This Week's Issue The Word Became Flesh Cardinal Rigali's weekly column. Read it here. JPII Regional School 'A good model for the diocese' Erin and Bill Myles of St. Cecilia Parish, Coatesville, had a logistics problem. They had three kids in parochial school — Conor, a seventh-grader, had to be driven to St. Joseph School in Coatesville; Kathleen, in grade five, had to go to St. Stanislaus Kostka, also in Coatesville, and Maeve, in grade three, attended at St. Cecilia. Catholic Charities kickoff For Catholics who have proved through the years that charity begins at home, it was appropriate that the 2007 Catholic Charities Appeal Kickoff was the first major gathering of Catholics in the Archdiocese since its bicentennial year officially opened on April 8. “As Catholics of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, we have so much to be proud of … in two centuries,” Cardinal Justin Rigali said in his address at the April 12 kickoff at the Sheraton City Center Hotel. Old St. Joseph: A history of evangelization and service to the poor Thanks to William Penn’s 1701 Charter of Privileges for Pennsylvania, when Old St. Joseph Church was erected in 1733, it was the only place in the English-speaking colonies to publicly celebrate the Catholic Mass. |
