Third Bishop of Lexington @ Ordained September 16, 1995 @ Consecrated & installed as Bishop of Lexington on May 5, 2015 Bishop John Stowe was born April 15, 1966, to John R. and Lucy Satelli Stowe of Lorain, Ohio. He attended grade school at Saint Anthony of Padua Parish staffed by the Conventual Franciscans and Lorain Catholic High School. After a year of community college, Bishop John joined the formation program for the Conventual Franciscan Province of Our Lady of Consolation at Saint Bonaventure Friary in St. Louis, Missouri. During the time of his candidacy he began studies in Philosophy and History at Saint Louis University and completed B.A.s in each in 1990 after an interruption for novitiate. In 1992 he professed solemn vows in the Order of Friars Minor Conventual. Bishop John earned a Masters of Divinity and a Licentiate in Sacred Theology in the field of Church History from the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley (now affiliated with Santa Clara University). He served as a transitional deacon at Saint David of Wales Parish in Richmond, California, and com- pleted his diaconate at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in El Paso, Texas. In 1995 he was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop A. James Quinn at his home parish of Saint Anthony in Lorain. He was assigned to continue at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church as associate pastor. The parish is at the site of the Ysleta Mission, founded in 1682, and the oldest parish in Texas. It is on the U.S.-Mexico border and includes the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo of the Tigua tribe of Native Americans. Father John would continue as pastor of that parish. In December of 2002, Bishop John was invited by the Most Reverend Armando X. Ochoa, Bishop of El Paso, to serve the Diocese of El Paso as Moderator of the Curia and Vicar General. He later also served as Chancellor of the diocese. With a lack of priests in the diocese, Bishop John also as- sumed the role of Administrator of Our Lady of the Valley Parish there while serving in the Chancery. At the Province Chapter of 2010, Bishop John was elected Vicar Provincial of the Province of Our Lady of Consolation; he resigned from the Chancery in El Paso and became Pastor and Rector of the Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation in Carey, Ohio (Toledo Diocese). He was re-elected vicar at the Chapter of 2014. During his time in El Paso, Bishop John taught in the Tepeyac Institute for lay ministry, in the per- manent diaconate formation programs for the Diocese of Las Cruces and El Paso, and was active in community organizing in an organization called EPISO. He was active in ecumenical and interfaith dialogue and frequently taught jointly with Rabbi Larry Bach of the Reformed Temple Mount Sinai. In the Franciscan Province Bishop John chaired the Peace and Justice Commission and the Finance Commission at different times and served a term as a definitor (provincial counselor) even prior to his election as vicar provincial. Pope Francis appointed Bishop John Stowe as the Third Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lexington on March 12, 2015.

    The Coat of Arms of the MOST REVEREND KEVIN J

    The Coat of Arms of THE MOST REVEREND KEVIN J. FARRELL, D.D. Bishop of Dallas BLAZON (heraldic description): Arms impaled. In the dexter: Gules, on a fess per bend wavy Argent three fleurs de lis Azure, in the sinister chief two crossed swords Argent, in the dexter base a molet Argent. In the sinister: Per fess Or and Azure, a lion rampant per fess Gules and Or, standing on a mound of rock Argent. SIGNIFICANCE: The dexter impalement (on the observer’s left) displays the arms of the Diocese of Dallas. The red field honors the Sacred Heart. The diagonal wavy band with three fleurs de lis represents the Trinity River, named by early Spanish explorers, which flows through the diocese. The fleur de lis appears on the coat of arms of Pope Leo XIII, who established the Diocese of Dallas in 1890. The two silver swords in the upper right honor St. Paul, patron of the first permanent Catholic settlement in northeast Texas. The sword was the instrument of St. Paul's martyrdom. The star in the lower left locates Dallas in Texas, the Lone Star State. The sinister impalement displays the arms of Bishop Farrell. The lion rampant honors Theodore Cardinal McCarrick, Archbishop emeritus of Washington, and the Irish sept of O'Farrell. In the upper portion of the shield, gold (yellow) and the lion (red) are derived from the Arms of Cardinal McCarrick, whom Bishop Farrell assisted as Auxiliary Bishop of Washington. The lower portion of the lion in gold (yellow) derives from the Irish sept of O'Farrell.

THE BROOKE TOMB, COBHAM, (From the H.E.) THE BROOKE TOMB, COBHAM superintendence has been given by Charles Spence Esq, of the Admiralty, Chatham (who indeed has spared neither time, trouble nor workman- ship in the operations) and by Mr. John Gough Nichols." In 1866, Charles Roach Smith, F.S.A., of Temple Farm, Strood, writes to the same periodical to tell how J. G. Waller had recently restored all Cobham monuments, and giving details. In 1840, apparently, the tomb "had all its fragments carefully put together and the general architectural features, which had been lost by the destruction of the columns, were restored in plaster of Paris." The final restoration was begun by a Mr. Richardson (I of metallic heelball fame) and completed by Waller. "No part of the old work has been tampered with; even the smallest fragment of heraldic colour has been preserved . and every part of new work added is given from fragments carefully preserved in the repairs of 1840." It will be observed that there is no other indication of Ha,sted's suggested canopy of marble. As reconstructed, the monument has no space for columns to support a canopy, and it would seem Hasted was misled by the broken and detached Ionic columns which belonged to the sides. In no account is there reference to the iron grille which now surrounds the tomb. The tomb is described by Waller in Archreologia Cantiana, Vol.

  • Guidelines for Heraldry 1

    Guidelines for Heraldry 1

    Guidelines for Heraldry 1 Coats of arms and other heraldic devices may occur in any section a Church Record, carved in stone or wood, engraved on silver, printed on bookplates or covers, adorning textiles, pictures, tiles or windows. Most Recorders will need expert help in order to blazon (ie to describe in proper terms) the arms correctly. Aim to record coats of arms accurately. Do what you can to identify the arms, making it quite clear whether the identification is correct or whether it is questionable and whether the bearer was indeed entitled to the arms displayed. Recording When recording armorial bearings always enlist the help of someone with knowledge of heraldry. Do not use heraldic terms or attempt blazoning until you have consulted a local expert (see list held by your Group Leader). Ask them to blazon the heraldry, sending a clear colour photograph of the arms (with SAE) or a digital image via email if they cannot visit the church. Acknowledge the expert’s assistance in the Record. You may have a shield or a crest only, a shield with crest, or a whole achievement, which has a helmet and draperies (mantling) between shield and crest, and perhaps supporters at the sides, a motto beneath, occasionally the insignia of an order. See illustration in Inside Churches, Heraldry section. Often a shield will show the arms of two families side by side, those on the dexter (left hand for the viewer) being the husband’s arms impaling the arms of his wife on the sinister (right hand for the viewer).
  • HISTORY of the NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE for GIRL SCOUTS and CAMP FIRE by Virginia Reed

    HISTORY of the NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE for GIRL SCOUTS and CAMP FIRE by Virginia Reed

    Revised 3/11/2019 HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE FOR GIRL SCOUTS AND CAMP FIRE By Virginia Reed The present National Catholic Committee for Girl Scouts and Camp Fire dates back to the early days of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and the National Catholic Welfare Conference. Although it has functioned in various capacities and under several different names, this committee's purpose has remained the same: to minister to the Catholic girls in Girl Scouts (at first) and Camp Fire (since 1973). Beginnings The relationship between Girl Scouting and Catholic youth ministry is the result of the foresight of Juliette Gordon Low. Soon after founding the Girl Scout movement in 1912, Low traveled to Baltimore to meet James Cardinal Gibbons and consult with him about her project. Five years later, Joseph Patrick Cardinal Hayes of New York appointed a representative to the Girl Scout National Board of Directors. The cardinal wanted to determine whether the Girl Scout program, which was so fine in theory, was equally sound in practice. Satisfied on this point, His Eminence publicly declared the program suitable for Catholic girls. In due course, the four U.S. Cardinals and the U.S. Catholic hierarchy followed suit. In the early 1920's, Girl Scout troops were formed in parochial schools and Catholic women eagerly became leaders in the program. When CYO was established in the early 1930's, Girl Scouting became its ally as a separate cooperative enterprise. In 1936, sociologist Father Edward Roberts Moore of Catholic charities, Archdiocese of New York, studied and approved the Girl Scout program because it was fitting for girls to beome "participating citizens in a modern, social democracy." This support further enhanced the relationship between the Catholic church and Girl Scouting.

  • Archbishop Carlson

    Archbishop Carlson

    Most Rev. Carlson's Coat of Arms Motto: ANTE CRUCEM NIHIL DEFENSIONIS | Before the Cross there is no Defense The arms of a diocesan bishop are displayed on a heraldic shield divided vertically into two portions. The arms of the Catholic Diocese of Saginaw are the dexter impalement shown on the half of the shield to the viewer's left. The arms of the Bishop Carlson are on the sinister impalement, to the viewer's right. The personal arms of Bishop Carlson were designed by the Rev. James Parker. The "garb" is the heraldic representation of the sheaf of wheat and represents the bishop's native city of Minneapolis, Minn., known as the "Miller of the Midwest". The field of green suggests the great plains of South Dakota as well as the liturgical color for growth in the Faith. On the field, on either side of the sheaf of wheat are a crescent and a Latin Cross. The silver crescent represents Mary Immaculate and the Cross represents the bishop's faith committment and his mission to the faithful entrusted to his care. The heraldic cheif at the top of the shield is taken from the family arms of the bishop. The wavy bars in the base of the shield represent the Sioux River and the bishop's service in the Diocese of Sioux Falls. The scroll, bearing the bishop's motto is placed below the shield. As his watchword, the bishop chose: ANTE CRUCEM NIHIL DEFENSIONIS, which means "Before the Cross there is no defense". The entire achievement is completed by the addition of a gold processional cross that extends above and below the shield and a green ecclesiastical hat, the galero, with six tassles on each side disposed in three rows on either side of the shield.

  • Norbertine Spain: Preliminary Outline (August 28, 2012)

    Norbertine Spain: Preliminary Outline (August 28, 2012)

    Norbertine Spain: Preliminary Outline (August 28, 2012) Brief Historical, Political, Social, and Religious Background Prepared by Br. Terrence Lauerman, O. Praem., D. A. A. Premonstratensian Beginnings (Castilla-Burgos): According to Eduardo Corredera, the famous Marist historian who researched Premonstratensian history in Spain, the lore about the foundation of the Premonstratensians in Castilla needs to be revisited with more research. The somewhat questionable version by the early Premonstratensian historians (Bernardo de Leon, José Noriega, and Jaime Caresmar) is that two young men, Sancho Ansúrez from Valladolid and Domingo, the son of the Count of Candespina, went off to study in Paris where they heard about the life and activities of Saint Norbert. At some time before 1126 they presented themselves at Premontre to be admitted to the Order. After being sufficiently trained and mature in the religious life and spirituality of the Order, they were sent back to their native land in the north of Spain which was being taken back from the Moors during the Reconquest. The first two foundations in Castilla were Ribolo-Torta (Retuerta), founded in 1145 by Sancho, and Monte Sacro, founded in 1144 by Domingo. Monte Sacro was later moved by Domingo and renamed as la Vid in 1162. Most of the Premonstratensian abbeys were in the center- Northwest regions with none being in the southern regions of the peninsula which were liberated in the later Reconquest period. Abbeys founded between 1160 and 1170 were double foundations for both men and women.* B. Premonstratensian Beginnings (Aragón-Cataluńa): Marist Brother Eduardo Corredera relates that at the Council of Reims in 1148, Eugenio III asked some Christian princes to aid in the efforts of Ramón Berenguer IV of Barcelona to reconquer some cities in the Catalonian region from Moorish domination.
