Those accused of abuse are temporarily removed from ministry or assignment while investigations are ongoing. If the allegation is substantiated, the removal is permanent. Since his arrival in 2001, Archbishop Myers has removed permanently from ministry 19 priests against whom allegations were substantiated and who faced penalties under Church law. Only two Archdiocesan priests have been convicted or pleaded guilty to criminal charges involving minors during this same time, and both have resigned or been dismissed from the priesthood. No Archdiocesan priest has been charged with a crime involving minors since A full-time Office of Child and Youth Protection dedicated to protecting children works with parishes and schools to ensure that safe environments are in place throughout the Archdiocese.

5 SAINT OF THE WEEK St Thomas Aquinas ( ) Memorial January 28 St Thomas Aquinas so shocked his noble Italian family when he entered the Dominicans about 1244 that his brothers imprisoned him for a year. But he would not yield and after escaping studied under St Albert the Great. He was appointed as a master of theology in For the rest of his brief life, the dumb ox, as he was dubbed, taught, preached, and wrote, producing the monumental Summa Theologica. His thinking became enormously influential in later centuries and he was named a Doctor of the Church in JANUARY 25 31, 2015 Catholic Schools Week In this Catholic School Week, the USCCB recommends the following prayers: Prayer For Students Lord our God, in your wisdom and love you surround us with the mysteries of the universe. Send your Spirit upon these students and fill them with your wisdom and blessings. Grant that they may devote themselves to their studies and draw ever closer to you, the source of all knowledge. We ask this through Christ our Lord. R/ Amen. Prayer For Teachers Lord God, your spirit of wisdom fills the earth and teaches us your ways. Look upon these teachers. Let them strive to share their knowledge with gentle patience and endeavor always to bring the truth to eager minds. Grant that they may follow Jesus Christ, the way, the truth, and the life, forever and ever. R/ Amen. OUR CHURCH Access to Catholic Schools by Underserved Populations By Fr Joseph Corpora, CSC For the most part, parish schools were founded by religious women from dozens of religious communities, who for love of their Lord left their homelands to come to the United States to serve immigrants and their children. They loved their faith, had experienced its saving power in their own lives, and wanted to pass it on to the next generation. This endeavor was so successful that without even envisioning it the Church in the United States produced the world's largest private school system. Everywhere the Church did this, parish life thrived, children of immigrants were taught, and those children grew up to become good citizens for heaven and for earth. These children Irish, Polish, German, Italian, Lithuanian, and more came from humble economic roots. Their Catholic education put them directly on the road to fuller participation in American economic and civic life. Today, Latinos are that greatly underserved population. Depending on the data that one looks at, somewhere between fortyfour and fifty-five out of one hundred Latino children in public school kindergarten will receive a high school diploma, and twelve of those one hundred will earn a college degree. On the other hand, for every one hundred Latino children who go to Catholic school, ninety-six will receive a high school diploma, and twenty-five will earn a college degree. We have a historic opportunity now to repeat history for the Latino population. Latinos are the nation's fastest growing school age population and the least likely to graduate from high school. More than 70 percent of practicing Catholics in the United States under the age of thirty-five are Latinos. This is the future of the Church, and in many places, it is the current reality. The Church needs to make Catholic education accessible to the Latino population. Latinos will be the future leaders in parishes and dioceses. Latinos will be the presidents of parish pastoral councils and school advisory councils. Latinos are the future employees of our parishes and schools. They are the future leaders of much more than the Church. We need to provide them with the same opportunities and possibilities that we provided for the children of European immigrants. Latinos will respond to this invitation. They will welcome the opportunity for a faith-centered education. They are coming to know that the cities and towns they live in, in the United States, do not evangelize in the same way they did in their countries of origin. They need schools to help with this task. They want their children to know their faith, to remain Catholic, and to have the opportunity for a better life. Through this invitation, Latinos will remain loyal to the faith. The Church must figure out ways to make Catholic schools accessible and affordable to Latinos. The challenge is huge for Church leaders today. They must develop and implement strategies to bring Latinos into Catholic schools. It is a moral obligation for today's church. As a result, everyone will win. Latinos will be given a first-rate Catholic education. They will become leaders in society and in the Church. Our schools will thrive. Our parishes will become more vibrant. And would it be too much to say that, through these efforts, we will renew the face of the earth?
