  • BISHOPS CONFERENCE Press Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE To the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB): "What we hope for from the National Conference Assembly of Bishops in Baltimore on November 12-14, 2018." Leadership from Baltimore area Catholic churches are heartened by the three goals Cardinal Daniel DiNardo announced in his 16 August statement on the measures to be taken by the USCCB and the Holy See to address the moral catastrophe that has overtaken the Church. An open letter created by the St. Ignatius "Women of the New Testament Ministry" has now been sent to DiNardo, Archbishop William Lori, and his auxiliary bishops which proposes further steps in increased accountability and transparency we believe necessary for restoring trust in the bishops and for advancing the reform of the clerical culture of the Church. That letter can be accessed here. We would appreciate your support in this effort as the USCCB gathers in Baltimore on November 12–14 to discuss "stronger protections against predators in the Church and anyone who would conceal them, protections that will hold bishops to the highest standards of transparency and accountability." If you agree with what is proposed in the open letter, would you please share it with friends at parishes and ask them to support this effort? This can be accomplished by doing the following: 1. Print out letter (upload letter) 2. Sign it 3. Mail it to Cardinal DiNardo at the address listed in letter. For the maximum impression, the letters should be received by Cardinal DiNardo before the Conference begins. The Conference will be held at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront.

  • Letter of His Holiness Pope Francis to the People of God
    Letter of His Holiness Pope Francis to the People of God August 20, 2018 “If one member suffers, all suffer together with it” (1 Cor 12:26). These words of Saint Paul forcefully echo in my heart as I acknowledge once more the suffering endured by many minors due to sexual abuse, the abuse of power and the abuse of conscience perpetrated by a significant number of clerics and consecrated persons. Crimes that inflict deep wounds of pain and powerlessness, primarily among the victims, but also in their family members and in the larger community of believers and nonbelievers alike. Looking back to the past, no effort to beg pardon and to seek to repair the harm done will ever be sufficient. Looking ahead to the future, no effort must be spared to create a culture able to prevent such situations from happening, but also to prevent the possibility of their being covered up and perpetuated. The pain of the victims and their families is also our pain, and so it is urgent that we once more reaffirm our commitment to ensure the protection of minors and of vulnerable adults. 1. If one member suffers… In recent days, a report was made public which detailed the experiences of at least a thousand survivors, victims of sexual abuse, the abuse of power and of conscience at the hands of priests over a period of approximately seventy years. Even though it can be said that most of these cases belong to the past, nonetheless as time goes on we have come to know the pain of many of the victims.

    History of Sacred Heart Cathedral His Holiness Pope John XXIII History of Sacred Heart Gathedral Rochester, New York 1911 - 1961 A HISTORICAL SKETCH by Robert F. McNamara Professor of Church History ST. BERNARD'S SEMINARY Rochester, N. Y. THE CATHEDRAL Rochester 1961 His Excellency Most Rev. James E. Kearney, D .D. Bishop of Rochester Foreword After half a century of religious activity, I am sure the story of our beautiful Cathedral will be very welcome. While it is true that the story of a Catholic Church is a deeply spiritual experience written in the hearts of those who worshipped here both within the sanctuary and in the pews, we still have the saga of those whose devotion and labors created, developed, and finally brought to cathedral magnificence this Church dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Scholarship and piety give to the pen of Father McNamara the gift of enriching th~s simple story for our edification. I thank God for the privilege of being a part of the story for so many years. + James E. Kearney Bishop of Rochester Preface After the parish picnic on July 9th, we spent the evening proof­ reading the galley sheets of Father McNamara's parish history. Reading his account of the laying of the cornerstone of the original church, Sunday, July 9, 1911, we suddenly realized that the event had taken place exactly fifty years before, to the very day. Laying the copy aside, we made a sentimental pilgrimage across the street and stood in the gathering darkness before the cornerstone, thinking long thoughts about the past.
