with you at this gathering to commemorate one of the most repugnant and horrific events of our lives. I was asked to speak as one of the many people who responded when called, to assist in the medical needs of responders and support personnel during the response and recovery phases of the WTC Attack. As a little bit of background, I have been an Emergency Medicine physician for over 30 years. In 1991, I was asked to start a Disaster Medical Assistance Team here in San Diego, otherwise known in our world as a DMAT. It is a team of physicians, nurses, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, respiratory therapists, communications, security and logistics officers, and administrative personnel with the mission of responding to disasters and special security events to provide medical care, when needed. Since then, our team has been asked by our Federal Government to respond to nearly 2 dozen disasters, such as the Northridge Earthquake, Floods in the Midwest; multiple Tropical Storms and hurricanes, including Hurricane Katrina, and most recently, Hurricane Sandy. The Terrorist Attacks on America on September 11, 2001 was one of those disasters.

  • History of St Peter's Church
    St. Peter’s Church “Mother Church of Old Catholic New York” New York State’s first Roman Catholic parish established in 1785 Welcome St. Peter’s Church was, “truly the rock upon which the present Archdiocese of New York with its hundreds of churches, schools and other institutions were founded”, wrote Leo Raymond Ryan. St. Peter’s Church was a center of early American Catholicism, established five years before the establishment of the present day United States government. St. Peter’s Church is the first Roman Catholic parish in New York State and predates the first Bishopric in the United States. The parish served as a safe haven for needy immigrants, New Yorkers suffering during the yellow fever epidemic, and downtown neighbors in the aftermath of 9/11. During her long history, the parish became connected to many admirable and influential Catholic New Yorkers including our first American saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton, and several in line for sainthood. 2 Our History EARLY NEW YORK CATHOLIC COMMUNITY During English rule, Catholic worship was prohibited. Following the Revolutionary War, New York City served as temporary capitol of the newly-independent United States. This prominence brought many foreign ambassadors and businessmen to the city, some of whom were Catholic, as were several members of Congress. A small group of Catholic city residents began attending Mass privately at the home of Don Diego de Gardoqui, the ambassador of Spain. Father Farmer, a pioneer and tireless missionary tended to the beginning flock. As the congregation grew, they launched a plan to build a church of their own, under the leadership of Father Whelan, a member of the Capuchin Order from Ireland.
