  • LIFE Portfolio Course Moves Beyond Class Experience to Support
    Spring 2015 Greetings from Hoffmann Hall! During this past academic year the Division of Business and Economics undertook two new initiatives. The first is described in our lead story. Students from across campus benefited from the investing acumen of our finance majors by being awarded a portion of the proceeds gained though the Loras Investment Fund for the Endowment (LIFE) portfolio class. The second initiative was the creation of faculty-led discussion groups. These groups provided students an opportunity to consider the impact that Catholic Social Teaching can have on their lives. Through the generosity of a benefactor, this semester’s CST initiative will bring two noted scholars to campus: Dr. Andrew Abela of Catholic University, and Dr. Patrick Murphy, from the University of Notre Dame. I believe you will find this issue of our newsletter very informative—filled with news of exciting activities and meaningful student accomplishments. As always, I entreat you to join our LinkedIn member group. It is a great way to stay connected to your school and its alumni. Be More. Be Loras. --Dr. Doug Gambralll, Ed.D.

  • 2018 Iowa Religious Leaders Statement on Climate Change
    We can no longer wait… 2018 Iowa Religious Leaders Statement on Climate Change Global climate change is one of the most pressing moral challenges facing our world. Today, we call on Iowans to find and implement solutions to climate change. As religious leaders representing diverse faith traditions in Iowa, we offer the following shared, core beliefs that compel, empower, and guide faithful action. As people of faith: • We must act to solve climate change because it threatens our brothers and sisters in our neighborhoods, throughout our state, across our country, and around the world. We are all neighbors put at risk by a changing climate. • We can find solutions to climate change by embracing a spirit of hope. Earth sustains our lives. Creation provides a world of abundance. This abundance offers us the path out of our dependence on fossil fuels and the environmental destruction associated with greenhouse gas pollution. • We know climate justice requires we bear each other’s burdens equitably. It is not fair that climate change is affecting most those who are vulnerable and least able to adapt: the poor, the young, the elderly, the sick, and those living in developing countries. Solutions to climate change will unleash new economic opportunities the benefits of which must be shared equitably. • We are required to work with nature to find solutions to climate change. We are part of nature, not independent from it. Our call to be stewards of the Earth, to care for creation that nourishes us all, demands we work with nature rather than against it and share our first fruits with those who need them most.

  • Parish History Clermont, Iowa
    3/12/2015 Saint Peter's Parish History Clermont, Iowa This is the html version of the file http://www.stjosephtheworkercluster.com/sp_history.pdf. Google automatically generates html versions of documents as we crawl the web. Page 1 r Saint Peter's Parish History Clermont, Iowa The history ofSt. Peter's Parish, Clermont, Iowa, starts with the first Catholic settlers to make this locality their home. Peter McGuire and his sister Bridget from County Kerry Ireland and Michael Fleming and his wife came to the area in 1842. Under the direction of Bishop Loras, Father O'Byrne from Elkader traveled to Claremont to administer the sacraments and say mass. At first, St. Peter's Parish Masses were said in the homes of the first settlers, Peter McGuire and Michael Fleming. Father 0 'Byrne also said mass in all the surrounding territory. Early in 1853 the Claremont Catholic community was severed from the Elkader Parish. Bishop Loras sent Father McCullough to Claremont to serve as the pastor. Father McCullough was instructed by the Bishop to secure sixty acres ofland from the U.S. Government four miles northeast of Claremont. The church and rectory were erected with seven acres laid aside for cemetery plots. Bishop Loras sent his nephew Father DeCailly. Father DeCailly oversaw the erection of the first Catholic Church. About this first church we know the following: it was built on a rolling bluff overlooking a rocky creek; it was built of logs, cut and donated by the early settlers. It was a rugged structure, measuring 20 x 30 feet, with earthen floor and without ornaments except for the altar, which was made of pine boards carried by oxcart from McGregor.

  • Alma Mater – Mother of Souls
    August 20 2019 Vol. 39 No. 1 In This Issue: THE PRESIDENT Fr. Tom Ascheman, SVD New Faculty 3 IELI 6 Alma Mater – Mother of Souls Dates to Remember 7 Alma Mater is a phrase used in English speaking countries to refer with some affection to one’s school, college or university. Many schools also have a special Alma Mater song that praises the institution as a source of knowledge, values and vision. A direct translation of the Latin words would be Alma = Nourishing and Mater = Mother. In subsequent centuries, alma took on the additional meaning of soul/spirit in Italian, Birthday Corner Spanish and Portuguese. Perhaps, then it is not too much to translate Alma Mater as August Mother of Souls or Spirit Mother. 20 Fr. Sam Cunningham, SVD 21 Hoang Do Divine Word College aspires to be an Alma Mater for missionaries, a Soul 22 Amy Hartman Mother, a Spirit Mother. The College offers 26 Jacqueline Hunter classes, practices for personal growth, an environment of intercultural living, 26 Bro. Anthony Kreinus, SVD encouragement of spiritual reflection, and opportunities for apostolic service. All of these varied experiences are intended to work together to educate and form missionaries. Core Competencies. This semester some new language is being introduced to help us think of our life together as “mothering missionary souls.” Last year, the faculty and administration began a far-reaching conversation about core competencies. In May 2019, the DWC Board of Trustees approved five core competencies that were identified in the conversation. They are: • Critical Thinking Acuity • Social & Global Responsibility • Communication Effectiveness • Missionary Discipleship • Intercultural Competence In the coming months I will have the opportunity to write briefly about each of these core competencies.
