Varkey Deacon: Rev. Mr. Melvin Dunphy STA Early Childhood Center: 376-2330; Bishop Larkin Catholic School (K-8): 862-6981 Bishop McLaughlin Catholic High School: 857-2600 Fourth Sunday of Advent - December 22, 2019 SCRIPTURE REFLECTION Mary had to face an enormous challenge to her faith and trust in God and to the faith of her family and Joseph, the man she chose to marry. She was asked to assume a burden of tremendous responsibility. It had never been heard of before that a child could be born without a natural father. Mary was asked to accept this miraculous exception to the laws of nature. That required faith and trust in God and in his promises. Second, Mary was not yet married. Pregnancy outside of wedlock was not tolerated in those days. Mary was only espoused to Joseph, and such an engagement had to last for a whole year. She was asked to assume a great risk. She could have been rejected by Joseph, by her family, by all her own people. Mary knew that Joseph and her family would not understand without revelation from God. She nonetheless believed and trusted in God's promises. Joseph, a just and God-fearing man, did not wish to embarrass or punish his espoused wife, Mary when he discovered that she was pregnant.

Origination: Cole, Joseph E. Extent: 882 linear feet Physical Location: Abstract: After the Cleveland Press newspaper ceased publication on June 17, 1982. Joseph E. Cole, its publisher, donated the "morgue" to Cleveland State University. Representing the archived editorial library, sometimes referred to as a "newspaper morgue," topics focus on the news coverage of northeastern Ohio, with national and international news stories holding a secondary level of importance.The Cleveland Press photograph collection is composed of an archive of over one million photographs. Unit ID: PH2000.000PRE Language(s) of the Materials: English History of The Cleveland Press The Cleveland Press, founded by Edward W. Scripps, began as the Penny Press on 2 Nov. 1878. A small, 4-page afternoon daily, the paper continued to prosper. Shortened to the Press in 1884, and finally the Cleveland Press in 1889, by 1903 the Press was Cleveland's leading daily newspaper. As it entered the 1920s, the Press neared 200,000 in circulation. Louis B. Seltzer became the 12th editor of the Press in 1928, and under his 38-year stewardship the Press became one of the country's most influential newspapers. Seltzer readjusted its original working-class bias into a less controversial neighborhood orientation, stressing personal contacts and promoting the slogan "The Newspaper That Serves Its Readers." In the postwar period the Press continued its public service campaigns and remained an unrivaled force in Ohio politics.

    SOLEMN CONSECRATION AND INSTALLATION OF MONSIGNOR FRANCIS MALONE AS THE THIRD BISHOP OF SHREVEPORT TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 2020, 2:00 P.M. CONVENTION CENTER, SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA Your Excellency Metropolitan Gregory Aymond, Your Excellency Bishop Anthony Taylor, Your Excellency Bishop Michael Duca, Your Excellency Bishop Designate Francis Malone, My Brother Archbishops and Bishops, Dear Priests, Deacons, Consecrated Religious, Lay Faithful of the Diocese of Shreveport, Dear Friends: I am truly pleased to be with you here for the Consecration and Installation of the third Bishop of Shreveport, His Excellency Francis Malone. I want to express my gratitude to Bishop Michael Duca of Baton Rouge for his years of service as Ordinary of Shreveport and to the Very Reverend Peter Mangum who has served as Administrator of the Diocese for more than a year. Bishop-Elect Malone, in a recent visit of American Bishops to Rome, the Holy Father told them: “You must be close to God in your prayer and your personal life; you must be close to your priests as a father and walk with them; and you must be close to your people.” (Remarks to Bishops of Ecclesiastical Region I, November 2019) Your years of experience in the Diocese of Little Rock have taught you what it means to be close to the People of God. These last years as Pastor of Christ the King, have honed your pastoral skills, which complement your administrative gifts. At your press conference, tongue-in-cheek, you said, “I’m a big shot!” You are a “big shot” with “big responsibilities.” The Big “Big Shot” – Pope Francis – ordained some bishops at the Vatican Basilica and, in the course of his homily, reflected: “In the Church entrusted to you, be faithful custodians and dispensers of the mysteries of Christ.

  • You Are Creating a Brighter Future BETHLEHEM UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION / ANNUAL REPORT / FISCAL YEAR 2019-2020 My Thanks for Your Generosity and Commitment
    You Are Creating a Brighter Future BETHLEHEM UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION / ANNUAL REPORT / FISCAL YEAR 2019-2020 My Thanks for Your Generosity and Commitment Dear Friends, Thank you for your support of the Bethlehem University Foundation. Your gifts are a testimony to your vision — that of creating a brighter future. With your support of Catholic education, you are forming the future peacemakers of the Holy Land. I am grateful for your generosity. In this Annual Report, I invite you to take a closer look at the lasting difference your gifts make and encourage you to learn more about how endowed gifts at the Foundation create a perpetual and sustainable future for Bethlehem University. In this report you will discover that the past year was filled with celebrations and successes: • New endowed funds established by Lieutenancies, Knights, and Dames of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. • Award winners from our November 2019 reception, and the welcoming of Cardinal O’Brien as a Patron. • Endowed scholarships created by several families to honor their loved ones. • Expressions of gratitude toward our Board, Patrons, and donors this fiscal year. • Charts showing income and expenses for Bethlehem University Foundation for the fiscal year 2019-2020. Early in 2020, the world united in the fight against an invisible enemy, COVID-19. The city of Bethlehem was put on lockdown in early March, but with your critical support, the University successfully completed the spring semester and summer session with online learning. Your generous response provided the means for the Foundation to offer extra help to the University in its time of desperate need.

  • Restorative Justice
    "I have come to heal..." Restorative Justice This is the fourth in a series of six pastoral statements by Catholic Bishops of the South on the Criminal Justice process and a gospel response. "We are guided by the paradoxical Catholic teaching on crime and punishment: We will not tolerate the crime and violence that threatens the lives and dignity of our sisters and brothers, and we will not give up on those who have lost their way. We seek both justice and mercy. Working together, we believe our faith calls us to protect public safety, promote the common good, and restore community. We believe a Catholic ethic of responsibility, rehabilitation, and restoration can become the foundation for the necessary reform of our broken criminal justice system." U.S. Catholic Bishops statement, "Responsibility, Rehabilitation, and Restoration: A Catholic Perspective on Crime and Criminal Justice," November 2000. As pastoral leaders of the Roman Catholic community, we would like to continue to reflect with you on the themes of responsibility, rehabilitation and restoration in light of the reality of crime and criminal justice in our area of the country. Prisons, like wars, are public admissions of defeat for humanity. Whenever possible, alternatives for incarceration must be searched for and implemented. Such an alternative is the approach of restorative justice.1 All of us have a right to public safety and protection from violence. The criminal justice system was created when public safety was threatened, when violence occurred. Our current criminal justice system is based on retribution - those who cause suffering by committing crime are to be punished by the government for what they have done wrong.2 However, many people, including many victims of crime, think the current system is not working.

  • ANNUAL REPORT - Most Rev
    2017 ANNUAL REPORT - Most Rev. Shelton J. Fabre MESSAGE FROM THE BISHOP My friends in Christ, The year 2017 has truly provided great hope for the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux and the Catholic Foundation of South Louisiana. Through our Diocesan Strategic Planning “Plans of Hope,” we have reinvigorated the Catholic Foundation in an effort to provide a powerful instrument to our Diocese, to assist with the gifts the Lord has bestowed upon us. The Catholic Foundation serves as a great resource to our Diocese, and for our donors to give financially through the Foundation to their desired ministry. It was established to ensure that the ministries of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux can grow and thrive, thereby seeking to ensure a bright future for our ministires. The Diocesan Capital Campaign, which took place a few years ago, helped to create our two largest endowments with the Catholic Foundation benefiting Seminarian Education and Catholic Charities, raising over $5 million dollars. We are incredibly grateful for those who supported the Capital Campaign, our seminarians, and Catholic Charities. Over the last year, the board and staff of the Catholic Foundation have been working to provide great vehicles to make charitable giving simple and impactful. The Catholic Foundation’s assets total $5.3 million for the fiscal year ending June 2017, supporting a number of ministries throughout our Diocese. This past fall of 2017, the Catholic Foundation distributed $159,103 back to the ministries who have endowments established, and we are eager to continue to give back in an effort to financially sustain and enhance our many ministries.

  • Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, J.C.D. Statement on the Proposed 'Don't
    Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, J.C.D. Statement on the Proposed ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ Legislation (01.VI.10) In a response to a request from the Chiefs of Chaplains of the Armed Forces I communicated some considerations and concerns regarding the proposal to change the existing legislation regarding persons with a homosexual orientation in the military. In fulfilling my role as the chief shepherd of Catholics in the United States Armed Forces, I have had the opportunity of visiting many installations in the recent past. A number of chaplains and commanding officers have expressed concerns about the effects of a change. There is a request for guidance. The teaching of the Catholic Church is clearly expressed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church: 2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,140 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."141 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved. 2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial.
