From the Desk of the Director Donna Spoto st The universal Church recognizes November 1 as All Saints Day: a day we recognize the holiness of the saints in heaven—both known and unknown. The desire of Bishop Giaquinta to communicate to all people their fundamental vocation to holiness was so great that he designated November 1st as the Day of Univer- sal Sanctification. This essential Pro Sanctity celebration touches the very core of our baptismal call to live holiness in our daily lives and the Founder dreamt that this would become a celebration of the whole world. This year’s celebration will be particularly poignant, as it opens the Year of the Founder (November 1, 2013 to November 1, 2014), celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Bishop Giaquinta. Our news- letter will focus on the life of our Founder and will assist us in coming to know him more intimately— as a person, priest, bishop, founder, and devoted Servant of God. We celebrate his life as a true apostle of holiness! We are particularly blessed to have as our Episcopal Moderator Bishop Ray Chappetto, who has already embraced with great enthusiasm the Year of the Founder by sharing the Pro Sanctity message with all of his brother bishops in the United States (see enclosed letter). His love of the Pro Sanctity Movement shines through in his beautiful letter and generous availability to Pro Sanctity. Since the core of Pro Sanctity is to understand and know Christ personally and respond fully to His love, Bishop Chappetto shares that the Pro Sanctity Movement promotes the Universal Call to Holiness by seek- ing to address the needs of the mind with theology, the heart with spirituality, and the hands with ministry.

  • For the Academic Year
    Leavers’ Ceremony for2019-2020 the academic year from St David’s Metropolitan Cathedral 10th September 2020 A Message from the Principal Dear Students, The Catholic Church has a longstanding tradition of seeking to provide a holistic education accessible all young people regardless of their ability, background or personal experience. The Church is here for all. St David’s is fortunate in being able to participate in the continuation of this tradition. St David’s offers young people a spiritual ethos founded in the Christian faith, a welcoming physical environment and a combination of empathetic and quality teaching and education that prepares its students well for the opportunities and challenges of life. Your achievements and contributions at St David’s this past year have been impressive. Many of you will now be moving on to university, while others will be moving directly into the world of employment or training. Whatever it is you choose to do, it is important to remember that, when undertaken in love, all things are worthwhile and valuable in the eyes of God. As the awards are made tonight it is hoped that we will have time to reflect upon the names associated with them. The achievements and the sacrifices of each of these remarkable individuals, each in their own way, provides inspiration to us all. Whether it be the work of a Saint or the more modest contribution of a former member of our community, each contributes to who we are and to what we will be. It is our hope that your time spent at St David’s Catholic College has been fruitful, both academically and personally, and that you are blessed in your future endeavours.

The post-polio syndrome. 10.—Concluding remarks. ABSTRACT: The history of polio in Italy is relatively short because the particular social and demographic history of the country has actually compressed the most dramatic history of the polio epidemic into only 40 years, from the first severe epidemic just before World War II to the early 1980s, when the epidemic vanished thanks to an effective and country-wide vaccination campaign. The epidemic, however, had a formidable impact on medicine, public health, social attitudes and culture. An analysis of this case study can illustrate the impact of an epidemic of a severe disease on individual and collective life, and at the same time the efficacy of public health measures against it, and the importance of the social structure, state and private, in coping with the consequences of the epidemics. In this period, the attitude towards the handicapped changed from stigma and isolation to social integration, thanks especially to the changes in health legislation, social action and the initiatives of the patient’ associations.

Cardinal O’Malley has been a member of the foundation’s board for 12 years. He is also presi- dent of the Pontifical Council for the Protection of Minors and a member of Pope Francis’ Council of Cardinals. The Philadelphia-based Papal Foundation gives grants in support of projects and proposals recommended by the Holy See. Since 1990, the foundation has given over $100 million in grants in service to the Catholic Church. Cardinal O’Malley praised the work of the foundation, through whose grants, he said, “families and individuals in underserved areas around the world have experienced profound improvements in their lives.” “Churches, education and health care pro- grams, evangelization and vocation efforts all have been made possible through the extraordi- nary generosity of the women and men who work closely with the Holy See in providing funding for our brothers and sisters in need,” he stated.

  • EASTERLETTER.Pdf
    With this letter I wish to develop further the theme of consecration. It is addressed to the Brethren, the Rosminian Sisters of Providence, the Adopted Sons, and the Ascribed Members. Our commitment to consecration in the Rosminian Family is expressed in different ways, but our life is the same: we are all grafted "in Christ", all branches of the one vine, associated in the charism of universal charity, the means of our sanctification. The purpose of my Easter Letter is twofold: firstly, to strengthen the conviction that our life is not "wasted" because given to God. Secondly, since it is indeed given to God, we must not detract from the gift, but we must offer it with generosity, even if, in the eyes of the world, it may seem a wasted gift. The "world" has no right to despise believers, judging them unproductive and useless. We, however, must not detract from the gift, on the contrary, let us abound to the point of being prodigal, because God is the recipient of our gift. The value of our Baptismal Consecration Consecration is something which has almost… a divine quality about it, and this is not of little value. However, it is true to say that awareness of our own baptismal consecration has been growing, and I will say more about it later. The first Consecration “… Abel for his part brought the first-born of his flock, and some of their fat as well” (Gen. 4, 4). The offering made by Abel, the first in order of time, was also a beginning, that is, a paradigm for subsequent consecrations.

There has long been a stigma surrounding mental illness, particularly among those Christians who insist that depression is a sign of faithlessness, rather than the result of mental illness, physiological conditions, or past trauma. Some have viewed suicide in particular as irremediably sinful, a final act of despair. Such beliefs are both untrue and dangerous, causing those who are suffering to refuse necessary treatment (such as counseling or medication) and even to conceal their struggles, ashamed at their purported weakness. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, while reiterating that our lives are not our own to dispose of, and suicide is “gravely contrary to the just love of self,” also states, “Grave psychological disturbances, anguish, or grave fear of hardship, suffering, or torture can diminish the responsibility of the one committing suicide” (paragraph 2282) and goes on to explain that the Church prays for those who have taken their lives, knowing that God’s mercy is boundless. To underscore the truth that mental illness isn’t a sign of spiritual weakness, the Church has saints who lived with mental illness, saints who went to therapy and took medication, and even saints who struggled against suicidal ideations.
