  • Clergy Sexual Abuse: Annotated Bibliography of Conceptual and Practical Resources
    Clergy Sexual Abuse: Annotated Bibliography of Conceptual and Practical Resources. Preface The phenomenon of sexual abuse as committed by persons in fiduciary relationships is widespread among helping professions and is international in scope. This bibliography is oriented to several specific contexts in which that phenomenon occurs. The first context is the religious community, specifically Christian churches, and particularly in the U.S. This is the context of occurrence that I best know and understand. The second context for the phenomenon is the professional role of clergy, a religious vocation and culture of which I am a part. While the preponderance of sources cited in this bibliography reflect those two settings, the intent is to be as comprehensive as possible about sexual boundary violations within the religious community. Many of the books included in this bibliography were obtained through interlibrary loan services that are available at both U.S. public and academic libraries. Many of the articles that are listed were obtained through academic libraries. Daily newspaper media sources are generally excluded from this bibliography for practical reasons due to the large quantity, lack of access, and concerns about accuracy and completeness. In most instances, author descriptions and affiliations refer to status at time of publication. In the absence of a subject or name index for this bibliography, the Internet user may trace key words in this PDF format through the standard find or search feature that is available as a pull-down menu option on the user’s computer.

    Stories of the Chicago Province Miramar and Boston THE MIRAMAR STORY, 1922 – 2012 AND THE BOSTON HOUSE, 1953 – 2006 Rev. Joseph Connolly et al. Miramar High on the hill sits Miramar Beneath her lie the verdant meads Enthroned like a queen; Where the tall poplar grows, Her stately elms their branches wave And through the shrubs the tiny brook Like bannerettes of green; Sings gladly as it flows. And twixt the trees the ocean gleams, Across the moor the distant hills Where Manomet leans o’er Rise up to meet the sky, To kiss the waters of the bay And at their feet in sheltered nooks On Plymouth’s sandy shore. The cozy hamlets lie. Up from the bay the gentle wind When from the weariness of earth Murmurs its peaceful song My soul yearns for release, Among the maples and the pines I seek the shelter of thy walls Home of the feathered throng. And there find rest and peace Whose warbling in the early morn For in thy silence, Miramar, Welcomes the rising sun, The voice of Heaven I hear; And whose sweet requiem at eve And in thy calm and sweet repose Tells us the day is done. I know that God is near. Cardinal William O’Connell HISTORIC DUXBURY Duxbury was first settled in 1628 by the families of John Alden, Captain Myles Standish, Thomas Prence, and Jonathan Brewster. Named after Captain Standish’s ancestral home in England—Duxbury Hall—it was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1637. Today the town includes the small Chestnut Street Cemetery, located off Highway 3A near Holy Family Church, the final resting place of Myles Standish and John Alden.

    Office of the Attorney General Commonwealth of Massachusetts The Sexual Abuse of Children in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston A Report by the Attorney General THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ONE ASHBURTON PLACE BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02108-1698 T HOMAS F. REILLY (617) 727-2200 ATTORNEY GENERAL www.ago.state.ma.us July 23, 2003 TO THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS The education, care and protection of our children are among the most important undertakings of our society. In the past one hundred years, we in the United States and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts have made great gains in how we protect our children - and our nation and state have been the better for it. It was with this single motivation - to protect children - that in January 2002, the Office of the Attorney General undertook to address the massive and prolonged mistreatment of children by priests assigned to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston; and it is with this single motivation that the Office of the Attorney General submits the accompanying report of what it did and learned. Throughout the history of the United States, the Catholic Church in America has been responsible for countless good works. Outside of government, it is probably the country’s foremost social services provider: feeding the hungry, caring for the old, the weak and the dispossessed, and fighting in the name of social justice. Its schools and universities have educated generations of children. And thousands of devout and honorable priests provide the Church’s followers with moral and spiritual guidance every day.

  • From Cardinal Seán O'malley's St. Patrick's Day Homily
    working diligently to be able to serve our people in these From Cardinal Seán O’Malley’s St. Patrick’s day homily challenging circumstances. Please remember that your parish ”We need to take care of each other” communities depend on the offertory collections and will need your support going forward to carry on their crucial work. As a people, community, and as a nation we are being forced ...pray the Rosary each day. Many of us remember growing into a stance of social distancing to ward off a potential health up praying the rosary every evening as a family. In the history of disaster. Even as we embrace a methodology of physical our people, during the wars, famines, plagues, and persecution, isolation, we must reject any stance of alienation and individual- the rosary has been the powerful prayer of the Catholic ism. Our motivation cannot be fear and self-preservation, but a people... Even if we cannot go to mass, the rosary is always sense of solidarity and connectedness. What is being asked of us accessible to us. It is a prayer that puts us in touch with God as is for the common good, to protect the most defenseless among we reflect on the mysteries of the life of Christ and the Blessed us. In some ways the present, surrealistic atmosphere is similar Virgin. to what we experienced after the attack of September 11, 2001. May this strange Lent that we are living, help us to overcome We were shaken from our complacency and confronted with the the physical distance by growing closer to God and by strength- reality that changed our lives overnight.
