Introduction:
On this year 2009, year of our Lord, we gather, remember, reflect, and celebrate as CBCP and CEAP, guided by the theme: Hold it in Trust – Leadership as Stewardship. We firmly believe in the outpouring of God’s abundant grace. May the Spirit of Discernment come upon us and stir our hearts and lead us to communal acts of stewardship for the transformation of our beloved country, and for the world.
An opening Eucharistic celebration officiated by His Eminence, Gaudencio B. Cardinal Rosales, Archbishop of Manila, will usher in the National Convention, which will be keynoted by His Excellency, Most Rev. Edward Joseph Adams, D.D., Apostolic Nuncio in the Philippines. Among the events lined up for the convention are a panel discussion on the spirituality of stewardship, a forum with national leaders, concurrent workshop sessions, panel discussions, and product fairs and exhibits.

Summary:
Other highlights of the convention resolutions were the following: (a) the desire to cooperate and actively participate in the development of the national language program of the Commonwealth; (b) the promotion of Catholic Action by the member-schools of the Association; and (c) the endorsement for the creation of a textbook commission for the Association.

    It often has been said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If someone were to look up beauty in the dictionary, they would read this: beauty is a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction. In other words, beauty is anything that is pleasing to the eye. Today’s society teaches that the way to beauty is to become rich and successful, only worrying about oneself, but is that true beauty? Is true beauty not giving oneself up for another? True beauty comes when someone cares about others that cannot return that care. Jean Vanier embodies true beauty because he gave up a rich, easy lifestyle to invest himself into and live with people who could not offer him anything in return.…

    For this fieldwork assignment I decided to go to a Roman Catholic Church. I was raised Catholic and I went to a Catholic school from second grade to eighth grade so, I had background knowledge on the teaching of the church.

All of these reoccurring tendencies support my thesis, which is: one of the many values the Catholic Church holds importance to is having much respect for their God.

    The Annual Catholic Appeal helps families in the Archdiocese of St. Louis every year. By using donated money from the people of St. Louis, the ACA helps everyone out by using the money for various different needs. These include: schools, soup kitchens, families, the homeless, and everyone else in the community. Through the help from the community, the ACA was able to raise over thirteen million dollars, all from donated money. In fact, it was the largest pledge amount in the fifty-nine year history of the ACA. With numbers like these, it raises an interesting question: how are people in my own community and throughout the Archdiocese impacted by the ACA?…

    It is of great amazement that there are over seven-thousand catholic schools in America. Catholic education dates back to as far as the year 1606. By the latter 1600's, English colonists had set up their own, publicly supported schools. Since all the colonies were overwhelmingly Protestant, the rudimentary education often had a heavily fundamentalist Protestant population. During the same period, Catholic education progressed in non-British America: In New Orleans, the Franciscans opened a school for boys in 1718. The Ursulines opened one for girls in 1727.…

    There is no way to prove that Catholic Education is better than any other form of schooling, because everything is truly opinion based, but there are many facts against public and other private schools. Many people believe that sending their children to a Catholic school is a waste of money and time, but they could not be more wrong. I have grown up in the Catholic school system my whole life. I have realized that my peers and I have learned many more lessons on how to live a good life, and how to remain faithful. We are not only learning everyone’s typical subjects, but also what we need to be happy. Catholic schools are typically smaller and have more freedom to teach in different ways. This helps pupils become successful and reach their…
