    Good evening everyone. Welcome to the first member call of the 2019-2021 NCCW year. I am Pat Voorhes, NCCW President Elect. Tonight we are going to remember and reminisce about the 2019 NCCW Convention. We will begin tonight with part of the prayer Pope Francis wrote for us Christians to ask for inspiration to take up the commitment to creation set before us by the Gospel of Jesus: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit God of love…. I am joined tonight by first timers Wendy Plawski and Bridgett Adler from the Superior Diocese; first timer Karan Curtis from the Salt Lake City Diocese; NCCW Past President Bobbie Hunt; Susan Porter, Wasatch Deanery President, and Marianne Mulvihill 2nd Vice President for the SLC DCCW.

I also have remarks from other attendees who could not be with us tonight but wanted to share. The 99th Annual Convention of the National Council of Catholic Women was held at the Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel & Convention Center. 600 women and priests gathered together to celebrate the theme, NCCW Caring for God’s Creation.

  • HARBINGER Open Minds Open Hearts
    the HARBINGER open minds open hearts VOLUME LXXIII| APRIL 11, 2021 | No. 48B From the Pews, Mark Matlock THE GREATER GOOD Few will recall the name Dolores Hart. Born in 1938, she was a successful actress in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Her film debut was opposite Elvis Presley in “Loving You.” After that, Dolores made 10 films in five years including “King Creole” and “Where the Boys Are.” She also acted on Broadway, garnering a Tony Award nomination for “The Pleasure of His Company.” Dolores also fell in love, became engaged and planned her wedding. By all material accounts, she had it all: fame, fortune and love. So what happened to Dolores Hart? To help answer that question, read Acts 4:32-35. “Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common. With great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold. They laid it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.” Believing in Christ, the apostles knew “the greater good” was served in following God’s son on his journey of teaching and salvation. Imagine if someone came up and asked you to leave your family, sell your possessions and follow a young, scruffy-looking teacher? Mildly put, it would be a challenge to say yes.

  • Life Together in One Heart Chronicle
    Life Together in One Heart Chronicle Contemporary scholarship reminds us that Benedict did not "invent" Christian monasticism in the West, nor did he create his monastic vision out of whole cloth. He drew on the riches of monastic communities and tradition which preceded him, arranging the inherited wisdom in a fresh way, and giving it the stamp of his own personality and vision. Benedict clearly saw himself as part of a larger monastic tradition in the church, both eastern and western, and sought to pass it on freshly in new circumstances. Both at the beginning of his own Rule for Monks (in the Prologue), and again at the end (in Chapter 73), Benedict recalls the monastic teaching of Saint Basil the Great (330-379 C.E.). He frames his own "little rule for beginners" with references to the spirituality of this great monastic leader of the Eastern Church, and with the encouragement to learn from his writings. Basil's great passion was the common life: it is only there, he taught, in the ordinary daily life with others, that we have any chance of growing into persons and communities increasingly permeated with the values of the Gospel. Without others, how do we grow in humility and patience, in solidarity and respect? Without others with whom we share life, how will we learn to embrace practical service to the neighbor? As Basil asked so pointedly, "Whose feet will we wash?" How else will we become a living body, breathing together in rhythm with the Breath of the Holy Spirit? As Christians and as monks, we hope to embrace Basil's challenge -- one which Benedict clearly understood as central to our vocation.

  • Chch Article July 16
    What Christ Church Cathedral Means To Me, by Sister John Mary Adshead. I am a novice at the Benedictine Abbey of Regina Laudis in Connecticut. Later this year I will be professing my monastic vows, a key step in my monastic life. At my place in choir, there is a photo of Christ Church Cathedral: not as it was, but as it is now, with its gaping wound a symbol of a still suffering City. It was in this cathedral that God first spoke to my heart, and as we chant our prayers each day at the Abbey, I pray for the Cathedral’s restoration, and take this prayer with me as I move into vows. I was born in Christchurch in 1967. My parents, Samuel and Katherine Adshead, were Lecturers at the University of Canterbury for almost 30 years and devout Anglicans. The Cathedral was our parish, and we attended church there every Sunday, but its place in my life went far beyond this role. As a girl at Saint Margaret’s I sang in our Christmas carol concerts there (and sometimes read lessons from the “eagle” pulpit); we also sang there with Christ’s College. I took organ lessons with David Childs, and to play a Bach fugue within the resonance of a neo-Gothic cathedral was an awe-inspiring experience for a young girl. In addition, I would regularly meet my father after school outside the Cathedral, to take the bus home, and my girlfriend Shelley and I, as teenagers, would often arrange to meet at the top of the spire before going off shopping, just because it seemed the right place to start.

  • The Catholic Bishops and the Rise of Evangelical Catholics
    religions Article The Catholic Bishops and the Rise of Evangelical Catholics Patricia Miller Received: 27 October 2015; Accepted: 22 December 2015; Published: 6 January 2016 Academic Editor: Timothy A. Byrnes Senior Correspondent, Religion Dispatches; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-703-519-8379 Abstract: White Catholics are increasingly trending toward the Republican Party, both as voters and candidates. Many of these Republican-leaning Catholics are displaying a more outspoken, culture-war oriented form of Catholicism that has been dubbed Evangelical Catholicism. Through their forceful disciplining of pro-choice Catholics and treatment of abortion in their quadrennial voting guides, as well as their emphasis on “religious liberty”, the U.S. bishops have played a major role in the rise of these Evangelical Catholics. Keywords: U.S. Catholic bishops; abortion; Republican; Democratic; voting 1. Introduction While the Catholic Church is associated with opposition to legalized abortion, a review of the historical record shows that the anti-abortion movement was largely fomented by the Catholic hierarchy and fueled by grassroots Evangelical opposition to abortion [1]. Lay Catholics have largely tracked general public opinion on abortion, with just over half of white Catholics saying it should be legal; polls have consistently found that only about 13% of Catholics support the position of the Catholic Church that abortion should be illegal in all circumstances [2,3]. As a result, Catholic voters have been comfortable supporting candidates who favor abortion rights, adding to their reputation as swing voters who have backed both successful Republican and Democratic presidential candidates. However, a substantial subset of white Catholic voters now appears more firmly committed to the Republican Party.
