Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

History Alternatives by Time Period" Is Broken Apart Into Subjects and ALL the Titles I've Found So Far, with Their Reading Levels
HISTORY READING ALTERNATIVES PDF: Caswell 3 Laura Berquist approved sharing this list but because she hasn't reviewed all of these books, she just wanted to make sure it was made clear that it's the work of Deanna Caswell, not MODG. Deanna created lists of all the history books in the 2nd - 5th grade MODG history lesson plans determining reading levels by using what her home state of TN uses: AcceleratedReader level, http://www.arbookfind.com/ . Then she researched alternatives for students who are struggling or want something more advanced. She explains below what the document covers. I think you'll find it very helpful when you're trying to see the grade level for which a particular book is written. If your child is struggling w/the suggested book, you can look for a book more in line w/his reading ability. It's good to have a mix of challenging reads and easy reads. If you are busy and neither you nor an older sibling can sit down to read a suggested book, you can find an alternative book that the child can read. **** The list "MODG Recommendations" is the reading levels for all the books in the syllabi, her originals and alternatives. This is so the parent can identify HER recommendations first and see if they are in the child's level. The lists are long because Laura recommends some series. It's ONLY Laura's listed books. Bolded titles are the ones in the lesson plans. Not-bolded are the one she lists as alternatives and are not in the lesson plans.

The Contribution of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917) to Catholic Educational Practice in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries
The Contribution of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917) to Catholic Educational Practice in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries Maria Patricia Williams Ph D Thesis University College London Institute of Education 1 I, Maria Patricia Williams confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract My thesis evaluates the educational practice of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917). Cabrini, a schoolteacher from Lombardy, founded the Institute of Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (MSC) in Codogno, Italy in 1880. When she died, a United States citizen in Chicago, USA, she had established 70 houses in Europe and the Americas. One thousand women had joined the MSC. Her priority was to work with some of the estimated thirteen million Italians who emigrated between 1880 and 1915. The literature review considers the relatively little work in the history of education on Catholic educational practice. The research addresses three questions: 1. How did Mother Cabrini understand Catholic educational practice? 2. How can Mother Cabrini’s understanding of Catholic educational practice be seen in the work of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries? 3. How far did Mother Cabrini develop a coherent approach to Catholic educational practice? A multiple case study approach is used, focussing on the educational practice of Cabrini and the MSC in Rome, London and New Orleans, within the transnational context of their Institute.

St. Frances Xavier Cabrini: Dismissed and Dissed?
St. Frances Xavier Cabrini: Dismissed and dissed? Dorothy Day supposedly uttered that famous phrase, “Don’t call me a saint. I don’t want to be dismissed so easily.” Day, of course, now has her own cause for sainthood. And she was deeply devoted to many saints, and once said that we’re all called to sainthood. But she had a point about saints being dismissed easily. Case in point is the recent brouhaha in New York over a statue to St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first U.S. citizen to be canonized. You’ve probably heard the story: The city of New York has monuments all over the place, but there’s a woeful gap in the number of women versus men so honored. The first lady of New York, Chirlane McCray, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s spouse, headed up a commission with the intent of narrowing that gap. Called the “She Built NYC” project, the commission decided to ask New Yorkers for their input on which women should be honored with a statue. So far, so good. New Yorkers nominated some 320 women. And the big winner? Mother Cabrini, with 219 votes. Sad to say, however, when the commission picked seven winners to be memorialized around the city with monuments costing taxpayers about $5 million, St. Frances Cabrini didn’t make the cut. Why not? Part of the intent of the project was to raise awareness of women of color, a group often overlooked and undervalued. So, one excellent selection was Shirley Chisholm, America’s first black congresswomen.

Kalawao County
OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS RESEARCH DIVISION Kalawao County Moloka‘i, Hawaiÿi The land inclines sharply to the lofty mountains and the nearly mile-high summit of Mount Kamakou, then ends abruptly with emerald-green cliffs, which plunge into a lurid aquamarine sea dotted with tiny deserted islets. These breathtaking 3,250-foot sea cliffs, the highest in the world, stretch 14 majestic miles … laced by waterfalls and creased by five pristine valleys … once occupied by early Hawaiians who built stone terraces and used waterfalls to irrigate taro patches. Long after the sea cliffs formed, a tiny volcano erupted out of the sea at their feet and spread lava into a flat, leaf-like peninsula. (Foster, 2004, p. 460). Kalaupapa Peninsula. Courtesy of National Park Service (NPS/Image). This narrative extolls the natural beauty of an ‘äina of kaÿawale (land of isolation). Yet in the course of history, because of this isolation, it also became known as the ‘äina of kaumaha nohoi (deep sorrow) and pilikia (misery, hardship, and suffering), ka luakupapaÿu kanu ola (the grave of living corpses or a living tomb), ‘aÿole känäwai ma këia wahi (a place where there is no law), and a “prison fortified by nature” (Inglis, 2004; Frazier, 1987; Stevenson, 1991). Today there are efforts to heal and preserve this ‘äina called Kalawao County. Contents Page The intent of this Information Sheet is to alert data users that there are Five Counties 2 five, not four, counties in the State of Hawai‘i when researching data Kalawao County 3 from various sources. Special notation should be provided when Geography & History 4–5 Kalawao County data is omitted or incorporated in reported statistics.
