American Catholic Almanac November 9: A More Certain Path

The Gilded Age brought tremendous economic growth to America. It also brought skepticism, greed, and rapid social change. Charles Bonaparte believed his Church could help with those problems. The prominent Baltimore attorney (and future US Secretary of the Navy and US Attorney General) knew the Catholic Church possessed what the culture increasingly lacked — truth. And when the American bishops convened on November 9, 1884, for the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, Bonaparte greeted them with a plea: offer the country a more certain path than the robber barons. Bonaparte delivered that plea during a reception at the Council’s outset, saying:

In our day and country two classes of thinking men contemplate [the times] with ever-increasing anxie-ty. Many see, with alarm and distress fast deepen-ing into silent despair, religious faith in themselves and others fading into a dim uncertainty… [Others] note in the American people a blunting of the sense of justice; a growing dimness of moral sight; an inability to distinguish clearly and promptly between right and wrong; a tendency to resolve ethics to blind sentiment; in short, a dis-tortion and maiming of the national conscience… To your assembly are turned, now when our wants are most sorely felt, the eyes of those who seek… They leave with confidence to your wis-dom the means by which the good cause may be made to prosper; but they ask with earnestness and humility… that through this Councill [God] may make the American people more worthy of His priceless gift — their civil and religious liberty.

Before the close of the Council, the bishops answered Bo-naparte’s plea. Convinced that the solution to America’s (and Cath-olics’) confusion lay in clear teaching and sound catechesis, they passed resolutions to author a national Catholic catechism, found a national Catholic university, and build Catholic schools in every one of the nation’s parishes. In the years that followed, the prelates and their priests en-acted all three resolutions, which, in turn, helped give rise to the Catholic intellectual, literary, and social justice revival that flour-ished in the first half of the twentieth century.

CHRISTMAS PRISON MINISTRY: The 1100 inmates at Lieber Correctional Institute in Ridgeville have had no visitation at all from their families for eight months due to COVID-19. The inmates rely on family and volunteers to provide them personal hygiene items and they are desperately in need of these items. Some correctional offic-ers at Lieber have reached out to churches and organizations for help in providing supplies for stockings. All of the items all have to go through security so PLEASE DO NOT STUFF THE STOCKINGS- volunteer inmates will do that at Lieber. Requested items: simple red felt stockings, homemade or available at the Dollar Store for $1.00 each; regular size toothbrushes and regular size tooth paste; bars of regular size soap; men’s white short sleeved under shirts, various sizes; regular size containers of any type deodorant; candy canes or wrapped cookies or bars; and handwritten cards or notes or hand drawn pictures for encouragement (a perfect way to get children or teens involved.) A bin marked for this prison ministry will be left in the rear of the church until December 6 and delivered to St. Clare of Assisi on Daniel Island. Your generosity is most appreciated. For more in-formation, contact Mary Ann Ridenour, maryannri-denour@yahoo.com

MEN’S CLUB MEETING: The next meeting of the OLGC Men’s Club will be next Thursday, November 12 in Father Kelly Hall. A light snack will be served at 6pm followed by a meeting at 6:30pm. All men of the parish 18 years of age and older are invited to attend.

WOMEN’S GUILD MEETING: A big thank you goes out to the Garage Sale volunteers for a very successful event. We were also able to donate furniture and household goods to veterans and victims of the North Charleston apartment fire. Don't forget, our meeting has been moved to this Tuesday, November 10 at 7 PM in Fr Kelly Hall. Please remember to bring canned meat items for James Island Outreach.

CHRISTMAS WREATH SALE: Since Holy Cross Cemetery opened in 1961, more than 300 babies have been laid to rest in the Angel Garden. Of those, 113 never received a proper memorial. The Angel Memorial Fund was founded in 2017 to raise the necessary funds to place a granite marker on every baby grave. To date, we have be able to provide markers for 86 baby’s graves. To help us achieve our goal, Holy Cross is once again selling 26” Fresh Christmas Wreaths, festively adorned with pine cones and berries. These beautiful wreaths are perfect for decorating your home, giving as gifts, or for honoring a loved one in the cemetery. Wreaths are $35.00 including tax. You may call the office to order and pre-pay for your wreath or, beginning Monday, November 30th, stop by the cemetery to purchase your wreath(s). If you would like to order multiple wreaths, please email Karmin Meade at kmeade@charlestondiocese.org. 604 Fort Johnson Road, Charleston, 843-795-2111.
