ALBERT, THE CATHOLIC WITNESS Representatives of the Felician Sisters, the Sisters of St. Casimir, the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sisters of Sts. Cyril and Methodius– four religious congregations that have served Divine Redeemer Parish in Mount Carmel and the parishes from which it was formed 20 years ago – present portraits of their foundresses during the dedication of the Mother Maria Kaupas Center on April 12. The center, located in Mount Carmel, will serve as a home base for several initiatives and programs that focus on community service.

  • Venerable Mother Maria Kaupas, SSC
    Venerable Mother Maria Kaupas, SSC Our first group of inductees are members of the Sisters of St. Casimir, who founded Villa Joseph Marie High School in 1932 and operated our school into the 21st century. They continue to sponsor Villa Joseph Marie today, and have educated, influenced, and inspired thousands of Villa Alumnae through their commitment to faith, service, community, and the intellectual development of young women. It is only fitting that the Charter Member of our new Wall of Fame is Venerable Mother Maria Kaupas, the Foundress of the Sisters of St. Casimir and of Villa Joseph Marie High School. Mother Maria was a woman of extraordinary faith and courage. Born Casimira Kaupas in Lithuania in 1880, she immigrated to the U.S. as a teenager at the request of her brother, the pastor of a Lithuanian parish in Scranton, Pa. While she served as his housekeeper, she met Sisters for the first time and was attracted to the religious life. When she told her brother of her intent to enter a congregation, he informed her that the American Lithuanian clergy sought to establish an order of women religious for the purposes of educating youth and helping preserve Lithuanian language and customs. Casimira agreed to lead this new venture. She spent several years in preparation overseas, while seeking sponsorship in the U.S. Ultimately, Bishop John Shanahan of Harrisburg agreed to sponsor the congregation in Pennsylvania, and on August 29, 1907, the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Casimir was founded. Casimira desired that the new congregation would be named after the Blessed Mother, but Bishop Shanahan recommended that it be called the Sisters of St.

When a 7th Sunday of Easter believer realizes without doubt that God is love, it is a powerful moment. Being able to place our resurrection trust in this fundamental truth allows us to experience God’s presence in all of our experiences: the good and the bad, positive and negative, life enriching and destructive events we encounter. It is no wonder that St. Paul so accurately tells us that it is love that endures all things and lasts. How can God not endure or ever fade away? Because he is God, Jesus also guarded and protected his disciples as the endearing shepherd who always had their best in- terest at heart. If we become too immersed in the world, we Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed lose touch with these deeper realities. We can saying: “As you sent me into the world, so I become so preoccupied with preserving what we have created or think that we need, forgetting that sent them into the world. And I consecrate it is not building our city that really matters, but myself for them, so that they also may be God’s. Jesus clearly did not belong to the world consecrated in truth.” -Jn 17:18-19 and, by virtue of his resurrection, he tries to get us to understand that we do not either.

  • Birthday Tribute to Venerable Maria Kaupas
    JourneysJourneysVol. XXXV No. 1 SISTERS OF ST. CASIMIR Spring 2021 BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE TO VENERABLE MARIA KAUPAS by Sister Margaret Petcavage It was a birthday tribute that Casimira Kaupas (later Mother Maria) surely would have never envisioned. After more than a year’s work, “Miracle Hunter” director, Michael O’Neill, of “They Might Be Saints” series, completed the film, and Mother Maria’s life story was broadcast on EWTN. The half-hour TV documentary, splendidly filmed by EWTN’s photographers, aired on January 6, Mother Maria’s 141st birthday. A year earlier, most of the filming had taken place at the Motherhouse in Chicago, the place where Mother Maria had lived, and where she had died in 1940. Narration of the documentary is by General Superior Sister Regina Dubickas, Sister Margaret Pet- cavage, several dear friends who work with the Congre- Sister Margaret Petcavage, film narrator, discusses Mother gation’s ministries in Chicago, and Fr.

He’d made the two-hour drive to the National Mall Jan. 19 from his home in Martinsburg, West Virginia, not with a group on a bus pilgrimage, but only with his daughter Autumn and a small homemade placard emblazoned with “As a For- mer Fetus, I Oppose Abor- tion.” He stood out in his soli- tary approach, but York, who has attended previous marches, didn’t mind. “This is David versus Goliath, all right,” he said. “The media’s still pumping out some old stuff about hu- COURTESY OF YORK CATHOILC HIGH SCHOOL Students from York Catholic High School were among the numerous busloads of March for Life participants from the Diocese of Har- man rights.

But, you know, you have to be patient in life.” In remarks broadcast to the March for Life from the White House Rose Garden, President Donald Trump said that his administration “will always defend the very first right in the Decla- ration of Independence, and that is the right to life.” “Every unborn child is a precious gift from God,” he said. He praised the pro- lifers for having “such big hearts and tireless devotion to make sure parents have the support they need to choose life.” On a bright, sunny and almost spring-like morning highlighted by the presi- dent’s remarks and from the words of members of Con- gress, the marchers had all made their travel plans long before they knew the list of speakers.
