BREAKING BREAD! Father John R Weber There are many benefits to this new book. First it's in large print which is a boon to those who are part of an aging population.

So, if for some reason a particular Mass, St. Richard Parish Sacrament Dates wedding, or funeral requires a song that's nor- mally not done outside a particular season we First Penance: Tuesday December 3, 2019 can still do it because it will be in the hymnal. Then there's the fact that we only have to First Holy Communion: Saturday May 2, 2020 worry about one book when making an- nouncements or looking for hymns which is Confirmation: Monday April 27, 2020 so much easier!

  • From My Vow the Mexican Ex-Voto and the Secular-Sacred in Poetry
    From My Vow the Mexican ex-voto and the secular-sacred in poetry By Jen Hadfield I The witnessed miracle From Francisco Trujillo... Candelaria Arreola... Miss Josephine Rivera... from the place where you find Braulio Barrientos... Al Señor de los milagros... To our little mother... our most mysterious... the holiest Virgin...1 Before I begin to describe my research visit to Mexico, in the Año Nuevo of 2008 (an account that will reveal that I'm a terrible traveller, being neither courageous, resourceful, social nor spontaneous), I need to deliver a little spiel on Mexican devotional folk-art, in particular, the ex-voto. This is a votive painting on a small rectangle of tin, reliably possessing a trinity of consistent elements. First, the image of the holy person, generally cushioned by a nimbus of stylised light, occupies one corner of the upper part of the ex-voto. The remaining space is shared by the retablo scene – the depiction of a calamity in which a person finds themself at the moment of the saint's miraculous intervention – and an explanatory text: 1 All italicised excerpts from ex‐voto texts from Miracles on the Border, Retablos of Mexican Migrants to the United States, Jorge Durand and Douglas S. Massey, The University of Arizona Press, Tucson & London, 1995 I began to pray your novena, and I hadn't even finished when he returned... for having saved me from a Texan who tried to carry me off...

  • East Side of Saint Paul Crime Related Needs Assessment
    EAST SIDE OF SAINT PAUL CRIME RELATED NEEDS ASSESSMENT A REPORT TO THE SAINT PAUL FOUNDATION FEBRUARY 2003 PREPARED BY THE COUNCIL ON CRIME AND JUSTICE RACIAL DISPARITY INITIATIVE EAST SIDE OF SAINT PAUL CRIME RELATED NEEDS ASSESSMENT TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 3-4 HISTORY OF THE COUNCIL AND RACIAL DISPARITY INITIATIVE 5 PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION 6-7 PROJECT RESULTS 8-21 IMPLICATIONS FOR FUTURE PROJECTS 22-25 2 Acknowledgements First and foremost, our sincerest thanks to the Saint Paul Foundation for investing in Payne- Phalen and Dayton’s Bluff so that we might assess the needs of the two communities relevant to crime. Thank you also to the many men and women who shared their personal experiences relevant to crime in their communities. There is a certain amount of vulnerability that is associated with opening up to a group of total strangers and sharing stories and experiences that are near and dear to our hearts. Stories that included, but were not limited to: • random crimes (often senseless acts of violence, vandalism and theft) • fear that has and continues to exist among various communities and within the hearts of community members • potential solutions to these problems • mixed emotions about law enforcement (the role officials currently play as opposed to the role that would best serve the community) • and tackling the seemingly unanswerable question of what would give the community in which you live more hope that crime can be reduced. Again, thank you for the courage and the willingness to trust and open up to us. Thanks are also extended to the focus group facilitators: Jeff Groves, Gaoxee Yang, Lynn Adkins and Bibiano Colon for the tremendous service rendered to the Council and their community by allowing us to train them in focus group facilitation and put their new found skill to work.

  • High School & Faculty
    High School and Faculty Suggested Reading List Summer, 2014 Abbott, Alysia. Fairyland: a Memoir of My Father. When Alysia Abbott is just two years old, her mother dies. Her father, struggling to meet his own needs as well as his daughter's, moves them to San Francisco, where he can live as an openly gay man in a thriving artistic community. This is one family's story, set against the backdrop of gay life from the poetry of the 1970s through the AIDS crisis of the 1980s and beyond. (Hannah Mermelstein) Adichie, Chimamanda Ngozi. Americanah. R The novel opens with Ifemelu getting her hair braided in preparation for a move back to Nigeria after living in the states for thirteen years. As she sits in the hair-braiding chair, we learn about her growing-up in Nigeria (and about her first love, Obinze), how she came to the United States to study, and all the highs and lows of her time here. By far the most interesting aspect of this novel is Ifemelu's observations about race as seen through posts in her widely read blog called Raceteenth or Various Observations About American Blacks (Those Formerly Known as Negroes) by a Non- American Black. At times profound, usually perceptive, and occasionally infuriating, this novel is nothing if not thought-provoking. (Ragan O’Malley) Alexie, Sherman. What I’ve Stolen, What I’ve Earned. In what I think is his best collection to date, Alexie re-invents the sonnet, inverts the abecedary, Use the and consistently delivers poems that make us reconsider who and what we Saint Ann’s Digital Library really are.

  • 1 INTRODUCTION Charteris and His Work Every Year the UK Crime
    1 INTRODUCTION Charteris and His Work Every year the UK Crime Writers' Association holds its prestigious “Diamond Dagger” ceremony. The Diamond Dagger is awarded annually to crime writers whose careers have been marked by sustained excellence, and who have made a significant contribution to crime fiction published in the English language. Winners have included Ian Rankin, Eric Ambler, John le Carré and Ruth Rendell. On 7 May 1992 the Chairman of the Association presented the Diamond Dagger to the 84-year old Leslie Charteris, whose fiction featuring the gentleman warrior, vigilante adventurer and modern knight-errant Simon Templar, known as the Saint, first appeared in 1928 and is still being published today. Outperforming both heroes and villains and a destroyer of society's enemies for decades, the central protagonist of Charteris’ twelve novels, thirty-four novellas and twelve volumes of short stories excelled in popularity. As Clive Bloom has warned, figures relating to book sales, at least in Britain, “must always be approached with considerable caution,”1 but based on known editions and reprints, publishers’ remarks and information from Charteris’ letters, it has been estimated that Charteris’ sales have topped forty million.2 While small in relation to the huge output and marketing of authors like the early twentieth-century thriller writer Edgar Wallace, or the famous Agatha Christie whose sales run into billions, Charteris’ sales record for his more modest output remains very substantial. Publication of his fiction tailed off in the 1980s, but from December 2012 Mulholland Books at Hodder and Stoughton commenced republication of thirty-five Saint titles.

  • Hello, If You Don't Already Know Me, My Name Is Ryan Hart. I'm 14, A
    Hello, If you don’t already know me, my name is Ryan Hart. I’m 14, a freshman at Pope John Paul II High school, and a graduate of last year’s class at St. Michaels School. I was invited to come here today to talk about a pretty touchy subject. Your hard earned money. Now I know for most people this is a hard thing to talk about. So I thought I’d start out by telling you all how many others and I have already benefited from the annual Catholic appeal. I attended Saint Michael School Kindergarten through 8th grade. Nine years in all. It was clear from the beginning that God was put first. I still remember my very first test at St. Mikes in Kindergarten. It was a prayer test of the sign of the cross and to this day I’m still embarrassed that I went “Father, Son, Holy Spirit” going right to left instead of left to right. For the record, I never made that mistake again. The school has been a wonderful part of my life as I have really spent half of my life there. I made amazing friends. More than half I’m still with because they wanted to continue their Catholic Education at Pope John Paul II High school. The teachers are the best of the best, and Fr. Jim and Father Cody come in quite often (added bonus, you get to see Fr Cody do way more backflips), but most importantly I understand so much more of my beautiful faith.

St. Martin’s Clowns: The Miracle of the Blind Man and Cripple in Art and Drama Martin W. Walsh The legend of St. Martin of Tours was a particularly strong magnet in attracting popular- cultural elements.1 Beginning as a species of Late Antique biography with the writings of Sulpicius Severus, Martin’s vita was more than doubled by the inclusion of his posthumous miracles, collected chiefly by Gregory of Tours in the late sixth century. Early on Martin passed into European folkways and popular literature, and, reciprocally, folkloric motifs attached themselves to Martin at the more elevated levels of his cult. One of the more unusual of these popular accretions to the Vita Martini is the motif of the sturdy Blind Man and the frail Cripple who, in symbiotic union, form one complete, self-satisfied Beggar and actively resist the cure of their handicaps.
