Paulist Fathers

Paulist Fathers A missionary society of Catholic priests sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ Paulists do not condemn culture, nor do they try to conform the Gospel to it.

The Paulists seek to meet the contemporary culture on its own terms, to present the Gospel message in ways that are compelling but not diluted, so that the fullness of the Catholic faith may lead others to find Christ's deep peace and "unreachable quietness." Rather, we preach the Gospel in new ways and in new forms, so that the deep spiritual longings of the culture might find fulfillment in Jesu

s Christ. To this end, Paulists use printing presses, movie cameras, and the Internet to give voice to the words of Christ - the Word Himself - to a new generation of Americans. The founder of the Paulists, Servant of God Isaac Hecker, was a spiritual seeker, a wandering soul. He lived for a time in Transcendentalist Utopian communities where he consulted the leading thinkers of his day. Though a seeker, he became a man of conviction: once he found the truth in the Catholic Church, he gave his whole life to it. His only desire was to proclaim the truth to others so that they too could find their true selves as North American Catholics. Today our Paulist family grows, joined by Associates and lay collaborators in foundations throughout North America. The vision of Hecker – through our hearts and voices – is at work in the Spirit to:

* Seek out those who desire healing and reconciliation,
* work toward Christian unity and dialogue with faiths outside our tradition
* in parishes, on the campus, through video and publishing

Bishop Garcia's Message for Labor Day
———
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

This Labor Day, we give thanks to God for the gift of work and for all those who labor each day to support their families, serve their communities, and contribute to the common good.

May God bless all workers with strength and dignity; may he comfort those who are unemployed, underemployed or struggling, and may he instill employers with compassion and respect for all for whom they are entrusted.

As we go about our daily work let us reflect the love of Christ in every interaction. And so, my brothers and sisters, let us pray for each other, asking God to help us to be the most profound witnesses to all we encounter.

May God bless you and all who labor.

Sincerely in Christ,
Bishop Daniel E. Garcia
