Catholic Campaign for Human Development Awards Money to.......guess who?

Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon is a group of liberal churches that promote many anti-Catholic moral values.  For the decades we have been affiliated with this "ecumenical" group no Catholic values have seemingly been even debated.

The deep connections we have with EMO confuses and most importantly make Oregon Catholics complicit in their agreement with abortion and same-sex marriage.

The next post will remind us of what a devout Catholic Priest and devout Protestant pastor want to share regarding this "strange bedfellow" that we have with EMO.



According to Oregon Live's   Community Helpers, Portland, Oregon please click for more info.:

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development in Oregon awarded 

$2,000 to Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, 

$1,500  to Outgrowing Hunger  

$ 1,500 to Vocoform, 

and $1,000 to Salem HUB for community-based projects.

  CCHD - USCCB website (just click)

 Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon violates some of these basic Catholic values. 

For example, applicant organizations that support or promote same-sex marriage, discrimination, capital punishment, abortion, euthanasia, or punitive measures towards immigrants are not eligible for CCHD funding.

  This organization is "incorporated" yet does not have a Board of Directors on it's webpage.  We would like to know who vetted this group that warranted our money.

+++++

Here are some guidelines for the recipients.  We need to have "Catholic" money going to things that don't go against Christ's teachings.  As you can see, these are not followed.

Criteria

1.  Applicant organizations must not participate in or promote activities that contradict the moral and social teachings of the Catholic Church and must in no way work against the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' priorities to defend human life and dignity, strengthen family life and the institution of marriage, and foster diversity. For example, applicant organizations that support or promote same-sex marriage, discrimination, capital punishment, abortion, euthanasia, or punitive measures towards immigrants are not eligible for CCHD funding.
2.  The application must focus on creating or expanding a stand-alone Economic Development Institution that will create income and/or assets for low-income people and communities.
3.  Members of the poverty group must have a strong voice in the leadership of the applicant organization. At least one-third of those who plan, implement, and make policy for the applicant organization (usually the board of directors) are low-income.
4.  At least one-half of the intended beneficiaries from the EDI must be low-income.
5.  The applicant has a complete plan for the EDI that documents all three of the components listed below:
      A.  An assessment and analysis of pertinent community needs, resources and regional     economic conditions that establish the EDI's strategic direction

      B.  A clear, comprehensive, and detailed strategic plan that establishes how the EDI will develop and operate over the next three to five years. This component must include:
            a.  Program description with goals, objectives, and the anticipated outcomes for job creation and/or asset development (see Guidelines, below).             b.  An EDI ownership structure that results in asset ownership within the low income community.
            c.  A multi-year financial strategy for the start-up and ongoing viability of the EDI.
      C.  A commitment and strategy for ongoing leadership development on the EDI Board of Directors, at least one-third of whose membership is composed of low-income people.
6.  Matching funds—in addition to any in-kind contributions—are committed to the EDI at a level at least equal to the request for CCHD funds.

Guidelines

CCHD has established the following threshold outcomes to ensure its funding will be directed to EDIs that have the potential for substantial job creation and/or asset development within their communities.

EDIs in underserved or distressed areas of the country (e.g., some rural and reservation communities) may receive special consideration, determined by regional standards.


EDIs must create ten or more new jobs that pay a living wage as determined by regional standards, or must develop asset ownership for more than ten individuals or families while also benefiting the larger community.

The EDI plan needs to relate the anticipated outcomes for asset development to the specific economic conditions of the EDI's community.

An application should establish that its EDI team—staff, consultants, institutional partners, and board—has the organizational capacity needed to ensure implementation.

An applicant organization should demonstrate a growing base of support (both financial and/or in-kind resources) that reflects valuable relationships in the community.

Priorities

Priority to encourage collaboration

An applicant organization should describe how it collaborates or plans to collaborate with other organizations in the course of implementation.
An applicant organization should demonstrate a willingness to participate in CCHD's education and promotion efforts.

Priority to link economic development with community organizing

An applicant organization should describe how it will use or promote community organizing among the EDI's beneficiaries so they could work together and with others on additional efforts to effect institutional change.

Priority to facilitate the development of information systems in organizations

An applicant organization should develop and regularly use a monitoring and evaluation system that relies on the active participation of beneficiaries and leads to increased EDI capacity and performance.
An applicant organization should establish an interest in sharing data with other organizations (including CCHD) for the purposes of peer support and mutual learning.

Eligible Use of Funds

CCHD funds may be used for general operating expenses, including staff salaries/training, procurement of technical assistance, board development costs and other overhead costs.
For business development, CCHD funds may be used as part of a financing package for start-up or expansion, including start-up costs or working capital.
For real estate development, CCHD funds may be used for pre-development or continuing operating expenses.
Funds may not be used for capital expenditures (e.g., real estate, vehicles, equipment).

Not Eligible for Funding

Economic Development Institutions structured without opportunities for participatory control and ownership by low income people
EDIs structured without opportunities to develop community-held assets (e.g., sole proprietorships, simple partnerships, or fee-simple housing projects are not eligible)
EDIs owned or controlled by governmental agencies (federal, state, or local), educational, or ecclesiastical bodies
EDIs whose primary focus is direct service (e.g. job training, business consulting, financial literacy, savings programs, or homeownership education programs by themselves are not eligible). Such services may complement an eligible EDI, but they cannot be the EDI's primary focus.
EDIs not structured to stand on their own as sustainable institutions
EDIs that intend to re-grant CCHD monies to other organizations.

 Here's a tongue and cheek piece that was sent on to me.  Some cute moments.

May 27, 2014 By Katrina Fernandez Leave a Comment

… Does your son fidget and act unruly during mass? Or does he get bored and sit there like a listless lump zoning out?

Do you wish he’d be more attentive, prayerful, or respectful and listen to the homily for stinkin’ once?!?
Now you too can have a new improved, wonderfully well behaved son accompanying you to mass each week with Altar Boy 2.0*!
Here’s how it works in one easy step.

Step 1 — Make your son be an altar server.
I don’t care if he wails and kicks and says you live to make his life miserable. Of course you do. That’s besides the point.

Engage your Catholic Mom Guilt powers and insist he make this one sacrifice for the Lord our God who died on the Cross for his ungrateful hump.

Ask him how many waking hours he spends a day watching TV, playing video games, hanging out with friends, or playing sports. Then ask him how many of those same waking hours he uses in prayer. Bust out your saddest, most disappointed mom face and ask why he can’t make time for Sweet Baby Jesus to serve at His altar?

If getting him good and guilted doesn’t work, appeal to his boy senses. Tell them there’ll be fire. And smoke. Lots of smoke.

And if he still doesn’t want to serve… who cares. Make him. And when he asks “why” give him the mother of all reasons. The Reason that’s been used for all of time, since your parents and their parents before them.

Because you said so.

Trust me, moms and dads. It’s worth the fight. The aggravation. The wailing and crying. Trust me.
Eventually over time your precious spawn will learn his protests are futile and he’ll begrudgingly succumb. And when he does something marvelous will happen.

He’ll learn the mass better than any way you can teach him, learning all the parts of the liturgy and their significance. He’ll even learn to take pride in his appearance.

But most importantly your sons will learn holy reverence and respect.

Isn’t that worth putting your foot down? In a few years you’ll thank me when you have a wonderfully polite young man accompanying you to mass.

You’re welcome.
*Altar Boy 1.0 included the use of girls and proved ineffective.

Archbishop Sample: "A Summer of Change". What's Going on at the Archdiocese of Portland?

A summer of change

Archbishop Alexander K. Sample Catholic Sentinel June 30, 2014 It is almost a cliché to say that “no one likes change.”   I don’t know if that is true or not for most people, but one thing I do know:  Change, even when it is needed, is not always easy. We have been going through some very significant changes at the Pastoral Center, the “headquarters,” if you will,of the Archdiocese of Portland, serving the many parishes and schools of western Oregon.  I can say without hesitation that these changes are not easy, but that they are timely and needed for us to move forward with the work of the New Evangelization  in this local Church. When I first arrived here as the new Archbishop over a year ago, I decided that I would spend my first year getting to know this local Archdiocese of Portland.  I did the best I could to listen, observe and learn.  This involved assessing the current state of affairs, both within the Pastoral Center offices and throughout the Archdiocese in western Oregon.   It also included an attempt to objectively identify the needs of this local community of faith in the Archdiocese. Coupled with the above, I have spent much time in prayer and reflection on the mission that the Lord Jesus has entrusted to me here as the shepherd called to minister to and lead this local Church according the mind and heart of the Good Shepherd.  I am by no means perfect in this regard, and I do not individually enjoy the charism of infallibility (just ask my mother!), but as they say, my heart is in the right place.  I desire only what God wants for us and what will help us all achieve the goal of our faith, i.e. salvation. I have already identified some of my top priorities moving forward.  They include, but are not limited to the following:  The education, catechesis and faith formation of our people, from the earliest days of childhood and into the senior years; the revitalization, renewal and reform of the divine worship we offer God in the sacred liturgy and in the sacraments of the Church; and the service of charity to all of our brothers and sisters most in need.  Included in all of this is an acute awareness of and attentiveness to the cultural diversity present in our local Church. These are the “three fronts” of the New Evangelization, i.e. faith formation, divine worship and the service of charity.  There are many other needs, for example marriage and family life and young adult ministry, but they are essentially related to these three areas of focus. After spending my first year here, I decided to bring in outside consultants who are experts in the reorganization and restructuring of Church entities.  They came to us highly recommended by others, and they have proven to be invaluable in helping us assess the current state of affairs and chart a way forward.  In all honesty,  they confirmed in many instances my own observations, but also surfaced some other things of which I was unaware. As a result of this study, my assessment of their observations and recommendations, and my own observations over this past year, we have begun to implement significant changes in our Pastoral Center operations.  We do this in order to better respond to current needs and to be more effective in responding to those needs, keeping a sharp focus on the mission of the Church and the priorities that have been identified. A major part of this reorganization involves changes in staffing.  In order to allow me to move ahead with this new vision and plans for our future together, several key staff persons are departing their service as employees of the Archdiocese.   In addition, one long time employee has taken the opportunity to retire. All have agreed to assist us for a month with the transition. I want to publicly and sincerely express my gratitude to these fine individuals for their years of faithful service to Christ and his Church here in the Archdiocese.  We will be forever grateful for the contributions they have made to build up the Body of Christ.  Their departure should in no way diminish their significant roles in the story of this local Church. So, change is difficult and involves some sense of loss as we see longtime friends depart.  It is to this point that I wish to express one final point.  I suppose it is natural to see such deep and significant  changes as being somehow a criticism or rejection of the past.  I sincerely do not want it to be seen in this way.  I have nothing but the deepest respect and gratitude for these fine people.  Almost all of them were here during some very difficult and challenging times for the Archdiocese. It is largely due to their dedication and hard work that this local Church came back from bankruptcy and began to rebuild. But with changing times come changing priorities and needs.  For us to move forward and meet the challenges we face today and in the future, reorganization and “re-tooling” are needed at this time.  It is with a tremendous sense of mission and enthusiasm that we move forward together.  There will be some restructuring of the offices even as we begin to fill vacated positions and staff new positions.  I humbly ask your prayers as we begin to rebuild and look to a future full of hope. And please remember the staff members who are leaving and their families.  May they find a new path as God continues to lead and guide them.

Archbishop Sample Reorganizes the Pastoral Center. Six resignations.

Director of worship leaves archdiocese

Sr. Jeremy Gallet Sister Jeremy Gallet, archdiocesan director of the Office of Worship, is leaving her job. Her resignation adds to the list of five other Portland archdiocesan staffers who left their jobs earlier this month. The department heads and key staff are departing as part of a reorganization of Pastoral Center operations. Archbishop Alexander Sample said the changes are part of the archdiocese's effort to streamline operations and better communicate with the Western Oregon parishes and  schools the Pastoral Center serves. The reorganization is the result of a months-long review of pastoral center practices by a firm retained by the archdiocese.

Entire Article on Joy Wallace from Catholic Sentinel, June 16, 2014. Link is broken.

It was pointed out to me that this link was "broken".  In fact, the Catholic Sentinel archives has no mention of Joy Wallace I could find.  So, here is the entire article.

      

Portland Catholic honored as guardian of bullied kids

Catholic Sentinel photo by Ed Langlois

Joy Wallace leads a group that works with schools to stop bullying.

6/16/2014 4:32:00 PM By Ed Langlois Joy Wallace thinks no one should get picked on for who they are.

A member of St. Andrew Parish in Northeast Portland, she has received a major award from the Oregon Education Association for defusing bullying in schools and aiding students who have been bullied.

Wallace, 68, is a founder and co-chair of the all-volunteer Oregon Safe Schools and Communities Coalition.

Among the youths most often bullied are those who are homosexual or transgender. Children with disabilities and learning differences also get persecuted.

When parents are dissatisfied with answers and actions from schools, they come to Wallace. The coalition helps the students and their families by responding vigorously to bullying — sometimes with volunteer lawyers — and by offering education and events to halt bullying and harassment before it begins. The coalition also collects data, which lawmakers use to hone policy.

“You can’t concentrate to learn mathematics if you fear your school environment,” Wallace says.

One of the hopes is to reduce suicide among victims of bullying.

“I guess I have a passion for making things more fair for people,” she explains, crediting Catholic social teaching for refining her passions.

Wallace received the OEA’s Ed Elliott Human Rights Award, named after an Oregon educator who worked for inclusivity in public schools during the civil rights struggles of the 1960s. The award goes to people who have made a sustained contribution to human rights in Oregon. When news of the recognition was announced after Mass at St. Andrew, worshipers gave Wallace a standing ovation.

Wallace, who became Catholic in 1988, was a high school teacher intent on social justice. While working in Corvallis, she noticed bullying just outside her classroom and felt a dearth of resources for making schools safer.

In 2001, four years after a move to Portland, she attended a conference on ending bullying and met others who felt like her. The coalition emerged.

A natural teacher, Wallace leads the group so it tells the history of discrimination, with an emphasis on ethical decision making. When the Oregon Legislature passed a tough anti-bullying law in 2009, the coalition took the lead in seeing to it that K-12 schools implement the policy. Organizers convene meetings so district representatives can become stronger advocates at their schools.

State guidelines don’t apply to private schools, but Wallace thinks the values at Catholic schools are a good start against discrimination. She urges Catholic school officials to monitor their institutions and look over the state policy.

Included in the coalition is the “Welcoming the Whole Family” Committee from St. Andrew Parish, which seeks to make gay and lesbians feel at home in the Catholic Church.

Wallace feels encouraged because new federal requirements against bullying have come out and are strong. “Having legislation is a good first step to having safer schools,” she says.

Now retired except for volunteering, Wallace once worked as development director for the Jesuit Volunteer Corps and the Franciscan Spiritual Center.

“She has deep roots in Catholic social justice teaching,” says Jane Braunger, also a member of St. Andrew’s. “It is also about hospitality for her. And I find her upbeat. She is never harsh in her criticism. She is about rolling up her sleeves and getting work done.”             

    

Foxes in the (Archdiocese of Portland's) Henhouse - Why Did the Catholic Sentinel Allow a Joy Wallace article?

Ed Langois, a reporter for the Catholic Sentinel since 1993, knows about Joy Wallace.  Robert Pfohman, the editor must know about her too, yet, he decided to put in the article below.

This, in my opinion, undermines Archbishop Sample; further confuse Catholics about the teachings of the Church by promoting active homosexuality even in our public and possibly Catholic schools; same-sex marriage and "woman priests". 

(This link below no longer works since this article was written)  Please see entire article at http://vocalblog.blogspot.com/2014/07/entire-article-on-joy-wallace-from.html)

Click http://www.catholicsentinel.org/m/Articles.aspx?ArticleID=25448

She got the award for supporting only homosexual and confused children in the schools.  Not fat kids, kids with glasses, wheelchair bounds kids or even red or yellow black or white kids.  As a "catholic" does she help these homosexual and confused children know that their Creator has a plan for each of their lives? 
Click http://www.oregoned.org/images/pages/RA_mediarelease_2014_Final_(1).pdf



This pose from 2013 by encouraging others to override Archbishop Sample request to not participate in the Portland Pride Parade. Joy is leading these people away from the Truth and no matter how she "feels", she shouldn't be considered a Catholic this invincible ignorance.

“It was much more difficult for me to tell my feminist friends that I had made the choice to become a Catholic than it ever was to come out as a lesbian.”





         













Sadly this is how far she is taking her disobedience of the Truth of Christ.





Joy Wallace holding book of professed "womanpriest" Toni Tortorilla at Sophia Christi "Catholic" community's 4th anniversary "mass". One of five in this Archdiocese administering Sacraments that are not valid.

She is on the Board of Directors of  EQUITY.  A pro-homosexual group.







Joy Wallace, Secretary, recently retired as a Development Director for a faith-based non-profit and has had a long career as an educator, mainly doing professional development for teachers and materials development in equity-related topics. She currently chairs the Oregon Safe Schools and Communities Coalition Board of Directors and serves on the Board of the Sophia Christi community ("womenpriests" church). She works with the Portland Catholic Coalition of Welcoming Parishes to increase welcoming queer ministry in Catholic churches. She has a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Oregon and a Master’s degree from Oregon State University. For fun, she volunteers in her granddaughter’s classroom, loves going camping, reading and gardening.

Finally, listen to what she says about the Catholic church.  Her contribution to this panel is seven minutes and thirty seconds (7:30) into the video below.

Cardinal Arinze & Mental Prayer

Archbishop Sample and Our Lady.

From VOCAL  in May.
The Spiritual War is On: Archbishop Sample Consecrates Archdiocese to 'Our Lady of Fatima": Sat. June 28th 2 pm


Reminder from a reader.   Thanks. 

Dear Friends in Christ: 
 
On June 28, the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, at 2:00 p.m. at St. Mary's
Cathedral.
 
Archbishop Sample will consecrate the archdiocese to the Immaculate Heart of Our Lady of
Fatima and do whatever is possible to promote the First Saturday devotion. 

The new Pilgrim Virgin Statue of the Immaculate Heart of Our Lady of Fatima which was
blessed by Pope Francis will be at the Cathedral.  

Some of the National Board  of the World Apostolate of Fatima will be there, EWTN will be featuring the event, the National Catholic Register, and possibly other Catholic media. 

The Statue will be in Portland until July 5 and will visit Five parishes as yet to be selected. 

Pass this information on to all of your relatives and acquaintances so we will have an overflowing crown to honor Our Lady.

N.K.

 

God Bless Archbishop Sample. You Will Be So Happy to Hear This.

With the world spinning seemingly out of control, we have a blessed Archbishop giving us hope.  With his strong moral leadership our money, seventy-five thousand dollars, will NOT be given to VOZ.  This organization has been funded for decades with Oregon Catholic money supporting anti-Catholic beliefs given through Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD).

You can type in "VOZ" in the "Search" bar and just the headlines will give you an overview of the battles we have been fighting to keep our Catholic money freed from this group's fist. 

(I will put the entire list at the bottom of this post as suggested by a follower. Also regarding "womenpriests". )  There is a problem putting all of them on this post.  I will try to add them in following ones.  Sorry.  There are eight more posts on VOZ and five on "womenpriests" that aren't posted on this blog but are in the SEARCH area.

 

ALSO, there is an absence of Catholic's in the Gay Pride Parade's line-up.  There is one little group lead by our Catholic "womanpriestess" but it is to be expected.  Catholic churches are not putting our Church in a scandalous position with Sister's of Perpetual Indulgence doing enough to degrade the image of the good nuns of Oregon.

Archbishop Sample, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love of Christ and putting this love in action.

Many of us have developed a coping mechanism of extreme caution it is almost paralyzing when trusting our Church leaders from the Archdiocese.  We have been treated as the seeming enemy of a Church we dearly love.  We are afraid to enter the Pastoral Center.  You are changing all that.

Thank you again dear Archbishop.

Happy Father's Day from your spiritual children.

Traditional Latin Mass in Salem: June 1st, 7am

Starting June 1st and the first Sunday of each month,  Saint Joseph's Church in Salem will be having the Traditional Latin Mass.

The Mass is a Missa Cantata, which is a sung Mass.   

It will be at the 7:00 am mass and it's a great way to start the day. 

If you have a Latin missal of your own please bring it.  There will be some available for your use if needed.

This is a great way to learn about the beauty of this mass and learn more about our Faith.

All are welcome. 

 G.K Chesterton responded to the idea that Latin is a "dead" language: "Every living language is a dying language, even if it does not die. Parts of it are perpetually perishing or changing their sense; there is only one escape from that flux; and a language must die to be immortal."

The Spiritual War is On: Archbishop Sample Consecrates Archdiocese to 'Our Lady of Fatima": Sat. June 28th 2 pm

Catholic Sentinel May 13, 2014

On the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, and two days after Mother’s Day, Archbishop Alexander Sample announced that he will consecrate the Archdiocese of Portland to the Blessed Mother under the title of the “Immaculate Heart of Our Lady of Fatima.” Inspired by Pope Francis, who consecrated the world to Our Lady of Fatima last October, the archbishop wishes to entrust anew the entire archdiocese to Mary’s maternal protection. The consecration will take place at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Portland Saturday, June 28, on the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Mass will begin at 2 p.m. All people of good will are invited to join in the Mass and consecration. This consecration, along with a corresponding promotion of the First Saturday devotions, is part of a spiritual effort to help support marriages and families in the Archdiocese of Portland. The new, National Pilgrim Virgin Statue of the Immaculate Heart of Our Lady of Fatima, which was blessed last October by Pope Francis, will be present for the Mass and consecration. The original statue of Our Lady of Fatima arrives in procession for a Marian vigil led by Pope Francis in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican Oct. 12. The statue was brought from Portugal for a weekend of Marian events culminating in Pope Francis entrustin g the world to Mary. (CNS photo/Paul Haring)
