Black Catholics: After years of service, Carolyn Jenkins retires from St. Peter Claver Center Anyone who knows about the work of the St. Peter Claver Center for Evangelization, knows that the force behind it has always been Carolyn Jenkins. Profile: Promoting life and love Christine and Larry Grove never imagined that they would one day become mentors in the Marriage Preparation Program run by the archdiocesan Office of Marriage and Family — especially considering that Larry was not a Catholic when they married. He was a non-practicing Protestant, and she was a practicing Catholic. Spiritually, they weren’t equally yoked, Christine Grove admits, but at the time, that didn’t seem to matter. Vocations: ‘God or Girl’ series is ‘good tool’ for discerning vocations A&E’s recent reality miniseries, “God or the Girl,” took a look at four Catholic men who felt they might have a call to the priesthood, but were uncertain whether they had what it takes to become a priest.

Original Encounters: Creating families in the Lord The woman was a lapsed Catholic, separated from her husband, estranged from her family. A priest convinced her to go on a Self Encounter weekend to get back in touch with herself and God. 'So much need' Soup kitchens and food cupboards often carry the stigma of being grim places. Sanctuaries, yes, but no one really wants to be there. Those being served are reminded that they are dependent on the goodwill of others. Those serving are often just there to punch in for an hour of altruism before returning to their better lives. Bringing the Eucharistic life to children Making the liturgy come alive for children doesn’t have to be difficult — at least not anymore. There is no separation between faith and the way life is lived Arthur Hippler is no stranger to the common miscon-ceptions found among Catholics about the Church’s social doctrine. |
