  • Why I Joined the Fne
    WHY I JOINED THE FNE by Pierre de Rosa It is time to light a candle. I had the good fortune to visit with Paul Ritchie, the General Commissioner of the Federation of North American Explorers (FNE) in October 2013. He was bringing a group of youth on a visit to Buffalo and Niagara Falls. What I saw impressed me deeply. Twenty-five boys and girls, all dressed in full uniform, were praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet on their knees on the steps of the altar at Our Lady of Victory Basilica, in Lackawanna, New York. No one forced them; they were there willingly. FNE is a Catholic youth development program, modeled The lesson of Father Baker.

Glass, bishop of Salt Lake City, Utah, from 1915 until 1926, was the last Vincentian to be appointed a bishop in the continen- tal United States and the first since 1868. "How or why a relatively obscure pastor in Los Angeles was given that post is not clear."' If asked how the appointment came about, older Vincentians usually answer "through the influence of the Dohenys."2 It is a natural re- sponse, given Glass's close friendship with the oil baron and his wife. That very closeness, however, presents a difficulty. It is unlikely that Glass or his friends would deliberately seek a post that would remove him from the fleshpots of Chester Place (the Doheny residence in Los Angeles) and exile him to a remote diocese that was geographically the most extensive in the United States and that had a small Catholic population.

Yet while it’s one thing to hold a particular belief, it’s something upon each of us so that our lives proclaim our belief in Christ to the world. more to take action on it.
