Download or read book A Catholic Pilgrimage through American History written by Kevin Schmiesing and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2022-04-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Awarded third place in pilgrimages/Catholic travel by the Catholic Media Association. Historian Kevin Schmiesing takes you to more than two-dozen sites and events that symbolize and embody America’s rich and sometimes tumultuous Catholic past, including the Santa Fe Trail, Gettysburg, and the Bourbon Trail. You’ll also meet both famous and infamous Catholics—including Augustus Tolton, Dr. Samuel Mudd, and Frances Cabrini—who impacted our nation’s history. The idea for A Catholic Pilgrimage through American History came from Schmiesing’s mother, he says. She turned every childhood vacation into a pilgrimage, purposely inserting religious sites into the family’s journey to places such as Niagara Falls, Washington, DC, or Myrtle Beach. Catholics have been part of the American experiment since the beginning—in founding the colonies and expanding the west, building education and health care systems, abolishing slavery, fighting on the front lines, and advancing science, technology, and space exploration. Each of the twenty-seven sites on Schmiesing’s virtual itinerary—including, the Washington Monument, Wounded Knee Creek, the University of Notre Dame, and Mission San Diego de Alcalá—transports you to a significant time in US history and connects the dots to our Catholic heritage. You will meet notable Catholics such as John F. Kennedy, Black Elk, and Katharine Drexel, and learn more about their contributions to history. You will explore the various and sometimes conflicting roles Catholics have played in key periods and events through the stories of shrines, memorials, and other historic places including: the Catholic Plymouth Rock—St. Mary’s City, Maryland; the Bourbon Trail—Church of St. Thomas, Bardstown, Kentucky; the Pope’s Stone—the Washington Monument in the District of Columbia; a Catholic mission and a Native American tragedy: Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota; and the home of the first Black priest—the churches of Quincy, Illinois.

Download or read book An American Abbot written by Jerome Oetgen and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a newly revised and expanded version of An American Abbot, the biography of Boniface Wimmer, O.S.B., published twenty years ago by the Archabbey Press. In preparing the new edition, Jerome Oetgen has thoroughly reexamined the primary sources, added material from additional sources, and taken into account the results of scholarly research on American Catholic and Benedictine history published since 1976. The achievement of Boniface Wimmer, the father of the Benedictine presence in the United States, has been generally underestimated in the history of American Catholicism. Modern historians of the Catholic Church in the United States have tended to neglect the story of Catholicism on the American rural frontier where between 1830 and 1860 the majority of the 1.5 million German immigrants settled. It was chiefly to serve these farm-bound immigrants that Wimmer came to America in 1846, and for the next forty years, as his evangelization efforts expanded to include Irish, African Americans, Native Americans, and immigrants from eastern Europe, he consistently exhibited the traditional Benedictine preference to establish monasteries and religious centers in farming regions and to work among the people of the countryside rather than those of the cities. In his own lifetime Wimmer was widely esteemed both by the American hierarchy for his distinguished pastoral work and by European ecclesiastical and monastic leaders for the crucial role he played in the nineteenth-century revival and development of Benedictine monasticism. Though his work may not have brought him to center stage in the American Catholic Church, he was nonetheless one of the key supporting actors. This biography assesses his part and lasting importance. Jerome Oetgen is a U.S. foreign service officer currently on assignment as director of the Fulbright Exchange Program for Latin America and the Caribbean at the United States Information Agency in Washington, D.C. He has published numerous articles on the history of the American Benedictines. ""This work of nonfiction contains several of the key ingredients of a classic adventure story. . . . The serious student of American religion cannot afford to ignore this biography.""--The Heythrop Journal ""Oetgen has rewritten our understanding of the founder of American monasticism, creating in the process a work of enduring value. . . .""-Dom Paschal Baumstein, O.S.B., Belmont Abbey College ""No one who is interested in the history of religion in America or in the fortunes of this venerable Benedictine order will want to overlook this fine work.""-Demetrius R. Dumm, O.S.B., Saint Vincent Archabbey ""This revised edition is filled with new information. . . . Wimmer, dedicated, single minded, stubborn, made history. Oetgen has done a commendable job of writing it.""-Prof. David J. O'Brien, College of the Holy Cross ""Oetgen has written a revised and expanded version of the unique historical record of Boniface Wimmer. In doing so, he gives the reader an even deeper appreciation of Wimmer's role as monastic pioneer in the context of nineteenth-century American Catholicism.""-F. Joel Rippinger, O.S.B., Marmion Abbey ""Every so often a figure comes along who captures the spirit of the times and is able to use that insight to spread the gospel. Boniface Wimmer did just that.""-Rembert G.
