At our Bishop’s request the re-consecration of our church is scheduled for October 7, 2007. He will also bless our Our Lady of Fatima Rectory, and a new Franciscan hospice for the homeless in Ussurysk earlier in the week. Sorry about the changes! organizations here in Russia are brand new, and there is much about them that needs improvement. Due to personnel problems, and in order to improve the organizational structure, the Catholic charitable organization "Caritas," which was begun by Bishop Joseph Werth, S.J., in 1992, simply needed to be reorganized, and Fr Myron, as the Dean of the Vladivostok Deanery, began tackling the problem in January of this year. Among other things, it was necessary to come up with plans for restructuring the entire WSC project and to find new directors for some of the Centers. That is where I came in. I'm the one who is "just beginning". Fr. Myron asked me to take on the duties of coordinating all the Women's Support Centers in the Deanery. I accepted the task even though I had no special training. I am not a doctor nor a psychologist, nor a nurse. I was not even a director of one of the Centers. I am a teacher and a religious sister of the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Ann.

Abstract Growth in human movement around the world has been one of the phenomenal aspects of globalization since the Second World War. Among these ‘people on the move’ those whom the United Nations Humanitarian Commission for Refugees has described as ‘persons of concern’ – refugees, displaced persons etc. – have increased at an alarming rate. They are now well in excess of the global population growth rate over the same period Many of these have moved into adjacent poorer developing countries but increasingly many are seeking asylum, either through official United Nations’ channels or through on-shore arrivals, in developing nations.

To its northwest lies the Windward Passage, a strip of water that separates Haiti from the island of Cuba by approximately fifty miles. 1 Throughout the 1980s and 1990s the Windward Passage has been used as the maritime route of choice by boatpeople fleeing Haiti for political reasons or seeking greater economic opportunity abroad.2 * Assistant General Counsel, United States Catholic Conference.

  • Social Contributions of the Catholic Church and Regional Solidarity: Analysis of the Korean-Japanese Conferences of Catholic Bishops
    Korea Journal, vol. 59, no. 3 (autumn 2019): 5–26. © The Academy of Korean Studies, 2019 Social Contributions of the Catholic Church and Regional Solidarity: Analysis of the Korean-Japanese Conferences of Catholic Bishops Young-Kyun CHOI Abstract This study focuses on the history of regional solidarity among Catholic churches in East Asia as civil society organizations within the axiological frame of peace and social order. This paper endeavors to show the significant role of the Korean-Japanese Catholic bishops conferences, which have developed over 20 years, not only in contributing to civil and social solidarity but also to congeniality between the Korean and Japanese people. The cooperative activities of the Korean and Japanese bishops, which have their origins in efforts to deal with the historical issues between Korea and Japan, are considered purposeful undertakings in support of peace and order in the East Asia region. With the passage of time, the solidarity of the bishops has developed toward solving diverse regional social dislocation issues. The thrust of the bishops’ unified action can be seen in two aspects. The first is the bishops’ view that society, to become peaceful and mature, requires structural changes, and thus the cooperative efforts of the Korean and Japanese bishops have a socio-political orientation. The second aspect is its role as social charity, that is, volunteer work on behalf of the impoverished and social minorities. When regional peace and cooperation are threatened by the self-interests of nation-states, the case of regional cooperation by a religious organization demonstrates how civil society is able to contribute to the progress and peace of a given region beyond the efforts of national governments.

"The biggest purchasers of these porn magazines are the 12-17 year- olds," Kelly told the audience, many of whom registered surprise at his statement. Pornography was only one of the many topics addressed by more than 200 women who attended the seventh bicnnal conference of the Florida Council of Catholic Women at the Konover Hotel in Miami Beach last week. The women from around the state also listened to experts on migrant labor, pro-life, and family life, during two days of presentations on the theme, "Peace in Today's World."
