THE CATHOLIC MIRROR Special Edition THE CATHOLIC MIRROR Special Edition Bishop-elect William M. Joensen Tenth Bishop of the Diocese of Des Moines Episcopal ordination and installation on Friday, September 27, 2019 2 The Catholic Mirror September 20, 2019 www.dmdiocese.org Coat of arms: Meaning and symbolism By Bishop-elect William Joensen An episcopal coat of arms accents the diocesan heritage and apostolic inspiration and ministry of a bishop. I collaborated with Italian Renato Poletti and his colleague Gianluigi to develop my coat of arms. Dr. Poletti is well versed in the history of heraldry, with all the rules and symbolism that compose this tradition, and has worked with a number of cardinals and bishops in Italy, the United States and other countries to help craft their respective coats of arms. Here is a brief explanation of my own personal coat of arms: The (facing) left side of any episcopal coat of arms is drawn from the (arch)bishop’s diocese. The splendid colors and French heritage implicit in the Des Moines diocese’s coat of arms are accurately captured in my own emblem. On the right side, the three segments reflect my intention to express: n the geographical region of the Des Moines diocese and its natural and spiritual resourc- es; n the solidarity and charity that disciples of Je- sus are to extend to their neighbors of every creed, race and culture; n the centrality of Jesus and the mediation of his mother, Mary, who communicate the life and love of God through the sacraments and the Church. The lower segment with the rich green background evokes the rich natural and agricultural heritage of what our native American forebears called Iowa, the beautiful Marie, have been key in cultivating my devotion to Mary The Good Samaritan is the hand of Christ land.

Finally, the episcopal motto, “Exquirite Faciem and tribute to my earthly parents and my spiritual mother. The middle diagonal segment is more textured Suam,” is taken from Psalm 27:8, “Seek His Face.” The My own father, Al Joensen, who was an Air Force and lends itself to multiple levels of meaning which remain comprehensive message of my coat of arms is that we navigator in the propeller era, could “shoot the stars” and open to those who ponder it. are all called to draw from the font of Spirit and grace guide planes to their destination by sight and calculation I remarked to Dr. Poletti that, though I am that God has given us, through baptism, Eucharist, and absent today’s technology.

  • LIFE Portfolio Course Moves Beyond Class Experience to Support
    Spring 2015 Greetings from Hoffmann Hall! During this past academic year the Division of Business and Economics undertook two new initiatives. The first is described in our lead story. Students from across campus benefited from the investing acumen of our finance majors by being awarded a portion of the proceeds gained though the Loras Investment Fund for the Endowment (LIFE) portfolio class. The second initiative was the creation of faculty-led discussion groups. These groups provided students an opportunity to consider the impact that Catholic Social Teaching can have on their lives. Through the generosity of a benefactor, this semester’s CST initiative will bring two noted scholars to campus: Dr. Andrew Abela of Catholic University, and Dr. Patrick Murphy, from the University of Notre Dame. I believe you will find this issue of our newsletter very informative—filled with news of exciting activities and meaningful student accomplishments. As always, I entreat you to join our LinkedIn member group. It is a great way to stay connected to your school and its alumni. Be More. Be Loras. --Dr. Doug Gambralll, Ed.D.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Frontier Missionary: Felix DeAndreis, C.M. by an authorized administrator of Via Sapientiae. For more information, please contact [email protected]. 11 PREFACE Cardinal Newman wrote somewhere that we are all links in the great chain ofprovidence. He wrote, further, that we may never know exactly what providence expects of us but we can be sure that we will accomplish it if we are only faithful. Each of us is the beneficiary of the fidelity of those who have gone before us; our hope is that we will be as great a benefit to those who follow us. In these pages you will gain insight into the life ofa man who was faithful, whom many in his own time called a "saint." The life of Reverend Felix De Andreis, C.M., is particularly pertinent to citizens of the Midwest, to Catholics in the many Midwestern dioceses, and to theVincentian Fathers and Brothers, becausefor all oftheseindividuals hewas a part oftheirbeginnings. He, along with manyothers, certainly helped to create who and what we are today. The Archdiocese of St. Louis, in particular, owes him a great debt of gratitude. In reading the letters of De Andreis you will encounter a human being - not unlike ourselves - meeting the challenges to be holy and to be strong in the face ofsome extraordinarily difficult circumstances, not unlike our own.
