Katia Roebuck [email protected] Great news this last week with the presentation of our revised site plan for the Cathedral campus to our RCIA Diocesan Building and Real Estate Commission, who granted us unanimous approval! With this per- Fr. John A. Kane mission, we are now scheduling information sessions on the planned phases of construction, which will include not only the Cathedral campus, but also future plans for our downtown campus as well. With a Social Justice bias for action, note that the first phase of construction planned is now in the permitting process with Barbara Quinby, M.P.S. the City of Raleigh, expected to take a couple months for approval M everything takes time!

Look for the upcoming dates for these information sessions as we continue to grow our campuses to meet our needs. Youth Ministry Elizabeth Queen What Happened to the Gift Shop? M Short answer: making steady progress and hopefully opening sometime in the Spring or early summer of this year. Many details, including a manager and volunteer staff, as well as the inventory and accounting work. Good news in that I have identified a parishioner who will manage the shop and whom I will shortly announce. Also, I have asked the Diocese to man- age the accounting work, given the many complexities and responsibilities which accompany a re- tail endeavor. As of now, I hope to schedule it to be open four days a week, which will include Sun- days for the convenience of our parishioners and pilgrims. Look for more details.

Just as we have borne the image of the earthly one, Let me nail him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; we shall also bear the image of the heavenly one.

  • Sewanee News, 1980
    TheSewanee News MARCH 1980 Symposium on Business Perhaps the most neglected area of Southern history is its business history, and a remedy for that will begin with the First Annual Sewanee Economics Symposium April 3-5. The theme for the symposium is "Business in the New South: A Historical Perspec- tive." Marvin E. Goodstein, professor of economics and coordinator for the symposium, said Sewanee is taking a lead in the historical study because little research has been done in Southern business history (though southerners are interested in other aspects of their history), and because busi- ness history itself shows signs of expanding significantly. Panels are being formed with academic persons in economics, history, and business, business persons who have access to valu- able records, and archivists and librarians. Professor Goodstein said he expects the symposium will answer a need for more study in business history. Also, it is expected to generate additional interest in busi- ness history and generate coopera- tion between the business and university communities. Panels are being formed to discuss four aspects of business in the South—the early problems, the modern successes, the future, and a cooperative approach to preserving the records of Southern business. The panel chairmen include Jeremy Atack of the University of Illinois, Albert Niemi of the Uni- versity of Georgia, Fred Bateman of Indiana University and the University of the South, and Robert Lovett, curator of manuscripts and archives for Harvard Business School. Goodstein said he expects Professor Goodstein will chair executive officer of Vulcan Ma- banquet will begin at 6.30 at Sewa- Mr.

WDid you know that The Josephite Harvest is the oldest Catholic mission magazine in continuous existence in the United States? No other religious community can say that! The Harvest magazine is a national Catholic treasure. We truly stand on the shoulders of giants, those who faced the challenges and opportunities of their time and passed that legacy of faith to us. The Josephites have been communicating with our parishioners, donors and benefactors – as Father Michael Thompson, well as the public at large – for more than 125 years! One of The Harvest magazine editors is fond SSJ Superior General of reminding me that the Gospel starts “In the beginning was the Word …” Throughout history the written word is one of the most important ways that we record our history, share our ideas and project our future. This issue of The Harvest does all those things. n the pages ahead, we revisit the pastoral plan for the African-American Catholic community. We learn about how our parishes are meeting the needs of their communities, building new churches, Icelebrating landmark anniversaries and going door-to-door to share the faith. We also read about how our youth are taking national leadership roles through the Knights of Peter Claver, which the Josephites helped to found.

  • Black Catholic History Information
    Black Catholic History Information 1 Black Catholic History - History, Heritage, and Truth Some people lambast Christianity as "a white man's religion." Worse yet, there have been Christians, Black and White, Protestant and even Catholic, who regard Catholicism as a "white church." Amazingly enough, these myths and misconceptions remain entrenched in some people's minds. On July 24, 1990, the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus of the United States designated November as Black Catholic History Month to celebrate the long history and proud heritage of Black Catholics. Two commemorative dates fall within this month, Saint Augustine's Birthday (November 13) and Saint Martin de Porres' Feast Day (November 3). More impor- tantly, November not only marks a time when we pray for all saints and souls in loving re- membrance, but also a time to recall the saints and souls of Africa and the African Diaspora. Some people forget that Christianity did not originate in Europe and even express surprise when they learn that Black Catholic History began in the Acts of the Apostles (8: 26-40) with the conversion of the Ethiopian Eunuch by Philip the Deacon. This text is important for sev- eral reasons. First, it chronicles the conversion of the first Black African in recorded Christian history. Second, the text suggests that the man was a wealthy, literate, and powerful emissary of the Nubian Queen and also a faithful, practicing Jew prior to his baptism. Clearly, he was not an ignorant heathen. Third, the Ethiopian Eunuch's conversion predates the conversions of Saints Paul and Cornelius. Most significantly, many cite this conversion as the very moment when the church changed from a Hebrew and Hellenist community to the truly Universal and Catholic Church.
