Rev. Schmidt addresses the primary responsibilities and concerns of an American Catholic priest serving in a parish in the early twentieth century. He discusses aspects of the priest's personal life including balancing study and friendships in the rectory, loyalty, cleanliness, order and kindness. The author offers guidelines for preaching, visiting the homes of parishioners, making sick calls, acting as financial manager, serving as superintendent of the parochial school, and promoting Christian education in the parish. He is called to defend the poor and to work for social justice in the wider community. Schmidt describes the moral degradation of American society due to the influences of socialism, Bolshevism, and Humanistic worldliness. He says that America can only be saved from moral destruction by reverence for God, exemplified by the priest, especially through adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

A provocative new biography probes deeply into the storied life of Father Ted Hesburgh, the well-loved but often controversial president of Notre Dame University. Considered for many decades to be the most influential priest in America, Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, played what many consider pivotal roles in higher education, the Catholic Church, and national and international affairs. American Priest examines his life and his many and varied engagements—from the university he led for thirty-five years to his associations with the Vatican and the White House—and evaluates the extent and importance of his legacy. Author and Notre Dame priest-professor Wilson D. Miscamble tracks how Hesburgh transformed Catholic higher education in the postwar era and explores how he became a much-celebrated voice in America at large. Yet, beyond the hagiography that often surrounds Hesburgh’s legacy lies another more complex and challenging story. What exactly were his contributions to higher learning; what was his involvement in the civil rights movement; and what was the nature of his role as advisor to popes and presidents? Understanding Hesburgh’s life and work illuminates the journey that the Catholic Church traversed over the second half of the twentieth century. Exploring and evaluating Hesburgh’s importance, then, contributes not only to the colorful history of Notre Dame but also to comprehending the American Catholic experience. Praise for American Priest “An excellent, engaging biography . . . [Miscamble] deftly captures the ‘whole Hesburgh’ in a fair and thorough portrait.” —Catholic Philly “Excellent . . . the story that Father Miscamble tells is an all-American story—the rise of a Catholic of relatively modest background, close to his immigrant roots, to a place of prominence among the nation’s elite.” —Public Discourse

Fr. Augustine Tolton (1854-1897) was the first black priest in the United States. Born into a black Catholic slave family, Father Tolton conquered almost insurmountable odds to become a Catholic priest, and at his early death at 43, this pioneer black American priest left behind a shining legacy of holy service to God, the Church and his people. With the thorough scholarly research and inspirational writing by Sister Caroline Hemesath, the great legacy of this first black priest in the U.S., and his courage in the face of incredible prejudice within the Church and society, will be a source of strength and hope for modern Christians who face persecution for their faith, especially black Catholics who still experience similar prejudices. In American history, many black people have achieved, against great odds, success and have made distinct contributions to our society and their fellowman. But Father Tolton faced a different source of prejudice - an opposition from within part of the Church, the one institution he should have been able to rely on for compassion and support. He endured many rebuffs, as a janitor he spent long hours in the church chapel in prayer, and he attended clandestine classes taught by friendly priests and nuns who saw in his eyes the bright spark of the love of God, devotion to the Church and a determination to serve his people. Denied theological training in America, these friends helped him to receive his priestly education and ordination in Rome. He later became the pastor of St. Monica's Church in Chicago and established a center at St. Monica's which was the focal point for the life of black Catholics in Chicago for 30 years. The author interviewed many people who knew Father Tolton personally (including St. Katharine Drexel), and she presents a deeply inspiring portrait of a great American Catholic. Book jacket.

Excerpt from The American Priest N offering this little volume to the Priests I of America, I have been guided by two great motives: the first is my love for that great Church in which I am a priest forever, the holy Roman Catholic Church; the second is my love for the land of my birth, the glorious United States of America. Loving both, I cannot desire anything more than that both should continue to thrive, and that my country, sanctified by the teachings of the Church, may.

In these fascinating pages, popular author and speaker Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers tells the gripping story of Augustine Tolton, who valiantly overcame a series of seemingly insurmountable challenges — birth into slavery, his father's death, abject poverty, and even being denied acceptance by every Catholic seminary in America — to become the first black American priest. Despite the hardships placed on Fr. Tolton by a culture rooted in racial hatred, he became a tireless messenger of the Gospel, plunging into the Deep South where segregation was decreed by harsh laws, penetrating even the hardest of hearts with the richness, beauty, and truth of the Catholic Faith. He was a beacon of hope to black Catholics in the 19th Century who were trying to find a home in the American Church. He was a visionary who saw beyond race and politics, teaching that the Catholic Church wants to free us not just from slavery, but from slavery to sin. Amidst great persecution, Fr. Tolton showed us that being configured to Christ means emptying ourselves so that God can fill us, exposing the weakest parts of who we are so that God can make us strong, becoming blind to the ways of this world so Christ can lead us, and dying to ourselves so we can rise with Christ. All who seek to be formed more perfectly to Christ have a role model in Fr. Tolton, a persevering and holy man who sought above all the salvation of souls.

Although I served as a Catholic pastor in Cuba from 1994 until 1998, it wasnt until around 2003 that I started writing down some of my experiences and thoughts, which came to form this little book. I approached a couple of publishers with it, but found no interest. So I made it available over the internet to anyone who might be interested in Cuba. As now in 2012 my family has kindly offered to see about printing up a small number of copies, I wondered if some up-dating of the material should be done. After all, a number of years have passed. But while I have been interested in following the news about what has since happened in Cuba I am by no means an expert on more recent events. And as I have been serving the small Spanish-speaking community in Okinawa, Japan for the past seven years my access to Cuban news is limited. So, I just present here the text as it is: my view of the Cuban situation during the years I actually lived there. Having moved from English to Spanish, then to Miskito in Nicaragua, then to Japanese, my grammar, spelling and capitalization practices have become a bit confused. I am grateful for the editing and correction help of my brother and of Prof. Anthony Jenkins of the Ryukyu University here in Okinawa, but Ill have to take responsibility for errors and inconsistencies that remain. May God grant that these pages be of some use in promoting better understanding and peace among nations. (March 3, 2012)

The first commercial, in-depth biography of the American-born Roman Catholic priest who may well be declared a saint. . . . “Delightful. . . . No magisterial biography emanating a suffocating aura of pomp and self-importance, this book is as low-key and as uplifting as Father Michael McGivney himself.”—Calgary Herald “Father McGivney’s vision remains as relevant as ever in the changed circumstances of today’s Church and society.”—Pope John Paul II In a time of discrimination and poverty for Catholics across America, Father Michael McGivney (1852-1890), began a legacy of hope that continues to this day. Called to action in 1882 by his sympathy for these suffering people, this dynamic yet tenderhearted man—the son of Irish immigrants— founded the Knights of Columbus, an organization that has saved countless families from destitution. At heart, Father McGivney was the model of an American parish priest: Beloved by children, trusted by adults, and regarded as a “positive saint” by the elderly in his New Haven, CT, parish—a truly holy man whose life and works are still celebrated today.
