Honoring the United States’ First Catholic Archbishop
In this “Year of Consecrated Life,” we honor a United States Citizen and Jesuit Priest whom Pope Pius VI named as the first bishop of this country and subsequently the first archbishop of our country on No-vember 6, 1789. As archbishop of Baltimore (the country’s first dio-cese), Archbishop John Carroll ini-tially served the territory of all the original thirteen states.
We give thanks to the periodical Our Sunday Visitor for allowing us to re-produce their article.
John Carroll: A Catholic Bridge-Builder As the first American archbishop, he united Catholics and non-Catholics in post-Revolution America - by Russell Shaw
As the Revolutionary War drew to a close and the 13 former British colonies were being transformed in-to the United States, American Catholics faced an obvious, urgent challenge: to win the acceptance of their fellow Americans. Catholics in the new country totaled only about 25,000, with the largest con-centrations in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Few were rich or influential. Instead, in many places Catho-lics were targets of contempt, suspicion and persecution. Attitudes and practices transferred to the new world from the European religious wars of the 17th century.
TTTHEHEHE RRRIGHTIGHTIGHT MMMANANAN FORFORFOR THETHETHE JJJOBOBOB
In such circumstances the choice of a leader for the Church in America was of crucial importance. John Carroll — first bishop, later first archbishop in the United States — was the right man in the right place at the right time for this onerous, highly sensitive job.
A member of a wealthy and respected Catholic family, with excellent contacts among America’s political and social elite, Archbishop Carroll proved notably adept at building bridges with the non-Catholic world in a career spanning more than three decades. “A gentleman of learning and abilities,” John Ad-ams, who was to be second president of the United States, said of the young priest in 1776, the year of American independence.
Along with persuading Protestants that Catholics also had a place in America, John Carroll was to tack-le the mammoth task of building the infrastructure of the Church from scratch. And in this, too, he proved remarkably successful.
He was born Jan. 8, 1735, at his parents’ plantation in southern Maryland, the fourth of seven children. His older brother, Daniel, was to be one of only five men who signed both the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution. His cousin and lifelong friend, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, was the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence and the first U.S. senator from Maryland.
Following early studies in Maryland, young Carroll and his cousin Charles were sent to French Flanders to study at the Jesuits’ College of St. Omer, an institution established to accommodate the sons of well-to-do English-speaking Catholics who had no Catholic schools in their own countries. In 1753, aged 18, he entered the nearby Jesuit novitiate in preparation for becoming a priest of the Society of Jesus. He was ordained in 1771.
In the summer of 1773, Pope Clement XIV, under pres-sure from several Catholic monarchs with whom the Jesuits had tangled, issued a brief suppressing the Soci-ety. Carroll was shocked but, having no other choice, accepted the papal decree. (In later life, he would dis-play a marked preference — which he acknowledged — for ex-Jesuits like himself in filling clerical posts in his sprawling American diocese.) Returning home in 1774, he engaged in pastoral work near what is now Wash-ington, D.C., and there established the colonies’ first Catholic parish.
Continued on Page Seven…
Archbishop John Carroll founded several Catholic colleges in his lifetime, including Georgetown Uni-versity in Washington, D.C., in 1788; St. Mary’s University in Baltimore in 1799; and Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Md., in 1808.
He also help established several academies for girls, including Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School in 1788, St. Joseph’s College in 1809 (closed in 1973) and Nazareth in Bardstown, Ky., in 1814. (From Encyclopedia of U.S. Catholic History)

Spiritual Direction is time spent with a trained listener, someone who
can help us better understand our own story and where God has been present to us through the events of our lives.
The true director of our Spirituality is the Holy Spirit; God himself. But a trained confidential ear can be invaluable as we seek out the answers that only God can provide. Have you ever won-dered where God was in your day, your week , or life? Have you ever tried to discern what God’s plan for your life is? Have you ever tried to make sense out of an event in your life, and ask why did this happen? Spiritual Directors do not give you the answers but help you experience the an-swers as the Holy Spirit reveals them to you.
We all have a Spirituality - it is a gift from God; it is present to us whether we pay attention to it or not. It burns within each of us like a flame that burns for God. It is through our Spirituality that we come to know God at home in our heart. It is through our Spirituality that we respond to that love, as we reach out to those in need around us.
Spiritual Direction helps us to navigate through this land of Spirituality, not by showing you the well-traveled path but by helping you discover your own way, as you come to recognize the signs God has placed out for you to discover along the way.
Spiritual Directors meet with directees usually once every 4 to 6 weeks for about an hour. A free will donation is asked for each session, but other arrangements can be made. For further infor-mation please contact Deacon Darrell Kelsey at (708) 990-2689 or [email protected].
On November 14th at 8:00 a.m., we will be meeting in the Columba Room so that we can string up our outdoor Advent/Christmas Lights. As we are an “Anti-Frostbite Community,” we think this is the wise and sensible thing to do. Join us for coffee, donuts and a couple hours of so-cial time with your fellow parishioners!

A RA RA REVOLUTIONARYEVOLUTIONARYEVOLUTIONARY
In 1776, the Continental Congress, now in open conflict with the mother country, dispatched a mission to Canada to try to persuade the Canadians to join the struggle against Great Britain. The members were Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Chase, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and later justice of the Supreme Court, and Charles Carroll of Carrollton. Although not formally a member of the group, Father Carroll was asked — and agreed — to accompany it. A priest’s involvement, it was reasoned, would smooth the way with French Canadians. The effort failed, but Carroll’s role strengthened his im-age among the movers and shakers of his day as a trustworthy and capable figure.
Pope Pius VI in 1784 appointed him ecclesiastical superior of the mission in the United States. (This was the same Pope Pius who in August 1799 was to die in France as a prisoner of the French Revolution. For his part, John Carroll, though a strong supporter of the American Revolution, was disgusted with the extremism and violence of this French version of regime change.)
Four years later, after Rome authorized the priests of the United States — then numbering little more than two dozen — to choose a bishop, the result was predictable: an overwhelming vote for Father Car-roll. Pius VI approved the choice and named him first bishop in the United States on Nov. 6, 1789. His new Diocese of Baltimore encompassed the entire territory of all 13 states.
CCCHOOSINGHOOSINGHOOSING BBBISHOPSISHOPSISHOPS
This way of choosing a bishop may seem unusual now, with selection by the pope the norm, but it was common enough in the late 18th century, when direct papal appointment of bishops was rare and local clergy commonly made the choice. Often, too, secular authorities controlled the process — a role the American government declined to play from the start.
In later years Bishop Carroll favored adopting a method like the one used in his selection as the standard for the United States, but in this he had no success. His approach to the question of choosing bishops reflected the balancing act he found necessary to play on this and all other matters — on one hand un-shakable loyalty to the pope as the indispensable principle of unity in the Church; on the other the ever-present fear that too much involvement by Rome in local affairs “would draw on our religion a heavy imputation from the government under which we live.”
Similar sensitivity to the pastoral needs of the Catholic community he led can be seen in his support for a vernacular liturgy. Insistence on Latin, he remarked in 1787, may have made sense in response to “insulting and reproachful demands” for the vernacular by early Protestant reformers. But now, he said, citing the twin problems of illiteracy and a shortage of liturgical books, “to continue the practice of the Latin liturgy … must be owing either to chimerical fears of innovation or to indolence and inattention.” It was another 200 years before Carroll’s argument prevailed.
Consistent with this attitude, he desired a native-born clergy for the Church in the United States. In 1789 he founded the school that was to become Georgetown University with the aim of training “subjects capable of becoming useful members of the ministry,” and two years later brought French Sul-picians to Baltimore to establish a seminary there.
Inevitably, though, in the Carroll years the small body of priests working in the United States was large-ly foreign-born. Many were committed and effective, but some were eccentrics and troublemakers and a continuing thorn in their bishop’s side.
The same was true of the lay trustees who in a number of places owned the property of parishes and claimed the authority to hire and fire pastors. Archbishop Carroll dealt firmly with the situation, but trusteeism plagued his successors throughout much of the 19th century.

GGGROWTHROWTHROWTH OFOFOF U.S. CU.S. CU.S. CHURCHHURCHHURCH
In 1808, recognizing the growth of the Church in the United States, Pope Pius VII created four new American dioceses: Boston, New York, Phil-adelphia and Bardstown, Ky. Baltimore became the metropolitan archdiocese, and John Carroll was elevated to archbishop. Two years earlier, in Baltimore, he had laid the cornerstone of the first cathedral in the United States — the Cathedral of the Assumption, today a basilica — with Ben-jamin Henry Latrobe, architect of the U.S. Capi-tol in Washington as its designer. Archbishop Carroll did not live to see its completion. He died in Baltimore Dec. 3, 1815, and is buried in his cathedral’s crypt.
A quarter-century earlier, taking possession of the see, the new bishop lamented that it would no longer be enough for him to be merely “inoffensive in my conduct and regular in my manners.” Instead, he said, his job included not only caring for the faithful of his vast diocese, with “nothing in view but God and your salva-tion,” but also fostering “charity and forbear-ance” toward other churches while simultane-ously avoiding the “fatal and prevailing indiffer-ence which views all religions as equally ac-ceptable to God and salutary to men.”
He got the job done. At the time of his death, the Catholic Church in the United States was grow-ing in numbers (close to 120,000), putting down institutional roots, and at peace with Protestant America. What neither John Carroll nor anyone else knew or could have known was that the na-tion then stood on the brink of a vast immigrant influx that would soon bring explosive growth, plus new tensions, to American Catholicism.

Las viudas confiadas juegan un importante papel en las lecturas de esta semana. Aunque eran pobres y el dar aún algo bien pequeño podría poner en pe-ligro su salud y bienestar, confiaban en Dios y da-ban lo que podían. Lo que es importante sobre sus donativos no es la cantidad que daban, sino que daban algo. Sin egoísmo, daban para ayudar a otros. Su dar salía del corazón, con poca esperanza o intención de recibir algún premio o reconoci-miento por su generosidad. El valor monetario de los dones de las viudas eran pequeños, pero su va-lor en la medida del Reino era inestimable.
Hay una gran semejanza entre su regalo y el regalo que Jesús ha dado a cada uno de nosotros. Las viu-das ofrecieron sus vidas a Dios. Jesús ofreció su vi-da por nosotros. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co. TTTRADICIONESRADICIONESRADICIONES DEDEDE NNNUESTRAUESTRAUESTRA FFFEEE
Entre las comunidades hispanas aún existe el con-cepto de que a la Iglesia se le da limosna. Esta es una horrible costumbre, puesto que ni a Dios ni a la Igle-sia se le debe la limosna, sino el diezmo y no necesa-riamente económico, esto es, también debemos con-siderar tiempo y talento. Este diezmo se le da a Dios por medio del mantenimiento de la Iglesia, la ayuda directa a los necesitados, la generosidad con agen-cias de caridad, etcétera. No importa a quién o cómo damos el diezmo que debemos a Dios, lo que impor-
ta es reconocer que no es limosna, es decir, dar de lo que nos sobra. Es dar desde el corazón, compartir, como la viuda del Evangelio, lo que tenemos para vivir.
No obstante, muchos somos tacaños con el Señor. En lugar de dar con generosidad, damos poco o da-mos para hacernos notar. Damos de lo que nos so-bra, si acaso damos. Tenemos mucho que aprender de la viuda que se nos presenta en Marcos 12: 41-44. Ella, siendo pobre y necesitada, aún así quiso com-partir con Dios de lo que tenía para vivir. Casi siem-pre los pobres son más generosos que los ricos o la clase media. Son ellos quienes nos muestran la gene-rosidad de Dios y nos desafían a hacer lo mismo, a fin de erradicar la pobreza.
