In the 1840s, he became a Catholic, and wrote to his brother Sylvester, a student at Kenyon College, encouraging him to explore Catholicism. He did so and entered the church. Sylvester Rosecrans studied for the priesthood and was ordained in 1852. A decade later, he was consecrated auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

  • Reading the Old Testament
    Reading the Old Testament An Introduction SECOND EDITION BY LAWRENCE BOADT, C5P REVISED AND UPDATED BY Richard Clifford, 5J, and Daniel Harrington, 5J Paulist Press New York / Mahwah, NJ Chapter 1 INTRODUCING THE OLD TESTAMENT What Is the Bible? The English word Bible comes hom the Greek ta biblia, which means "The Books," a name well chosen since the Bible is a collection of many individ- ual works, and not the product of a single person. In the New Testament, there are twenty-seven books, and in the Old Testament, either thirty-nine (in Protestant and Jewish editions) or forty-six (in Catholic editions). Year after year, the Bible remains the world's largest selling book, averaging thirty million copies a year-s-perhaps one hundred and flfty billion in all since Gutenberg invented the printing press in 14.5.3and made the Bible his first project. As hest sellers go, the Bible would seem to have everything against it: it is a collection without a great deal of unity; its size is over- whelming (1,534 pages in one New American Bible Beused Edition, and 2,045 pages in a Jerusalem Bible); the names and places are often strange and hard to pronounce; and the ideas belong to a world that has long since passed away. If the task of reading the Bible is so difficult, why should it be consid- ered so worthwhile by so many? Over the centuries, many reasons have been put forward to explain tbe value of Bible study. Some of these are: (1) it is a treasure chest of the wisdom and inspiration that guided the generations before us; (2) it contains some of the most profound insights into the mean- ing of human life; (3) it is the single most important source of our Western cnlture, especially of the expressions and words we use; (4) it has had the most profound influence on modern religious thought; (5) it is the most complete history of the ancient past that we possess.

    OLD ST. MARY’S CHURCH OUR PARISH MISSION Founded in 1833, Old St. Mary’s parish is the first Catholic parish in the Chicago area. Guided for more than a century by the vision of the Paulist Fathers, we are a diverse and welcoming community dedicated to serving the spiritual needs of the Loop, South Loop and the greater Chicago area. As a unified Church and School community, Old St. Mary’s Parish promotes the mission of the Paulist Fathers to welcome those who have been away from the church, to build bridges of respect and collaboration with people of diverse backgrounds and religions, and to promote justice and healing in our society.

Page Two Old St. Mary’s Church October 4, 2020 Pastor’s White Board The Weeks Ahead... This week we launch into the busy month of October. October is usually busy. At the parish we usually have our ministry fair; fall sports are off and running; the Chicago Marathon is running by the church, and people are gearing up for the rest of the year and the holidays…. Even though we are more limited in our regular activities we still have events happening. Today, I invite you to look at and consider these reminders. VOTE. Check our website for ideas on how to form your conscience. Catholic teaching is very clear that individual consciences are inviolable. That being said, we are also called to have well formed consciences by engaging in research and debate with others and ourselves to figure out the right issues and right candidates to vote for.

  • CHURCH of ST. PAUL the APOSTLE, 8 Columbus Avenue (Aka 8-10 Columbus Avenue, 120 West 60Th Street), Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 25, 2013, Designation List 465 LP-2260 CHURCH OF ST. PAUL THE APOSTLE, 8 Columbus Avenue (aka 8-10 Columbus Avenue, 120 West 60th Street), Manhattan. Built 1875-85; initial design attributed to Jeremiah O’Rourke; upper walls of towers, c. 1900; “Conversion of Paul” bas-relief by Lumen Martin Winter, 1958 Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1131, Lot 31 On June 11, 2013, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a hearing (Item No. 2) on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Church of St. Paul the Apostle and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site.1 The hearing was duly advertised according to provisions of law. Five people spoke in support of designation, including representatives of New York State Senator Brad Hoylman, Community Board 7, the Historic Districts Council, Landmark West! and the Society for the Architecture of the City. One person, representing Father Gilbert Martinez, CSP, spoke in opposition to designation. Summary The Church of St. Paul the Apostle, located at the southwest corner of Columbus Avenue and 60th Street in Manhattan, was built in 1875-85. Commissioned by the Missionary Society of St. Paul the Apostle, commonly called the Paulist Fathers, it is an austere and imposing Medieval Revival style design, loosely based on Gothic and Romanesque sources. The Paulists trace their origins to 1858 when Isaac Hecker traveled to Rome and received permission from Pope Pius IX to organize an American society of missionary priests. The following year, Archbishop John Hughes of New York asked Hecker’s group to establish a parish on Manhattan’s Upper West Side and a simple brick church was constructed.

  • November 29, 2020 Pastor’S White Board Advent – Something for Us to Do
    OLD ST. MARY’S CHURCH FEAST OF FAITH What Is the Mass? What is the Mass? There is no simple answer to that question. The Church uses many different images and terms to describe our most important prayer. The Mass is the celebration of the Eucharist, a Greek word that means “thanksgiving.” It is the Lord’s Supper. It is the Breaking of the Bread. It is the memorial of the Lord’s passion, death, and resurrection. It is the Holy Sacrifice, in which the sacrifice of Christ on the cross is perpetuated. It is the holy and divine liturgy, the sacred mysteries. It is the source and summit of our Christian lives, the new covenant, the work of the Holy Spirit, the paschal mystery. The many different words and images that we use when we speak of the Mass are not signs of confusion, but of wonder at what the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1328) calls the “inexhaustible richness” of the Eucharist. The Mass, our greatest prayer and our deepest mystery, is celebrated every day, many times a day, the world over. The Eucharist is both “bread from heaven” and “daily bread.” The Mass is our everyday miracle. —Corinna Laughlin, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. OLD ST. MARY’S CHURCH - 1500 S.

  • Father Boadt, a Leading Scholar and Former Head of Paulist Press, Dies
    Father Boadt, a leading scholar and former head of Paulist Press, dies MAHWAH, N.J. – Paulist Father Lawrence Boadt, a leading Catholic biblical scholar and former CEO and president of Paulist Press, died at his residence in Mahwah July 24 after a long battle with cancer. He was 67. A funeral Mass was to be celebrated for him July 28 at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York, followed by interment in the Paulist Fathers’ section of St. Thomas the Apostle Church Cemetery in Oak Ridge, N.J. Father Boadt was a Paulist priest for 47 years. His death was announced by Paulist Father Mark-David Janus, who in April succeeded the late priest as head of Paulist Press. Born Oct. 26, 1942, to attorneys Loren A. and Eleanor Boadt, Father Boadt grew up in St. Paul the Apostle Parish in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. Paulist archivist Father John Lynch was newly ordained when he first met Father Boadt, then a fifth-grader in the parish school. Father Lynch recalls seeing the makings of a priest in the young altar server and Cub Scout. “He was dependable and enjoyed serving the church,” Father Lynch said in a statement. He noted that Father Boadt kept his close association with his home parish while he was a student at Loyola High School in Los Angeles; he graduated from Loyola in 1960. He entered the Paulist novitiate Sept. 6, 1962. He earned a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree from St. Paul’s College in Washington.

Memorize article #140 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church The unity of the two Testaments proceeds from the unity of God's plan and his Revelation.
