Sunday, when we begin our year-long campaign in support of the dignity and sanctity of life. The clear connection between these two components of our faith recently was powerfully illustrated for me thanks to the generosity and great work of Catholic Relief Services, which is the international humanitarian agency of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. With the financial backing of CRS, and a small contribution from the Diocese of Salt Lake City, I and a member of the Diocesan Peace and Justice Commission traveled with five other American delegates to Malawi, where we met Mrs. Ellison Nyrirenda and Mr. Yona Dankeni and learned how the sanctity and dignity of their lives, and many others, have been protected from the devastating blows of climate change.

At Judge Memorial Catholic High School, theology teacher and campus minster Michele Gelaude saw Pope Francis’ visit to the United States as a reflection of “the living Church in our world,” she said, and used the opportunity to have her students view videos of the presidential welcome, the pontiff’s speech to Congress and his visit with Catholic Charities clients in Washington, D.C.
President Barack Obama’s introduction of Pope Francis “was really a beautiful testimony to our Church – talking about Catholicism in the United States,” and the Holy Father’s visit to Catholic Charities was “a beautiful commentary about the pope and how he goes to the margins” and models service to the poor, Gelaude said.

A relic of the Holy Cross sheltered inside the Cathedral of the Madeleine and occassionally placed on display was a gift from Pope Pius X to Bishop Joseph S. Glass on the occasion of the re-dedication of the Cathedral of the Madeleine. “This relic is very special; not all cathedrals have one,” said Father Eleazar Silva, pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in Salt Lake City. The Vatican has the original relic of the Holy Cross “and with formaldehyde the extracted kind of a wooden sheet and this particular relic [the one in the Cathedral of the Madeleine] has two little pieces of it that are places as a cross in the middle of the relic,” said Fr. Silva. The Cathedral of the Madeleine and the Cathedral in France are the only cathedrals in the world that are dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene. IC photo/Laura Vallejo
