Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Church people in the U.S. can make this age of affluence an age of intentional miracles. The State of Church Giving through 2021: Intentional Miracles (May 2024) is the 33rd edition in empty tomb, inc.’s The State of Church Giving series. Chapter 8 casts a vision of the potential for church members to impact, in Jesus’ name, one of the worst tragedies of our time: the number of children under the age of 5 dying from treatable causes, particularly in 40 countries. Other chapters in the new book update numbers for church member giving and membership through 2021 including: a series for 1968-2021; a larger group for 2020-2021; a group of 11 denominations for 1921-2021; projections in giving and membership based on past patterns; and the basis for the confidence that there is potential among church members in the U.S. to increase their impact on this hurting world. Another chapter looks at giving patterns among all Americans through an analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey data for 2021. Chapter 8 focuses on key points: What is an intentional miracle? How does pursuing intentional miracles prepare for the future? What makes this present time so special regarding intentional miracles? What would an intentional miracle look like? Are intentional miracles even possible?

Download or read book Teach Me to Be Generous written by Anthony D. Andreassi and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2014-03-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teach Me to Be Generous tells the remarkable story of Regis High School, the Jesuit school on New York’s Upper East Side that was founded in 1914 by an anonymous donor as a school for Catholic boys whose families could not otherwise afford a Catholic education. Enabled by the philanthropy of the founding family for nearly a century, and now by alumni and friends carrying on that tradition of generosity, Regis has been able to provide tuition-free, all-scholarship education for its entire history. It also holds the distinction of being the first free-standing Jesuit high school in the United States, with no connection to any Jesuit colleges or universities. Regis High School’s unique story is told by an engaging storyteller and historian who has taught at the school for more than ten years. Father Andreassi offers captivating glimpses into the lives and daily experiences of Regis’s students and faculty while chronicling the development of the school’s educational philosophy and spiritual approach in its first century. Filled with entertaining anecdotes alongside wider historical context and illuminating statistical analysis, Teach Me to Be Generous tracks Regis High School through the decades of the twentieth century to the present day—from the generosity of a devout Catholic widow, through the Depression and World War II, to changes in demographics of the Catholic community and shifts in the landscape of Catholic education in New York City. During the school’s first few decades, Regis admitted thousands of Catholic boys, mostly from poor or lower-middle-class families, helping prepare them for success in college and leadership positions in the professions. Because of the closing of dozens of urban Catholic schools and the general decline of the quality of New York City’s public schools, in more recent years the school has faced the challenge of remaining true to its mission in offering an education to Catholic boys “who otherwise would not be able to afford a Catholic education.” Teach Me to Be Generous paints a vivid portrait of the first one hundred years of an exceptional institution and looks with hope and confidence to its future.

Download or read book The Faithful written by James M. O’Toole and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-30 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shaken by the ongoing clergy sexual abuse scandal, and challenged from within by social and theological division, Catholics in America are at a crossroads. But is today’s situation unique? And where will Catholicism go from here? With the belief that we understand our present by studying our past, James O’Toole offers a bold and panoramic history of the American Catholic laity. O’Toole tells the story of this ancient church from the perspective of ordinary Americans, the lay believers who have kept their faith despite persecution from without and clergy abuse from within. It is an epic tale, from the first settlements of Catholics in the colonies to the turmoil of the scandal-ridden present, and through the church’s many American incarnations in between. We see Catholics’ complex relationship to Rome and to their own American nation. O’Toole brings to life both the grand sweep of institutional change and the daily practice that sustained believers. The Faithful pays particular attention to the intricacies of prayer and ritual—the ways men and women have found to express their faith as Catholics over the centuries. With an intimate knowledge of the dilemmas and hopes of today’s church, O’Toole presents a new vision and offers a glimpse into the possible future of the church and its parishioners. Moving past the pulpit and into the pews, The Faithful is an unmatched look at the American Catholic laity. Today’s Catholics will find much to educate and inspire them in these pages, and non-Catholics will gain a newfound understanding of their religious brethren.
Download or read book Death of an Altar Boy written by E.J. Fleming and published by Exposit. This book was released on 2018-04-18 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tragic death of 13-year-old Danny Croteau in 1972 faded from headlines and memories for 20 years until the Boston abuse scandal--a string of assaults within the Catholic Church--exploded in the early 2000s. Despite numerous indications--including 40 claims of sexual misconduct with minors--pointing to him as Croteau's killer, the Reverend Richard R. Lavigne remains "innocent." Drawing on more than 10,000 pages of police and court records and interviews with Danny's friends and family, fellow abuse victims, and church officials, the author uncovers the truth--church complicity in a cover up and the masking of priests' involvement in a ring of abusive clergy--behind Croteau's death and those who had a hand in it.
