Dear Everyone Connected with the St. Patrick Catholic American Community
Dear Everyone Connected with the St. Patrick Catholic American Community, Greetings as we approach the last weeks of our summer vacation. This week we welcome our new Vice Rector, Fr. Steve Petroff, CSP. He comes to St. Patrick’s from Chicago, Illinois where he’s been associate pastor of Old St. Mary’s church since July of 2017. A native of Clarkston, Michigan, Fr. Steve earned a B.A. from Oakland University in Rochester, MI, and an M.S. in Hispanic literature and linguistics from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. He then spent 20 years in Los Angeles working in marketing and strategic planning for both international companies and specialized firms. Fr. Steve joined the Paulist novitiate in the fall of 2011 and spent Lent of 2012 with the American community in Rome at Santa Susanna. He made his final promises to the Paulist Fathers on September 2, 2016 and was ordained a transitional deacon the next day at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC. After finishing the normal course of priestly formation and earning his M. Div. from The Catholic University of America, Fr. Steve was ordained a priest by Bishop Gerald Kicanas of Tucson, Arizona on May 20, 2017 at the Paulist mother church, the Church of St. Paul the Apostle, in New York City, along with Paulist Fathers Matthew Berrios, CSP and Stuart Wilson-Smith, CSP. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with Fr. Steve and his family who are mourning the loss of his father Joe, who passed away two weeks ago.

005-Santa Susanna
(005/11) Santa Susanna Santa Susanna is an 15th century monastic and titular church. It is on the Piazza San Bernardo, on the Via XX Settembre just north-west of the Piazza della Repubblica and its metro station in the rione Trevi. The dedication is to St Susanna, and the full official title is Santa Susanna alle Terme di Diocleziano. (1) History A church at Santa Susanna commemorates the place where, according to St. Jerome, a young Christian woman was martyred for refusing to worship Rome's pagan gods. Around the year 290 Susanna was residing with her father, Christian presbyter Gabinus, right next door to her saintly uncle Pope Caius (283-296), and in the shadows of the Emperor Diocletian's (284-305) immense baths. After refusing to break a vow of virginity to marry her insistent suitor Maximianus Galerius (none other than the Emperor's adopted son and heir), Susanna also balked at offering a pagan sacrifice, and was beheaded in her own home. The church of Santa Susanna is one of the oldest titles of Rome. The first Christian place of worship was built here in the 4th century. It was probably the titulus of Pope Caius (283-296). The early Christian church was built on the remains of three Roman villas, and was located immediately outside the fence of the Baths of Diocletian and close to the Servian walls. (8) First church By tradition, the church was built in 330, and named San Caio after the owner of the first chapel. In 590, the church was rededicated to St Susan because of her growing popularity.

The Augustinian Vol VII
Online Supplement The Augustinian Vol VII . Issue I Fall 2012 Volume VII . Issue I The Augustinian Fall 2012 - Online Supplement Augustinian Cardinals Fr. Prospero Grech, O.S.A., was named by Pope Benedict XVI to the College of Cardinals on the Feast of the Epiphany, January 6, 2012. On February 18, 2012, when he received the red biretta, he joined the ranks of twelve other Augustinian Friars who have served as Cardinals. This line stretches back to 1378, when Bonaventura Badoardo da Padova, O.S.A., was named Cardinal, the first Augustinian Friar so honored. Starting with the current Cardinal, Prospero Grech, read a biographical sketch for each of the thirteen Augustinian Cardinals. Friars of the Province of Saint Thomas of Villanova Sebastiano Martinelli, O.S.A., the most recent Augustinian Cardinal prior to Cardinal Prospero Grech, O.S.A., served as Apostolic Delegate to the United States (1896 - 1902). While serving in this position, he made several trips to visit Augustinian sites. In 1897, while visiting Villanova, he was pho- tographed with the professed friars of the Province. Among these men were friars who served in leader- ship roles for the Province, at Villanova College, and in parishes and schools run by the Augustinians. Who were these friars and where did they serve?
