  • Black Catholic March for Racial Justice
    Black Catholic March for Racial Justice Dear Friends, I hope this email finds you and your families both healthy and safe. Black Catholic March for Racial Justice to be held in Milwaukee This Saturday, July 11, 2020, beginning at 9:30 a.m., the Black Catholic Ministry Commission and the Archdiocese will host a Black Catholic March for Racial Justice. The march begins at St. Francis of Assisi Parish (1927 Vel R. Phillips Ave, Milwaukee). We ask that participants begin gathering at 9 a.m. We recommend that people wear facemasks and bring water bottles. The march will proceed to the former site of Blessed Martin de Porres Parish (7th St. and Galena) and conclude at St. Benedict the Moor Parish (930 W State St., Milwaukee), for a distance of 1.3 miles. The initiative of the march came from Fr. Michael Bertram, OFM Cap., pastor of St. Francis of Assisi parish, and the event is supported by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. The Black Catholic March for Racial Justice will seek to: Publically support and stand in solidarity with African Americans and members of the Black community, who suffer racial injustice. Denounce the sin of racism and racial injustice. Commemorate the commitment of the Catholic Church in Milwaukee to support African Americans and the Black communities through historic ministerial efforts of the following parishes: St. Benedict the Moor, Blessed Martin de Porres, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Boniface, and more recently St. Martin de Porres and All Saints. If you have any question, please contact Fessahaye Mebrahtu our Director of Black Catholic & Ethnic Ministries at [email protected].

  • MOUNT CALVARY CATHOLIC CHURCH Baltimore, Maryland † Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter
    MOUNT CALVARY CATHOLIC CHURCH Baltimore, Maryland † Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY OCTOBER 15, 2017 • 10:00 A.M. Notes on Today’s Music Schubert’s setting of Psalm 23 was written for his friend Anna Frohlich, a singing teacher at the Vienna Conservatory, as an examination piece for her students in 1820. Although it was originally scored for a female choir, it is sometimes sung by men’s voices instead. We will use the piano because the accompaniment is idiomatic for that instrument and requires subtle shading of dynamics and phrasing impossible to reproduce on the organ. The style of this piece resembles the homespun liturgical music heard in Austrian small country churches of the period. At the beginning, a calm mood is established by the gentle triplets in the accompaniment, a kind of gentle water music evoking still waters and green pastures. Listen for the mysterious and dark section depicting the valley of the shadow of death. Written in a lower vocal range, it depicts the only moment of drama and doubt before the music returns to the assurance and faith of the beginning. Love bade me welcome was written in 1911 by English composer Vaughan Williams as one of his “Five mystical songs.” The text is by the early 17th century Anglican priest George Herbert, one of the devotional English writers known as the metaphysical poets. The poem depicts the soul who is invited to the heavenly banquet by Love (Christ) but who draws back because of his sense of unworthiness.

  • Footwashings from Canon Perrizo
    Footwashings from Canon Perrizo By Canon Faith C. Perrizo March 3, 2012 The Slow Work of God Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are, quite naturally, Impatient in everything to reach the end Without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way To something unknown, Something new And yet it is the law of all progress That it is made by passing through Some stages of instability – And that it may take a very long time. And so I think it is with you. Your ideas mature gradually – Let them grow. Let them shape themselves, Without undue haste. Don’t try to force them on, As though you could be today What time (that is to say, grace and circumstance Acting on you own good will) Will make you tomorrow. Only God could say what this new spirit Gradually forming within you will be. Give Our Lord the benefit of believing That His hand is leading you, And accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense And incomplete. ‐‐Pierre Teilhard de Chardin ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ You are my beloved, my little one! I have created you I have chosen you And so you are You are a competent, intelligent, compassionate, wise woman Through me and with me all things are possible Trust ‐ come abide with me Rest for a while in my embrace Tomorrow we will celebrate the wonder and joy of all you are becoming Tomorrow you will know love, my little one For now Teach as you have been taught Preach my word Share my message of hope and love with all you meet Heal others as you have been healed Break bread and share wine Celebrate Come, my little one, my beloved Arise and follow me.

  • The Word from Lansing: with Gratitude for African-American Catholics
    The Word from Lansing: With Gratitude for African-American Catholics By Paul A. Long July 16, 2021 Last month, communities across the state commemorated the events of June 19, 1865—Juneteenth—when Union Major General Gordon Granger and two thousand Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, the furthest outpost of the Confederacy. There Major General Granger announced General Order Number 3, which proclaimed freedom from slavery in Texas. While the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution officially outlawed the practice of slavery in America, Juneteenth is also referred to as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Liberation Day, and Emancipation Day. The observance brings to mind the devastating effect of slavery, primarily for the families whose ancestors experienced enslavement. At the same time, it reminds Americans of two important truths: 1. Freedom had to be fought for; it was not fully realized for all at the nation’s founding. Every generation must continue to fight for and protect it. 2. The struggle for racial equality and the importance of reflection and action regarding the status of race relations within the country is ongoing. Despite experiences of personal and, at times, institutional racism, African-American men and women have risen up to inspire a more equal and just society. Just a few of such American heroes include Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Booker T. Washington, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., and Jackie Robinson. African-American Catholics have also contributed substantially to the shaping of communities across the country. While nearly a dozen individuals of American heritage have been canonized, six African-Americans are in the early stages of examination for sainthood.
