Working together – we have achieved much success - as a school community, as teachers, as students, as servants of God. It has also been a year of new beginnings and new programs which we are excited to continue to build upon. This year alone, we have increased our staffing and services in Campus Ministry, launched our Arts and Enrichment Program and our AP Capstone Program, began to develop a formal Student Leadership Program, added a new Dining Service Program, opened a new School Store, and created a new Alumni Association. We have truly come together as a community this year in every aspect of school life! As we continue the progress here at AC, we are excited to come together with Saint Agnes School. Throughout the spring, with the leadership of Father Flatley, and the involvement of the entire community, we explored a deeper collaboration with Saint Agnes School. The Parish is so blessed to have two strong schools, and we look forward to being able to offer a true Pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade education experience in and out of the classroom. Collaboration in such areas as academics, faith formation, arts, athletics and professional development will allow us to offer our very best to our students and our community. We look forward to new Saint Agnes School Principal, Caitlin Oglesby, becoming part of our Leadership Team, to the faculty and staff offering us new perspectives and excitement and to the Saint Agnes School students enriching our lives and expanding our hearts. Working together, in faith, can only lead to success. I look forward to continuing to work with all of you in creating opportunities for student success!

The congregation was founded in 1947 by Father Gerald Fitzgerald in Jemez Springs, New Mexico; they are named for the Paraclete - a representation of the Holy Spirit interpreted as an advocate or helper. After a series of lawsuits related to sexually abusive priests that had been treated at its facilities, the order has consolidated their holistic programs to Vianney Renewal Center in Dittmer, Missouri, a unincorporated area outside St. Louis ['1 Contents Founding Treatment of sexually abusive priests Warnings to the Church hierarchy Dispute over treatment modalities Ouster Assessment Secrecy Expansion Later history References Founding While a member of the Holy Cross, Father Gerald Fitzgerald developed a vision of a religious community whose mission would be to serve the needs of priests and members of other religious orders who were struggling with issues such as pedophilia, alcohol and substance abuse problems. Fitzgerald recounted that he was inspired by an experience in which a destitute transient came to his door seeking assistance. Fitzgerald gave him assistance and was deeply moved when the transient said, as he was leaving, "I used to be a priest."

  • ABSTRACT Roman Catholic Church Teaching and Abortion: a Historical
    ABSTRACT Roman Catholic Church Teaching and Abortion: A Historical View from the Early Church to Modern Day Maren Brady Director: Dr. Jason Whitt, Ph.D. The Catholic Church is known today to be staunchly opposed to any practice that violates the dignity of human life, including abortion. While the Catechism refers to this teaching as constant and unchanging since the first century of the church, many have questioned whether the Church has always fully opposed abortion, especially in the early stages of pregnancy due to conversations surrounding theories of ensoulment and animation. In this thesis, I will argue that the Catholic Church has always embraced a respect for unborn human life from conception by opposing direct abortion. To do so, I trace the development of the Church’s current canon law and magisterial teaching pertaining to direct abortion from the early Church to the 21st century by examining the writings of prominent theologians, papal documents, and previous collections of canon law.
