I hope as many of you as possible will be able to attend. On that day he will also bless the school’s Millennium Garden, which serves as a reminder to us that this is a Jubilee Year, a year of special favour from God, in which we celebrate the 2000th birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. At the Mass on that day, it is my pleasure to announce that Mrs Anne Morgan will receive the special award of ‘Benemerenti’ from His Holiness Pope John Paul II in recognition of her faithful service to the parish and school as well as for her work in the local community. I should like to pay tribute to her excellent contribution over the years to the life and work of the school in particular. The school’s continued success and the Christian values it maintains have been greatly supported and fostered through her leadership and example. Her award is well deserved. Sadly, she will retire from St Anthony’s at the end of the year 2000, and the governors of the school are now engaged in a process of appointing a new headteacher who will carry forward the great work that has been done already and develop it further. I would ask you to pray for a successful outcome to this process. For some inexplicable reason the number of those children entering St Anthony’s school this year is less than in previous years. I would ask those of you who have not enrolled your child to begin school this year to do so as soon as possible. Priority is given to those children from Catholic families living in the parish, but there are usually some spaces available each year for children of non-Catholic families. We have a very good and happy school, committed to high standards in education and the promotion of the Christian values of love of God and our neighbour. I would commend its continued support to you. Finally, as the Season of Lent moves towards the celebration of the great feast of Easter may I remind you that you are most welcome to attend any and all of our Easter Services the details of which are published each week in the parish newsletter and posted on the door of the church. May the light, peace and joy of the Risen Christ dwell in your hearts and homes this Easter. God bless you all. History of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Parish, Page 2 Wolverhampton. (2000 – 2007) School News Millennium Mementoes The P.T.A. gave each child in the school a souvenir mug featuring the St. Anthony’s badge and the words ‘celebrating the new Millennium’ The local churches in Fordhouses provided all the school children in the area with a beautifully illustrated copy of St. Mark’s Gospel. The Gospels for our children were blessed by Fr. Tony at the first assembly of the new Millennium and then distributed by the Rev. Philip Dennison from St. James Church. Fund-raising So far in the year 2000, the children have contributed the following;- £100 to the Holy Childhood Missionary Society £50 to UNICEF £200 to ‘Make a Wish Foundation’ They are at present collecting for Father Hudson’s Society which is our annual Lenten good cause, and also buying daffodil badges to support the Marie Curie Cancer Care Foundation. A big thank you from all these very grateful recipients to such generous children and parents. Request for Prayers About three years ago the little sister of three boys at St. Anthony’s was diagnosed as suffering from a form of leukaemia. Hayley Korbaly received treatment including chemotherapy and was able to attend Nursery before starting in Reception class last September. Just before her 5th birthday in February it was learned that she required further treatment. This would mean a bone marrow transplant if a suitable donor could be found. Fortunately her eldest brother Thomas, who now attends Our Lady & St. Chad’s School, was found to be a perfect match. The transplant will go ahead as soon as Hayley is considered ready for it. Please pray for the success of this operation. Hayley is a very brave little girl and our thoughts and prayers are with her and all her family at this very difficult time. A happy and holy Easter to you all. Anne Morgan NOTE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND AMERICANS: One shilling = Five pee. It helps to understand the antique finances of the Witchfinder Army if you know the original British monetary system: Two Farthings = One Ha'penny. Two Ha'pennies = One penny Three pennies = A thrupenny bit Two thrupences = A sixpence Two sixpences = One shilling or bob Two bob = A florin One florin and One sixpence = Half a crown Four half Crowns = Ten bob note Two ten bob notes = one pound (or 240 pennies) One pound and One shilling = One guinea. The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because they thought it was too complicated. History of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Parish, Page 3 Wolverhampton. (2000 – 2007) Call her Rosemary ! I must begin by apologising for talking about Christmas at Easter but as anyone who knows me will tell you, I’ve never been one to be ‘up to date’. Also, and more importantly, if I leave this until the Christmas issue a good opportunity might be lost. I had this idea you see, well actually I pinched it from the office I work in! At Christmas instead of buying cards for colleagues that you see every working day, we all gave a contribution to charity. Truly a plan with no drawbacks - no wondering that you’ve forgotten someone, no chasing around to deliver on time, plus the money for good causes. So, I thought, what if the good people of St Anthony’s adopted this idea and instead of sending cards to each other, signed a huge card and gave a donation to the Church Roof fund. I’m sure some imaginative individual could make us a card or perhaps a section of wall in the church porch could be set aside for individual cards wishing everyone a happy Christmas. Well, it’s worth a thought. AP. ARENT Full transcript available see Appendix 61 I’M FINE THANK YOU There is nothing the matter with me I’m as healthy as I can be I have arthritis in both of my knees And when I talk I talk with a wheeze. My pulse is weak, my blood is thin But I’m awfully well for the state I’m in. Arch supports I have got for my feet, Or I wouldn’t get onto the street, Sleep is denied me night after night But every morning I find I’m alright. My memory’s failing, my head’s in a spin But I’m awfully well for the shape I’m in. How do I know that my youth is all spent? Well my ‘get up and go” just all went But I really don’t mind when I think with a grin I’m awfully well for the shape that I’m in. Old age is golden I’ve oft heard it said But sometimes I wonder as I get into bed Wooden leg in the corner and teeth in a cup Glass eye in the drawer until I wake up Ere sleep overtakes me I say to myself “Is there anything else I could leave on the shelf?” I get up each morning and dust off my wits And pick up the paper and read the ‘obits’ If my name is still missing I know I’m not dead So I have a good breakfast and go back to bed With a packet of fags and a bottle of gin And I really don’t care about the state I get in!

    A PROVINCIAL SCHOOL OF ART AND LOCAL INDUSTRY: THE STOURBRIDGE SCHOOL OF ART AND ITS RELATIONS WITH THE GLASS INDUSTRY OF THE STOURBRIDGE DISTRICT, 1850-1905 by JAMES SCOTT MEASELL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham April 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Founded in 1851, the Stourbridge School of Art offered instruction in drawing, art and design to students engaged in industries, especially glass. Using social history methodology and primary sources such as Government reports, local newspapers and school records, this thesis explores the school’s development from 1850 to 1905 and explicates its relationships with the local glass industry. Within the context of political, economic, social and cultural forces, the school contributed to the town’s civic culture and was supported by gentry, clergy and industrialists. The governing Council held public meetings and art exhibitions and dealt with management issues. Working class men attended evening classes. Women from wealthy families attended morning classes.

  • The Catenian Association – PROVINCE 6
    The Catenian Association – PROVINCE 6 Press Release for Immediate Publication Mass of Renewal for Deacons Deacons, their families and friends gathered in St Cad’s Cathedral on Saturday 7th June for their annual Mass of Renewal within the Silver Jubilee Year of the Permanent Diaconate in the Archdiocese of Birmingham. This special Mass where Deacons renewed their commitment to the Diaconal Service was celebrated by His Grace the Archbishop of Birmingham Bernard Longley, supported by the Auxiliary Bishops of Birmingham; the Rt. Rev. David McGough, William Kenney and Robert Byrne; together with Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Rt. Rev. Philip Pargeter. In his homily, the Archbishop made reference to the immeasurable help the Diaconate had made to the ministry of the Gospel and service to the Church, throughout the Archdiocese over the last 25 years. He thanked all the Deacons, present, past and unable to attend for their dedication and resolve in accepting the responsibilities and challenges of carrying out their ministry. To mark the achievement of 25 years existence of the Permanent Diaconate, the Diocesan authorities agreed to the commissioning of special anniversary stoles for use by all Deacons in the Archdiocese – of which there are over 80. The funding for these special stoles has been substantially provided by the Catenian Association; principally in Province 6. Following the Archbishop’s Homily, and prior to the Renewal of Commitment to the Diaconal Service, The stoles were blessed by the Archbishop. The stoles bear the emblem of the friends of The Holy Land, who with their help had the stoles made in Bethlehem, providing employment for Christians living there.

    HITCHMOUGH’S BLACK COUNTRY PUBS KINGSWINFORD (Inc. Himley, Wall Heath) 3rd. Edition - © 2015 Tony Hitchmough. All Rights Reserved www.longpull.co.uk INTRODUCTION Well over 40 years ago, I began to notice that the English public house was more than just a building in which people drank. The customers talked and played, held trips and meetings, the licensees had their own stories, and the buildings had experienced many changes. These thoughts spurred me on to find out more. Obviously I had to restrict my field; Black Country pubs became my theme, because that is where I lived and worked. Many of the pubs I remembered from the late 1960’s, when I was legally allowed to drink in them, had disappeared or were in the process of doing so. My plan was to collect any information I could from any sources available. Around that time the Black Country Bugle first appeared; I have never missed an issue, and have found the contents and letters invaluable. I then started to visit the archives of the Black Country boroughs. Directories were another invaluable source for licensees’ names, enabling me to build up lists. The censuses, church registers and licensing minutes for some areas, also were consulted. Newspaper articles provided many items of human interest (eg. inquests, crimes, civic matters, industrial relations), which would be of value not only to a pub historian, but to local and social historians and genealogists alike. With the advances in technology in mind, I decided the opportunity of releasing my entire archive digitally, rather than mere selections as magazine articles or as a book, was too good to miss.

  • Ordine Costantiniano 2011.Qxd:Layout 1
    Cronache Costantiniane Maggio 2011 - Luglio 2012 Editorial Every year we celebrate our birthday; on October 29 of this year, our ancient Constantinian Order of Saint George will celebrate its 17th century of life. As we all know, the Order was founded by the Emperor Constantine to defend, after the taking of Rome, the famous "Constantinian Labarum". The third millennium sees our Order increasingly projected into the future and to overcome the old boundaries to take on an increasingly international connotation but never stopping to remember the past in the process. In the general session of July 2011 in Geneva on the UN Economic and Social Council decided to grant from August 1, 2011, the special consultative status to the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George. The personal relationships of the Grand Master and Princess Camilla are often propaedeutic to the purposes of the Order, as recently happened in London, where in the Cathedral of Westminster where the Grand Master has presided over the investiture of the new Knights and Dames of the British and Irish delegations after the celebration of the Mass in Latin by the Grand Prior, His Eminence Cardinal Renato Raffaele Martino and the Vice-prior of the delegation, His Most Reverend Excellence Mrs. George Stack, Archbishop of Cardiff. Always in London, our Prince and Princess have received the Freedom of City of London at Stationer's Hall, a prestigious recognition that for the first time was awarded to an Italian Lady. Only a few days ago Charles and Camilla of Bourbon received, with the Delegate of Rome, Prince Ruspoli, the King of Tonga George Topou V, the only absolute monarch of Polynesia, who reigns over a small state composed of 169 islands, and to whom they have awarded the Royal Order of Francis I with the secret hope of being able to inculcate the constantine moral also to the polynesian nobles.

    The Dutch fighters that defended the Pontifical States (1860-1870): Problem and solution perceptions of the then Dutch government Bauke, Douwe, and Matthijs Walta from Friesland, the Netherlands Roos Machielse – s1746103 Crisis and Security Management Master Thesis 10 June 2018 Thesis supervisor: Dr. C.W. Hijzen Second reader: Dr. G.G. de Valk Word amount: 30.993 Dutch fighters in the defense of the Pontifical States (1860-1870): a familial connection In 1860, the Pontifical States under Pope Pius IX were threatened by Italians fighting for unity of the Mediterranean island. A multinational fighting force consisting of thousands of young Catholics from various continents left their homes to fight for the Pope.1 Between 1866 and 1870, my great-great-great grandfather Matthijs Walta and his two brothers Bauke and Douwe Walta (see front page) left Friesland, the Netherlands, to participate in the defense of the Pontifical States. With my ancestors leaving the Netherlands to join an armed struggle abroad 150 years ago, a phenomenon that is still highly relevant today, the topic raised my interest to research the defense of the Pontifical States as a historical case more in depth in this Master Thesis.
