  • Diocese of Baton Rouge Year of St. Joseph & 60TH Anniversary
    Diocese Of Baton Rouge Year of St. Joseph & 60TH Anniversary Curriculum For Catholic Schools & Parish Schools of Religion OVERVIEW “On July 22, 1961, Blessed Pope John XXIII established the Diocese of Baton Rouge, comprising the twelve Louisiana civil parishes located in south Central Louisiana. The Holy Father named St. Joseph Church in the See city, built in 1853-1855 and renovated many times since, to be the new diocese’ Cathedral” (https://diobr.org/history) On December 8, 2020, Pope Francis promulgated the Year of St. Joseph in an Apostolic Letter entitled, “Patris Corde.” This means “With a Father’s Love” in English. https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_letters/documents/papa-francesco-lettera- ap_20201208_patris-corde.html This lesson plan has been created to enable students in the Diocese of Baton Rouge to learn about the history of this Diocese and reflect on the role of the Bishop of Baton Rouge in their faith life. Students will also learn story of St. Joseph, Patron of the Diocese, apply his virtues to present-day life, and become aware of the numerous local churches named for St. Joseph, as well as devotions and traditions dedicated to him. This lesson plan is designed to be extended over several class periods if desired. Teachers of the various grade levels will need to adapt this packet of material to their specific situation. Objectives • The learner will acquire knowledge about: o Scriptural foundations of the Holy Catholic Church o God’s Plan for the Church as taught in the Catechism of the Catholic Church o Mission of the Church o History of the Diocese of Baton Rouge o Role of the bishop in a diocese o Facts about the bishops assigned to the Diocese of Baton Rouge.

We do so in three ways. 1. The Foundation manages charitable accounts for fund donors. On behalf of them, we distributed more than $44 million to nonprofits in 2018. The grants list starts on page 46. 2. Our donors want the greatest return for the community, so the Foundation’s Strategic Consulting Services division helps nonprofits with strategy, capacity and fundraising. Nonprofits we’ve assisted include Companion Animal Alliance, SportsBR, Gaitway Therapeutic Horsemanship, Connections for Life and USS KIDD Veterans Museum. 3. The Foundation takes on civic projects to improve the quality of life in the region. Our Civic Leadership Initiatives staff partners on these long-term projects with residents, public agencies, nonprofits and elected officials. Projects include better services for children with developmental disabilities, improving K-12 education by helping to recruit the best school operators in the country, justice system reform, leading a master plan to save and enhance the City Park/University Lakes, starting bikeshare to offer more transportation choices, and advocating for inter-city rail between Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

  • History of St. Chrysostom's Would Be Complete Without Paying Tribute to Frederick Spalding
    The History of St. Chrysostom’s Episcopal Church HISTORY OF ST. CHRYSOSTOM’S CHURCH CHAPTER 1 Thaddeus A. Snively: First Years of the Parish, 1893-1907 Sunday, January 15, 1893. "CROWDED AND COLD. Marked Characteristics of Nearly All Street-Cars," read the lead story in that day's Chicago Tribune. "TRIALS OF WEST-SIDERS. The Early Morning Service Declared To Be Wretched. NORTH SIDE NO BETTER OFF. Even the South Side Lines Are Said To Be Falling from Grace." The poor service must have been a particular hardship during the previous days; a cold spell had gripped the city and the entire eastern third of the country for most of the preceding week, with Chicago temperatures reaching -12 by midnight on the 14th (they would drop to -16 for several hours early Sunday morning before moderating later in the day). Chicagoans suffering from the extreme weather could plan to purchase on the following day, according to their budgets, real mink capes at $25.00, astrakhan fur reefers at $20.00 or military ulsters at $7.50 from Schlesinger and Mayer's at the southeast corner of State and Madison Streets; men's winter underwear at $1.25 and 49c could be bought at the Hub on the northwest corner of State and Jackson. (Those persons preferring to shop at Marshall Field's would have had to wait a day to see what was available, since Field's did not at that time advertise on Sundays.) Much news space was devoted to the forthcoming World's Columbian Exposition: a gang of French crooks with plans to "work the Fair" had just been arrested, and an article by Caroline S.

  • Baton Rouge Area Foundation, 2005 Annual Report
    Baton Rouge Area Foundation, 2005 Annual Report As Hurricane Katrina, a massive, slow-moving storm, crossed Florida and entered the Gulf of Mexico on August 28th, the National Weather Service issued an urgent warning: “…devastating damage expected…a most powerful hurricane with unprecedented strength…most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks…” By August 29th, most residents of the greater New Orleans area had evacuated— primarily via I-10, either to or through Baton Rouge. The Baton Rouge Area Foundation, dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in Louisiana’s capital region, began planning its response—hoping that Baton Rouge would only have to serve as a temporary refuge, sheltering our neighbors for a few nights before they could return home. We endured a night of increasingly powerful wind and rain, nervously waiting— Katrina lingering just off the coast until the early morning hours. Foyer, Chalmette, St. Bernard Parish By daybreak, Katrina lashed Louisiana and Mississippi, churning through the brackish waters and destroying hundreds of miles of wetlands, barrier islands, and reefs. Thousands of homes and businesses were destroyed. Towns across the region were rendered unrecognizable as hundred-year-old landmarks were wiped away, some pushed miles inland by a devastating storm surge. It appeared, though, that New Orleans had been spared. By 8 a.m., troubling, fragmented reports began surfacing—claiming that the levees had failed, and that New Orleans was flooding. Soon those reports were verified, and those of us with power watched the first images of a flooded Crescent City in disbelief. Searching for Survivors, September 8, 2005, Gentilly, New Orleans Realizing that much of Louisiana had been badly damaged and that an unprecedented relief effort would be necessary, the Baton Rouge Area Foundation began organizing its resources and planning its first steps.

  • Nurturing Our Community for 25 Years
    The Community Foundation of Southeastern Connecticut Nurturing our Community for 25 years 1983 — 2008 The Community Foundation of Southeastern Connecticut 1 community commitment 2 The Community Foundation of Southeastern Connecticut What I’ve learned from you. Since I joined the Community Foundation 13 years ago, I’ve been continually impressed by how deeply you care about this region. It may be your town, it may be the shoreline, or a single high school or library. Perhaps your family has been here for generations; maybe you first started living here after college. It doesn’t seem to matter. It’s about loving where you live. I’m biased, it’s true. I come in contact with the most caring, most generous of you. You come to the Community Foundation, I think, because of your desire to give something back. You rarely give because you have accumulated great wealth or are seeking tax deductions, I’ve found. Instead, you are invariably moved by a wellspring of gratitude and a strong sense of personal responsibility. I choke up when a family apologizes that their gift ‘isn’t big enough’. When the wife says, “We’ve had such a good life here,” and the husband adds, “Our children Our mission are doing just fine on their own.” I am thrilled that the Community Foundation is to has the unique structure in place to preserve this generous spirit forever. transform This commemorative book honors several ‘old timers’ who — a quarter our region into of a century ago — understood the character of the people of this region a more vital, and the promise of a community foundation.

MPhil Thesis in Theology Submitted by Thomas Patrick Godwin Flynn Supervised by Dr Nigel Zimmermann October 2014 Abstract Ever since the emergence of the independent Church of England in the sixteenth century, the Catholic Church has treated its orders as invalid. This practice was affirmed in 1896 by Leo XIII who for the first time published authoritative reasons for the practice. He has been widely misunderstood, not least in the formal response of the English Archbishops (1897).
