An expression of warm thanks is extended to the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City for such a lavish gift from God. More than 3,000 attended the consecration at the Governor’s Hall at the Statehouse Convention Center. Many priests, religious and lay people from Oklahoma arrived. Bishop Taylor’s parents, siblings, and a relative from Guam were also present. Parishioners from Sacred Heart Parish and St. Monica Parish were seated behind the Oklahoma priests. “You don’t know what you are getting,” Wilma Moisant from Sacred Heart said. “I have known Father Taylor since he was in the seminary back in the ’80s.” Moisant told of a terrible time in her life when she discovered her son dead in his home. “I called Father Taylor,” Moisant said. “He came right over and stayed with the family.” St. Monica parishioners, Marie and Scott Connolly, told of Bishop Taylor’s love of hiking and being outdoors. “Bishop Taylor is a man of prayer and faithful to the gospels,” Marie Connolly said. “When he asks someone to do a task, he lets them do it,” Scott Connolly added. Shelly Ferguson, also from St. Monica Parish, said everyone who has met Bishop Taylor feels they have met someone extraordinary. The congregation joined the 300-voice choir in singing “Ode to Joy” when the procession began. Accompanied by musicians from the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, music in both English and Spanish filled the statehouse. “This is the fifth bishop of the diocese I have known Bishop Anthony B. Taylor smiles as he sits in his chair, the “cathedra,” completing the installation personally,” Joe Beck of Christ the King Parish in Little rite as the Diocese of Little Rock’s seventh bishop. The ordination and installation took place in Rock said. “It is an honor to know that many bishops. I just front of 3,400 people at the Statehouse Convention Center in Little Rock.

That responsibility includes ensuring ocean wildlife can safely swim Pacific Ocean waters without being killed in commercial fishing gear. We, the undersigned 24,494 residents of the United States (including 6,106 residents of California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington), urge you to prevent the authorization of pelagic longline fishing gear off the U.S. Pacific Coast. Use of this gear would lead to the entanglement and death of sea turtles, dolphins, whales, sea birds, sharks and many other important ocean species. Pelagic longlines used to catch swordfish, which can reach 60 miles in length and trail thousands of baited hooks, will inevitably ensnare and drown many other unsuspecting marine animals. Such a U.S. West Coast-based pelagic longline fishery, whether deep-set or shallow-set, has no place among the diversity of ocean life of the Northeast Pacific, particularly species already endangered with extinction. Pacific leatherback sea turtles, for example, migrate 6,000 miles from their nesting beaches to feed in the productive waters off the U.S.

    The Sacred Heart Church 1882 - 1982 A Short History SACRED HEART CHURCH PENICUIK 1882 - 1982 A Short History Acknowledgement: To Michael McGowan who wrote and researched this short history of the Sacred Heart Church, we are deeply indebted. We appreciate all the effort, time and travel with which he involved himself, in its compilation. We are sorry he did not live to see his efforts in print. He will be remembered by all who read this booklet. May he rest in peace. M.J. THE PARISH: In the "New Statistical Account of Scotland (1839-41)" the Rev. Scott Moncrieff mentions that from the 12th century to the Reformation the Parish of Penicuik continued as an independent parsonage; the grant of the living was in the hands of the Lord of the Manor. The Manor was held by a family who assumed their surname from it and were patrons of the Church. Some of the pre-reformation clergymen were: 1296 - Walter Edgar 1319 - Ricardus de Suthorpe 1448 - Alex. Vans 1472 - John Quitela 1550 - Archibald Robertson The last pre-reformation cleric was appointed in 1556 and was a relative of the patron. His name was William Penycuike. He continued in office for seven years after the Reformation and lived in Penicuik until the end of the 16th century. These clergymen were, of course Catholic, and probably were private chaplains to the Lord of the Manor. There is no record of any sort of church being situated in Penicuik itself until mention is made in the "Minutes of the Kirk Session of Penicuik" of a decree of the Commissioners for Plantation of Kirks, dated 30th January I618, annexing to the Kirk of Pennycooke the lands of Mount Lothian and St.

    Sooner Catholic Serving the People of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City Volume 37, Number 1 * January 9, 2011 Welcome Archbishop Paul S. Coakley Fourth Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City By Ray Dyer The Sooner Catholic OKLAHOMA CITY — Archbishop-elect Paul S. Coakley said serving God in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City will not be noticeably different than serving Him in the Diocese of Salina, where he has served as bishop for the past six years. The “challenges will be similar,” said the archbishop-elect on Dec. 16 when he was introduced as the suc- cessor to the retiring Archbishop Eusebius J. Beltran. Installation Feb. 11 in Edmond, St. John the Baptist “The Diocese of Salina is a rural area, very similar to the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City,” Archbishop-elect Coakley said. “The greatest difference will be the large urban area of Oklahoma City. I did not have this kind of urban setting in Salina.” He said both areas deal with aging popu- lations, agriculture-based economies and families and individuals search- ing for a new and better life. One thing that won’t change, the new archbishop-elect said, would be his time behind the steering wheel. “As in Kansas, I’ll be doing a lot of driving,” he said, referring to Archbishop-elect Paul S.

  • 1900-1902 (Pdf)
    SELECTED DEATH NOTICES FROM JACKSON COUNTY, KANSAS, NEWSPAPERS VOLUME V 1900-1902 COMPILED BY DAN FENTON 2003 INTRODUCTION At the beginning of the time period covered by this volume, there were four newspapers being published in Holton, The Holton Weekly Recorder, The Holton Weekly Signal, The Tribune, and The Kansas Sunflower. The Soldier Clipper, and the Whiting Journal continued in their respective cities. In Circleville, the Circleville News ceased publication on November 8, 1900, and was soon replaced by the Jackson County World, which began publication on December 7, 1900. In Hoyt, the Hoyt Sentinel began publication on April 12, 1902. In Denison, the Denison Herald began publication on September 25, 1902. As noted in the previous volumes, not every death reported in these newspapers is included in this book, only those seeming to have some connection with Jackson county. A death notice could appear in different newspapers and from different sources within a.paper. One principal notice is listed with excerpts from other accounts being used only when there is differing or additional information. Accolades to the deceased success as a Christian, parent and citizen have been deleted when possible, because of space consideration. Three ellipses denote the deletion of part of a sentence and four that of a sentence or even paragraphs. Each death notice is numbered consecutively and it is this number that appears in the index, not the page number. This is an all surname index that I hope will help the researcher identify family relationships that otherwise would be hidden. The index begins on page 893.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Of Life and History by an authorized editor of CrossWorks. Between Piety and Polity The American Catholic Response to the First Atomic Bombs Emma Catherine Scally ’18 In August of 1945 the United States dropped the “Little Boy” and the “Fat Man” on the respective cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, causing a combined death toll of at least 135,000. Although the atomic bombings in 1945 have not been excluded from the United States’ contemporary national narrative, one of the more underemphasized aspects of this history is the unsettling and often unclear relationship between Catholicism and American nuclear politics that began in 1945 and extended throughout the entire Cold War. Of the 135,000 Japanese who died from burns, radiation, and other atomic bomb-related injuries, at least 7,000 of those casualties were Japanese Catholics, though that estimate seems conservative when one remembers that the “Fat Man” was dropped in Japan’s most Christian-populated city and even landed next to the Urakami Catholic Cathedral.1 The Japanese Catholic victims of the “Fat Man,” however, were probably unaware that the weapon which would ultimately decimate a large proportion of their Catholic community was blessed by Father George Zabelka, a Catholic Chaplain in the U.S.
