At the recent conference in Glasgow the Supreme Knights and their representatives from around the world decided that it was important that Knights across the world could share their thoughts, ideas and vision to fulfil the original ideas of Fr McGilvney. That all our Orders shared the same unity of purpose all over the world and it was important that each of us were aware of the actions of our brothers in different countries and indeed continents given that, sadly we now live in a world where attacks on our Christian and Catholic faith, both physical and otherwise, have become the norm and more worryingly accepted without question.

    LITURGICAL CALENDAR 2007 FOR THE DIOCESES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Committee on the Liturgy United States Conference of Catholic Bishops 2 © 2006 United States Conference of Catholic Bishops 2 3 Introduction Each year the Secretariat for the Liturgy of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops publishes the Liturgical Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America. This calendar is used by authors of ordines and other liturgical aids published to foster the celebration of the liturgy in our country. The calendar is based upon the General Roman Calendar, promulgated by Pope Paul VI on February 14, 1969, subsequently amended by Pope John Paul II, and the Particular Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America, approved by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.1 The General Instruction of the Roman Missal, 2002, reminds us that in the cycles of readings and prayers proclaimed throughout the year in the sacred liturgy “the mysteries of redemption are recalled in the Mass in such a way that they are in some way made present.” Thus may each celebration of the Holy Eucharist which is served by this calendar be for the Church in all the dioceses of the United States of America “ the high point of the action by which God sanctifies the world in Christ and of the worship that the human race offers to the Father, adoring him through Christ, the Son of God, in the Holy Spirit.”2 Monsignor James P. Moroney Executive Director USCCB Secretariat for the Liturgy 1 For the significance of the several grades or kinds of celebrations, the norms of the Roman Calendar should be consulted (cf.

  • The Tradition of the Red Mass Was Begun by Pope Innocent IV in 1243
    Mass with Bishop Timothy L. Doherty followed by a dinner for legal professionals and a presentation by Notre Dame Law Professor Richard W. Garnett The tradition of the Red Mass was begun by Pope Innocent IV in 1243 for the Ecclesial Judical Court asking the invocation of the Holy Spirit as a source of wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude and strength for the coming term of the court. The color red signifies the Holy Spirit and martyrdom. St. Thomas More is the patron saint of lawyers. The Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana will celebrate the fifth annual Red Mass on Monday, October 5, 2020, at the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Lafayette at 5:30 pm. All government officials (federal, state, local levels, executive, legislative, judicial branches), attorneys, paralegals, law students and their spouses are cordially invited to attend. One does not have to be Catholic to join us in prayer and fellowship for the legal community. The Red Mass is a tradition in the Catholic Church which dates back to the 13th century. The first Red Mass is believed to have been celebrated in the Cathedral of Paris in 1245, and thereafter the tradition spread throughout Europe. A Red Mass was initially celebrated to mark the beginning of the annual term of the courts but can be held at other times. The word “red” was originally used to describe the Mass in 1310, because the justices of the English Supreme Court wore scarlet robes. Over time the “Red” Mass came to have a deeper theological meaning, with red symbolizing the “tongues of fire” that descended upon the Apostles at Pentecost bestowing the gifts of the Spirit.

  • A History of Divine Word Missionaries in Ghana: 1938-2010
    University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh A HISTORY OF DIVINE WORD MISSIONARIES IN GHANA: 1938-2010 BY JOSEPH KWASI ADDAI (10328424) THIS THESIS IS SUBMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF GHANA, LEGON IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE AWARD OF M.PHIL RELIGIONS DEGREE JUNE, 2012 University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh DECLARATION This thesis, with the exception of materials quoted from other scholarly works which have been acknowledged fully, is the original production of research work by the researcher under the supervision of Rev. Prof. Cephas N. Omenyo and Rev. Fr. Dr. George Ossom- Batsa at the Department for the Study of Religions, University of Ghana. Any error in this thesis is fully acknowledged as the fault of the researcher. Signature: ………………………………. Date: …………………… Joseph Kwasi Addai (Student) Signature: ………………………………. Date: …………………… Rev. Prof. Rev. Prof. Cephas N. Omenyo (Supervisor) Signature: ………………………………. Date: …………………… Rev. Fr. Dr. George Ossom-Batsa (Supervisor) i University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh ABSTRACT The problem of this study was that, although the SVD missionaries have been a major partner in the evangelizing mission of the Roman Catholic Church in Ghana since their arrival in 1938, their specific contribution to the growth and development of the Catholic Church in Ghana has not been fully assessed. The objective of this thesis therefore is to appraise the missionary activities of the SVD within Ghanaian Catholic Church, and also assess their relevance in contemporary Ghanaian Christianity as a whole. Using the historical method and approach, chapter two traces the history of the SVD from the time of the arrival of the first two missionaries up to the time the mission was handed over to a diocesan bishop in 1971.
