^VOICB MAY 21, 1976 25C VOL ^VOICB MAY 21, 1976 25c VOL. XVIII No. 11 19 new cardinals to receive red hats Monday at Vatican VATICAN CITY-(NO-When Pope Paul VI creates 19 new cardinals in special ceremonies on May 24, he will preside over an event that he himself has stripped of much of its pageantry. In 1969 Pope Paul abolished much of the finery of the cardinalate. Pope Pius XII dispensed with trains, but Pope Paul did away with watered silk robes. Huge red wide- brimmed hats, ermine capes, and crimson shoes with silver buckles also went the way of the cardinals' courts of the history books. Some glitter remains, however. The three ceremonies associated with elevation to the College of Cardinals are the secret consistory at which the Pope formally creates the new cardinals, the public con- sistory at which he gives the cardinals their hats, and the concelebrated Mass at which the new cardinals receive their rings of office. These ceremonies, embodying the ritual and symbols handed down over centuries, are among the most impressive the Roman Catholic Church offers. THE SECRET or ordinary consistory begins the sequence at 9:30 a.m. Monday, May 24. The cardinals-elect wait with their relatives and friends in the Pierluigi Nervi Audience Hall, as Pope Paul calls together the present college of cardinals in the Consistory Hall of the Apostolic Palace, to inform them ceremonially of his decision. Once the names have been announced and Pope Paul has delivered a homily, later made public, the papal secretary of state, Cardinal Jean Villot, will take the nomination cards to the new cardinals. The public consistory in the huge audience hall will follow. Here, Pope Paul will assign to the new cardinals their red hat, or biretta, of office —a red, squarish watered silk hat without a brim but with three upstanding ridges on the Largest class of new priests to be ordained in Orders last Saturday from Archbishop crown. recent years received the Sacrament of Holy Coleman F.

    In Their Own Hands CRS 2030 STRATEGY VIETNAM Photo by Lisa Murray for CRS ‘Solidarity ... is not a feeling of vague compassion or shallow distress at the misfortunes of so many people, both near and far. It is a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good … to the good of all and of each individual.’ SOLLICITUDO REI SOCIALIS #38 2 CRS VISION 2030 STRATEGY A Message From Our President & CEO At Catholic Relief Services, we are dedicated to putting our faith into action to do whatever it takes to build a world in which all people reach their full human potential in the context of just and peaceful societies. We have a vision for a world that respects the sacredness and dignity of the human person and the integrity of all of God’s creation. Our mission is a faith-filled call to serve others—based on need, not creed, race or nationality—as taught in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, prioritizing the most vulnerable and marginalized among us. I am proud of CRS’ 75 years of global solidarity and service to our sisters and brothers around the world. From responding to the humanitarian needs of migrants and refugees during World War II to programs and services that today reach over 130 million people across 110 countries, our enduring mission inspires and guides us. In our new strategy, we look to the evolving needs and opportunities of the people we serve and their local institutions, and challenge ourselves to be bolder and more ambitious in our aspirations to not only catalyze transformational change to combat poverty, injustice and violence, but to achieve these results at greater scale.

  • Destination Casinos in South Florida: Findings of Fact and Recommendations
    Destination Casinos in South Florida: Findings of Fact and Recommendations The Dr. Antonio Jorge Social and Economic Development Council, Miami-Dade County Advisory Board ABSTRACT This presentation intends to share the relevant experience of other cities around the world in dealing with casinos. If destination casinos do come, what are the terms that would be best for the people of Miami-Dade County and the State of Florida? Destination casinos attract visitors from outside of the locality where they are located. Only about 15% of the gamblers in casinos in Atlantic City and Las Vegas are local residents, but 83% of the gamblers on riverboats in Illinois are local. South Florida already has casinos directed toward local people. The current debate is about destination casinos that would attract affluent tourists. This document does not take any position regarding whether we should have destination casinos or not, but we want to show what the consequences might be for allowing the new forms of gambling.

  • Comments by Dr. Carolyn Woo, President of Catholic Relief Services at the Press Conference for Laudato Si’ – the Encyclical by Pope Francis Rome, June 18, 2015
    Comments by Dr. Carolyn Woo, President of Catholic Relief Services at the Press Conference for Laudato Si’ – the Encyclical by Pope Francis Rome, June 18, 2015 Thank you very much, it’s a tremendous honor for me. As we are talking about nature and ecology, one statement comes to mind, and it’s about you as a wonderful audience who has been very patient. There is a saying that the mind can only absorb what the seat can endure. So I hope nature gave you long seats. I also want to say thank you particularly to Caritas Internationalis. Catholic Relief Services is the American member of Caritas Internationalis, a federation of 164 Caritas agencies, and we have been working over the last year preparing for the launch of this encyclical and how we could propagate it throughout the world, down to the very level of the parishes. So I just want to say on behalf of Caritas Internationalis I am also here. My audience today is the business audience, and I have a number of things to say. First of all I think of the question posed by the Pope, “What kind of world do we want to leave those who come after us, to the children who are now growing up”? Well, I am a mother and someday I look forward to being a grandmother, and I think that question is completely relevant to each of us and, of course, to business. The Pope calls for ecological conversion, and again I think it’s relevant to people and organizations, but that conversion today begins with consciousness.

  • Catholic Relief Services Fact Sheet
    Food Aid Project: Catholic Relief Services Fact Sheet Mission and Overview: Catholic Relief Services (CRS) was founded in 1943 by the Catholic Bishops of the United States and serves as the official relief and development agency of the Catholic Church. The mission of CRS is to assist the poor and disadvantaged, leveraging the teachings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to alleviate human suffering, promote development of all people and to foster charity and justice throughout the world. Program Areas: CRS operates on 5 continents and in 99 countries through an extensive network of partners around the globe, providing humanitarian relief and development assistance in the fields of community health and HIV/AIDS, peace and justice, education, agriculture, microfinance, and emergency response. In addition to providing immediate response to emergency situations, CRS is also dedicated to addressing the root causes of disasters, violence, and suffering in order to truly help communities find paths to long-term recovery and rehabilitation. Central to this vision are common themes that are present throughout each CRS program: capacity building, food security, gender, and justice. CRS also works to inform and engage American Catholics about poverty and injustice overseas. CRS supports local parish outreach, fair trade, farmer to farmer support, advocacy, and high school and college programs in the U.S. Financial Information: In FY 2004, CRS’ annual operating expenses totaled $571,495. Almost half of this amount was spent on emergency relief programs, with the remainder of program expenses divided between agriculture, education, HIV/AIDS, and other development programs. CRS maintains a low overhead cost structure, with almost 95% of funds going directly to programs.

  • Cardinal Baum, Longest Serving U.S. Cardinal, Witnessed and Made History
    Cardinal Baum, longest serving U.S. cardinal, witnessed and made history By Mark Zimmermann Catholic News Service WASHINGTON – Cardinal William W. Baum, the archbishop of Washington from 1973 to 1980, died July 23 at the age of 88 after a long illness. He was a cardinal for 39 years – the longest such tenure in U.S. church history. Cardinal Baum witnessed history from the Second Vatican Council through the election of the first Latin American pope, and he made history himself. By the spring of 2011, he had worn the red cardinal’s hat for nearly 35 years and surpassed the record of Baltimore Cardinal James Gibbons, who had been a cardinal from 1886 until his death in 1921. The soft-spoken Cardinal Baum, whom some of the Vatican’s Swiss Guards called “the gentle cardinal,” found no merit in his longevity. “It’s a gift from God,” he said. Services for Cardinal Baum will include a vigil from 3 p.m.-6:30 p.m., July 30, at St. Matthew’s Cathedral in Washington, a vigil Mass the same day at 7 p.m. and a funeral Mass at the cathedral at 2 p.m. July 31. Interment will be in the crypt of the cathedral. Cardinal Donald W. Wuerl, the current archbishop of Washington, said in a statement that Cardinal Baum would be “remembered for his kindness and dedication to the ministry to which God called him.” “Cardinal Baum was a joy-filled priest with a firm personal commitment to serve the Lord, which he did faithfully for 64 years of ordained life,” Cardinal Wuerl said.
