    1St. Rose of Lima Church 312 Ridgedale Avenue East Hanover, New Jersey 07936 www.saintroseoflimachurch.org Third Sunday of Lent March 4, 2018 I’m thrilled to announce that we have twelve people preparing for the Sacraments of Initiation between Easter and Pentecost. Congratulations to: Robin who seeks the Sacraments of Baptism, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation. I presented her to the Bishop on Sunday, February 18th. Karen and Brian who seek to enter the Catholic Church through Profession of Faith, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation. Steven and Alyssa who will receive Holy Eucharist and Confirmation. Nick, Matt, Imma, Jenna, Nicholas, Lindsay, and Tianna who will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Please keep the RCIA candidates in your prayers during these final days of preparation. Our 9th graders had a day of retreat last Saturday. They began at 9:00am and finished at 1:00pm when I celebrated a Teaching Mass for them. A big thank you to Lisa Paradiso, our Youth Minister, for organizing and running this day of reflection. Thanks also to Louis of Brick restaurant in Denville for providing and donating the food. We appreciate our catechists and volunteers and Antioch Team who gave of their time, generosity and joy. I look forward to the Knights of Columbus St. Patrick’s Dinner Dance next Saturday, March 10th. For information on this dance please see inside the bulletin. Several Sources operates a special family program to provide food, clothing, school supplies and emergency financial assistance to impoverished families. Many of these families began at one of the Several Sources maternity homes and often times the mom finds it impossible to make ends meet.

  • Vasari's Vite and Italian Artists in Sixteenth-Century England
    Vasari’s Vite and Italian artists in sixteenth-century England Cinzia Maria Sicca Figure 1 Giorgio Vasari, Le vite de’ più eccellenti pittori, scultori et architettori . (Florence, 1568). References to works of art or individuals traveling to England are found in Vasari’s lives of Benedetto da Maiano, Pietro Torrigiani, Benedetto da Rovezzano, Girolamo da Treviso, Rosso Fiorentino, Perino del Vaga, Baccio Bandinelli, Bastiano ‘Aristotile’ da Sangallo, the brothers Davit and Benedetto del Ghirlandaio and their nephew Ridolfo (son of Domenico), Giovan Francesco Penni (il Fattore), as well as in a final, miscellaneous section in the Giuntina edition of 1568 entitled ‘Di diversi artefici Italiani’ (Of several different Italian artists). (Figure 1) This selection is striking for the density of Tuscan artists who, with the only exception of Girolamo da Treviso, appear to have dominated the flux of artistic exchange between the two countries during the sixteenth century. The exception, however, is no less meaningful since Girolamo’s complicated career took him to Venice, Bologna, Rome and Mantua making him a vehicle for the transmission of the highly experimental style that had been incubating in this latter city. The migration of artists to England, as well as to other European countries, is discussed by Vasari within the general framework of a far-ranging view of the Journal of Art Historiography Number 9 December 2013 Cinzia Maria Sicca Vasari’s Vite and Italian artists in sixteenth- century England movement of art through time and space, and serves the ultimate purpose of demonstrating the superiority of central Italian art. Writing about artists who had left their motherland and settled anywhere in Europe was, however, hugely problematic for Vasari who had no direct knowledge of the works produced abroad and was thus unable to discuss them in any detail.

INSTITUTION Peace Corps, Washington, D.C. PUB DATE Dec 75 NOTE 414p.; Some pages may not reproduce well. PUB TYPE Guides - Classroom Use - Materials (For Learner) (051) -- Guides - Classroom Use- Guides (For Teachers) (052) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC17 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Dialogs (Language); Glossaries; Grammar; Lesson Plans; *Samoan; *Second Language Instruction; Vocabulary ABSTRACT This Samoan language manual is designed foruse by both teachers and students. The manual outlines and explains each lesson for the teacher and provides a source of reference for the learner. The lessons are intended for use in the classroom under the direction of the teacher. Total immersion in Samoan and exclusion of English are important features of the course. Each lesson containsa list of topics to be taught, the method to be used, and thenecessary materials.
