I was going to write something on St. Martin De Porres the Dominican Friar from Lima, Peru in the 17th centu- ry. However, due to other obligations, I simply did not get around to it. My apologies, but I en- courage you to look him up and learn more about this most interesting saint. I would like to use this month’s platform and say thank you. Thank you to all of the wonderful parishioners of St. William. My dad was always there for me and my family. It’s hard to imagine that he isn’t anymore. While my family and I mourn his loss, I know many of you do as well. We mourn together, and we will all get through this. We will lean on each other. That’s what families do. And. Yes, I consider St. William my family. My dad did too. He served three differ- ent parishes as a Deacon of the Diocese. But no matter where he served, he always considered St. William home. Just before he died, my mom told my dad that he was the best part of her. He made her a better person. If that is the case, then we are all better people for knowing Deacon Jim. He led by ex- ample and humility. But, that shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who knew him. As I said in my funeral homily, that’s just the kind of guy he was. Never afraid to give of himself to others. So, on behalf of my mother and the rest of the Schmall clan, thank you. Thank you all for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support (and cooking) during my dad’s illness and death. I am truly blessed. My family is truly blessed. Blessed because we have such a wonderful parish family. Words simply are not enough. But know that you all are in our prayers. In closing, I’d like to share this with you. My dad was having a particularly bad night one night, so I grabbed his bible which was sitting on the nightstand. I was looking for some inspiration and this passage was highlighted: “So, we are always courageous, although we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yet we are courageous, and we would rather leave the body and go home to the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 5:6-8 NABRE) Peace, St. Marn de Porres Deacon Jimmy The Nicene Creed, Part 2 When we participate in the Mass, we always state our belief as Christians by reciting the Nicene Creed. Over the next few months, we will be looking at our Creed in depth as to explore the detail of what we do believe through faith and the teachings of the Church. This month, we will focus on the origin of the Nicene Creed with the Council of Nicaea. The First Ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church, was held in 325 in Nicaea on the occasion of the heresy of Arius (Arianism), who was preaching that Jesus was only Human and not divine. As early as 320 or 321 St. Alexander, Bishop of Alexandria, convoked a council at Alexandria at which more than one hundred bishops from Egypt and Libya anathematized Arius. The latter continued to officiate in his church and to recruit followers. Being finally driven out, he went to Palestine and from there to Nicomedia. During this time St. Alexander published his "Epistola encyclica", to which Arius replied; but henceforth it was evident that the quarrel had gone beyond the possibility of human control. Finally, Constantine concerned himself with the re-establishment of religious peace as well as of civil order. He addressed letters to St. Alexander and to Arius deprecating these heated controversies regarding questions of no practical importance, and advising them to agree without delay. Hosius of Cordova, his counsellor in religious matters, bore the imperial letter to Alexandria, but failed in his conciliatory mission. Seeing this, the emperor, judged no remedy more apt to restore peace in the Church than the convocation of an ecumenical council. The emperor himself begged the bishops of every country to come promptly to Nicaea. Several bishops from outside the Roman Empire (from Persia) came to the Council. It is not historically known whether the emperor in convoking the Council acted solely in his own name or in concert with the pope; however, it is probable that Constantine and Sylvester came to an agreement. The choice of Nicaea was favorable to the assembling of a large number of bishops. It was easily accessible to the bishops of nearly all the provinces, but especially to those of Asia, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Greece, and Thrace. The assembly numbered among its most famous members St. Alexander of Alexandria, Eustathius of Antioch, Macarius of Jerusalem, Eusebius of Nicomedia, Eusebius of Caesarea, and Nicholas of Myra. Some had suffered during the last persecution; others were poorly enough acquainted with Christian theology. Among the members was a young deacon, Athanasius of Alexandria, for whom this Council was to be the prelude to a life of conflict and of glory. The Council was opened by Constantine with the greatest solemnity. The emperor waited until all the bishops had taken their seats before making his entry. The emperor made an address expressing his will that religious peace should be re-established. He had opened the session as honorary president, and he had assisted at the subsequent sessions, but the direction of the theological discussions was aban- doned, as was fitting, to the ecclesiastical leaders of the council. The emperor began by making the bishops understand that they had a greater and better business in hand than personal quarrels and interminable recriminations. Nevertheless, he had to submit to the infliction of hearing the last words of debates which had been going on previous to his arrival. Rufinus tells us that daily sessions were held and that Arius was often summoned before the assembly; his opinions were seriously discussed and the opposing arguments attentively considered. The majority, especially those who were confessors of the Faith, energetically declared themselves against the impious doctrines of Arius. St. Athanasius assures us that the activities of the Council were nowise hampered by Constantine's presence. The Council did create the first formulation of the Creed. The Creed did conclude that Jesus was fully human and fully divine and was of the same substance of God the Father. The adhesion was general and enthusiastic. All the bishops save five declared themselves ready to subscribe to this formula, convinced that it contained the ancient faith of the Apostolic Church. Next month, we will focus on the First Council of Constantinople which was called in part to con- firm the Faith of the Nicaean Council and to continue to dispute Arianism. 7 Newest Saints Canonized on October 14th Meet the New Saints Pope Paul VI born Giovanni Battista Enrico Antonio Maria Montini (1897 – 1978) He served as Pope from 21 June 1963 to his death in 1978. Upon his election to the papacy, Montini took the name Paul VI. He re-convened the Second Vatican Council, which had automatically closed with the death of John XXIII. After the Council had concluded its work, Paul VI took charge of the interpretation and implementation of its mandates, often walking a thin line between the conflicting expectations of various groups within Catholicism.

  • Pope Paul VI (1897-1978) [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) Pope Paul VI (1897-1978) [1] By: Brind'Amour, Katherine Garcia, Benjamin Keywords: Catholicism [2] Popes [3] Contraception [4] Pope Paul VI [5], born Giovanni Battista Enrico Antonio Maria Montini, has been crucial to the clarification of Roman Catholic views on embryos and abortion [6] in recent history. His 1968 encyclical “Humanae Vitae” spoke to the regulation [7] of birth through various methods of contraception [8] and sterilization [9]. This encyclical, a result of Church hesitancy to initiate widespread discussion of the issue in a council of the Synod of Bishops, led to much controversy in the Church but established a firm Catholic position on the issues of birth control [10] and family planning [11]. Montini was born 26 September 1897 at Concesio in Lombardy. His father was an editor and lawyer, thus Montini came from an upper-class, well-educated family. He received his early schooling from the Jesuits in Brescia, joined the seminary in 1916, and was ordained in 1920. Shortly thereafter, he was sent to the University of Rome [12] and the Gregorian University to continue his studies, but soon transferred to Accademia dei Nobili Ecclesiastici in 1922, where he began studying diplomacy. In 1923 Montini was sent to Warsaw, Poland, to be the attaché of the nunciature, or “head of the region,” but an especially harsh winter forced him to return to Rome for health reasons. Back in Rome he was named Secretariat of State, a position he held for the next thirty years. During this period he also taught at the Accademia dei Nobili Ecclesiastici and was named chaplain of the Federation of Italian Catholic University Students.

All of our resources are entrusted to us not only for our own use, but also so that we can help others.

  • Saint Gianna Beretta Molla
    Saint Gianna Beretta Molla Another Italian that we can look up to is St Gianna Beretta Molla. She was born in the 1920’s. She went to school and studied to be a medical doctor and a surgeon. She joined the Saint Vincent de Paul Society when she was in university. She focused on helping mothers, babies, the elderly and the poor. She married in 1955 and gave birth to 4 children in the mid 1950’s. During her last pregnancy it was discovered that she had a tumor in her uterus. One of the options was to have the tumor removed. The doctors however advised that it would be best to abort the child. She decided to have the tumor removed. This was the only option to save the unborn child, but the risk of pregnancy related complications was high. When she went into labour, it was found she needed to deliver her child by caesarean section. She gave birth to a baby girl. Later Gianna developed peritonitis, an infection from the surgery and died 7 days after the child was born. Gianna never considered the possibility of aborting her child. She also repeatedly made it clear that if only one life could be saved, it should be the baby’s life. You could say she was a contemporary and ordinary woman. She liked fashionable clothes and valued education. She enjoyed the arts. Her husband said that Gianna’s life “was a nonstop search for the will of God for every decision and for every work, with prayer and meditation, Holy Mass, and the Eucharist.

Shea: Pope Paul VI and the "Mother of the Church" POPE PAUL VI AND THE "MOTHER OF THE CHURCH" Presidential Address by THE RT. REv. MSGR. GEoRGE W. SHEA, S.T.D. Among all the events of the past year, certainly the one of most abiding importance for Catholics was the promulgation by Pope Paul VI, on Nov. 21, 1964, of the Second Vatican Council's masterwork, the dogmatic constitution "On the Church." Specialists in the field of Mariology are particularly grate­ ful for the constitution's eighth and last chapter, "On the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, in the Mystery of Christ and of the Church." But they are hardly less grateful for the Holy Father's personal completion, as it were, of the doctrine of that chapter, when, in his discourse concluding the third session of the Council, he made explicit something which the chapter says only implicitly, namely, that Mary is "the Mother of the Church." On this subject Pope Paul said, in part: "By he promulgation of today's constitution, which has as its crown and summit a whole chapter dedicated to Our Lady, we can rightly affirm that the present session ends as an incomparable hymn of praise in honor of Mary.

Canonisation of Oscar Romero & New Diocesan Shrine On 14th October 2018, St Oscar Romero was canonised in Rome, alongside Pope St Paul VI. Archbishop Peter Smith issued a decree officially designating the "Romero Space" in St George's Cathedral a Diocesan Shrine. Those wishing to mark Romero's Canonisation are welcome to attend a National Mass of Thanksgiving which will take place in St George's Cathedral on Saturday 3rd November at 12.30pm. Archbishop Peter Smith will be the Principal Celebrant. All are welcome to the mass, (individuals, families, parishes, schools) and to visit the shrine. Let us savour the magnificent prayer, commonly attributed to St Oscar Romero, pronounced for the first time by Cardinal John Dearden but composed by Bishop Ken Untener. The Romero Prayer It helps, now and then, to step back and take the long view. The Kingdom is not only beyond our efforts; it is even beyond our vision. We accomplish in our lifetime only a fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God’s work. Nothing we do is complete, which is another way of saying that the kingdom always lies beyond us. No statement says all that could be said. No prayer fully expresses our faith. No confession brings perfection. No pastoral visit brings wholeness.
