As students begin the new semester in Catholic schools around the country, they are being invited to "Celebrate Service" by volunteering in the community or parish. The theme for Catholic Schools Week 2009 is “Catholic Schools Celebrate Service.” Millions of students are expected to participate in observance of this annual event, begun in 1974.
Catholicism has a long and rich tradition of direct service to those in need, as well as social justice efforts to end social ills like racism and gender inequality. The Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy focus on things that each individual believer can do to help others, like feeding the hungry and instructing the ignorant. The Seven Principles of Catholic Social Teaching focus on solving long-term, systemic problems in society, like homelessness, poverty and violence.

Fr. Neuhaus Compared to John Cardinal Henry Newman
A new article on the Catholic Business Journal (www.catholicbusinessjournal.biz) compares the profound, expansive work and cultural impact of Father Richard John Neuhaus to that of John Cardinal Henry Newman, the renown English convert and founder of the Oxford Movement in England in the 1800s.
“The cultural influence of Fr. Neuhaus echoes that of the great Cardinal Newman founder of the Oxford Movement in England, another Catholic convert who profoundly influenced culture through his writings, eloquence and holy life, “ writes Karen Walker of the Catholic Business Journal. “Fr. Neuhaus has been a Cardinal Newman of our era. His death is a huge loss for our culture, but his prolific writings are a tremendous legacy and resource for those who recognize the critical importance of including religion in the public square.”
“Father Neuhaus was like the teacher,” says Catholic Business Journal columnist Tom Loarie. “He articulated, very forcefully and clearly, issues that are fundamental to Catholics and he made them clear.
“Many of us are in the trenches, so to speak,” continues Mr. Loarie. “We can go through life, observe, and have a gut feel for things. But someone like Father Neuhaus is so clear, so logical, that he is able to put that gut feeling into words. For years his writings gave a logical structure and framework for things that I’ve observed in my own life, making sense of gut feelings and observations. He will be greatly missed my many of us.”

1962 Missale Romanum Released
Missale Romanum 1962 has been in preparation ever since Pope Benedict XVI released his new motu proprio 'Summorum Pontificum.'
The preferred altar missal amongst the American clergy, being the most user-friendly edition of the Missal for the Traditional Latin Mass, Benziger's classic standard edition is available once again thanks to the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius in Chicago.
This is the only reprinted Altar Missal available in complete conformity with the final revisions made by the Holy See in 1962 to the traditional Roman Missal.
So unlike the other “1962” altar missal being offered in the USA, this edition includes:
* St. Joseph's name in the Canon (added in November 1962),
* the Ad Libitum Prefaces (added in July 1962 and which includes the restored Advent preface),
* the Pro Aliquibus Locis Section specifically arranged for the dioceses of the United States per the 1962 liturgical calendar (added in December 1962)
* and the original imprimatur by Cardinal Francis Spellman.
More information on the Missal can be found at:
http://www.sanctamissa.org/en/missale-romanum-1962/
The Missals were completed the Feast of the Epiphany, January 6, 2009.
The 1962 Missale Romanum features a bonded red leather hardcover, gold-embossed, 1,290 pages, and measuring 83/8” x 11¼” and is approximately 2¾” thick.
Our poly-grosgrain colored ribbons finished with bows prevent fraying. The Missal's strong midi-braid leads bridges the ribbons to the spine and protects pages and life of ribbons.
The flexible bonded leather tabs are in red and black. The original quality black and red text are found throughout the Missal. The Missal has sturdy sewn binding and reinforced endsheet construction. It features non-acid missal-quality paper.
The gorgeous gold-gilded page edges are protected by a complimentary slip jacket for proper storage of this worthy investment.
The famed Benziger Brothers were one of America's premier printers to the Apostolic See before the Second Vatican Council. Benzinger Brother's in addition to their book publishing business, began the lithographing of religious pictures.
Their crisp and beautiful chromo-lithograph images in their 1962 Missale Romanum were some of their most superb work.
Now the Benzinger 1962 Missale Romanum is yours again today thanks to the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius and the Cantius Webstore.
