Elisabeth Watkins was a guest on the Off-Farm Income Podcast in 2018. At that time she was an FFA student at Central Catholic High School in Modesto, California. Amazingly, Elisabeth was already a television cooking personality at that point. She had taken her love for cooking and agriculture, combined them inside and outside the FFA and taken them to incredible heights. She won her way onto a teen cooking challenge television show in New York City while still in high school, came away the winner and that propelled her to many different opportunities. On tomorrow's Ag Business Episode I am profiling a chef and his new cookbook. Going back to what Elisabeth was able to do and continues to do with her culinary skills is the perfect tie in for tomorrow's show, and I am happy to replay her episode again today.

Guido Horst, Chief Editor of the German Catholic weekly Die Tagespost Guido Horst: Pope Benedict's lifting of restrictions on the celebration of the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite according to the 1962 missal did not last as long as he intended: as Pope Emeritus, he witnessed the promulgation of Pope Francis' Motu Proprio Traditionis Custodes. Was he disappointed? Archbishop Gänswein:it hit him very hard. I think it broke Pope Benedict's heart to read the new Motu Proprio, because his intention was to help those who had simply found a home in the old Mass find inner peace, liturgical peace, away from Lefebvre. And if we think for how many centuries the ancient Mass has been a source of spiritual life and nourishment for many people, including many saints, it is impossible to imagine that it no longer has anything to offer. And let us not forget that many young people who were born after Vatican II and who do not fully understand all the drama of the Council - that these young people, while knowing the new Mass, have nonetheless found a spiritual home, a spiritual treasure even in the old Mass. Taking this treasure away from people... well, Guest Seg. - Mark Houck – What nearly killed the Bills player? Vax?

May the Lord be with him and his family during this most difficult time,” - In the statement that was also amplified by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), McCullough described the tragic event as “a classical cardiac arrest,” which was later confirmed to be accurate by the Buffalo Bills, and expressed solidarity in prayer with the entire nation for Hamlin's “complete recovery.” Robert W Malone MD, MS - Watching this all play out in the media and on-line, I do have some thoughts.

This episode features Joe Wos whose passion for drawing mazes and cartoons began at an early age and has shaped his unique career. Over the years, Wos' art has evolved into a whimsical blend of mazes and cartoons that he calls Mazetoons. Regarded as a master maze maker, Wos created the world's largest hand-drawn maze in 2012. Measuring 140 square feet, it features more than 100 illustrations. One of Wos' mural-sized mazes is on permanent display at StarKist's international headquarters, and Wos is the cartoonist who draws the iconic Charlie the Tuna character for the company. For the past 20 years, Wos has been the visiting resident cartoonist of the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, California. In Pittsburgh, Wos founded the ToonSeum, one of three museums dedicated to cartoon arts in the United States. In addition to creating his own art, Wos teaches cartooning at Central Catholic High School as well as by hosting “Cartoon Academy,” a PBS television program that teaches the art of cartooning. Now in its third season, the show recently won two Mid-Atlantic Emmys—Host/Moderator; Educational Content Short Form. During our conversation we explore the challenges and rewards Wos has experienced as he navigated such an unconventional career. Additional information about Joe Wos is available at www.mazetoons.com. His books are available on Amazon.

He is a product of Lawrence Public Schools, Central Catholic High School, and the Boys and Girls Club in Lawrence. As Director of the Middle School at Headwaters School, he brought inclusivity and social justice ideas into every aspect of his work there. Before that, he supported the opening of Magnolia Montessori For All, Austin's First Public Montessori School, serving as Director of Student Affairs and Services. Previously, Roberto served as Assistant Principal at the Guilmette Middle School in Lawrence, MA.

This movement became the beginning of a writing revolution that inspired young people in the city of Lawrence to find their voices through the arts, particularly spoken word poetry and rap. He accomplished this with his former performing arts group, the Soul Kaliber Movement, and by his ability to collaborate with diverse organizations and individuals. Roberto's teaching experience includes serving as an English teacher at Lawrence High School and as a Spanish teacher at St. John's Preparatory School.

On tomorrow's Friday episode I am profiling a woman who supported her families farming lifestyle for 30 years selling Tupperware, driving all over Kansas and Nebraska and working six nights per week. I like my re-cap episodes to flow into my Friday episodes, and I thought this previous interview with Elisabeth Watkins would be perfect. Elisabeth turned something that we all have to do, cooking, into an art form and then into a regular television appearance in Sacramento, California. And, she did this all while she was in the FFA at Central Catholic High School in Modesto, California. Both of these women took tasks that had to be done everyday in their homes and saw the possibility to take it further. This shows that entrepreneurship does not have to be inventing a new software program. All it takes is a will to make it and a creative outlook.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6662LA STORIA DI DIECI ATLETI CATTOLICI ALLE OLIMPIADI DI TOKIOAd esempio la regina del nuoto, Katie Ledecky (detiene tre record mondiali di nuoto stile libero) non ha mai esitato ad affermare la sua fede cattolica e di pregare sempre prima di ogni garada Sito del TimoneTra il 23 luglio e l'8 agosto 2021, si svolgono i Giochi Olimpici a Tokyo, tra tutti coloro che parteciperanno all'evento, 627 atleti americani rappresentano il Paese che guida il record olimpico mondiale con 2.521 medaglie. Ma non è questo l'unico fattore che fa la differenza. Almeno dieci di loro si sono dichiarati pubblicamente cattolici e debitori della loro fede anche in campo sportivo.1) SYDNEY MCLAUGHLINÈ diventata famosa nella sua qualificazione olimpica il 27 giugno scorso. Nei 400 metri ostacoli, l'atleta e studentessa dell'Union Catholic ha spodestato la leader mondiale di questa disciplina, Dalilah Muhammad, chiudendo la gara in 51,90 secondi. Dopo aver stabilito il nuovo record mondiale, McLaughlin non ha esitato ad ammettere che la fede è stata il principale propulsore durante tutta la competizione. «Penso che la più grande differenza quest'anno sia la mia fede, la mia fiducia in Dio e sapere che è Lui che controlla tutto. Finché mi dedicherò al duro lavoro, Lui mi aiuterà a superare ogni ostacolo. E a questo punto non posso davvero fare altro che dargli gloria». In precedenza, ha dichiarato che aggrapparsi a tutto ciò che sapeva e credere che tutto ciò che ha ricevuto provenga da Dio «ha giocato un ruolo importante» nella sua carriera.2) MOLLY SEIDELPer Molly Seidel del Wisconsin, i Giochi di Tokyo saranno il suo debutto alla maratona olimpica. All'età di 18 anni, si diplomò al liceo, dove eccelleva in discipline diverse come il canto e il coro, l'hockey e persino lo sci. Il suo allenatore Brian Borkowski ha evidenziato al Catholic Herald le virtù morali della giovane, in particolare la sua fede e umiltà. «Ho sempre voluto essere come Molly. Non si vergognava affatto [della sua fede]». Ha sottolineato che alle gare fa sempre «il segno della croce, ci mette qualche secondo e so che quello è il momento di lasciarla sola, è il suo momento con Dio». Con un'infanzia e un'educazione religiosa trasmessa dalla nonna, è da lei che imparò a segnarsi prima di ogni gara e a pregare San Giuda per ottenere i risultati. La sua fede segnò anche il suo soggiorno all'Università di Notre Dame. «È stato bello andare a messa, il fatto che le altre ragazze mi chiedessero se volevo andare a messa con loro mi è rimasto impresso». Dopo aver fatto la storia della squadra di football del college di Notre Dame, i Fighting Irish, ha iniziato a lavorare in una caffetteria a Boston e a fare da babysitter. Intanto si stava preparando per la sua prima maratona ad Atlanta, dove ha ottenuto un secondo posto che gli ha permesso di accedere alla squadra olimpica. La sua seconda maratona sarà a Tokyo.3) SKYLAR DIGGINS-SMITHSkylar Diggins-Smith è un'altra delle atlete cattoliche che parteciperanno ai Giochi Olimpici, in questo caso, nella squadra di basket femminile. Giocatrice dei Phoenix Mercury, quelle di Tokyo saranno le sue prime Olimpiadi, dopo una carriera di successo in cui ha fatto la storia con la sua squadra di basket universitaria, sempre i Fighting Irish, ed è arrivata ad essere descritta come «forse la migliore giocatrice nella storia del il basket femminile di Notre Dame». La sua carriera nella squadra universitaria le ha aperto le porte delll'NBA femminile e poi alle prossime Olimpiadi. Ricorda con apprezzamento l'educazione cattolica ricevuta all'Università, dove frequentava costantemente la messa. 4) GALEN RUPPIl compagno di disciplina di Seidel è Galen Rupp, un fondista di 35 anni di Portland, Oregon. Nel 2004 si è diplomato alla Central Catholic High School di Portland e, come riferito da Catholic News, è un cattolico devoto che prega mentre corre. Queste saranno le quarte Olimpiadi di Rupp. Nel 2008 a Pechino si è classificato tredicesimo nei 10.000 metri e quattro anni dopo a Londra ha conquistato l'argento nella stessa gara.5) GRACE MCCALLUMUn'altra atleta marcatamente cattolica in questi giochi è la ginnasta Grace McCallum. Come pubblicato su Religión en Libertad , la diciottenne ha iniziato a fare ginnastica all'età di 5 anni e a 13 già partecipava a gare di ginnastica artistica di alto livello. Da allora, affida sempre i risultati delle sue gare alla preghiera. Nata nel 2002, McCallum ha preso Santa Filomena come sua patrona alla sua cresima. L'11 agosto, festa del santo, si sono svolti i campionati americani 2019 e Grace, dopo aver pregato il suo patrono, ha ottenuto un'inaspettata medaglia di bronzo. «È stato incredibile quante persone sono venute da noi e hanno detto che stavano pregando per lei», ha osservato sua madre nel 2019. «Non credo che Grace potesse chiedere di più. Probabilmente niente significa più per lei che far pregare tutti i suoi cari». «Ogni volta che ho una giornata difficile, in palestra o alle gare, so che Dio mi ha dato questo talento. Ho bisogno di usare questo talento e non sprecarlo», ha detto la giovane atleta del The Central Minnesota Catholic, che porta ad ogni gara un rosario nello zaino e una croce che le ha regalato la nonna.6) SIMONE BILESLa compagna di disciplina di McCallum è Simone Biles, una leggenda alle Olimpiadi di Rio de Janeiro 2016 dove ha conquistato quattro ori e un bronzo. È considerata da molti l'erede della mitica Nadia Comaneci. Ai Mondiali 2019 di Stoccarda, a soli 22 anni, è diventata la ginnasta più premiata della storia vincendo 25 medaglie, 19 delle quali d'oro. In più occasioni Simone ha parlato del rosario che porta sempre nella borsa, dono della nonna, e del fatto che prega spesso. Frequenta anche la messa domenicale con i suoi genitori, che hanno avuto un ruolo fondamentale nella sua vita, sostenendola fin da piccola.7) KATIE LEDECKYSoprannominata la regina del nuoto, Katie Ledecky è un'altra cattolica che promette ottimi risultati alle gare di nuoto nella capitale giapponese. Detiene il record mondiale di nuoto stile libero femminile 1500 metri e ha battuto il proprio record mondiale nei 400 e 800 metri. La nuotatrice, che non ha mai esitato ad affermare la sua fede, ha ammesso di pregare sempre prima di ogni gara. «L'Ave Maria è una bella preghiera e mi aiuta a rilassarmi», ha riconosciuto la nuotatrice. È stata la più giovane partecipante degli Stati Uniti alle Olimpiadi di Londra e ha vinto la sua prima medaglia d'oro a soli 15 anni. Riferendosi alle sue molteplici gare, ha detto: «Sono a un grande evento di nuoto con migliaia di persone che guardano, è importante per me prendere tempo per fare spazio a Dio e pensare a Lui. La mia fede cattolica è molto importante per me. Lo è sempre stata e sempre lo sarà. Fa parte di ciò che sono e mi sento a mio agio nel praticarla. Mi aiuta a mettere le cose in prospettiva». [al termine dell'articolo il video del suo record del mondo, N.d.BB]8, 9, 10) LE SORELLE OGWUMIKEUn altro caso rappresentativo è quello delle tre sorelle Ogwumike: Nneka, Chiney ed Erica, di 31, 29 e 23 anni. Cresciute in una famiglia cattolica, non è strano vedere queste giocatrici NBA nigeriane-americane (hanno entrambe le nazionalità) scambiare tweet con il loro pastore, Sean P. Horrigan. In un'occasione, in un thread su Twitter in merito all'espulsione di Chiney dopo una discussione con l'arbitro nel bel mezzo di una partita, il parroco ha scherzato: «Ricordagli che le sue confessioni sono il mercoledì e il sabato alle 18:00». A causa di un conflitto sportivo che rasenta il diplomatico, la sorella maggiore, Nneka, 31 anni, non potrà partecipare ai Giochi di Tokyo. Il motivo è il regolamento della Federazione Internazionale di Basket, che vieta ai giocatori che hanno gareggiato con un Paese di partecipare a campionati internazionali in un'altra squadra. Qualcosa che colpisce in prima persona la maggiore delle sorelle, che ha gareggiato a fianco degli Stati Uniti ai Mondiali 2018.

On this week's edition of the Glass and Out Podcast, we're joined by Boston Bruins skating and skills coach Kim Brandvold. At just 39-years old and only two seasons of experience in the NHL, Brandvold has already become one of the most well-respected skills coaches in hockey, with a bright future still ahead of him. Following a playing career that saw him represent Norway's U20 men's national team and play four seasons for the Umass-Lowell River Hawks, the Oslo native decided to get into coaching. Under the mentorship of coaching legend Paul Vincent, Brandvold gained experience at his Massachusetts Hockey Development Camps. He would then join Central Catholic High School as an associate head coach, and would later take over the program in 2016. He also got involved with Boston's minor hockey scene, running development clinics, and helping out local teams. It's during this time that Brandvold began to refine his craft and acquire the details needed to work with younger players, that would eventually lead to him working his way to the NHL. Find out how starting at the grassroots level helped prepare him for a career in the pros, his insights into how he develops world class skaters, and how he's learned to gain the trust of some of the game's elite talent.

To know my cousin Paul is to know his family, especially his mom and dad, my Aunt Susie and Uncle Max. Although they love each other and have a funny way of saying it, they love talking about Paul way more. He was the “love of their life” (their two daughters don’t mind them saying it, either, because they know it’s true.) So when Paul was killed in the line of duty, their world was turned upside down. This is how it all started. If you listen closely, you can hear Paul laughing.

I have had the opportunity to coach against Frank Kill when he played for a state championship team while he was a student at Lincolnview High School in 1997 and to coach against Frank Kill as the head coach of a state championship team at Lima Central Catholic in 2014. While neither was a particularly pleasant experience, I observed the same passion, energy and dedication to the team in both instances. I have also served as the color analyst for LCC broadcasts for three seasons, and I watched Coach Kill compete in the state finals two more, and also coach a team to a 6-17 record. Coach Kill remains a passionate, energetic coach who demands that his players compete at maximum effort and always place team above self. When you here Coach Kill's story you will understand how his personal journey and development have prepared him for the many facets that being a head coach require.

Central Catholic Head Football Coach Mike Moews explains how the Saints fell to the Sages of Monticello.
Michael Berlanga, CPA, owner of Resolutions Now and recent Republican candidate for the Bexar County Appraisal District, joined us for this episode of Life In Accounting: The Where Accountants Go podcast. Humble beginnings… Michael got started down the road to become an accountant at a young age. Although his original thoughts were to go to seminary, his father passed away unexpectedly when Michael was only 14 years old and therefore he decided he needed to get through school and into a career as quickly as possible. Accounting ended up being that career choice. Moving fast… You will likely catch onto this theme early in the podcast, but just in case you don't, Michael definitely isn't one to sit still or be satisfied with moving at an average pace. He graduated in 3 years from Central Catholic High School, graduated from college in 3 years as well, and then left public accounting around the age of 24 due to feeling “burned out” because he felt like he wasn't able to move up as fast as he felt he should. This drive led him into pursuing self-employment in both real estate and accounting services as a method of speeding up his career progression and going at his own pace. And eventually… politics! About 10 years ago Michael was approached by a pastor friend about running for City Council, a move that led him to making the connections that landed him as a Senior Advisor to Texas Representative John Garza for a little over a year. That activity eventually expanded into taking the chance on running for a state senate seat as well as the county tax assessor-collector position. While neither campaign panned out, there are definitely some insights you can gain from the story of the experience that Michael shares. Christian Business Chamber Michael also serves as the President of the Christian Business Chamber of Commerce, a San Antonio based organization. You'll pick this up during sections of the interview as well that continuing to grow this organization that is a blend of two very important areas of his life, faith and business, is high on his priority list. I wasn't clear if he would continue to pursue political offices, but it was obvious that growing the Chamber was going to be an ongoing pursuit. There are several insights about career, business, and overall life in this episode. I hope you enjoy. There's more to come!

Cut the BS - Effective PR: Public Relations or PR is a strategic communication process that builds mutually beneficial relationships between organizations and their publics. PR involves building relationships and communicating with an organization's key target audiences. In other words, it is based on trust and providing honest and accurate information presented clearly and of course in a way that positions the organization in the most positive way possible in light of the facts.PR as an industry faces a number of challenges. Like any discipline, PR is misperceived by many people outside the industry. Think of how finance and accounting people are still misperceived as bean counters or only concerned about the bottom line... as if all financial and accounting people are unable to see beyond a basic spreadsheet of numbers. The same happens with PR. The term “spin doctor” comes to mind and how the average person thinks PR is about“pivoting”or twisting the truth.Also like any discipline, PR has its share of bad actors. Just like some CFO's aren't as ethical as others, some PR practitioners aren't as truthful as others.The industry needs to fight back when one of our own hurts the entire field of PR.We had that happen when Sean Spicer, the new White House Press Secretary for President Donald Trump was less than truthful during his first press conference.Now, let me be clear. Both sides of the political aisle are full of bull. I don't care if I offend the 80% of zealots out there who only listen to their side of issues, who follow the entertainment channels MSNBC and Fox, yes entertainment channels NOT news outlets because both are completely biased.This is not a rant against Trump. Far too many people weren't objective in January of 2009 or in January of 2017. It's actually funny to watch because the people who were complaining in 2009 about negative response to the president are now the ones being negative about the president. Talk about alternative facts.But back to Sean Spicer. When it comes to PR, the rules of the game are tell the truth while presenting your organization's side of the story in as positive of a light as possible. Don't make shit up. And if you feel compelled to make shit up, know that you'll be found out. So don't do it, but if you just can't help yourself, try not to BS about something that's pretty much irrelevant.Most people don't really care how many people attend an inauguration. The people that voted for the winner still believe they were right regardless of the attendance at the inauguration. The people who didn't vote for the winner still believes they were right regardless of the size of the crowd.But yes it's bigger than that. PR is a noble profession. Communication to key target audiences or the lack thereof plays a major role in an organization's success or failure. Successful PR involves building mutually beneficial relationships with those key target audiences which requires telling the truth while telling your side of the story in the most positive light.Interview with Howard RussellMr Howard Russell is a born-and-raised Pittsburgh kid whom attended Central Catholic High School, the "best school period" according to him. He attended IUP for undergrad and Kent State for grad school. He tells us that after graduation he visited offices of INROADS seeking assistance in job placement and ended up taking a job within the company instead. Here he began his long career of giving back by helping young students receive placements in competitive internships. He maintains that his first boss at INROADS helped to develop his presentation skills through practice and preparation.After a series of career stepping stones through acquisitions and investments Howard became owner of Custom Nuclear Fabrication which involves the fabrication of spent fuel storage canisters and related products for the domestic and global commercial nuclear power industry.

Summary of today's show: On a special Thursday news edition of the show, Scot Landry, Susan Abbott, Fr. Roger Landry, and Gregory Tracy discuss the week's headlines, including the Pilot special report on a Boston pilgrimage to Cuba; the retirement of three long-serving pastors; the sale of St. James in Wellesley; National Catholic Education Association convention in Boston next week; and a profile of the work of the diocesan archives. Finally, the panel took some time to discuss the importance of the Easter Triduum, especially Holy Thursday and Good Friday and the unique differences from all other liturgies. Listen to the show: Today's host(s): Scot Landry and Susan Abbott Today's guest(s): Fr. Roger Landry, executive editor of The Anchor, the newspaper of the Fall River diocese; and Gregory Tracy, managing editor of The Pilot, the newspaper of the Boston archdiocese Links from today's show: Some of the stories discussed on this show will be available on The Pilot's and The Anchor's websites on Friday morning. Please check those sites for the latest links. Today's topics: Visiting Cuba; retiring pastors; diocesan archives; the Triduum 1st segment: Scot wished Susan a blessed Triduum. He said what stands out for him today is that there isn't a Mass today at the Pastoral Center. Susan said the Holy Thursday Mass of the Last Supper is worth waiting for. Fr. Roger said the Chrism Mass is traditionally held on Thursday morning. There can also be a Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord's Supper for those whom it would be impossible to attend the regular evening Mass, but that requires a bishops' permission. Scot said part of the Holy Thursday observance is to process from the Church with the Blessed Sacrament to a place of reservation to hold vigil with the Lord. Scot wanted to start with the news this week, especially the Pilot's special coverage of Pope Benedict's trip to Cuba. Greg said he and his wife, Donis, who wrote most of the articles, accompanied a delegation of Boston pilgrims who went to Havana to go to Mass with the Holy Father, but also visited cultural sites as well as the work of Caritas Cubana, the Church's social service agency. Donis also wrote a story detailing Cardinal Seán's long relationship with the Cuban people. When he was first a priest in Washington, DC, he worked closely with Cuban-Americans in serving refugees and others. Scot said the Cardinal talked a bout how conditions in Cuba changed significantly after 1998 when Pope John Paul II visited Cuba. The cardinal went to Cuba in 2003 for an apostolic visitation of the seminaries. “I found that of the 80 or so seminarians, 90 percent of them were converts who attributed their conversion to [Pope] John Paul II's visit to Cuba,” he said. Scot noted that Raul Castro declared Good Friday to be a national holiday this year after Pope Benedict's visit. Cardinal Seán said, “Hopefully the Church will be allowed a greater presence in the media — in Catholic radio, Catholic newspapers, and the like… and will be allowed to have a Church presence in schools and hospitals, something that today they are not allowed to do.” He added, “I think the Holy Father's presence brought the world's attention to Cuba, which is a good thing because it helps to put pressure on the government to continue to change and to allow greater freedom to the people of Cuba,” he said, “which is something we would all like to see.” Fr. Roger said being in the presence of Christ's Vicar on earth is a powerful reminder that the reason for the Pope was Peter and the reason for Peter was Jesus and it's all real. It's a powerful reminder that the Christian story is all true and it's not just history, but a present reality. He said it's also curious that while Good Friday will be a civil holiday, we also heard that 42 Cubans arrested during the visit last week that they will remain in prison through the Triduum. Scot said he enjoyed the profile of the Educational Travel Alliance, which has been leading trips to Cuba for the last 10 years. He noted that the founder has personal reasons for this work. For Eizenberg, the trips are also closely linked to his personal experiences. He said the words of his mother, a survivor of a Nazi death camp, echo in his mind whenever he brings a group to Cuba. “She used to say, ‘We knew we were really in trouble when no one was coming (to Germany) anymore and we were left alone with them,'” said Eizenberg. “I don't want that to happen to the Cuban people anymore,” he added. In the future Eizenberg is hoping to develop a campus ministry program facilitate student mission trips to Cuba. “Campus ministries go everywhere in the world to help people, but they don't go to Cuba,” he explained. “We shouldn't keep Cuba off the map,” he said. Greg said the more they got to know the travel organizers the more they realized that there was a story in their work and mission. Greg said his impression of Cuba is that it's a country stuck in time. It's essentially stuck in 1959, at the moment of revolution. “Cuba is unlike any other place we have taken anyone,” added Rice. “You feel like you are really touching people's lives — be it the tour guides, the waiters, everyone — which is unlike anywhere else in the world since now society is so homogenized everywhere.” “By nature, the American people are very generous,” added Eizenberg, noting that people who go on his exchanges often come laden with everything from soaps and spices to nail polish and children's toys — items that can be found on any U.S. store shelf but can be nearly impossible to obtain for ordinary Cuban citizens. Susan said thought it was interesting how Eizenberg said he was immediately hooked on Cuba and thought he could make a little difference. She said one doesn't have to change the world, if you can change one person's life. Greg said his group visited a senior center and brought little fun-sized candy bars to hand out and one of the women said these were extremely valuable. She said her grandchildren might see one of these per year if they're lucky. 2nd segment: Scot noted the news of official appointments in the Pilot this week, including the granting of senior priest/retirement status effective June 5: Fr. Richard Crowley, pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in Middleborough, Fr. Francis Daley, pastor of Sts. Martha and Mary, Lakeville, and Fr. James Rafferty, pastor of St. Paul in Hingham. Fr. Rafferty received an award as a priest of the year on Tuesday after the Chrism Mass. Susan noted her work with Fr. Crowley and how much he has done in that parish, along with the other pastors. Scot said the parish in Lakeville is in a beautiful location. Scot said Fr. Jim Rafferty took some heat a couple of years ago for a decision he made about admission of child of a lesbian couple. Fr. Roger wrote an editorial at the time about how Fr. Rafferty took heat for this decision, which he believes was appropriate given that the child would have been taught at school that her situation at home was immoral. Fr. Roger said Fr. Rafferty was really looking out for the best interests of that child. Fr. Roger noted that Fr. Rafferty is looked up to by all priests, young and old, and has set a good example of being a pastor. Scot said he was impressed by the way Fr. Rafferty handled that situation. Also in the Pilot is Vatican approval of the sale of the former parish church of St. James to the town of Wellesley where they will build an athletic center. Scot noted that the parish had been in vigil for several years and he hopes that this will bring closure and help the town of Wellesley. There is a special insert in the Pilot this week for the National Catholic Education Association, which will hold its national conference in Boston next week. Susan said it's a very large event over three days. It attracts national speakers and lots of attention. She said it's convenient for the conference to come to Boston because they don't get to travel for conventions lately. Scot said the Inner City Scholarship Fund had it's annual dinner to raise $3.7 million for Catholic school scholarships. Greg said they always want to do a story to acknowledge the work that they do. One of the students who receive help spoke at the dinner. In making the announcement Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Tucci also recognized Fortune Kalala, a senior at Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, who was the evening's student speaker. Fortune, a scholarship recipient and honor roll student, moved to Lawrence when he was 13 from Mozambique where he had lived in a refugee camp with his family. After years of fleeing political unrest and civil war, Fortune began the 7th grade not knowing any English. After two years of hard work, he was accepted to Central Catholic High School and was able to attend because of a scholarship provided by the Inner City Scholarship Fund. In the Anchor this week is a profile of the Archives of the Diocese of Fall River. Fr. Roger said it's part of a continuing series on diocesan agencies. He said the Archives keep the history of the diocese. Those records are very important for future Catholics to understand what happened in the past. Susan said Robert Johnson Lally, the archivist in Boston, has been extremely helpful for her when she researches her own topics. She finds the material to be gripping and amusing. Scot said he went through the archives once to read all the files used to plan the visit of Pope John Paul II to Boston in 1979. 3rd segment: This week's benefactor card raffle winner is Joseph Szymanski from Boston, MA He wins the CD “The Truth” by Fr. Larry Richards and “The Stations of the Cross in Masterpiece Art,” a set of 6”x9” prints. If you would like to be eligible to win in an upcoming week, please visit .

We'll be announcing the winner each Wednesday during “The Good Catholic Life” program. 4th segment: Scot and Fr. Roger discussed that the Triduum is a season of its own, inaugurating the Easter season. Scot said one of his favorite George Weigel columns, “Easter changes everything.” In the Gospel readings of the Easter Octave, the Church annually remembers the utterly unprecedented nature of the paschal event, and how it exploded expectations of what God's decisive action in history would be. No one gets it, at first; for what has happened bursts the previous limits of human understanding. The women at the empty tomb don't understand, and neither do Peter and John. The disciples on the road to Emmaus do not understand until they encounter the Risen One in the Eucharist, the great gift of paschal life, offered by the new Temple, the divine Presence, himself. At one encounter with the Risen Lord, the Eleven think they're seeing a ghost; later, up along the Sea of Galilee, it takes awhile for Peter and John to recognize that “It is the Lord!” (John 21:7). These serial episodes of incomprehension, carefully recorded by the early Church, testify to the shattering character of Easter, which changed everything: the first disciples' understanding of history, of life-beyond-death, of worship and its relationship to time (thus Sunday, the day of Easter, becomes the Sabbath of the New Covenant). Easter also changed the first disciples' understanding of themselves and their responsibilities. They were the privileged ones who must keep alive the memory of Easter: in their preaching, in their baptizing and breaking of bread, and ultimately in the new Scriptures they wrote. They were the ones who must take the Gospel of the Risen One to “all nations,” in the sure knowledge that he would be with them always (Matthew 28:19-20). They were to “be transformed” (Romans 12:2). So are we. Fr. Roger's editorial this week examines the heart of Holy Week, which the Heart of the Christian faith and life itself. The heart is who Jesus is and what he's trying to do. Pope Benedict notes that the people around Jesus at first acclaimed an idol of their own imagination rather the Jesus as the real Messiah and King. Jesus came to give witness to the truth. Jesus is the axis of truth on which everything depends. In being crucified, Christ becomes the power and wisdom of God. We need to recognize Jesus as the truth and not separate him from the truth that he taught. In our relativistic age, people reject the idea of truth. Scot noted that this Holy Thursday is a much bigger deal than Opening Day for the baseball season. Susan said these three days are the jewel in the crown of our liturgical year. We celebrate and remember the ongoing Eucharist in our lives. These aren't holy days of obligation, but Susan said her church is packed at every service because how much richer Easter is when we've walked the walk with Jesus. Scot said some will ask why they're not holy days of obligation. Fr. Roger said the Church would never dream of making something so significant mandatory. A practicing Christian would never be forced to go; they're going to want to be there. That's how it's supposed to be for us as Christians. To call it an obligation would be to downgrade it. Scot noted that the Holy Thursday Mass has two significant differences: the washing of the feet of 12 men and that the Mass has no actual dismissal, but continues to a place of adoration. Greg noted that the connection to the Passover seder and how the least important person, usually the youngest child, would wash to hands of all those present. Jesus takes this last place and then goes further to wash feet, which in the Middle East feet are considered lowly and unclean. Fr. Roger noted that the Book of Revelations says were are cleansed in the blood of the Lamb, and Jesus takes on the form of a slave to wash us in his own Blood. Then he gives us the chalice of his Blood, where he continues his love to the extreme. He institutes the priesthood to continue to feed us and wash us across time and space. Like a parent for a small child, Jesus washes us and feeds us. Scot noted that on Good Friday, it isn't a Mass, we hear the Passion from the Gospel of John, and we have the veneration of the Cross. We also pray profound prayers of petition for the world. Susan said we are a Church of sign and symbol and much of what we do doesn't have words. We hear the Passion of the Lord and we kiss the cross, and it's a powerful action. Scot said there will not be an episode of The Good Catholic Life on Good Friday and wished all listeners a Happy Easter. 5th segment:
