ordained priests, women are the sign of the Church herself. It is important that Catholics begin to understand the role of women more deeply (Matt, 2014, p.10). In order to support Pope Francis’ views on the leadership role of women in the church, my parish, New All Saints Catholic Church encourage and support women to hold a variety of positions. For example, women are now extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist, lectors, teachers of theology, as well as altar…

An ending aspect of the MAP-IT framework’s assessment step includes prioritizing the health issues of the group, which in this case is the community of African-American citizens of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, with heart disease. Once this is done, then creation of an action plan for the community’s health issue is performed in the planning step of the MAP-IT framework (Healthy People 2020, 2017a). It is important to note that this framework is not nursing-oriented; it is a framework that can be…

This was a firm, unwavering conviction. This was in 1978 and RCIA had not yet been implemented, so my formation was based in reading, conversation, and parish studies as well as retreats, socials, and service projects.

In my opinion, the Magazine should be a coin to commemorate the revolutionary war. It is a very significant building in that era, and started the war. A coin would be a great way to represent this building. The magazine served many purposes during the revolutionary war. Some examples are a market, a school, and a stable. It also provided a Baptist meeting house and a Confederate arsenal. The Magazine was more than just a storehouse for gunpowder and weapons. One night in 1775, British soldiers…

The Colfax Massacre was a profound event in history, and as of today, it remains the single most bloodiest act of violence during the reconstruction era. The Colfax Massacre was an event of discrimination and prejudice that caused the death of many innocent people for an unjustifiable reason. The tension between African Americans and white Americans had never been more profound. White supremacists fired against the African Americans and killed many of them. Even after their surrender, the…

The most prevalent health issue in Canadian federal prisons…

In Genesis 3: 1-24, it is implied that the first sin was caused by temptation. The devil, or Satan, made himself appear as a serpent in the Garden of Eden; he informed Eve that the only reason why God did not want both her and Adam to eat from the tree with the forbidden fruit was because the fruit contained knowledge that only God had at the time. This portion of the bible expresses sin as any act that defies God’s command; God has certain expectations and rules for us that he provides us with…
