Abstract:

As part of the Catholic Church organization, the Parish Secretariat has an important role in recording information relating to parishioners. The work of the Parish Secretariat staff is very helpful in supporting the Parish Priest's task in managing the administration of the Church. In its implementation in the Parish Catholic Church of St. Peter Palembang, the secretariat staff faced several problems because the application was only able to process one activity, namely documenting Baptist data. While other data processing is still done manually. The purpose of this study is to build applications that complement the shortcomings of existing applications. To produce applications that can run well and in accordance with needs, the method in the design process is needed. Extreme Programming method is the choice in this design because it is suitable for use in designing small scale applications. Index Term— Parish Secretariat Application, Catholic Church, Extreme Programming

Abstract:

Walsall in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was a large parish containing a small borough. The borough claimed to be ‘by prescription’, but it had charters including one given by King Charles the First in 1627. This secured to the corporation ‘of the borough and foreign of Walsall’ authority in the parts of the parish outside the borough. These, called ‘the foreign’, had a vestry meeting of their own at the chapel-of-ease at Bloxwich. They supported their own poor through churchwardens and overseers elected there, but they were obliged to contribute to the repair and improvement of the parish church where they were married and in whose churchyard they were buried until 1733.

Abstract:

The Ukrainians were displaced in 1947. The number of 2734 people were displaced to the the vicinity of Wałcz. The Greek Catholic church was considered illegal in Poland. The Greek Catholic parish in Wałcz, which was established only in 1959, played an important role in shaping religious and national consciousness among Ukrainians on the Land of Wałcz. In 1959 Teodor Markiw, priest begins his pastoral work. The Greek Catholic parish was a pillar in the ﬁ ght against national and religious assimilation for the displaced Ukrainian population from the “Vistula” campaign. The Ukrainian community was going through various stages of its existence, among others: a period without speciﬁ c forms of religious worship – the believers without a parish, pastoral activity and integration of a dispersed community. The Greek Catholic parish helps break down various stereotypes. The Ukrainian community in Wałcz keeps in close contact with Ukraine. The article shows the presents activity of the parish on two levels: religious and national.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper considers the teaching of Vatican II on the presbyterate in relation to the episcopate, against the background of the history of these ministries. The Council used Ignatius of Antioch and the Apostolic Tradition in its renewed teaching that presbyters form a college in union with the bishop, who is high priest of his local church. Since the fourth century, however, presbyters have been dispersed to act as individual parish priests. Tensions between this model and the earlier one are explored, as is the liturgical and theological renewal that led to Vatican II’s teaching. It is finally proposed that the Council offers valuable resources, not yet fully realized, for pastoral planning in a time of priestly shortage.

The need for a new file plan in the diocese’s parishes has a historical context in the history of the German Catholic Church over the last two decades. Because the Catholic Church has the same administrative system from the Vatican to diocese to parish in almost every country in the world, the article’s findings can be transferred into the parish records management processes of the dioceses of other countries.

The article treats baptismal, matrimonial and death parish registers in 17th–20th centuries, also lists of confirmees and lists of converts to Roman Catholic Church or Orthodox Church, lists of parishes and parishes’ residents of territories in Lithuania, Belarus, Poland and East Prussia. Manuscript materials used in article belong to various Christian and non-Christian confessions: Roman Catholic, orthodox, uniate, evangelical reformers, evangelical Lutheran, Karaite, Jew/Hebrew, Tartar. The article treats origin of parishes’ registers chronology, how parishes’ registers were written, and which information was in them also defines confessional singularity. Focus on 17th–18th century parishes registers – mostly Roman Catholic.Church parishes registers at first were started to write in Italy (1396) and in Provence. The Council of Trent of Roman Catholic Church in 1563 obligated fill in baptismal and matrimonial parish registers, ordinary “Rituale romanorum” in 1614 obligated to fill in death registers and lists of parishes residents. Filling of parishes registers in Roman Catholic and Protestant churches became overall in 17th century, in Orthodox and Uniate churches – in 18th century. The first information about parishes’ registers in Lithuania was introduced in visiting-round of Samogitia bishop in 1579, but the oldest known parish register is baptismal register of Joniškis church and it begins in 1599.The article treats evolution of parishes’ registers in Lithuania. Noticeable that death registers were started to fill only in 17th century and involved only part of departed.

Abstract:

Abstract In the Roman Catholic Church a parish is the smallest legal unit and it is the milieu for religious, social, and cultural activities for a group of people joined together in a geographical area. The purpose of this article is a sociological study examining the Catholic parish in Poland as a local community. Today a parish along with its community is exposed to social change and to myriad forces characteristic of the postmodern culture. In Poland two opposite forces characterize the life of a parish community: on the one side, secularization and individualization, and on the other side, socialization and evangelization. The subjective dimension of a local community, which is related to identification of people with a local parish, along with social bonds with the parish as a local community, are discussed in the first two sections of the article. In subsequent sections some issues related to common activities, membership in movements, religious communities, and Catholic associations within the parish will be presented. While the agency of people in the parish community is theoretically acknowledged, it is still not fully implemented. The discussion is based on the data obtained from major public opinion institutes in Poland.

Abstract:

Under The Influence of Enlightenment ideals of rational administration and cameralist notions of increasing the productivity and welfare of the populace, Joseph II and his ministers embarked on an aggressive program of reform for the Habsburg monarchy in the late eighteenth century. Their view as to what needed change was wide-ranging, but among their chief concerns was the desire to restructure the relationship between the Catholic church and Austrian society. As the largest and most powerful religious denomination in the Habsburg monarchy, the Catholic church possessed immense human and material resources, which could possibly be exploited to benefit the Austrian people and state. For Joseph II, the process whereby Catholicism could best be put to use in Austrian society necessarily involved seizing partial administrative control over the Catholic church. The Catholic church, he believed, did not distribute material and moral benefit to the Austrian people evenly, and changing this situation required the active intervention of the Austrian government.

Abstract:

This article refers to the political risks that a group of five parishioners, members of an aristocratic Catholic parish located in Santiago, Chile, had to face when they recovered and discovered unconscious meanings about the hard and persistent psychological and sexual abuse they suffered in that religious organisation. Recovering and discovering meanings, from the collective memory of that parish, was a sort of conversion event in the five parishioners that determined their decision to bring to the surface of Chilean society the knowledge that the parish, led by the priest Fernando Karadima, functioned as a perverse organisation. That determination implied that the five individuals had to struggle against powerful forces in society, including the dominant Catholic Church in Chile and the political influences from the conservative Catholic elite that attempted to ignore the existence of the abuses that were denounced. The result of this article explains how the five parishioners, through their concerted political actions and courage, forced the Catholic Church to recognise, in an ambivalent way, the abuses committed by Karadima. The theoretical basis of this presentation is based on a socioanalytical approach that mainly considers the understanding of perversion in organisations and their consequences in the control of anxieties.

Abstract:

This chapter examines how Italian Americans negotiate a diversifying Church and urban landscape and contend with sharing their saint with Haitian and Haitian American devotees of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. While the feast is a site where Catholics of different races and ethnicities share devotional space, it is also a site of intra-Catholic boundary making. Devotional celebrations are sites of religious evaluation, racializing, and territoriality, where onlookers judge who is and who is not acting as a “good Catholic” and whose devotional affinities verge on “superstition.” Public performances of devotion are where people judge, construct, and enact Catholic propriety. Through everyday talk and boundary-making practices, Italian American Catholics construct ideas of “good” American Catholic practice and label the practices of ethnic and racial others as admirable yet foreign and excessive, echoing the very same discourses that placed their ancestors outside the bounds of “good” Catholic practice.

Abstract:

Exploring sociological literature across almost three-quarters of a century, this chapter maps the origins and trajectory of sociologists’ exploration of the parish from the 1950s to today. From its contentious start to its largely applied orientation today, the chapter highlights several eras of parish research and argues that our current lack of sociological research on Catholic parishes can be traced to the tenuous relationship between the academy and the institutional Catholic Church. The chapter concludes by asserting that parish studies can be simultaneously good for the academy and good for the church. The future of sociological studies of the parish rest upon the willingness of both the academy and the church to accept this proposition.

Abstract:

This chapter is about how fundraising is a devotional practice. Dollars and cents are not secondary to Catholic devotion but are intertwined with intergenerational bonds between men, loyalties to the church, and ideas about survival and community longevity. Counting, collecting, and soliciting money is religious work. Discourses of life and death sacralize money and valorize men’s labor as productive and vital. Keeping the parish alive then becomes a masculine duty. This chapter takes readers backstage in the money room at the feast and through embodied ethnography explores how parishioners are trained in money work. Following the labor of one man, it explores how money work is a calling and how it binds feast organizers to the parish and implicates them in the labor of sustaining the church. This chapter unpacks men’s organizational labor and constructions of “productivity” and “dedication” to consider how they embody masculinities through working for the church.

Abstract:

This chapter explores masculinity and material culture in the backstage space of the church basement, where devotional and ritual objects are under construction. It argues that manual labor is devotional labor and examines the relationship between masculinity, embodiment, and religious transmission. In the basement men learn to embody masculine values and skills, like craft, creativity, and dedication. Through painting saints and building the giglio men enact their devotion and commitment to the parish and achieve belonging and status in the feast community. In this homosocial space, men demonstrate proficiency in Catholic iconography and negotiate questions of materiality and sacred presence as they repair the broken bodies of saints. This chapter explores the relationship between homosociality, Catholic practice, joking, and camaraderie among lay men. As embodied ethnography, this chapter centers reflexivity by examining the positionality of the female ethnographer in the male space and gender in fieldwork.

Abstract:

This chapter closely traces the history of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish from its founding in 1905 through its closing after Hurricane Katrina in 2006 as a window into the evolution of New Orleans Catholicism from the nineteenth century through the twentieth, with a particular focus on the evolving significance of race and the role of transnational identities. An analytical microhistory of Lourdes Parish in the context of the lengthy history of New Orleans Catholicism reveals that racism and racial identity divided New Orleans Catholics through segregation, desegregation, and integration, even as a common Catholic culture posited a shared religious identity that transcended racial divisions. Throughout the experience of Lourdes Parish, and arguably in New Orleans Catholicism more broadly in the twentieth century, the particularities of white supremacism and racial identity interacted in dynamic tension with the universalistic claims of a common Catholic culture embracing all believers even as the New Orleans Church belatedly Americanized from its Gallic roots. One product of this tension was the distinct black Catholic culture that emerged at black-majority Catholic parishes in the Crescent City as black Catholics struggled against racism in the Church.

Abstract:

Each year the Shrine Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel celebrates its annual Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and San Paolino di Nola. The crowning event is the Dance of the Giglio, a devotional spectacle of strong male bodies lifting the giglio, a four-ton, seventy-foot tower through the streets. This ethnographic study delves into this masculine world of devotion and the religious lives of lay Catholic men. As an embodied ethnography it reflects on the gendered and bodily processes of fieldwork. It argues that the stakes of devotion are high amid neighborhood change and gentrification in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This intergenerational community of Italian American men understands devotion as the very work of keeping the parish alive. It argues that churches are vital sites for the making of masculinity and that religious communities offer enduring and appealing models of manhood to contemporary men.

Abstract:

This chapter explores how Williamsburg, Brooklyn, captures, in miniature, broader twentieth- and twenty-first-century trends of deindustrialization, urban renewal and the decline of the white ethnic enclave, gentrification and the revitalization of cities, and neoliberal politics. It places architecture, development, and gentrification at the center of threats to the longevity of religious communities like the Catholic parish. It argues for the importance of religion and religious institutions in understanding how communities resist and adapt to gentrification. It theorizes “lifeblood of the parish” and explores the Shrine Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel’s ethic of survival amid decades of neighborhood change, under Robert Moses and Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The feast and giglio are an assertion of a particular masculine history of Williamsburg, and this chapter examines the gendered logics by which communities work to secure and narrate their survival in a city increasingly built for leisure, tourism, and the creative class.

Abstract:

Paul Hanly Furfey chose to pursue Social Work in his doctoral studies as a way to best witness to the Christian tradition. As a graduate student, Furfey served in a parish near the university and worked for John O’Grady at Catholic Charities. At Catholic Charities, Furfey became involved in a broader debate over the extent to which Catholic youth should mix with Protestant or secular communities for recreation. Furfey disagreed with Boy Scout leaders who urged Catholics to mix indiscriminately with other children at their camps. Furfey agreed that should Catholics attend BSA camps but only under Catholic auspices. Furfey also disagreed with his Catholic counterpart, Kilian Hennrich of the Catholic Boys Brigade. Hennrich insisted that Catholic boy scouts remain completely separate from non-Catholic institutions where the children might be pulled away from the Catholic Church by Protestant proselytizers or secular indifference. Furfey argued that a compromise was possible in maintaining a Catholic ethos among Catholic boys within a broader secular camping experience. Furfey’s dissertation, later published as a book, The Gang Age, engaged the latest research in the burgeoning field of boyology. His work at the parish and Catholic Charities provided him direct contact with the field.

Abstract:

Drawn from ethnographic observation in the Washington, D.C., area, this chapter explores how racially diverse, highly educated, and highly involved young adult Catholics in the region of Washington, D.C., relate to parishes. The Catholic scene, for young adults in this locale, is constructed through the efforts of parish-based young adult groups, diocesan offices for Young Adult Ministry, and parachurch organizations. Consequently, this group relates to parishes in three distinct but overlapping ways: parish as home, parish as hub, and parish as sacrament-station. This chapter suggests that scholars rethink the centrality and functions of the parish in American Catholicism. Using the D.C. region in this study, it would be a mistake to assume that young adults who are “loosely tethered” to D.C. parishes are disengaged from the church.
