  • History of St. Louis Parish (Extracted from “Dedication of St
    History of St. Louis Parish (extracted from “Dedication of St. Louis School and Convent, Groveton, Sunday September 16, 1956, Most Rev. Peter L. Ireton, D.D, Bishop of Richmond, Presiding) St. Louis Parish in Groveton The history of Catholicism in and around the Alexandria area goes back many many years. Prior to the Revolutionary War, the Catholic religion was proscribed [forbidden] in Virginia. Priests from Maryland would cross the Potomac to minister secretly to their co-religionists. The first public Mass was probably said by the French chaplains of Rochambeau’s army, a part of which wintered in Alexandria after the surrender of Cornwallis in 1781. After the War, Catholics discussed plans for a formal place of worship in Alexandria. The first Catholic Church in this part of Virginia was finally built in 1793. For many years, Jesuit priests from Georgetown University took care of St. Mary’s, the new parish in Alexandria. The parish continued to grow during these years and in 1891 Father Cutler, a priest of the Diocese of Richmond was appointed pastor. He was succeeded by Father Smet, Father McKeefry, Msgr. Rankin, and Msgr. Stephens [the present pastor in 1956]. These priests cared for a parish that included not only Alexandria but also a large area outside the city, including what is now St. Louis parish in Groveton [now known as St. Louis Catholic Church]. Father Louis Smet, in particular, seemed to be interested in the Groveton area. Under his direction, Mrs. L. E. Tull, who lived in Groveton, began a Sunday school for the Catholic children of the area.

  • The Concept of “Sister Churches” in Catholic-Orthodox Relations Since
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Concept of “Sister Churches” In Catholic-Orthodox Relations since Vatican II A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Will T. Cohen Washington, D.C. 2010 The Concept of “Sister Churches” In Catholic-Orthodox Relations since Vatican II Will T. Cohen, Ph.D. Director: Paul McPartlan, D.Phil. Closely associated with Catholic-Orthodox rapprochement in the latter half of the 20 th century was the emergence of the expression “sister churches” used in various ways across the confessional division. Patriarch Athenagoras first employed it in this context in a letter in 1962 to Cardinal Bea of the Vatican Secretariat for the Promotion of Christian Unity, and soon it had become standard currency in the bilateral dialogue. Yet today the expression is rarely invoked by Catholic or Orthodox officials in their ecclesial communications. As the Polish Catholic theologian Waclaw Hryniewicz was led to say in 2002, “This term…has now fallen into disgrace.” This dissertation traces the rise and fall of the expression “sister churches” in modern Catholic-Orthodox relations and argues for its rehabilitation as a means by which both Catholic West and Orthodox East may avoid certain ecclesiological imbalances toward which each respectively tends in its separation from the other. Catholics who oppose saying that the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church are sisters, or that the church of Rome is one among several patriarchal sister churches, generally fear that if either of those things were true, the unicity of the Church would be compromised and the Roman primacy rendered ineffective.

    Partners in Prayer A Prayer Resource for Mission Five Marks of Mission Mission is the creating, reconciling and transforming action of God. The five Marks of Mission help us to think about God’s mission locally and globally. ABM has adapted the Marks of Mission from the Anglican Consultative Council. Think about what these Marks of Mission mean for you. ABM grounds all of its work in one or more of these Marks of Mission: Witness to Christ’s saving, forgiving and reconciling love for all people Build1 welcoming,2 transforming communities of faith 3Stand in solidarity with the poor and needy Challenge violence, injustice and oppression, and work4 for peace and reconciliation Protect, care for and renew life on our planet Front cover: Sister Doreen from the Chrisitan5 Care Centre walks along the beach. © ABM/Julianne Stewart 2012.

Therefore, it is indeed an action which can touch the heart of God and through God it can reach everywhere. In fact, we can participate in God’s mission locally and globally through our prayers. The Prayer Diary is like a map which can help us to reach all places or areas where ABM has been doing God’s mission. Moreover, through our daily prayers, which are our integrative actions, we can join hands with ABM and its partners to be able to accomplish God’s will in those areas. We thank God for giving us this Prayer Diary to participate in God’s mission together with ABM and Partners through our daily prayers.

  • The Catholic and Evangelical Origins of the Anglican Franciscans
    "The Catholic and Evangelical Origins of the Anglican Franciscans: how receptive ecumenism can work and where it might be leading us" Fr Thomas Matthew Sharp nTSSF SCP [email protected] – [email protected] Durham University – Newcastle Cathedral – Anglican Third Order Franciscans The reception of Roman liturgy into the Church of England was largely facilitated by the Anglican Franciscan communities and their disobedience (or flexible relationship with the spirit of the canons of the Church of England) and by their background both catholic and evangelical. They provide a model for receptive ecumenism within experimental communities and projects which can test elements of reception before their adoption into wider church structures. On the 13th of March 2013 as we sat eating dinner at Hilfield Friary, Brother Sam burst in. "We've got a new Pope," he shouted, "and his name's Francis!" Much laughter and a few cheers. And the voice of Brother Hugh cutting through it all: "He's not my Pope!" Ecumenical rubber meets the Anglican road. Today I want to offer the evolution and influence of SSF, in its sometimes ecumenically messy way, as fruit for the wider church as we attempt to grow together in unity. Defining Terms Before we begin, let us start with some terminology. I won't describe the Church of England as "protestant", partly because the meaning of the term is so contested within Anglicanism, but really because I want to avoid the term protestant being applied as "not catholic" or even worse "against what is catholic." I don't want, from the very start, to set the Church of England and the Church of Rome against one another conceptually.

  • Dear Members of Congress, As Americans and People of Faith, We
    Dear Members of Congress, As Americans and people of faith, we strive to love our neighbor and uphold the innate human dignity of each person. Dreamers worship in our pews, study in our schools, and work in our communities. For many, this is where they learned to ride a bike, celebrate our nation’s holidays, and serve their communities. They are mothers, fathers, teachers, nurses, lawyers, scientists, and leaders of a new generation of Americans – and they make our nation stronger. It was an immoral decision to rescind Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) before legislation was enacted to protect them from deportation and offer them an opportunity to flourish. As religious leaders across faith traditions, we call on Congress to act today. Dreamers cannot wait, our businesses cannot wait, and our country cannot wait. We urge all Members of Congress to immediately pass a clean Dream Act of 2017 (S. 1615/H.R. 3440), which provides a long overdue pathway to citizenship for immigrant youth. DACA’s termination crosses a moral line. Despite the purported six-month delay in enforcement, the consequences of terminating DACA are immediate, devastating, and profound. No new applications are being considered, and current recipients will see their protection revoked starting in March -- sooner if those whose status expires before then were unable to pay nearly $500 in fees or ensure the Department of Homeland Security received their renewal requests in less than a month. Leaving DACA recipients and other Dreamers in limbo violates our nation’s values and sends a message of exclusion to immigrant youth, some of whom do not have family or a support system in their birth country.
