Credits: Mary Sweeney Photography | Michael Murray Photography Letter from the President Dear CDH Community, This past school year was marked with remarkable individual achievements and faculty milestones, as well as with unprecedented grief. I would like to share with you just a glimpse of how this past year unfolded at Cretin-Derham Hall. All of us in the CDH community were deeply saddened by the deaths of three students: 9th grader Mac Greeman, junior Max Lowell, and Ben Mueller ‘14. We continue to keep these students, their families, and all of our deceased alumni/ae and friends in our thoughts and prayers. Three highly-respected teachers retired this past year: Tom Cody ‘70, Charlotte Hennessy, and Brian Lundell. We are indebted to them for their service and dedication to CDH, their students, and their exceptional contributions to our Math Department. After 19 years of ministry to our CDH community, both in the classroom and as a member of the Campus Ministry team, Fr. Phil Dreckman, SJ, is now retired. We thank him for his service. Cretin-Derham Hall launched CASA, a unique program that connects students and adults through activities designed to intentionally promote the core values of CDH. The goal of CASA is to provide a structure in which every student in our school community knows that he/she is recognized and valued. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Amy Bellus and Jack Kreitzer for their outstanding work on CASA. Cretin-Derham Hall was proud to claim two students, juniors Maria Neuzil and Anna Kalkman, who each earned the top composite score of 36 on the ACT test. The 2014 National Merit finalist was Jonathon Gallaher and the Commended Students were Adam Klein, Olivia Kuncio, Alex Mongin, Rachel Oberst, Abby Sunberg, Kathryn Theisen, Brian Veenstra, and Joshua Vievering. Ten juniors have met the requirements to enter the 2015 National Merit Scholarship Program based on the results of their Preliminary SAT/National Merit Qualifying Tests. They are Emma Gutzmann, Kevin Hottinger, Anna Kalkman, Megan Kollitz, Madeline Lee, Carl Modl, Maria Neuzil, Mateo Paredes-Sepulveda, Mark Schuweiler, and Wyatt Stackpole. The second edition of Campus minister David Haas’ book, Music and the Mass; A Practical Guide for Ministers of Music, was released. He also coordinated the production of a CD, God is Everywhere, that features several CDH students and several compositions that David composed specifically for the CDH community, including Mass of Christ, Our Hope; One Heart, One Mind; and Be A Blessing. Ellen Larson ‘14 is the composer of one of the featured songs, I Believe I Shall See. David also received the prestigious 2014 Emmaus Award for Excellence in Catechesis at the annual National Catholic Educational Association Conference and Expo. Jim O’Neill ‘74 retired as Cretin-Derham Hall’s baseball coach, capping off a stellar 18-year baseball coaching career. He coached the Raiders to five state baseball championships in 1996, 1997, 1998, 2001, and 2007. His teams won 66 straight games from 1996-1999. Jim continues to coach the CDH Boys Hockey team, which he has been doing for 34 years. The JROTC Raider Brigade was named an Honor Unit with Distinction for the 87th consecutive year.

  • Editorial: the First Case of ‘Vos Estis’ in Action, And
    Editorial: The first case of ‘Vos Estis’ in action, and its fallout At the request of Pope Francis, Bishop Michael Hoeppner of Crookston, Minnesota, resigned April 13 after an investigation into whether or not Bishop Hoeppner had carried out “acts or omissions intended to interfere with or avoid civil or canonical investigations of clerical sexual misconduct.” The investigation that led to his resignation stemmed from reports that the bishop “had at times failed to observe applicable norms when presented with allegations of sexual abuse involving clergy of the Diocese of Crookston,” the diocese stated on the day of Bishop Hoeppner’s resignation. To put it in layman’s terms: The bishop was accused of not reporting abuse to Church and civil authorities after it had been reported to him — and even worse, he was said to have tried to coerce a victim into retracting his allegation of abuse (which had been made against a popular priest of the diocese). The investigation and resignation were among the first fruits of the new canonical standards decreed by Pope Francis just shy of two years ago — on May 7, 2019 — via the motu proprio “Vos Estis Lux Mundi,“ which established a universal baseline of procedural norms for the reporting of clergy sexual abuse and related cover-ups. The norms went into effect June 1 of the same year for a three-year “ad experimentum” phase. On Sept. 10, 2019, Archbishop Bernard A. Hebda of St. Paul and Minneapolis, whose jurisdiction as metropolitan includes the Diocese of Crookston, announced that the new norms were going to be put to the test for the first time in the world, and the investigation of Bishop Hoeppner began.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Dear Friends
    Catholic Community FOUNDATION OF MINNESOTA onlyCOMMUNION IN THE MIDST OF CRISIS together ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Dear Friends, None of us will forget 2020 anytime soon. The pandemic, together with the social unrest in the wake of George Floyd’s unjust death, have taken a heavy toll. At the same time, I’m very proud of how our Catholic community has responded. In the midst of dual crises, in a time of fear and uncertainty, we have come together to help our neighbors and support Catholic organizations. Only together can we achieve success, as Archbishop Hebda says, “On our own, there’s little that we’re able to accomplish. It’s only with collaboration, involving the thinking and generosity of many folks that we’re able to put together a successful plan.” The Catholic Community Foundation of Minnesota (CCF) has never been better prepared to meet the challenges of the moment. Within days of the suspension of public Masses in March, CCF established onlyCOMMUNION IN THE MIDST OF CRISIS the Minnesota Catholic Relief Fund. Immediately, hundreds of generous people made extraordinary donations to support our local Catholic community. Shortly thereafter, CCF began deploying monies to parishes and schools in urgent need. This was all possible because CCF had the operational and relational infrastructure in place to act swiftly: the connections, the trust, the expertise, and the overwhelming support of our donors. CCF has proven it’s just as capable of serving the long-term needs of our Catholic community. together Through our Legacy Fund and a variety of endowments, individuals can support Catholic ministries in perpetuity, while parishes partner with CCF to safeguard their long-term financial stability.

  • Trump's Generals
    STRATEGIC STUDIES QUARTERLY - PERSPECTIVE Trump’s Generals: A Natural Experiment in Civil-Military Relations JAMES JOYNER Abstract President Donald Trump’s filling of numerous top policy positions with active and retired officers he called “my generals” generated fears of mili- tarization of foreign policy, loss of civilian control of the military, and politicization of the military—yet also hope that they might restrain his worst impulses. Because the generals were all gone by the halfway mark of his administration, we have a natural experiment that allows us to com- pare a Trump presidency with and without retired generals serving as “adults in the room.” None of the dire predictions turned out to be quite true. While Trump repeatedly flirted with civil- military crises, they were not significantly amplified or deterred by the presence of retired generals in key roles. Further, the pattern continued in the second half of the ad- ministration when “true” civilians filled these billets. Whether longer-term damage was done, however, remains unresolved. ***** he presidency of Donald Trump served as a natural experiment, testing many of the long- debated precepts of the civil-military relations (CMR) literature. His postelection interviewing of Tmore than a half dozen recently retired four- star officers for senior posts in his administration unleashed a torrent of columns pointing to the dangers of further militarization of US foreign policy and damage to the military as a nonpartisan institution. At the same time, many argued that these men were uniquely qualified to rein in Trump’s worst pro- clivities. With Trump’s tenure over, we can begin to evaluate these claims.

  • Background to Stanwix Hospital and Alms-Houses
    Background to Stanwix Hospital and Alms - houses The familiar red - brick terrace of small hou ses, in their own grounds, has stood in Kickham Street, Thurles, since 1889. Colloquially known in Thurles as “The Widows’ Homes”, their official title is “The Stanwix Hospital and Alms - houses”. The first residents , ten widows, moved in at the beginning of September 1890. There was a M atron to supervise, and by the end of 1898 the 2 nd phase of the complex was completed, with the addition of a further 8 houses. Ever since, they have provided sheltered housing for women in retirement, faithful to th e vision of the founder Emma Sla ughter Stanwix. Emma Stanwix , an English woman, an absente e Landlord, a private and reserved lady, an arti st, lived for many years in Versailles, France. S he i nherited her estate of 14 town s - lands in Moycarkey p arish from her father Thomas Sla ughter Stanwix, a high - ranking Officer in the English army. Wilson’s Di rectory lists Shanbally Castle, near Moycarkey, as the residence of Thomas Sla ughter Stanwix , though he rarely, if ever, lived there. Away on army duties, he was commissioned a s Lieutenant - General in 1806 . Going further back in history, during the Cromwellian Wars (1649 - ’52 ) , Cromwell and his forces spent over six months in Mid Tipperary. His cannon shelled Moycarkey Castle, doing considerable damage. Moycarkey Castle was the home of the Cantwell family, An glo - Normans, at the time. William and John Cantwell held substantial lands, and these were confiscated in the Cromwellian Plantation (1653).
